Plymouth, Vt.—President Coolidge
expects an agreement to be reached
on terms for refunun g Belgium’s debt
to the United States.' •
An official statement issued after
the president bad di3'"J tr d the situa
tion for two hours with Secretary Mel
lon and Senator Smoot of Utah, said
"final agreement" was tn sight and
that no deadlock had developed.
President
Coolklre
whs
faced
squarely with the responsibility for ob
taining settlement of foreign war
debts of $12,000,000,000. only one-third
of which has been funded.
Secretary of the Treasury Andrew
Mellon and .Senator Smoot, Utah, re
publican. both members of the Amer
ican debt-funding commission, came to
this little mountain pass village to
Ixring to the president’s attention con
sideration of the deadlock at Washing
ton over the $480.000,000 Belgian debt
Upon the settlement of the Belgian
debt depends in large part the con
summation of the French debt pf $4,-
000,000,000 and the Italian obligations
of nearly $2,000,000,000. French and
Italian delegations are coming to
Washington soon to go over exactly
the same ground, and the three late
allies can be expected to offer a uní
ted front in their attitude toward
debts.
It is unlikely that an announcement
of the president's decision will be
made until after Mellon and Smoot
■have returned to Washington and
communicated with the Belgian com
; mission.
