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.
