British officials that the United
States officials at least will be will
!ng to attend a conforenco at which
'luch a proposition could be thor
oughly discussed. It was also stated
In American circles today that the
definite agreement to pay the British
debt to tho United States could or
might bo accompanied by a proposal
for a long poriod, say fifty years, in
which only interest would be paid.
It was explained that it was on the
theory that tho United States was
primarily interested in securing tho
ultimata payment of the British debt,
rather than an Immediate settle
ment. . "
In conference quarters It was tho
tho general view that Franco had In
dicated her willingness to give up
military penalties In return for the
cancellation of debts by the United

No Third Party
Prior to tho convening of the confer
ence, Mr. Johnston and other leaders
said tho formation of a third political
party was not contemplated, Mr.
Johnston said that "wo aro committed
to tho prlnclplo that tho primary Is a
distinct Institution and that it is in
tended ns a means whereby voters can
placo their candidates In nomination,
and wo Intend to uso our power In tho
primaries to nomtnato tho right mon,
regardless of political faith."
It was said, however, that some of
tho rank and fllo wore strongly in
favor of a third party movement.
Demand for the primary nomination
of candidates In states where thoro Is
no primary was mado in tho annual
report of tho national committee of the
conforenco, which states that "through
tho primary ballot, progressive candi
dates can bo nominated." Tho con
vention demanded that In those states
whore tho primary law does not exist,
a demand for tho enactment of such a
law should bo made on tho incoming
legislatures; In states where the law
is defective efforts should be mado to
perfoct them nnd that efforts of big
business and politicians to abolish or
devitalize, tho primary should bo defeated."
