PLYMOUTH, Vt., Aug. 17. (A. P.)
President Coolldge expects an agree
ment to be reached, probably tomor
row', on terms for refunding Bel
gium's debt to the United tSates.
An official statement Issued after
the president, had discussed tho sit
uation for two hours today with Sec
retary Mellon and Senator,. Smoot, of
Utah, said "final agreement" was In
sight and that no deadlock had de
veloped. The following statement in the
president's handwriting was given to
newspapermen nt noon:
"Secretary Mellon and Senator
Smoot have reported to the pres
ident the dqtalls of tho Washing
ton con?crencc. ' The progress is
satisfactory. No deadlock has
developed. The secretary and
senator came to Inform the presl- ' ,
. dent of the proposals before mak
ing the final agreement. The con
ference will re-convene at 3 P. M.
Tuesday, when it is expected a
final agreement may be reached,
after which n full nnd complete
statement will bo given to the
press by the American commis
sion." PLYMOUTH. Vt., Aug. 17. (A. P.)
Secretary Mellon nnd Senator Smoot
of Utah, came to the village of Ply
mouth today to discuss the Belgian
debt situation with President Cooltdge.
Arriving nt Ludlow, the nearest rail
road point, the two American debt
commission members were met by a
White House automobile which
brought them to the Coolldge home
stead. They reached here shortly he
fore 10 A. M. and Immediately went
into conference wlth the president.
. Both the seeretnry of the treasury,
who is chairman of the debt commis
sion, nnd Senator Hmoot carried port
folios containing a mass of data oh
the negotiations which have been in
progress In Washington with tho Bel
gian mission.
President Coolldge was waiting for
his visitors on the front porch which
had been screened off by sheets to
afford seclusion. The sheets which
shut tho porch off from view of the
road had been. placed in, position by
tho president and Mrs, Coolldge, aided
by two deputy sheriffs on duty here.
It appeared probable that the pres
ident nnd his callers would remain
on the porch for their conference, in
view of tho warm weather instead of
going Into the adjoining sitting room,
where Mr. Coolldge took the oath of
office as president two years ago.
Secretary Mellon nnd Mr. Smoot
planned to return to Washington later
in the day. They will be back in the
capital to take part in the negotiations
between tho American nnd Bclginn
commission which will be resumed to
morrow. Arrangements were made to have
the two commissioners go to Echo
Lake Inn at Tyson for lunch nnd it
wns thought probable that the presi
dent might accompany them there.
