The British House of Commons may debate the December 15 war debt payment to the United States next Tuesday while London and Washington negotiate a method for payment. Washington rejected delaying the debt, signaling no actual gold shipment but earmarking vault gold to an American bank which would pass on its own gold to Washington. The U S note to France stressed cooperation on the broader economic situation and urged prompt payment, while France showed cautious approval of the stance and warned public opinion favors quick remittance.
