Harding Expects Debt Settlement Plan to Win Congress
Washington February expects President Harding to submit the British debt settlement to Congress likely in person at a joint session in the House chamber. The debt commission drafted a report and will present a form of legislation either general approval of the settlement or formal approval of the British agreement. Administration officials and Republican leaders foresee favorable action before March 4 though some Democrats oppose the lower interest rates. Details of negotiations have been withheld, with observers noting the liberal terms may quell earlier opposition once fully disclosed.
