In a Lancaster House session that stretched into the early morning hours, the Big Five Foreign Ministers failed to resolve Balkan peace treaty issues. The main obstacle remains Russia’s demand to exclude France and China from discussions, while the United States Great Britain and others resist broad compromises. The conference appears to drift toward indefinite delay with no unified plan.

Elliott Loan Report Stirs Party Battle
Democratic and Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee clash over Franklin D Roosevelt era financing. Democrats defend a $196000 deduction on a $700000 loan to Hartford arguing it was a bad debt and tax deductible. Republicans claim presidential influence in the loan and demand accountability, citing a 1942 settlement and a 1943 telephoned intervention. The report notes no immediate House action and references a long internal inquiry.
