C., MONDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 12, 1933 New Move at London Has Not Hitherto Been Broached in Formal Note to Washington AMBASS ADOiTNAMED IDEA TO PRESIDENT Contents of Note Going For ward From London To night Based on Information Gained by Sir Ronald Lindsay; $75,950,000 Is Due Here Next Thursday London, June 12 —(AP) — Great Britain is making a new move to night, reported in government circles to involve a proposal of a small “token” payment to the United States toward the Thursday installment to bring the war debts discussion to a crisis. The move follows the surprising de claration of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald at the opening of the world economic conference this after noon that the war debts problem “must be settled once and for all, and without delay.” An installment totalling $75,950,000 falls due Thursday. Hitherto the "token” payment idea has not been broached in a formal note to Washington, official quarters in White Hall affirmed, but it was understood that Ambassdor Sir Ronald Lindsay mentioned it in the course of his discussions with the White House. The contents of a British note, whlich is being dispatched tonight, will be based upon information re>- ceived from the ambassador as to its probable reception. A “token” payment by the British of the debts due the United States would involve the transefr of an amount less than the installment fall ing due. It would be tantamount to acklowledging that the payment was due and that Britain recognized the validity of the American claim. They have been suggestions that various amounts in silver be transferred from the London government to Washing ton as a “token” payment. Sumter Plant Is Surrounded With Armed Picketers Sumter, S.
