President-elect Roosevelt will di-
cuss Europe’* war debt.
They meet at Mr. Hoover’s re-
quest. He seeks the advice of the
min who is to take over the presi-
dency soon, before making a de-
cision the consequences of which
will carry over into the next ad-
ministration.
The possibility of reviving the
war debt commission end recon-1

or to pay was indicated.

Only two other men were asked
to be present, expert advisors. Mr.
Hoover asked Secretary of Trea-
sury Ogden Mills to sit at his el-
bow. Governor Roosevelt asketl to
have present Prof. Raymond
Moley, Columbia university eco-
nomist.
The immediate problem con-
fronting the two men is whether
to insist DV'.t Europe pay its De-
cember 15 war debt installment, of
$125,000,000. Mr. Hoover also de-
sired to discuss the proposed world
economic conference with his suc-
cessor. Arrangements for this
conference are being m .de now. It
was thought Mr. Hoover wished
to defer to Governor Roosevelt’s
wishes in recommendations as to
the date, place and agenda. .
Great Britain, France, Belgium 1

formal requests that debt
ments be postponed pending gen- j vjse(j
