The pnlted States Government has not kssumed the role of prodding reditors. No formal note has been sent as a circular to the powers or as a written demand to Individual governments which owe America money.

The department of state-stmply acting in pursuance of authority granted at the last meeting of the biYIB debt funding ommtsslon before Congress ad- ourned has from time to time ln- lcated to the various governments desire to have parleys consummated or negotiations begun. In nut-shell. Secretary Kellogg has herely kept the subject before the arious foreign offices. errlck Meets aillaux The only thing new really Is the mmary given to the press of the forts made to secure funding ar- ngements on war debts and also official confirmation of the con- rsations between Ambassador errlck and Finance Minister Cail- ux begun a week ago and fully ported In Paris and Washington spatches at the time. The semi-official statements ls- led at Paris in the last 24 hours hat no note had been received lere are correct.

The truth is the merican government Is not using same means of communication every case. At Paris, the whole atter has been handled, inform-ly in the talks which Ambassador errlck has had by Instruction of American government and r9 is reason to believe the jnqfti minister of flnaVice asked to tret detailed In ductions for a general discussion the debt situation. lunlt Opportune I omen JJbere has been no meeting of k7orld War debt funding com- since Congress adjourned. he Secretary of State has had for me time general powers of nego ttlon and it has been left to his Lscretlon to determine the oppor- ne moment for reviving the sub with each country owing to nerica. In the case of France, the United lates held off for a long time be use of the cabinet crisis and len now has made no demand but simply indicated a desire to see letblng done.

The significant thing is that the ministration here has let it be own that all countries which are lebted to America are being htod to keep the subject under Instant consideration till a way Is md to settle. In other words lance is not alone. The Amerl government, moreover, in pur Ing the subject with Italy.
