Earlier in the week Secretary of State Stimson had telephoned the President-elect the contents of a British note accepting, with reservations, the invitation to confer on War Debts and related problems after March 4.

Secretary Stimson vanished to summon Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British Ambassador, tell him what had happened. On the train taking him South, the President-elect reflected with satisfaction on the Red Room conference. It was not up to him and his incoming Congress to see that, in the event the British burden of $4,398,000,000 indebtedness is eased, the U. S. would receive some compensating advantages.
