Lead ers of Both Parties In Con fess To Confer With Presi dent On Pressing Problem. QA Wednekjay, before Thanksgiving By Alht*rt T Local Pastor Returned Here Washington, Nov. 22.—To a, sugges tion that the war debits commission be rwstablished to conduct a, fresh ex amination of the deH prohlehf, Gover nor Roosevelt today replied that the subject was one for the present con gress to consider if Mr. Hoover should recommend it. The exchange took place at the now historic' meeting between President Hoover and the .president-elect before a crackling log fire in the austere red room of the White House. The New York governor, it was said b'v one in a position to know what hap- peWd, declined to make any commit ments, and for the most part made his roX in the cdnference that of a listener. Mr. Rdb^\?velt’8 position was out lined as unhanged from the attitude he expressedHn an.swering Mr. Hoov er’s invitalioinX to the conference — that any immedi^e action on the war debts was the res^)nsibility of those ntvw in executive or^gislative control of the government President Hoover a ^ar ago pro posed to con^reSf that tlW debt com mission be reestablished. Subh a storm of protest was raised among legis- laitors—arising in some ca.-es fi\m ad ministration spokesmen—that the\pro- posal never was brought to a specific vote. Meanwhile, the great powers of the old world, anxious to postpone pay ments of $124,934,421 due less; than a month hence, waited eagerly to hear ~lM’res^g6ffhywordB‘pyghaTiged-'trps- neath the glitteVing chandeliers of the White House’s famous red room. All that was announced officially of what passed between the present and future heads of the government was summed up in a 40-word statement saying the situation had been thor oughly canvassed, progress made and -that~*Mvv Ht»ov«*.--iKuuld , work on the debt problem tomorrow' with ^eaderS “ of both parties in congress.

The leaders of his party in the national legislature were called together for a parley tonight, after the president elect had attended a dinner given in hLs honor by the national press club. Responding to Mr. Hoover’s invita tion, Governor Roosevelt arrived in the city in* late afternoon, entered a waiting White House automobile and was driven at once to the White House, .\long historic Pennsylvania avenue, over which he will pass en route to his inauguration in March, clusters of people waited and cheered. Mr. Hoover waited in the red room, ~wWSecffeUry -Erwin Hoovor, for many years chief usher at the White Houie, escorted the president elect to the conference room and an nounced simply: “The governor of New York.” “Mr. President,” exclaimed Roose velt.
