Mr. Smoot had not received Mr. Kahn's letter today and .said he, himself, would not coin men t opon it until he had received it ttnd stud ied the propositions set forth. Oth er members of th commission, however, were quick to declare that the commission could do nothing toward differentiation in the debt, ns suggested by the hanker. The commission, they pointed out, was permitted to do only, three things with "the debts allow tho postpone ment of payment of principal for not longer than 20 years, to fix the rate of interest at not less than 4"i percent and to authorize funding ol the interest along with the principal for not longer than 25 years.
