FRENCH SCHEME
TOMAKE ]. S.PAY
ALLIES WAR DEBT
Would Mean Heavy Loss for
This Country
WOULD BENEFIT FRANCE
Claim Is TO Be Brought Under League
of Nations Clause Relating
to Finance.
WOULD BENEFIT FRANCE

Paris, April 2S,-That France in
tends to press before the forthcoming
interallied conference at Brussels the
creation Of financial section of the
League of Nations. which has behind
it plan to reapportion the total war
expenses is shown in resolution re-
ported by the Finance Commission OF
the Chamber of Deputies. Such a
plan, financial experts say, would re.
suit in America surrendering the re-
payment of part Of what the Allies
borrowed from her
In addition to asking speedy action
on new taxes the resolution declares
that Germany must pay the budget
items for reparations and pensions in
conformity with the peace treaty,
"and that interallied unity should be
effected by means of the financial sec
ton of the League Of Nations, whose
constitution was provided for by the
Peace Conference April 28 last"
The resolution adopted was proposed
by Louis Klotz, Minister of Finance
in the Clemenceau Ministry and is a
development of NJ. Vincent Auriols
movement adopted when the treaty
was ratified and by Clemenceau
whereby the Government pledged itself
to reach an understanding with the
Allies and associates to secure the ap
portionment of war expenses "in such
manner that by reason of hostilities
one should not bear a greater proper
tion of the costs than another"
M. Klotz and other French delegates
have declared repeatedly that Presi
dent Wilson last April agreed to the
financial section OF the league. This
was denied by the Presidents financial
advisers here, but the President him
self never discussed the matter. Al
though disguised, the whole purpose
of this plan appears to be TO secure
the wiping out of large portion OF
the allied debt to the United States
which obviously would be required
should the total allied war cost be ap'
portioned as suggested.

at the end of twenty years or imme-
diately to his heirs in event of death.
Similarly, the veteran Of one hun
dred days would be entitled to paid
up, 20 year endowment insurance of
$464, with a cash surrender or loan
value of $137 in three years; the 200
day veteran to insurance Of 1928 with
loan value OF S275; the 300 day vet,
eran to insurance of 1882 with a
loan value of $413, and the 500 day
veteran to insurance Of S2,231 with a
loan value of $3.50.
This plan, IL adopted universally
by the world war veterans, would
cost the government far more than
the cash bonus of $125 day, com
mitteemen said. Estimating that
3,590000 ex-service persons will be
affected by the bill, committeeman
declared that the ultimate cost of
the insurance plan, if adopted by all,
would be approximately six billion
dollars. The cash bonus, it was es-
timated would cost S1,s07000,000 If
accepted by all.

teams reported enough pledges so
that the director was abe to inform
DR.. Dawson that the First Baptist

its quota. The church workers are
determined to visit every member OF
the church and congregation.
Last night the director had in his
possession pledges from l50 persons
amounting to $2724O. Two large
gifts were received from members
one amounting to $4,000 and one
amounting to $4,000. More people

APPEAL FOR ELECTRIC LINES

Atlantic City, n. j., April 2S.-.John
II. Pardee, president of the Amerl.
can association, before the conven,
tion of the United States Chamber
of Commerce he.e today, appealed to
business men of the country to help
save the electric lines frcm ruin"
THE plain TRUTH he said, lis that
their credit no longer exists and a
necessary public service is being slow
ly, perhaps, but no less surely, de-
stroyed." What the electric railways
ask, he said, is the laws, ordln
ance or agreements which now con
troll them be so readjusted as to make
the price at which their output is sole
dependent upon the cost of produc
tion, and not upon an arbitrary fixet
allowance.
Mr., Pardee urged the increased
use of electric lines for short haul
freight and passenger business.
