REPORTED MORATORIUM or
ALLIED LOANS OWED AMERICA
PLANNED BY FRANCE.
United States to be Informed That
Allies Are Unable TO Meet Anert-
can Loan When Duo, and Re-
newal Will be Requested.

New York; cable from special
correspondent at Paris OF New York
newspaper declares that weeks
searching inquiry has revealed the fact
That not n single member OF the French
diplomatic corps Is able to deny that
there are thorough-golng plans afoot
for a moratorium Of the allied debts
owed to the United States.
Needless to say, extreme re-
ticence Is being observed In official
quarters here toward all efforts to OBJ
tain d flat confirmation OF the plan.
Its promoters, II Is believed prefer to
launch II as u bombshell at the forth
coming interallied conference at Brus-
sells.
Alltea Unable to Pay.
The United States will only be UNI
officially represented at that con-
ference, While It is not believed that
actual reputation of the entire total
Of $10,000,000000 owed the United
States Is contemplated at present, II Is
learned from the highest sources that
the interallied economic commission
now In session Is deyising plan
under which II Is intended to urge
the Brussels conference to inform the
United States In the plaInest possible
language that the allies are unable TO
pay the American loan when 1t is
due, in October, and to request" the
Washington government 10 renew the
issue, probably for two years BY that
time, II IL hoped sufficient funds will
have been collected from Germany by
way of reparation lnstallments to set
tie the debt to America.
Passive Resistance Planned.
Should the United States again re-
fuse to listen to such proposal, 1t is
understood the allies win adopt
policy of passive resistance simply
taking their own time In repaying
whatever they owe America. In diplo-
matte circles the theory Is advanced,
however, that the United States viii
be obliged to accept the proposal be-
cause, they argue, it would not be
practicable for America to enforce
payment.

also been given to the training APP

aviatOrs the control of the airplane or
The penguin used for training is as
unable to fly as it's arctic namesake.
1t consists of an airDlane with wings
so very small that the power of the
motor is unable to lift the airplane of

with ailerOns, elevator, rudder and
wheels exceptionally strong for run

that it will take to the air. In a short
time he graduates TO real airplane

can give all his attention to the flying
part without having to worry over the
handling Of the various controls The
sense Of safety he enjoys while learn
