Paris, Jan. >.
In connection with a report reaching
here from London that Lord Chalmers
has tjeen selected by the British Treas
ury to negotiate with the United States
Government for the refunding of Great
Britain war debt in America into long
term obligations, it was stated here that
France had made no move in this drec-
ton and That there was no common
policy between the French and the Brit
ish to be inferred Gy this action in Lon
don. AS n matter OF fact, the report
caused great surprise here and partlcu-
larly in view of the expectation on the
part OF the British Government that the
negotiations can be concluded with the
present Administration in Washington.
If France asks for Nany such thing it
win be with the new Administration.
4 point which should be emphasized
in all these manGuyres is the valuable
diplomatic weapon which these loans
afford the United States at the presen,
time and which would be surrendered
If they were changed into long term
obligations. That point Is plain to every
American observer in Europe. but many

diplomatists and financ;ers in Europe to
appreciate the value of this weapon il
it is applied to such tremendous ques-

anese treaty and the general question of
American credits in Europe.

such assets as would enable the eXten-
sion of American credits to central
Europe, so that cotton. wheat and other
American commodities could be shipped
there.
1t is for that reason that the British
move is being watched with great in
terest here, and there will be genuine
surprise in Paris IL the present Admin

AS both men were in Albany awaiting

to that part of the statement which said
that all of the evidence relating to build

had been made public by the Lockwood
legislative committee had been previously
laid before him. but that he had failed to
act upon it.
"I want them to go before the Grand
Jury and give the facts on which they
base their allegations he said. These
men have made reckless statements
evidently without having taken the
trouble to ascertain whether they Were
correct. Not one per cent. of the ,evi-
dence developed before the Lockwood
Committee was ever submitted to me.

is mistaken.
why the sudden zeal? For months
District Attorney Swami has known of

least his staff does-rnore than one OF
whom has been indicted. hold the same
view of District Attorney Swami and
his inclination to Investigate crime

grand jury did which insisted on a
Special Attorney General being assigned

else may do can swerve me hair 9
