REFUNDING BILL
BLOW TO FRANCE
French Papers Peeved At Act
Which Passed Senate-Says 1t
Will Ruin Them To Pay

Paris. Feb. 7.-Passage of the all. ed
debt refunding bill by the Americ IN
congress is regarded by most OF the
French press as n severe blow 20
France. The newspapers today gen.
orally attribute what they call the
harshness of the American attitude to
successful German propaganda.
1t is pointed out in various edi-
torials that France must now pay the
United States annually $500. 100000
paper francs in interes.. while the
maximum cash she can reasonably
expect from Germany will be SO per
cent or 7OO,O0O,O0O god marvs, the
amount fixed at the recent supreme
council meeting at Canness-or about
l, 100000, 900 paper francs.
The interes. and amortization in
25 years Of Frances debt to the
United States, the editorials claim,
will absorb not only all her cash re-
parations payments but the greater
part of the values of deliveries in
kind by Germany. Hence they say
France will be unable to count upon
anything during rs years for the re-
storation of her devastoted regions.
The work Of reconstruction, It is said,
will have to be discontinued or France
must continue interior loans and in
crease the interest charge for that
purpose.
