number of serious and even fatal ac-
cidents on the streets of Washington

Recently the writer had occasion 10

Between the indiscreet blurting out
by Louis Loucheur that France would
never pay and the recent statement
made by NJ. de Lasteyie. the minister
of finance. with Premier Poincare's
approval. that France Intended to pay
some time. but not until Germany has
paid France, there is merely a nuance
of expression.
The report of the Parmentier mis-
sion has not stimulated France to pre-
pare any special proposal for the pay
ment of the American debt.
No such proposal Is even being dis
cussed. The only proposal France has
to make at present Is the Poincare
reparations and debt compensation
plan already outlined, and which the
Hoover speech seems formally to re-
ject
Resentment Aroused.
Recent newspaper dispatches from
Washington initmating that the Unit
ed States intends to Insist" that
| France should reduce her armament
until the American debt had been
| paid were read in Paris with IN
credulous smiles. but the reiteration
OF this threat in Secretary Hoover's
speech has been taken more seriously
| and Is arousing genuine resentment.
The American persistence In the
idea that the debt may be used as a
club to oblige France to follow Amer
lean theories regarding disarmament
and European public finance are like

ness and Misunderstanding without
accomplishing any positive results
whatever.
