WASHINGTON READY
TO DISCUSS WAR
DEBTS WITH FRANCE
Answer Premier POinCare S
Note In Regard to French
COMMISSION.

PARIS, June 6.-(By A. P)-
Notification from washington that
the United States government was
ready TO discuss the settlement OF
war debts was presented to the for
eign office Tuesday by Sheldon
Whitehouse, counsellor Of the Amer
lean embassy. Though fixing no date
this notification is understood in Of
fetal circles as a reply 20 Premier
Poincare's note TO the debt commits
sion informing 1t that a French mis-
sion headed by Jean v, Parmentier
had been appointed ard was ready
to proceed 10 the United States
whenever the commission deemed it
advisable.
NJ. Parmentier is only awaiting
the word from Premier Poincare, 1t
was explained at the ministry Of
finance this afternoon
The payment of separations and
the payment Of war debts are close
ly allied in the French viewpoint
and it is held that NJ. Poincare in
opposing any reduction of the total
due from Germany is really protect
ing the interests of the creditors OF
France. whose capacity for pay
ment is affected 10y any reduction or
postponements Of payment by Ger
many. Consequently. Il Is thought
that final instructions 20 NJ Parnem-
tier may be modified by way action
Of the reparations commission We'd
nesday.
The secret Of Tuesdays delibera-
tons Of the commission is closely
guarded; the delegates are dumb as
to what action they are likely to
take at the official meeting in the
morning. 1t is forecast in we'll in
formed quarters, however. that the
French attitude viii be sustained as
far as II concerns the reduction OF
Germany's reparations debts.
There is much speculation as 70
whether this will end the mission o.
the international loan and that the
bankers committee may still find
it possib bic TO float "A billion dollars.

GEDDES CLAIMS
MARINE SPEECH
REPORTS WRONG
British Ambassador Presents
Copy of Statements to
Sec'y Hughes.
TALK WAS UNPREPARED
Takes Action in Reply to Wat
sons Attack in Senate
Monday.

WASHINGTON June 6.-(By A
P.)-Sir Auckland Geddes, British
ambassador feels his recent public
reference 10 the American merchant
marine and other matters referred
10 by Sen Watson o. Indiana in his
tariff speech Monday was erroneous
~ described and has shown TO sec'y
Hughes a stenographic copy of his
address in Chicago.
The ambassador delivered his
speech March u. giving some figures
20 show the extent Of the trade of
the United States with Great Britain
He suggested the resumption OF this
foreign trade and the prosperity that
comes from il are largely depende
upon the capacity OF the British en-
pire 10 buy your goods and to pay
for them with dollars in America"
The reference to the merchant
marine. according TO the stenogra-
phic report, follows:
Another large part Of the British
purchases IN this country was paid
for through credits established on
account of services rendered by the
British mercantile marine by British
insurance companies and in other
less important ways. There is a
great change, again as a result OF
the war. now taking place in con-
nection with the rendering of those
services. You. in your interests, are
building up a great merchant ma
rine. II is OF course your right 10
do so: but let Us remember that
when it comes TO the question OF the
balance of trade between the coun-
tries that means thE there will be
diminished credits-dollar credits
for the British to purchase your
goods within this country"
Address Unpreparcd.
re spoke without notes or a pre-
pared address. but the stenographic
report was made and published in
the Credit Monthly"
Sen. Watson is quoted In the Con-
gressional Record Tuesday as saying:
we must not have an American
merchant marine on this side. Who
said so? The British ambassador.
I'VE must use British ships we must
employ the British merchant marine
20 do our carrying This mighty ma
4out situated ~ tt Is between lho
two imperial seas of the world, ought
10 have the carrying trade Of the
earth and their American commerce
IN American ships. built by American
laboring men, investing American
capital and nying the American lag.
Is not that the right policy for the
United States2 oh. but our friend
from abroad says no; we must use
British ships: we must not have an
American merchant marine. or they
viii not trade with us"
The ambassador felt the difference
between his own remarks and as
they were stated by Sen. Watson was
sufficient 10 Justify him in drawing
the matter TO the attention Of the
secretary Of state.
