When France Was Creditor
TO the Editor Of Tribune.

To the Editor Of Tribune.
Sir: 1t has becorne habit whenever
france d'sssrees on matters interna-
tioral to remind her Of her indebted
ness &c America This reminder comes
from men in al welks Of life. Mayor
ayan Is the latest person Of prom
insnce who complains OF the seeming
Indifference OF the Allies IN the matter
OF settling what they legitimately owe.
The Mayor does not mention specially
France, but he refers to some twentv
european nations" from which the
4 United States government is asked to
B collect.
What was the attitude Of France
wnen the shoe was on the other foot
that IS, when France was the creditor
Hst'on and America the debtor nation Z?
The contract for the payment OF
moneys owed by the United States to
france was made in July, 1882, and
ratified by tie Continental Congress- in
January. 1888.
Article | OF tae contract shows that
IT l77e frsnce loaned America 5000 900
livres; in 1T7s 100000 livres; in 1850
100000 livres; in 1871 1000 ,O00 livres.
m 1882 100000 livres; making a total
Of ls,o00,oo0 livres, payable the first OF
January, 1888, with interest at ner
cent per annum.
Let Us now see how Francs enforced
this contract by reading Article II of
the same document:
considering that the payment Of
80 large capital at the simulated
period, the 1st OF January. 17ss msv

gress Of the United States, and it NAV.
perhsps, be impracticable on that foot
ing, his majesty has been pleased for
shat reason to recede In that respect
from the tenor Of the receipts which
the Minister of Congress has given
Tor the l8 million lvres mentioned IN
the foregoing article and has con
sented that the payment OF the capital
IN ready money at the royal treasury
be in II equal payments of 500 ,00c
livres each and in twelve years only
10 commence from the 5rd year after
peace"
The sentiment which animated France
In the following Article III is so elo-
qucnt that no comments are necessary.
Although the receipts OF the Min
lister OF Congress OF the U. S. apecify
tnst the 10 million livres ABOVE n.en-
toned are 90 be paid at the royal
treasury with interest at per cent

Mortgage Investments

To the Editor Of The Tribune,
Sir: In a recent issue of The Tribune

accuracy that they are not open to

this class OF investment has been
yielding year in and year out about
20 per cent higher income returns
than the investments on bonds and
other securities. The fact that al
most 40 per cent Of the entire assets
Of the savings banks OF the state
are thus invested should be conclu-

I cannot believe that it Is the desire
Of Mr. Untermycr or the committee to
