WAR DEBT FUNDING
WILL Be IN SECRET
Secretary Mellon Says Negotia-
tionS Will Not Be Pub
IicIy Conducted.

WaShington.-NegO by the
Treasury and State Departments for
refunding the allied debt to the United
States will be conducted in secret and
no announcements or statements will
be made public. Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon stated that proceed
ings for the refunding of this Indebted
ness, aggregating $11 600, ,0OO, 900, would
not be conducted through the news
papers.
1t was stated that responses have
been received from two governments
stating their financial status and a
basis upon which they are prepared to
begin negotiations with the funding
commission for the conversion of the
II o US" which the American govern
ment now holds into long term and
possibly convertible securities. 1t is
known, however, that these responses
were from two of the smaller govern
ments whose obligations to the United
States do not amount to very much.
Great Britain has not responded di-
rectly to the general note sent out in
able terms or basis for negotiations,
but has informed the State Depart
ment that the British government Is
prepared to go ahead on refunding ne
gotiations. 1t frequently has been
stated by the treasury that the British
loans, which are the largest, will be re-
funded first.
Secretary Mellon and other officials
concerned have no expectation of a
definite funding settlement for proba-
bly, several months. Great Britain has
announced payment will be made to
the United States of $2OO,OO0,OO0 in
interest due September Is, but this
has been carried in the budget for the
fiscal year 1928, and in effect spent,
so it will not in any measure meet the
financial burdens and the domestic re-
funding problems the treasury faces.

about Frances attitude. IL was voiced
clearly by me at the outset OF the con-
ference, and | hope our American
friends win not misinterpret Frances
position. France cannot discuss dis
armament at Genoa because 1t occupies
no place on the agenda.
THE agenda of the conference. was
definitely fixed at Cannes. which like
wise excluded questions Hike treaties and
reparatioIs. II would be pure mad
ness to deduce that France Is militaris
tic. as some of her enemies allcge. for
il any country has learned the horror
of war IL is France, which suffered from
the war more than any other nation
and which now finds her land inpover-
ished and the flower of her intellectual
manhood removed She Is burdened by
taxes higher than any victorious nation
has ever borne in history"
NJ. Barthou said the Washington con-
ference had limitation Of armaments
definitely on its agenda and that France
had explained her positior there rsla-
tive to land armamen.s. 1T is true
lie continued in his vigorous manner
that some Americans find difficulty in
comprehendirg Frances position on
artnaments., Yet it all sesms so per-
fecty clear to rs. Recently We reduced
our military service to eighteen months.
God knows we should like TO reduce 1t
now to one year or less. but the Gov
erLment of France must think of tho
vital interests OF France or it would be
disloyal TO the republic.
The United States helped us splen-
didly before she formally entered the
war. Then her gallant troops fought
heroicaly alongside the soldiers or
France--and then America left us. We
must go on alone. We must protect our
selves in order to obtain fulfillment of
the Treaty of Versailles. so vital to our
existence, and we must protect ourselves
against the Germany of the future,
which already dreams of vengeance.
AS Mr.. Lloyd George has said, the
question OF disarmament is already be-
fore the League of Nations. At the out
set of the Genoa conference he vigor-
ously stated the standpoint of France.
1t should not be deduced from his state
ment that France is opposed to disarm-
ament. which she desires more than any
~nation in the world Our present busi-
ness is to reorganize Europe. establish
bases for a durable peace and recon
struct Russia
IF the Russian delegates accept the
conditions absolutely necessary for the
future safety and prosperity of Europe
then there naturally comes at the end
O. the conference the question of grant
ing the Russian Government de jure
recognition. For the present our army
!; at the minimum compatible with the
interests of France and the interests
of all Europe. Wren the proper time
comes France will be the first to extend
still further the recent reduction in her
military force.
such is Frances position, imposed
by relentless necessity and justified by
reason and logic. And | believe the
American people will understand that
position"

SHARP DIVISION NOW
PERCEIVED AT GENOA
London Times Editor Finds
Britain and France Apart.

GENOA. April II (Associated Press) -
| Henry WiclSham Steed, editor of the
Lordon Times. says the visage of the
economic conference as partially un-
veiled at the inaugural session. is not
precisely attractive"
1T has a decided squnt.'' he says.
"One moment it Is sanctimonious and
al ether moment it wears an expression
of cunning that may be sinister or may
be equally farcical. What its chances
of long life may be no actuary can
estimate.
Unless its character changes it will
be a conference OF equivocatiou. Cannes
resolutions and nothing but Cannes re-
solutions are its accepted basis.
"Tchitcherin. who may be acting as
peacemaker for others. conceives the
conference as a step toward the parlia-
nIsrt of man. and IL was clear that the
chhling he received at the mouth OF
Lloyd George was inspired rather by
the kindlincss of a parent for way
ward child than by rigor. which alarmed
the Italians. The discrepancy between
the French and Bolshevist conceptions
OF the conference seems likely TO haunt
every commission at every public sit
ting"
Mr.. Steed says that VI. Tchitcherin. in
discussing the Cannes resolutions yester-
day. while abJuring propaganda OF any
Kind. proceeds to make propaganda on u
handsome scale
Thus he adds. there appeared on
the one hand the French standpoint
with which Belgium and the Little En-
tente proper presumably are I'm substan-
tial agreement Poland apparently has
one foot in what Tchitcherin called the
new order and the other foot In the
old. over against the French standpoint
are ranged in varying degrees OF hos
tility. but in subcutaneous agreement
among themselves. the Vatican and
Itsly--who may for political purposes
henccforth be counted as one--the Brit
ish delegation. the Bolshevists and prob
ably the Germans"

WksHINGToN, April IL. Secretary
Hughes to-day received through Ambas-
sador Harvey a note from Lord Curzon.
Bi itish Foreign Secretary. stating that
Great Britain IN any circumstances
would not desire TO question the rights
of the United States in its claims for
payment of costs OF the American Army
of Occupation in Germany. The note
expressed the hope that means for set
ticnent of the American claims would be
found "a soon as possible. and stated
n at the British were In communication
with the Governments OF France and
Belgium for the purpose OF arriving at
tie most convenient method of meeting
tae American claims.
Secretary Hughes later replied cx-
pressing his qualification for Lord Cur
zurts letter and expressing hope that re-
endorsement for costs OF the Unitcd
states army in the Rhinelend soon
would be made. Similar replies were
sent to the French and Belgian Govern
h,ents for their notes Of like character.

ment be considered as an nnti-league
Administration. Most powerful in
fiuences in the Administration are for
entering the league"
Senator Borah continued that the
election of 1920 constituted a popular
rejection OF the league. but that that
principle has already been surren-
dered." Ratification of the German
treaty. Mr.. Borah said, constituted ac-
ceptance of obnoxious features OF the
Versailles treaty and the proposed
resolution to join the Preparations
Commission would be infinitely worse.
'When we become a fneipber OF the
Preparations Commission we will have
entagied ourselves with every con-
ceivable political question which can
arise in Europe for the next forty
years." said Senator Borah.
"rhe third step will be to become
a member of the council and the as
sembly at Geneva and 1T will follow, in
my judgment. as inevitably as the
night follows the day. do not find
fault with men who are for the league
and say il and are lighting for it,
therefore it is in no spirit OF criticism,
but We know that the Secretary OF
State. the most influential member OF
the Cabinet by reason Of his position,
Is an open and avowed leaguist and
always has BEEN"
Senator Borth referred to the Re-
publican declaration of 1920 which
Secretary Hughes had signed in sup
port of his contention.
Hoover Also Pro-LcaEue.
Mr. Borah added: "There are enough
Republicans who have distinctly an
rounced for the lcagir.. Mr.. Hughes
has not left his por.sron in doubt. Mr..
Hoover was a--orher gentleman who
signed the declaration of 1920 and is
very active, influential and powerful
member of the Cabinet. Mr.. Hoover
makes no concealment at all of the
fact we are going into the league and
ought to be in it now; that things
will not go as they should so until
we are in.
II say 1t is not party issue. 1t is
a question of individuals; upon. that
the question will have to be fought
out and the Senator from Illinois can
make the issue clear, distinct and pro-
nounced within his own party"
Senator Ashurst (Dem., Ariz) said
the Cox views on the league were well
known. but he could not understand
how Senator Mccormick could issue
his challenge about the league after
having voted recently far the most
vicious alliance possible-the four
