Is French Debt to Lie Dormant?

The other unpleasant incident is the speech delivered
by M Poincare in the French Chamber in the Of
which he dealt casually with the subject of nteraied
ndehtness The French Prime Minister then announced
categorcay that France had intention Of paying
from Germany. What does that in effect? That
the France represented by NJ Poincar no intention

German reparatOns is taken into account thirty years
is moderate estimate of the period required for its
liquidation Is the French debt to lie dormant carrying

They constitute offer on the part Of Britain to

offered to include the claim of the country
against Germany in this concession What does
that reference to present condionsi That If the
allies and Germany between them found the 100000
pounds a year which Britain has undertaken to paw
America she would forego her claim the $780, 100000

great offer and if accepted would have produced re-

and the resolving section provides
that the President shall call on the
governments Of the six countries in
which the opium poppy and coca
plant are grown to limit production
to the actual quantities required for
strictly medicinal and scientific pur-
poses. It is declared:
1T is the imperative duty Of the
United States Government to safe
ravages Of habit-forYning narcotic
drugs, and that effective control
of these drugs can be obtained only
by limiting the production thereof
to the quantity required for strict
ly medicinal and scientific pur-
poses, thus eradicating the source
or root Of the present conditions.

many times greater than is neces-
sary for such purposes"
The President is further request
ed to report back to Congress next
December the result Of his de-
mand upon the offending govern
ments to stop drugging the Ameri-
can people.
The purpose of the resolution
has been endorsed unquaIifiedly by

tary Of Labor Davis, Assistant At

the Department Of Justice, the
narcotic division of the Treasury,
Federal and State prison authori:

convention in 1912. He wrote Chair
man Porter that he readily recognized
the Importance Of the resolution and
added:
"You are right in your conclusion
that the practicable method is to
limit production. wish you God
speed in your efforts"
Sentiment among members Of the
committee, after voting to report
out the resolution. was aptly summed
up by Representative Fairchild Of
New York. He said:
Immediate action along the line
OF this resolution is imperative. The
habit-forming drug menace is
spreading over the United States
and the rest Of the world at an
alarming rate. Dope is eating at

only means Of combating the evil
is through limitation Of the source
