J Offensive Campaign.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FREDERICKSBURG Va, October
S.-Bond- Issue advocates throughout
the state, have definitely assumed the
offensive in the fight to be decided
November 6.
The latest publicity given out by
the bond issue advocates is letter
written by ex-Gov. Harry c. Stuart,
now chairman of the "Pay-As- You
Go" Association, to Gov. Trinkle, un-
der date of February 2S, 1922, in
which the former governor strongly
Endorsed the bond issue under dis
cussion by the general assembly.
The letter follows:
Dear Governor: Referring to q
recent conversation between US rela-
tive to road legislation, and more
especially to your definite recon-
mendation to the general assembly
for limited and properly guarded
bond issue for roads, ] feel that 1
may take the liberty Of expressing
my full, even if unsolicited. concur
renee In this view that bonds so is-
sued in such an amount as that the
annual interest thereon, together with
properly adjusted sinking fund.
would not exceed in the aggregate the
levies for such purpose, together
with the amount to be reasonably
expected from the proposed gasoline
tax, while not increasing the present
tax burden, would capitalize these tax
items in a fund Immediately avail
able for much needed road construc-
tion and maintenance. 1 unhesitat-
ingly subscribe to the policy of road
bonds to the extent / have indicated.
beliving that it is safe, sound and
business-like under present condi-
tions."
Tor Immediate Fund.
The bond issue forces call attention
to the fact that they are now propos-
ing to do exactly what ex-Gov. Stuart
suggested, to-wit: Capitalize existing
road tax items and raise an imme-
diately available fund for the COM
pletion OF the state highway system
and for the construction of s10,o0O,0oo
of feeder roads connecting with the
system. At the time Gov. Stuart wrote
the letter set out above to Gov. Trim
kle the latter was then urging bond
issue. Since that time both men have
switched their positions.

WAR DEBT ISSUE
Comment on CooIidge's Dec
Iaration That Bills Must Be
Paid, Is Withheld.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, October s.-The French gov
ernment has no comment on the re-
ported declaration by President Cool
idge to the effect that the allied
war debt to the United States must
be paid, it was said at the DUAL dor
say this morning.
Neither could comment be obtained
on David Lloyd Georges letter to
President Wilson in 1920. which was
published in the French press this
morning, in which the former British
premier pointed out that If reduc-
tions were made in Germany's repa-
ration obligations, proportionate
reductions should be made In the
interallied war debts.
The declaration that President Cool
idge was "unalterably opposed to the
cancellation by the United States Of
the debt owed 1t by the European
countries" emanated from the White
House last Friday. The debt Dues
tions, 1t was said, were in the hands
of the funding commission created
by Congress. and the Presidents posi-
tion was that the government could
only make settlements within the
terms Of the act creating the COM
mission. He felt, however. that the
United States should not unduly press
any of it's debtors and should be
liberal In the settlements 1t makes.
