FRENCH WITHHOLD
DEBT OFFER T0U. S.
Have Given No Assurances
of Any Intent to Meet
Obligations.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Although the French foreign office
told American newspaper men sew
eral days ago that a proposal to pay
the United States the war debt of
approximately three and half bill
lion dollars by payments extending
over 140 years at 2 per cent interest
was being considered. no such offer
has been made to the United States
government
While the offer on its face con-
fiicts with the provisions of the ex-
listing law. whereby Congress en-
powered the world war funding COM
mission to make arrangements for
payments extending NOT over twenty
five years, the French suggestion has
attracted considerable interest here
largely because it is the first time
the French have presented anything
concrete.
There is some doubt expressed here
in we'll informed quarters that France
will ever make the proposal officially
to the United States government. The
disposition of those who have followed
French policy closely is to believe that
the French offer was made for news
paper consumption and in recognition
only of the rising tide of sentiment in
the United States with respect to the
French attitude toward the American
debt.
Have Made No Pledges.
The French have been criticized for
declining to discuss their Indebtedness
to America. The fact OF the matter
is that the French have never acknowl-
edged their obligation to pay the
United States in explicit negotiations
with the American government. Some
newspaper statements have appeared
stating that the French, of course, would
some day pay their debts and had no
idea of repudiating them, but the truth
is there is nothing official on record to
show that the French government
means to pay the debt
No provision has been made in any
French budget. since the war for in
terest or sinking fund on the Amer
lean debt. Meanwhile the French
have loaned money to some of the
smaller countries in Europe and have
insisted that Germany pay to the full
amount of her reparations
Congress is going to discuss the
French attitude extensively. The
executive branch of the governm ent
and the world war funding commits
sion is not pressing France. On the
contrary, no move is being made in
that direction, though Senators Smoot
and Rorah have indicated that the
United States should make it clear
to France that American public opin-
ion does not favor cancellation OF
, reputation of the debt.
People Must Be Paid.
The funding commission has in
dirofad fn the French ui11ip
ness to forego the interest accumu !
lated to date on the French debt
and make a new deal, but even this
did not meet with any response from
the French. The money loaned to
, France during the war was raised
from the American people. who havo

DOUBTS MELLON TAX PLAN
Representative Garner Sees Rela-
lively Few Benefited by Proposal.

Only relatively few individuals
throughout the United States-525,00
persons would be afforded surtaX
relief under Secretary Melons plan
Representative John Garner of Texas,
minority leader on the ways and
means committee. said in a statement
last night He urged, however. that
most of tn administrative features
proposed as amendments in the Mel
lon plan and several others which
Were not included should have early
and favorable consideration.
Congress could repeal the entire
income taxes of the 6,136,000 with in
comes of $4,000 or less" Representa-
tive Garner advised. This would in
volve a loss of only Ss2, 100000, there
by leaving the $4,000 large income
surtax payers as the chief beneficiar
les of the plan
Says Statements Mislead.
"I am astonished." said Mr.. Garner.
"at the amount of false or misleading
information that is being so syste
matically fed out to the American
people to the effect that great and
Wholesale tax reduction would result
to the people, generally. under the
Mellon plan. Such propaganda is
fraud on the country.
There is no probable opposition TO
the removal of such taxes as those on
telegrams and admissions to theaters.
i am willing even to magnify the Mel
lon proposals to any ordinary extent
and anxious to aid in securing the full
est measure of equitable income tax re-
duction, but l cannot justify a policy
that would limit relief to the America
people measurably to Mr.. Melons 525.-
do large income surtax payers, thereby
ignoring, If not by implication exclud-
ing, each and all of the other methods
of wholesale relief which have pointed
out.
Democratic View Suggested.
1T is my individual judgment thht
most democrats in Congress will favor
going further than the Mellon plan. aS
it relates to the smaller income tax
payers up to incomes of $4,000 to
S20. 900, and that they will be disposed
to make thorough and impartial inves-
tjgation to ascertain and adopt scien-
tific and equitable scale of higher sur
tax rates based on the doctrine Of abil-
ity to pay. Democrats are equally in
terested in speedily improving the ad
ministrative side of our income tax sit
uation so as to permanently remove the
present great inconvenience, complicl-
tions, delay, expense and consequent
irritation to the taxpayers"
