LONDON, May 7.-Great Britain
will dispatch note to Germany WITH

PARIS. May 7.-Curiosity rather
than anxiety is felt here regarding
the possible sequences of the latest
Franco British incident.
The facts seem to be as follows:
Last Friday, as France and Belgium
were preparing to present their re-
ply to the German reparations note.
Lord Curzon, the British foreign min
lister, unexpectedly represented to
both Paris and Brussels the desirable
ity from the British point of view of
all the allies replying in common.
Felt Offer IA Basis.
In the negotiations which followed
it appeared that Great Britain agreed
that the German proposal was made
urate both regarding the total repara-
tions and the guarantees offered but,
nevertheless, Great Britain considered
4 POSSIBLE starting point for further
conversations. Great Britain was will
ing that to the common reply France
and Belgium should add anneXeS giving
their particular points of view regard
ing the Ruhr occupation. AS the es-
sence of the Franco-Belgian position
is that these powers will withdraw from
the Ruhr area only in proportion as
Germany pays on the basis of existing
agreements and will refuse all discus
sion so long as Germany continues her
resistance in the Ruhr, France and Bel

1t is fully understood here that the

solid front of the allies. but the truth
is that the French are unable to see
any advantage in trying to form such
a front unless Great Britain will
agree to do so on the basis of associ-
ating itself in some way with the
Ruhr occupation policy.
Privately the French regard the
British proposals as an effort by Great

The United States does not intend
to be placed in the position of hold
ing the bag"
This in brief is the first reaction or
members of Congress in Washington
to the suggestion. contained in the
note of the French premier, NJ Poin-
care. replying to the German repara-
tions proposal, and to the more spe-
cific press dispatches from Paris stat
ing that a Franco-Belgian plan looks
to reduction of the German repara-
tions. provided the United states IS
willing to cancel debts-or rather to
look to Germany for the payment OF
{he debts of France and Belgium to
this country.
VIII Not Cancel.
Senator Smoot of Utah, republican
member of the United States Worlo
War Foreign Debt Commission and
rrospective chairman of the Senate
finance committee in the next Con-
gress. when his attention was called
to these suggestions today, sald:
I'VE are not going to cancel any
of the foreign debts, and we are not
going to be collector for any other
nation. We will deal with each ma
tion individually that owes us money.
At the State Department it was said
today that the text Of the French
premier's note to Germany had been
received. No comment, however, was
made upon its contents.
Proposal 'Impudent.''
In some official quarters the sugges-
ton that the United States should
agree to take over the collection OF
those German reparations in excess
of the amount which France and Bel
gium and other allied nations might
insist upon being paid to them direct
as an offset Of the debts of those ua-
tions to the United States. was de-
clared to be little short of "impudent."
The suggestion now emanating from
France is in line. it is said. with that
advanced by Earl Balfour in a note
last August on the interallied debts,
when he discussed a general cancel
lation of interallied debts, depending
largely upon the Willingness of the
United States to cancel the debts of
Great Britain to this country.
At the time of the Balfour note.
spokesmen for the administration
declared that there was no intention
on the part of the United States to
cancel the foreign debts. Secretary
Mellon of the Treasury Department
stated officially that there would be
no change in the policy of this gov
ernment in regard to the collection Of
the foreign debts.

Is Not Afraid Of O'MaIley

SEATTLE, Mar. 13-Delegate Sutherland arrived here yesterday on his way to Alaska where, he de clares, he will continue his fight against the granting of exclusive fishing rights Ito the bitter end" The delegate reiterated his former statements to the effect that the bureau of fisheries, through it's new regulations, had virtually turned the salmon industry over to the fish trust.
 The delegate will sail for the North tomorrow, headed for Juneau, where, he says, he will marshal the forces in Alaska opposed to the action of the bureau and will carry the fight from Ketchikan to Nome The peoples right to fish in Alaska has been abrogated That right is just as sacred to the people of the Territory as any other constitutional right. The ruling means that the future generations of Alaska will have no right to the fisheries of the Territory. All competi:. Jn is virtually destroyed"

MoNDELL SAYS GOVERNMENT
 SAVED MONEY LAST YEAR

WASHINGTON, D C., Mar. 13- A law and half a day during the SPA days the lawmakers were in session was the record of the Sixty Seventh Congress, according 10 a statement made yesterday by Frank Mondell, retiring Republican leader of the house of representatives and a staunch supporter of the admin istration. He has had the statement inserted in the Congressional Re cord.
 One hundred and forty-four bills of various kinds which were passed by the house, failed to pass the senate, and Mondell declares that Lit might be in order in the house to discuss the rules or lack of rules in the senate under which it is possible for 8 minority to prevent acton on highly important legisla- ton which has received the approv- al of the house."
 The statement says under the Fordney tariff law both imports and exports have increased and, "as a result of good business management the country's gross debt has been reduced from s26,5s4,267,878 on August 31. 1919, to s22,716,93S,- 730 on February 28, 1923. "In three years we have reduced the na- tional debt as much as it was re- duced between the close of the Civil War and the beginning of the World War. The nation, during the last fiscal year, met all expenditures from it's revenues and had balance of nearly three hundred million dol lars"

NEW FAIRBANKS PAPER t.. ENTERS WEEKLY FIELD

The Fairbanks Alaskan, newest paper in Alaska, made its initial appearance in Fairbanks on Sunday, having entered the newspaper field of the upper town as a weekly, four columns in size at present, but with an ambition to grow as rap idly as conditions will permit. The publisher of the new paper is James Feaster, we'll known and highly res pected resident of Fairbanks, whose name appears at the masthead as editor, and his first effort in that capacity is commendable. He has high ideals and a sincere desire to be of service to the community about him.
