French Pledges to Pay.
Every document that has passed

In the absence of Secretary of

the debt funding commission, other
members of the commission refused

they expressed amazement at M.

France considers her war debts as

Senate d. C.. Committee
Meets for Considering
Three Important Bills

A meeting of the Senate District
committee to consider three bills of
vital Importance, introduced in the
Senate today by Chairman L. Heis-
Ter Ball probably will be held the
latter part Of this week.
The bills were ~ a bill providing
tor a five-year building program
for the public school system of the
District; ca q bill to force the mer-
ger Of the street railway systems
in the city, and CD bill creating
a Rent Commission with judicial
power.
Chairman Ball said today he is
very much pleased with" the COM
pulsory feature of the merger bill.
He said he did not know whether
the street companies would oppose
it or not, but IL they did, hearings
would be held.
IT have decided that IL we are
to get through this important Dis
trict legislation at the present short
session we must hold joint COM
mittee meetings of the Senate and
House District committees. Such
meetings already are being held
on the traffic situation in the Dis
trict."

ton policy of this Government ui,,
der three Administrations, will not
be changed, nor will the Unite!
States participate in any general
debt conference.
Jusserand's Attitude.
The surprise and resentment in
Administration circles over the
elemental report to Parliament was
further heightened by the fact that
no longer ago than last Monday M.
Jusserand, in a public speech here,
declared that France intended to
discharge her debt to the last
penny, desiring only long time
moratorium or breathing spell, and
consideration given her peculiar
position.
This pledge by Ambassador JUS
serand, it was pointed out TODAY.
hardly comedies with the statement
or the French finance minister that
there is no justification for such
brutal addition to our liabilities"
as the American and British war
debts.
Continuing. he said:
The inter.allied debts represent
an exchange of resources, and reg.
lister the movements which took
from one country to another the
funds which each in it's sphere
could supply. If we abandon the
juridicial plane and regard the
matter from the higher plane of
cooperation and fairness, strict
justice would seem to demand A
general pooling of war expenditures
and their allotment among the allied
states proportionately to the riches
Of each one. Thus only
would be realized an equality among
all in the total of sacrifices"

ing to Haxtun, Colorado where they
lived for thirty years, before their
removal to TIrlock, Calf, where
they have made their home since
1919.
