Louis bingham de Forest, historian
Of the New York Society of Mayfiower

been extremely prolific, while others

Redistribution of
War Debts Urged

Paris, Dec. 27.-(By A. P.)-
Frances war debt to America and
Great Britain, amounting close to
81 ,O00, 100000 gold francs, are absent
from the liabilities of the French
treasury as shown in balance sheet
issued by tho French ministry of
finance today.
The amounts due France from
other countries, including Russia,
for war and postwar advances,
amounting to about 1900, 000 00O
gold francs, are also not included in
the assets. The inventory was is
sued "for non-party purposes" with
view to creating confidence by a
clean breast of the facts, as the
document says.
On the other hand. 103, 000, 900 pa
per francs. as the capitalization of
the French share in the Dawes plan
annuities. are included in the as
sets.
Although the figures are omitted
from the balance sheet, inter-allied
debts are freely discussed through
out several pages Of the inventory,
Finance Minister Clementel renew
ing the French thesis that these
debts form Part of the general al
lied resources pooled in wartime.
He argues that a strict equity would
seem to demand d general addition
of war expenses and their distribu-
ton among the allies in proportion
to the wealth OF each, without TAX
ing into account special undertake
ings imposed by momentary neces-
sites.
The finance minister insists that
France, therefore, Is entitled to
special treatment. He remarks in
the inventory that the choice of
French soil as battlefield saved
the allies much blood and money. He
also AYERS that America and Great
Britain pocketed duties on profits
made by American and British firms
which fulfilled French wartime or
ders He suggests that the amount
of these duties should be deducted
from the French debt.

ment by declaring that France has
no intention of regulating her debts
but that she In convinced an appeal
to conscience and the sentiments Of
justice OF the allies will not be In
vain.
