STAND ON DEBTS.
Tardieu, Negotiator of Loan
From U. S., Discusses Hur-
ley Payment Plan.
BY ANDRE TARDIEC.

BY Radio to The Star.
PARIS. September 25.-lt is too
early to predict the attitude govern
ments will take toward the Franco
American debt settlement proposed
by Edward N Hurley to Secretary
Mellon. There are reasons to sup
pose that the Washington Govern
ment will take no definite stand until
after the election, but it is good
thing that men like Mr.. Hurley, who
took an important part in the man
agement of the war, should state
their views clearly. and since the
writer as high commissioner at
tiated these loans, his testimony may
be useful in the debate opened by
Mr.. Hurley. Here it is.
Let it be understood at the out
set that those who placed Frances
signature to these documents never
thought for moment the validity
OF it would ever be questioned.
When France makes an engagement
she keeps it. But what is this en-
Eagement as it is today? That is
She whole question.
The financial aid furnished by the
United States Treasury TO France
and England was of capital import
ance. Since January. 1917. France has
been unable to borrow at American
banks and without treasury advances
both England and France would have
been unable in the Summer of 1917
10 keep up food supplies and arma-
ments. But also these advances from
the American viewpoint were abso-
lutely essential to victory. For the
United States had declared war in
April, 1917, without being ready to
wage it. and SO it was imperative
that Great Britain and France should
be enabled to hold on until 1918
That is why credits were voted
under the name of advances for the
conduct of the war and that is also
why all agreed to stipulate nothing
concerning the manner of repayment
At the peace conference it was the
United States which demanded for
mally that the question of war debts
be not raised. and of course the
debtors could only bow to the wishes
OF the creditors. Moreoyer it was
evident then that the baSYs on which
Germany'S debt to the Allies had been
fixed enabled the debtors easily to
acquit the sums owed to the United
States. Taking only France. she was
to receive about 100, 600. 600. 900 gold
marks. and so she could easily pay
about 1900, 900, 900 gold marks to the
United States.
The debt question became acute
Evening star., 1924-09-25

only when the successive Millerand,
BRAND and Poincare governments
agreed to successive diminutionS of
Germany's payments without ever
raising frankly the question Of war
debts. Although the United States
not being a party to the treaties was
not called on to ratify these reduc
tions, it would have been wise to
advise Washington officially Of them
and to ask if Washington approved
and, if SO, to inquire what connec-
tion Washington saw between reduc-
ton of the German payment and the
settlement of war debts.
But no French government was
frank enough to do this and there
fore the debt question gradually
crystallized, making it more and
more difficult to reach that settle
ment which circumstances justify. 1t
might be added that by applying pro-
tectionist principles to the recon
struction of Frances ruins and by
refusing to use the credits which the
United States promised the writer in
October. 1917, for such reconstruction,
the French government further
aggravated this situation. And SO
today we are far from that state of
mind in which the loans were nego-
tiated
The Hurley plan. though it cannot
be discussed in detail until the text
is published. has the merit of seek
ing to render the question more fiex-
ible and by offering tive-year
moratorium, shows the connection be-
tween this scheme and the Dawes
plan. Its schedule OF payments offers
a useful basis of discussion as far as
that side is concerned. France is
promised = conference on the whole
debt dues N and 1t Is hoped that
France will ONE with a constructive
nlan of her vn. The French people
have had enough of policy of mega
tion and silence adopted by their
previous cabinet.

lHREE things have been done in
recent years to make linoleum a
superior floor suitable for any room
In the house:
First, better way Of laying linoleum-
eementing-which insures an unbroken
expanse Of smooth, quiet floor surface.
Second, waxing linoleum-a method
that improves its beauty and adds to its
life, with much less trouble to the house
keeper.
Third, the beautiful new patterns in
which modern lnoleum is made have
caught the eye of interior decorators
and architects.
For these reasons, when you think
of linoleum, don't think of it stand
ing in a roll in a store or roughly
tackled to kitchen floor.
Think of the bare wood floor of
one of your rooms transformed by
one of the new designs of Arm
strong's Linoleum. Think of this
inoleum as carefully laid by a
trained linoleum layer, cemented
over lining of builders deaden-

ing felt which has been pasted to
the wood underhoor.
Think of this floor as chosen to
harmonic in color and design with
your furniture and draperies. Think
of your nice fabric rugs laid on it.
Think Of the Inolenm floor
New inlaid linoleum should be
washed as soon as laid with a mild
soap, like Ivory, and then waved
with two very thin coats of wax
rubbed in thoroughly and polished
with a weighted brush. The thin
film of wax improves linoleum as
polishing improves shoe. All dust
is surface dust, and brushes right up.
1t is no trouble to keep this floor
looking its best. 1t should not be
scrubbed or secured. Touch it up
about once week with a cloth
moistened in liquid wax.

ADVICE TO SET BUILDERS.
Lines on Blue Prints Should Be
Penciled When Installed.

When building a set from a blue

pencil the lines as the corresponding
wires are laid.
This will eliminate chasing over

just which wires have been put in
the set and just how much more
to use a colored pencil for this work.

Famous Promoter Will Attempt

NEW YORK, July 19.-Tex Rick ard, promoter of the proposed Mickey Walker Benney Leonard welterweight title match, will abandon his plans to stage the bout in New Jersey and en- deavOr to resign the principals for a decision match in New York state, according to those close to the Madison Square Garden promoter today.
 In view of the attitude of the state athletic commission and it's ultimatum to Rickard and Billy Gibson, manager of Leonard, it is said that Rickard will not attempt to stage the meeting in New Jersey, where no-decision bouts are in vogue, due to the commissions s decision that those connected with the match would have their license revoked in this state.
 The state board has agreed to allow Walker and Leonard to, fight anywhere Tn the United States to decision, pro- vlded the winner signs to meet Dave Shade.
 This commission" said Chairman George F. Brewer, lis in no way inter ested as to whether Walker and Leonard box in this or any other state. We do, however, insist that they box to a decision. We take this stand to prevent champions from merely becom- ing titleholders mad not defenders"

F. Hegenbarth and J. T. Moser were honor shooters yesterday at the weekly shoot of the Magic City Rifle and Pis- tol club. Hegenbarth walked away with the indoor match, shooting at 90, the highest score recorded on the in- door gallery this year. The outdoor match was tie between Hagenbarth and Moser, with Moser taking the place on the shoot-off.
 Virgil Sandefer took third place in the outdoor match, turning in 91 as his best score, which is q onderful score. c. M. Higgins and O. D. Brown had hot competition to determine the winner of fourth place, O. D. Brown winning it on the shoot off.
 At the request of several members, the indoor shoot will be changed from Friday night to Wednesday night. This will allow members to shoot indoors and outdoors without so much shooting at one time, Friday night and Saturday afternoon being so close together.
 No rifle scores were made during the week, but new changes in the shooting schedule will permit the riflemen to shoot unhampered. The rifle range of the club has been offered the National guard for the training of the members of the guard, who are going to the try outs for the Alabama National Guard National Match Rifle team. Every as- sistance will be offered these riflemen so that Alabama may put a winning team in the field this year.
