House Committee to
robe Navy Needs
(By The Associated Prcss.)

WASHINGTON, d. G., Dec. 30.-In-
vestigation into the needs of the navy
was decided upon today by the house
naval committee at a stormy session.
A motion was adopted to call Secre-
tary Wilbur before the committee jan
uary 8 to make such recommendations
as he might deem expedient
Chairman Butler announced that dur
ing the discussion he had been informed
unofficially President Coolidge expected
a conference to be held within a year
looking to further naval disarmament.
1t was at the suggestion of Mr.. Butler
however, that the motion for an inquiry
was made. The chairman said he sup
ported such a step beacuse he had been
charged with attempting to override the
will Of the committee.
As adopted the motion represented a
compromise between those desiring to
take up a bill proposing naval build
ing program and members who sought
to have the committee direct its atten-
tion to a measure designed to adjust
certain Irregularities in the naval es-
tablishment.

War Debt Pool Not
Intended Clementel
(By The Associated Press.)

PARIS, Dec. 30.-Finance Minister
Clementel has no intentions of pro-
posing pooling Of the inter-allied war
debts; he merely mentioned it as a
theoretical view in his recent inventory
of Frances financial position. This
explanation was given by NJ. Clementel
in a statement when he learned of the
impression created by the inventory in
the United States. He declared he was
the victim Of practice Of quoting iso-
lated passages without reference to
the context.
On the next three pages Of the in
ventory to that containing the pool
idea occur paragraphs giving the strong
est assurances that France does not
intend to repudiate her debts and en-
phasizing the fact that the new cor
diality which has developed in her re-
lations with the allied countries dur
ing the last six months warrants be-
lief that the problem Of inter-a allied
debts can be approached with mutual
desire for conclusion of an understand

interested parties.

DENIES INTENT
IS TO CANCEL
ALL OBLIGATION
French Embassy Gives
Unequivocal Assur-
ance of Desire to Re-
inburse u. S. Loans
(Bv The Associated Press }


WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec.
80. - Unequivocal assura n e
from the French embassy that
France had no thought of dis
avowing her war debts to the
United States had served large
ly today to modify the wave of
apprehension enveloping t h e
American capital on the heels
Of what was construed as a hint
from Paris on the possibility Of such
a course.
In reiterating the intention of their
government to meet its obligations,
embassy officials took occasion to ex-
plain the legal exactions concerning
the new balance sheet recently given
out by the French ministry Of finance
which, by omitting all reference to the
American debt, appears to have given
rise to the concern here.
Because it comes under the class Of
contemplated expenditures which are
indefinite as to time and for which
there has been no offsetting appropria
tion, the American debt, the embassy
declared. under provision of law pre-
venting inclusion Of such items inclu-
sion Of such items in the budget, could
not be carried in it. The omission, en-
bassy officials emphasized, has no sig.
nificance whatever as to the intentions
of their government.
The explanation given at the en-
bassy last night followed a day of
gathering reverberations here which
reached outspoken warnings on the
floor Of both the senate. and house
against any program of deot rapudia-
tion by the French government.
Diplomatic amenities precluded any
formal comment on the incident by the
administration itself but Secretary
Hughes held long conference during
the day with Assistant Secretary Wads-
worth of the treasury, who is secre
tary of the American debt commission.
and there were plain indications of as
tonishment in administration circles OF
the administrations emphatic dissent
from any program of debt cancellation,
there was left no doubt.
