Hone for Agreement

PARIS, Nov. 29 (By The Associat-
ed Press) With regard to the con-
versations in Washington between
Ambassador Jesserand and Secretary
Mellon on the subject of the French
debt it was stated in official quarters
today that Premier Herriot, ever
since, he took office, has believed
that some arrangement for settle
ment with the United States should
be reached. The difficulty in his
mind and in the minds of his asso-
ciates has been largely as to the
method Of approach.
1t was Professionally decided at one
time that Finance Minister Clemen-
tel should go to Washington next
spring to deal with the negotiations
himself, but this idea was abandoned
about two weeks ago. The principal
reason, it appears, was the belief
that it would be better for the fl
nance minister to remain in Paris
where he could consult with the
premier and his other colleagues up
on the developing phases of the
problem instead of going to Wash
ington where he might be expected
to make instant decisions
1t also has been thought that the
question could most conveniently be
opened by the American debt fund
ing commission through diplomatic
channels. NJ. Jesserand's conversa-
tions with the American secretary of
the treasury were in conformity with
this policy.

SURVEY
IS UP To CITY
All Other Municipalities Inter-
eSted in Project Pledge
Financial Support
WATSON SEES CALVIN
Is Said to Have Been Prom
iSed Local Fund Will
Be Forthcoming

The proposed survey of the Rari-
tan river, from this city to New
Brunswick costing in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, now depends en-
t:rely upon Perth Amboy, all of the
other municipalities interested in this
project having signified their inten-
ton of making the necessary appro-
priations if Perth Amboy will do its
share
Russell e. Watson, president of the
Raritan Terminal and Waterways
Association, came to this city this
morning and conferred with Alder
man-at-Large Richard ]. Calvin on
the subject of Perth Ambo s finan-
cial support to the proposed survey.
New Brunswick has already voted
to pay $4,000 towards the cost of the
survey Il Perth Amboy will do like
wise. All of the other municipalities
are ready to go ahead and with the
entire project depending upon this
city's attitude in the matter, it seems
likely that an allowance will he made
in next years budget to care for
$4,000 or $500 appropriation.
Numerous confel Nnces of the Off
cials of the various places along the
Raritan river have been held during
the past year for the purpose of ar
riving at some decision as to what
would be the logical action to take
in order that federal aid might be
secured in deepening. widening and
strengthening the Raritan river It
was generally agreed that little or
no assistance from the federal gov
ernment can be expected If the
municipalities themselves do not
show sufficient interest in the pro-
ject and are willing to spend some
money to get together the essential
data needed to convince the war de-
partment of the ne, essity of an i'm
proved waterway here.
The proposed survey would fur
nish the desired data after which
the municipl ,ities could build their
arguments around This data and
stand an excellent chance of secur-
ing federal aid in bringing about
the improvement of the Raritan
river

on the road near the entrance TO our
plant, and were seriously injured,
one while coming to worix and the
other on the way home.

have been several fatalities during
the past year in addition to a num-
Der of near accidents. particularly at
the point at our steps, when our en-
ployes are crossing the street to
board a trolley on their way home.
Knowing your interest in safety
principles, | feel sure tht you will
take such steps that will eliminate
the practice of motorists using this
road as a speedway.

FRENCH DEPT.
ACTION TAKEN
Matter Has Progressed So
Far Commission Likely
to Meet Soon

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Infor-
mai exchanges looking TO a refunding
settlement Of the French debt to the
United States have progressed to the
point where the matter will be laid
before the full membership of the
American debt commission for dis
cussion at meeting called here for
December L.
Secretary Mellon called the meet
ing of the commission yesterday
shortly after it had become known
that they had held a series of in
formal conferences recently with
Ambassador Jesserand on the sub
ject of his government wartime OBJ
libation to the United States, which
ranks second in amount to the
British debt. already refunded.
The result of these conversations,
to guide the commission in it's dis
cussion of the matter, is understood
to be chiefly in the nature of a clari-
fication of the fiscal position of the
French government in its bearing on
a possible basis for formal negotia-
tions. While the commission at this
meeting, the first in six months. IS
expected to do little more in regard
to the French debt than go over the
situation in the light of the recent
conversations, it is believed these
eventually will lead to tangible re-
suits,

COOLIDGES ATTEND BIG
ARMY NAVY STRUGGLE

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29:-An
exodus that left Washington almost
devoid of officialdom began at day
break today and continued through
the morning with Baltimore and the
football game there between the
Army and Navy as the magnet OF
attraction.
The annual gridiron. contest be-
tween the Military Academy and the
Naval Academy teams always has
drawn heavily on Wasington's popu-
lation. but with the scene of the
game nearer to the capital than 1t
has been in years, the seat of the
government itself virtually was
moved today to the nearby Maryland
city.
The crowds that left Washington
for Baltimore by train, interurban
and motor included most of the
members Of the cabinet, hundreds OF
members of congress here for the
convening of that body next Monday,
and a host of other cials. Lead
ing the list were President and Mrs.
Coolidge. who had arranged to leave
the White House shortly before noon
and motor to Baltimore to see their
first Army-Navy game since they en-
tered the White House.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
with the members of their party, in
accordance with custom, were as
signed a box during the first half of
the Navy side-the Naval Academy
being ''the home school, this year
and were to cross the field during
the intermission between halves to
see the last two periods from the
Army side.
