 The French war debt should be refunded on liberal terms without further delay, French statesmen should be willing to agree to this willingly and such an agreement would rebound to the eventual bene- 1t of France by upholding her credit and maintaining her reputa- ton as responsible debtor.

SOME PHILOSOPHY ON BROOM APARTMENTS

When is an apartment not an apartment? The question may be asked much in the light of a cross word puzzle In connection with the announcement that an apartment house to be built in New Britain will have apartments of 2, and 4 rooms.
 A Broom apartment is getting down to metropolitan proportions. It is rumored that innumerable New York apartments or flats. as they call them in Brooklyn - are on the Broom plan -- bed room and kitchen, or kitchenette. A new ly married couple living in such commodious quarters has the ad- vantage of not being compelled to purchase much furniture. And as it isn't the New York custom to stay at home much, the lack of more space doesn't seem to work undue hardships.
 Construction of such apartments in New Britain advisable as they may be from some Standpoints - gives rise to philosophizing. Here is city with plenty of unoccupied portions; there is land, field and forest in parts of" this city, and these tracts are extensive. One would think that this fact would stimulate the construction of homes in those sections; at least, there would seem no necessity for close housing. But here where there is q plenitude of land we are growing more corgcstcd in. our living every year. There was a time when the smaller cities took pride in having larger homes, more open spaces and better housing than the large cities; { but the new apartments VIC build are getting to be remarkably close limitations of the New York idea.
 Remarks such as these should rot he misc0nstrucd they are not rI- tered in spirit of fa,Ilt -linding, but merely by way of noting the trend of the times in such things, No ob- sorlations in print can change con ditions over which no ofc seems 10 have much control. The men who put LID Groom apartments or suites ought to be able to guess whether they will bc in demand. Perhaps they have already analy2ed the sta tistics and figured out the total oi probable takers But VIC more or less ancient and oId-fashioned fel- lows, who in our youth were ac' cust0mcd 10 oven more rooms in the mcnage than paltry half dozen, must he pardoncd for blink ing an eye at such a reduction in family elbow room.

AGREEMENT NEEDED ON
 TRENCH WAR DEBT

Efforts being made to smooth tn" pathway toward a cancellation of the French war debt to America, probably received q notable setback in the Senate through the speech of MT. Borah in reply to one made in inc French Chamber of Deputies by Louis Marin.
 M. Marin's thesis was that as France sacrificed many more lives than the United States in the late war, as America came into the war Dato, and as the war was fought upon French territory, America should forgive the war debt.
 This view, it is generally held, represents the view of the French nation as hofe and that of many prominent French government of- ficiaIs. but not all, as was evidenced by the turmoil over N. Marin's statements in the French parliament yesterday,
 Senator Borah, in eountcring, re- terred to the liberal debt settlement of this nation with Great Britain as Droof that we are not an intcrna- ,ional ShyIock, q term that certain European statesmen and pubiieists have applied. When "r"nlnding'' rne British debt wo sealed down the interest charge on the original con- tract, so that Great Britain will pay us S&.Soo 985.0o0 lrss than would have been the case with the original interest charge. As q result, Amer ican taxpayers arc paying more in interest on the bonds originally sold to obtain money 10 loan to Britain than we are receiving under the re- funding agreement. The senator termed it 50-ccnts-on-the-do'I settlement.
 In the case of France inc sena- tor called attention 10 the gains oi France rom thc war, including 4o2.392 square miles of territory, in- habi,cd by 4,oooDoo people; the saar coal mines, the return of Al- sace and Lorraine and her share in the $6.5Qa,o60,0oo so far paid by Germany.
