FRANCE WANTS
90 YEARS TO PAY
Moratorium for Ten Years
Also Requested by Pre-
mier Herriot.

Washington. first actual
diplomatic proposals for debt settle
ment with the United States reached
Washington and were laid before
President Coolidge and the cabinet.
Though carefully given semi-offi-
cial status and described as guarded
in tone, still the communication con-
stitutes a definite step toward liquida-
ton Of the $4,OOO,OO0,OOO French war
debt.
They were forwarded by Ambassa-
dor Herrick from Paris and were
signed, it is said, by Premier Herriot
and Finance Minister Clementel.
In substance, France hinrs at pro-
posal to pay off the debt in about 80
years, first STIMULATING for a ten-year
moratorium, and afterward amortizing
the obligation at the rate Of one-half
Of 1 per cent per annun1.
Premier Herriot, It was said, vehe-
mently denied any intention on
Frances part to repudiate the oblt-
cation.

information reaching the White House
had solidified Mr.. Coolidge's previously
expressed opinion that the French gov
eminent had no intention of repudiat-
ing it's debt to the United States. The
President believes, 1t was said, that
reports attributed to M. Clementel, the
French minister Of finance, suggesting
reputation, were exaggerated or mis-
interpreted and that the French gov
eminent has every intention of making
good it's debt.
Another development which served
to clarity the mystery surrounding the
debt negotiations was an explanation
by the British embassy here that Mon
tague Norman and Sir Alan Anderson,
officials Of the Bank of England, had
come to the United States on private
business and not in connection with
the debt question.

Chicago-R. G. Dun & Co.'s annual
review of business in part is as fol-
lows:
The year 1924 was a period of huc-
tuating business, with sharp irregu-
larities and contrasts, yet with dis
tinct gain in activity during the clos
ing months. Political uncertainties,
by causing added conservatism and
hesitation. accentuated the contrac-
ton in trade which had occurred In
various lines, but the result Of the
national election in November had a
reassuring and stimulating effect and
brought about decided revival.
The Increased confidence that de-
veloped throughout the country was
manifested both in the placing OF de-
ferred orders and in the greater will
lingness to make forward commit
ments, while the sound basic condi-
lions, with the improved financial
status Of the grain farmers, were
regarded as foreshadOwing continu-
alton of the commercial expansion.
AS the volume of transactions en-
larged, mill and factory operations,
which in numerous instances had
fallen to low levels during the sum-
mer, began to recover more rapidly,
and the average rate of steel output
had reached So per cent by the end
of December.
The previous curtailment in differ
tot cA
by the disproportion between supply
and demand, but producing facilities
were more fully utilized when buying
subsequently broadened, and many
additions to working forces were
made.
With an estimated value of $9,479,-
100000, the farm crops Of the United
States in the past year were worth
S753, 100000 more than those of 1928.
