FRENCH COMPLETE
DEBT PLANS AS
EXPERTS CALCULATE

Washington. Sept. q. - (AP) =
While their experts wrestled with
calculations of cold figures. Finance
Minister Caillaux and his associates
of the French delegation completed
plans tonight to go before the Amer
lean debt funding commission to-
morrow in a defense of the French
debt funding plan.
M. Caillaux drew up a declaration
of principles tonight which he will
read to the Americans at the sched-
uled plenary session. He is ready
also to invite a similar defense by
the Americans or the suggestions
made Friday by Secretary Mellon
when the treasury chief SO abruptly
turned down the first Caillaux pro-
posal. And there were indications
given by members of each delegation
tonight that from the statements.
comparable to debate. that are ex-
pected to come tomorrow, will be
developed the first actual discussion
of terms.
1t was evident after M. Caillaux
and his colleagues had made a pill
grimage today to Mount Vernon as
the guests of Mr.. Mellon and later
had lunched with the treasury secre-
tary, that the two delegations regard
the negotiations now as having come
strongly under the influence of the
public opinion Of two great peoples.
That phase, must be counted on from
this time to the conclusion of the
conference, observers declared, as
being problem equally as impor-
tant as in it's fullest sense as the ac-
tual terms about which the debt ne
gotiators will talk.
