humanity seemed to take the upper
hand in the last chest campaign
to the exclusion almost OF any cona
sideration for the welfare or pre-
ventive agencies. What seemed
to be an insurinountable difficulty
was the task Of convincing the pub
lie that through these preventive
agencies might be effected decisive
lessening OF the cases Of wrecke1
humanity, particularly in the form
of youth.
In the early days of the breach.

preparation for which was begun
in Newark In 1921, the plan re-
..eived IN unexpected blowS in the
decision of .i.olnan Catholic Church
charity organizations to stay out
of the plan.
Death Another Blow.
Another early blow, the effect OF
which is still felt in Community
Chest circles, was the sudden death,
before the first campaign, of the
organizations executive secretary.
who had a known ability for CO.
ordination Of the work Of the vari-
GUS social service agencies being
lined up for participation in the fed.
Grafton. The aecretary's death left
the initial Organization work of the
federation to man who by his own
admission was q financial director
rather than social welfare worker.
Death of the secretary resulted in
q financial atmosphere rather than
cooperative welfare atmosphere
being provided for the floating OF
the chest idea. The situation was
reversed when, instead of having
the financial campaign director sub
ordinate to the welfare director in
the person OF the federation's execu-
tive secretary, the welfare director,
a woman appointed to take up that
portion Of the original secretarY's
work, was made subordinate to the
financial director. to whom was
given the secretaryship. As q con-
sequence the plan was sold to the
public as a means of saving money
in the collection of funds rather
than sold, as its creators intended
it should have been, on basis OF
greater welfare service through elm
inatton Of overlapping work in vel
fare activities.

PLEASES
U. S. Officials Say It Will Be
influence in Bringing
Others to Terms
By II. K. REYNOLDS.


Having received assurances dur
ing the week that two Of the prin-
cipal debtors Of the United States
Italy and Belgium -are getting
ready to send debt-funding COM
missions to Washington during the
summer, the Government today
concentrated its attention on
France, more hopeful than ever
that definite action toward the
funding Of the $4,000, ,OoO, 900
French debt would now be forth
coming.
It was the opinion Of members
Of the American Debt Commission
that the French government, even
If its plan for paying its debt to
this country had not been worked
out in complete detail, would not
delay much longer in getting on
the band wagon-that some sort
of d formal gesture by France
would be made. such as q promise,
through the French ambassador
here. TO open debt negotiations at
an early date.
Belgian Promise Explicit
This is all that has actually been
done by Belgium and Italy, although
the formers promise was more
definite than that OF Italy Ia that
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon,
as, chairman Of the American Debt
Commission, has been advised by
the Belgian Ambassador that part
Of the personnel OF the Belgian Debt
Commission already has been select.
ed and that the members will pro.
coed to the United States, following
q debt conference to take place
shortly among officials Of the Brus-
sells government. Former Premier
Theunis, who represented his gov
ernment at the Paris conferences on
the ALLEGATION Of German repara-
tions, and who IL personally ac-
quainted with Secretary of State
Kellogg, will head the Belgian com.
mission. Baron de Cartier de
Marchienne, the Belgian Ambassa-
dor, will return to Brussels to
bring the Belgian Debt Commission
ia Washington.
While the debt conversations be-
tween the United States and italy
have not proceeded SO Tar ais those
with Belgium, Secretary Mellon has
been given to understand that the
Italian government IL likewise pre-
pairing to open debt negotiations,
and that Baron q. de Martino, the
Italian Ambassador, is now await.
Ing instructions to that effect from
Rome.
The Italian and Belgian debts
aggregate more than two and q
half billion dollars. Italy's is
$2.1S8, ,64S. .S6S and Belgium's is
$4SO, ,603,9S4.
Ready to Pay Interest.
Concrete terms have not yet been
discussed, between Secretary Mellon
and the Belgian and Italian repre-
sentatives here, but they have been
advised that the United Statcs
wishes to fund all Of the outstand-
ing war obligations on the same
basis as the British debt. Members
Of the American debt commission
have set their faces firmly against
any reduction in interest rates be-
low per cent, but they are be-
ieved to be willing to consider pro-
posals for funding the debts over
yonger period than the sixty.two
years provided for in .Anglo-Ameri-
can debt agreement.
It Is understood that both Italy
and Belgium are willing to begin
interest payments as soon as fund
ing agreements have been con-
cluded, but that they desire mora
toriums on the payment Of princi-
pal.

Black must be well.treated or it
is dull and gloomy.
Broadcloth coat-frocks are trim

of gold or silver is quite new and
correct.
Every dressmaker of any inn

Over MosuI

LONDON. Sept. 29.-Turkey will
not go to war to back up her
claims to Mosul, according to the
belief of Colonial Secretary Leopold
S. Amery.
Amery has just returned here
from Geneva, where he has been
negotiating the Mosul affair.
Il want to make lit clear that
from the first to the last there has
been no suggestion or question of
war at the Geneva conference" said
Amery. Il don't believe Turkey
would go to war in order to en-
force her demands"
This statement comes on. top Of
dispatch from Angora quotins
Mustapha Kemal, President Of the
Turkish republic, as declaring thai
the Turkish army is prepared.
Amery has been under constant
fire from the opposition press here
because of his policy with regard
to Mosul, and his statement today
is in reply to constant predictions
from opposition newspapers that
Amery's attitude on the Mosul af-
fair was bringing Great Britain to
tie brink of war with Turkey.
