FINDING OF FRENCH
DEBT IS PASSED
ON TO PRESIDENT

Washington, Sept. 30-(AP)-
President Coolidge must decide the
fate Of the French debt negotiations.
The French have offered what they
consider to be their final proposal,
and the American commissioners, I'M
able to agree among themselves, will
lay the problem before the president
tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Call
laux. with the air of a man who has
finished an arduous task, sat back
calmly awaiting a decision which has
been promised him at IL o'clock to-
morrow. Tonight he entertained at
the French embassy the American
commissioners with whom he has
been engaged in the momentous bat
tie of figures.
Frances offer calls for a payment
OF $40,0OO,0O0 annually for five years,
sixty millions annually during the
next five years and an annual pay
ment Of one hundred millions in the
succeeding fifty years. This would
aggregate total payment of $5,21O,-
100000 in principal and interest on
the recorded debt of $4,21O,0OO, 900.
Calculations show, therefore, that the
interest rate. althoug no specifically
mentioned anyWere, would average
about two and one half per cent over
the life of the proposed agreement.
The offer, described as the best the
French delegation felt their govern
ment could support, was worked out
in conference of sub committees of
the two committees. The French
gave it almost unanimous support;
members Of the American sub COM
mittee agreed only to report it back
to their commission, which in turn
was compelled to take it to the presi-
dent
There were indications of sharp
disagreement within the American
commission on several phases Of the
proposal when it's members sat
down to go over the last proposition
from M. Caillaux after the French
had departed.
Behind locked doors and with
shades drawn on all windows of the
conference room, the American COM
missioners waged their discussion
nearly two hours, the only conclusion
reached being the determination to
send a commission to lay the whole
matter before Mr.. Coolidge. Secre-
tary Mellon, the chairman, Secretary
Hoover, Senator Smoot of Utah, and
Representative Crisp of Georgia,
were picked to confer with the chief
executive.
The White House conference Is
planned for 9 o'clock. The Ameri-
can commission will meet immedi-
ately afterward and the French
commission will receive it's answer at
IL o'clock at joint session with the
Americans.
1t is known that at least two of the
Americans have expressed their I'M
qualified opposition to the arrange
ment of terms now before them. An
other group is inclined now and has
been consistently in favor of making
concessions, while still third sec
ton is ready to take the advice that
will be sought from the president to-
morrow. To the president, therefore,
will fall the task of either supporting
one of the groups now standing for
and against the French proposal, re-
spectively. or of finding a middle
ground for a counter suggestion to
the French.

Defer Move to
Gust Palmer from
u. S. Shipping Board

Washington, Sept 30-(AP)-The
probability of the shipping board ter
minating the services of Leigh c.
Palmer, as president of the fleet cor
poration, generally were regarded as
deferred for an indefinite period with
the White House announcement today
that President Coolidge had appoint
ed II. G. Dalton of Cleveland to study
the entire shipping row and report
to him.
The step was said in shipping
board circles to have put an entirely
new aspect to the situation which
had brought to the breaking point
relations between the board and Mr..
Palmer and a letter to Mr.. Coolidge
upon majority vote of the board that
the board intended to reshape the
official personnel and policies OF the
fleet corporation.
