terms than those accorded London in

reports, however, still lack official
confirmation.
Still another element of uncer-
tainty in the debt tangle appears to
have been eliminated by a British
embassy statement today, fatty
DENYING that Sir Allan Anderson and
Mr. Norman, two Bank of England

Farms Have Most Children.

Ecor omists need not be so anxious
over the rush of farm children to the
cities later in life, after all. It is
disclosed by census tabulations that
of the farm population of the United
States one-fourth are children under
10 years of age. Children of similar
age in the cities constitute only one
fifth of the population.

Investments Authorized.


"The Secretary of the Treasury,
said the statement, lis authorized to
invest and reinyest the moneys in the
fund in interest bearing obligations
Of the United States and to sell those
obligations for the purposes of the
fund.
In order that the fund shall be
sufficient to meet the payment in &C
cordance with the plan outlined by
the act it is necessary that the
uoneys be invested when received
and kept invested until payments out
of the fund are required. No purpose
is gained by the investment Of the
fund in securities returning more
than 4 per cent, compounded annually,
since this would simply mean an ac-
cumulation in the fund of more
money than was necessary to meet
payment.
ION the other hand, If less than 4
per cent. compounded annually, is re-
ceived the fund Will be insufficient to
meet all payments to become due
There are no Government securities
in the hands of the public bearing
interest payable annually (aS dis
tinguished from mi-annually), and
none which give the exact return of 1
per cent annually on market price,
During each year the fund will be

continuous liability will require al

can only be obtained by the sale or
redemption of securities in the fund.
Future Financing Plans.

the certificate, at the expiration of
20 years, at which time cash will
have to be realized Since the Secur-
tiles paid in the fund will probably
not be suited to EXISTING market con-
dition the likely solution at that
time will be for the Treasury to re-
deem the securities in the fund where
the proceeds of new securities which
will meet the market then existing.
IT is apparent, therefore, that the
purchase for the fund of any of the
present outstanding Government Sc
curities will not meet the exact re-
Quirements of the fund and will prob
ably be unsatisfactory for sale when
on maturity of the certificates the
major fiscal operation to provide cash
must be undertaken.
IF the Treasury were in the Gov
ernment bond market on the 1st of
January in each year to buy 100000
600 of it's securities, the purchases
could not be made III one day, nor
could such a large order be filled
without unduly Increasing the mar
ket price which the fund would have
to pay, if, also, the Treasury in the
course of the year was required to
sell securities to provide the fund
with cash, the tendency would then
be to depress Government securities
on the market. So, if the practice of
buying, and selling on the open mar
ket were used, the Treasury would be
continually purchasing on a high
market and selling on low market"

SPRINGFIELD, H., April 5.-The
new warfare of Frank harrington,
president of the Illinois miners, and
Freeman Thompson, rank and file
leader, president of sub-district No. 4,
took an added hue here today with
Thompson's defiant announcement he
would continue to act as president
after the harrington state machine
had declared John A. Walker elected
to Thompson's post by more than 200

Coupled with Thempson's defiance
came the sensational action of John
A. Walkers own local in adopting re-

bouncing itst members unanimously
voted to stand with Thompson.
The resolution also branded the
custer proceedings against Thompson
as Illegal and demanded sub-dis-

Thompson charged that in answer
to the resolution, Harrington said he
would not call a convention if every

Washington. Feb. 24.-President Coolidge is disinclined 10 fostar dis cussion in this country of the French debt problem unless there Is reason to believe that such discussion will be helpful in bringing about state of mind in France which would lead 10 a settlement.
 The president sees no advance in reiterating from time to time the administration attitude. Such dis cussion, he feels, might be con- strued abroad as an attempt to coerce the French government, and that attitude of mind would not be calculated to lead 10 an early ad- justment.
