PARIS METHODS
Cites Frances Failure to Make
' Any Move to Pay Interest
on Debt.

Washington-The real problem with
respect to the French debt is that Of
reputation, Chairman Borah, of the
foreign relations committee, declared
in the Senate.
Replying to the speech in the
French Chamber of Deputies by De-
putty Marin, Senator Borah said no
one could read that debate or the
French press without concluding that
"acquittar' of the debt is now the is
sue. THAT no part of it is to be set
tied; that no part is to be paid"
"Of course that great people can
take that position and repudiate their
obligation in that way" he added,
but If they choose to do so the truth
Of history ought to carry the actual
facts in regard to the debts and con-
ditions and circumstances surround
ing the settlement"
uoting at length from NJ. Marin's
address, in the course of which the
French deputy said it would be iniqui-
tous for the United States to collect
its four-billion dollar debt from France.
Senator Borah asserted that there was
no justification for the efforts made
to place the United States in the posi-
ton Of an "exacting condition"

SAINT JOAN"
By PAUL WHITEMAN

Wilmington is fortunate that
George Bernard Shaw's greatest and
latest play, Saint JOAN" is to be the
attraction at the Playhouse Monday
and Tuesday evenings, March 16
and IL, with Julia Arthur in the
title role.
Seldom in the past twenty-five
years has play caused such gem
eral discussion as Shaw's Saint
Joan." Shaw had for scrutiny a nice
variety of Joans. His Joan is nearly
akin to that of Anatole France. She
is simple and always a rustic, vet
confidently patting princes on the
shoulder and fully aware that for
people with a mission manners are
memerly an unnecessary luxury.
