dency of M. Doumergue, and laid
the French debt policy before his
colleagues for approval It is dn-
derstood that cabinet gave its ap-
prevail to the plan.
France viii advise the United

neither Great Britain or the United

France can not offer to pay in
excess Of these payments, whatever
they may be. Thus it seems that
M. Caillaux viii attempt to reach
an agreement with the United

Why British Refused.
Churchill refused steadfastly to
accept any French debt settlement
which was contingent upon German
payments of reparations, maintains
ing that Great Britain could not
connect these payments with the
responsibility of France to pay:
