 It was the opinion of Sir Cecil that there ehould not be another failure by the league to bring about disarmament. He thought that all the nations should immediately begin through their war and navy departments technical preparation and that an inventory should be made by them before calling upon the league of nations to act again.

DEBT SETTLING
 NOW PREDICTED
France and England Likely to
 Get Together

Paris Sept. IS Rt-Le Martin to- day says that the recent speech at Birmingham by Winston Churchill, British chancellor of the exchequer, toreshadows a complete debt settle ment between France and England.
 Finance Minister Caillaux's insis- tence upon the doctrine of contin- gent liability alone prevented the conclusion of such an agreement with MT, Churchill at their recent conference in London. the paper continues
 M. Caillaux accepted Mfr. Church ills proposal that France pay an- nually f12,500,o0o for 62 years, but only conditionally upon Germany paying France, because he held that the international debts must be in dependent and that unless that premise were admitted, the negotia- tors would get nowhere,
 Le Martin understands that MT. Churchill personally shared this view but that his fellow cabinet members did not, The chancellor now, 1t be- lieves, has succeeded in convincing his colleagues that 1t would be an injustice to oblige France alone to hear the consequences of a possible default by Germany, for that it adds, is the sole explanation of his speech.
 MT. Churchill was quoted by press dispatches as saying in his Birmingham speech: Our main idea has been settlement. We have not sought to be judged upon this ques- tion by our ability 10 exact the ut termost farthing. We think it our duty to consider not only the capa- city of the debtors 10 pay, but the circumstances in which these debts were incurred. We believe 1t also 10 be in the interests of Great Britain to promote general appeasement and revival on the continent of Europe.'

FRENCH ANXIOUS
 ID DISARM SOON
Geneva Delegates Hear Views on
 Peace Measures

Geneva, Sept, ls F,-The address yesterday before the disarmament committee of the assembly Of the league of nations Sir Cecil Hurst, Great Britain, in which he declared thatit would be better to make haste slowly with regard to tech nical preparations for general disarmament conference has had its reaction upon the French dele gates.
 This reaction may be summed up as follows: I've wish to prepare for a general disarmament confer ence in all ways, both inside and outside of the league of nations. so that when the psychological mo- rnent comes for calling the confer ence should be ready.
 Tho question when the confer ence should bs called ought to re- main in the hands of the league council, as the subject is political and not technical. The leagues much abused commission of co-or- dination, to which the task of pre- pairing for disarmament confer ence was assigned last year after the assembly voted the protocol, should continue the technical preparation which 1t has begun.
 Frances superior war council and general staff already are pre- pared to furnish positive dis armament program, IL is up to the other nations to do likewise"
 This viewpoint was obtained from the best qualified spokesman of the French delegation
