Belgian Debt Pact VIII Spur

WASHINGTON, Sept. EVERY

harder for France to continue STALL
ing off a settlement.
To that extent the recently con-
Guided Belgian-American agree

good thing.
Probably insures some sort of
an arrangement when the French

commission would look pretty fool

can't do at least as we'll as poor lit

On the other hand the French
certainly will ask as good terms as
Belgium received The Belgian
compact lops off more than 200
millions in terest, and in the same
ratio, Frances debt being much
larger than Belgium's, the former
would get a cancellation amounting
to something like billion and Il
half-quite an item.
The Belgian reduction was grant
ed on the strength of promises made
by President Wilson when he was in
Paris. So far as the records show,
he didn't make similar promises to
France, but you can't tell-the
French may make something up yet
They have wonderful memories

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The
anthracite coal strike will not have
a serious nationwide effect in the
opinion of government economic
and mining experts VINO have been
investigating the situation.
They point out that next winters
coal supply has been mined and even
if the strike should be long drawn
out affair there is little chance of
a coal shortage,
Winter coal prices probably will
advance, but no more than in other
years, unless few dealers use
the strike as an unjustifiable ex.
cuse for profiteering, the govern
ment officials believe.
1s.According to James E. Black coal
se&pelt of the Bureau of Mines. the
total production Of anthracite coal
up to Aug, 8 this year was $685.
600 tons-about / per cent more
THAI during the same period last
year
The total output of bituminous
up to Aug. 8 was 285, 507,00 tons,
an increase of A. per cent over last
year.
According to W. F. Mckinney, f.
f. Finn and f. G. Tyron of geologi-
cal survey, the total supply of bit
luminous coal now in storage is 49,
100000 tons. The present supply
of anthracite is hard to determine
accurately, but indications are it is
sufficient to tide over long
stretch f non-production.
The geological survey experts say
retail dealers have a 52-day supply
on hand.
This statement is based on reports
from, 497 dealers who have a total
of 1850 tons. In addition to
this, about 100000 tons are stored
on upper Great Lakes docks, while
anthracite producers have stocks Of
undetermined size stored at the
mines.
Those in touch with the situa-
ton declare it can in no way be
compared with the great general
coal strike of 1922 which involved
6O3,O31 men for average of 1872
days.
To date the government has re-
fused to. take hand in the matter.
The president has stated he will be
