AMERICAN DEMANDS CRUDE, FRENCH SAY
"JarS on Our SensibiHtieS,"
 Govt. Mouthpiece Remarks PRESS ACTS BITTERLY
Decision to Have Caillaux and Briand Begin Negotiations With United States is Ignored Entirely By Many Newspapers.

Paris, May 16.-(AP)-Bitter edi- torial expressions appear in the Paris newspaper today in referring 10 the interallied debt problem. Comment is. however, rare. and many papers fail entirely to men ton the decision Of the cabinet that Finance Minister CaiIlaux and For c!gn Minister Briand shall start ac- tive negotiations with the American administration.
 EEre Nouyellc, representing the governmental majority, remarks that the question now has been reduced 10 the basis of business discussion. from which all sentimental consd- eratiOns are 10 be excluded.
 French opinion" 1t continues, has been stirred by the crudeness of the American demands. We do not conceal the fact that this crude ness jars on our scnsibilitkes, sharp cncd by so much suffering and so many dlsappointments. But We must take the facts as they are and try 10 forget all that might have been done 10 make them otherwise"
 This paper thinks 1t would be better to cease opposing the United States to England in the debt ques- ton, and let England solve the problem by herself. Likewise there should ho no more question. it says. Of suhordinatIng payment Of the in- teralliod debts to that of the Ger man debt to France. This was for mer Premier Poincdre's idea, the paper remarks, and when taken up afrcsh did much to alienate the United States from European af- fairs.
 Le Journal comments along the same lines but in a bitserer tone, giving figures calculated 10 contrast the immense. prosperity of the United States and tho immense pow erty of France growing out of the war.
 LOuevte, another organ of the left, is the bittcrest of all, and says France now is paying for having made the mistake of thinking that Woodrow Wilson represented Ameri- ca.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS DEFENDED AT
 INTERNATIONAL ARMS CONFERENCE

Geneva, May 16.--(AP)--A spirit cd defense of the league of nations characterized today's session of the international conference for the control Of traffic in arms and muni- tons.
 This came during debate on tho American amendment 10 divorce ths. proposed international arms traffic control bureau from the league.
 The smaller states represented at the conference, through the Spanish and Rumanian delegates, ayoWed that the league, although perhaps imperfect, Is a going concern, that 1t represents the hopes of humanity and that it would be useless to create a new organization which would only hinder the league.
 The American amendment was eventually referred to a special com mittee of eight including Represen- tatiVe Theodore L. Burton Of Ohio, head Of the American delegation, who offered the amendment.
 MT. Burton defended his proposal that the control office be organized by the signers of the arms convcn- tion themselves instead Of heinz appointed by the league council he said that this question Is vital for America, because under the pro- posed convention the control office would be a part Of the league of nations, of which the United States is not a member.
 Mir. Burton asserted that the dele gates must recognize that his gov crnment sees practical difficulties in accepting treaty obligations con corning an organization set up by the league.

Briand Will Argue Lat CT Financing Comes Under Head of Com- mercial Agreements.
Diplomats Still Hold Hope of Favored Treatment in Debts Such as Was Given Germany.

Paris May Is. (AP)-The part of the diplomats in the settlement of the French debt to the United States will be mostly a discussion Of what is called here political debts as dis tinguished from borrowings cata- logued as commercial debts. 1t was said today in official circles.
 Frequent references have been made lately to tho fact that the &C., counts between France and the United States have never been audi ted and that it is necessary 10 go over them and ascertain the exact amount France really owes.
 Despite the tendency shown lately in official cir les to recognize the otal borrowings for which French receipts have been given as the to- ial amount absolutely due, there re- mains lingering idea that the money borrowed by France from the United States before the armistice vas a sort of political aid by Amer lea while the amounts advanced by Washington after the armistlce must he considered as commercial debts Some ideas still exist that the for ner may yet be subject 10 discus sion.
 Foreign Minister Briand is eX- pected 10 deal with the political debts phase Of the question while Finance Minister Cailaux, whose Job 1t is 10 find the money, will take direct charge of negotiations regard ing the terms of payment.
 There are indications in the eX- prcssions of officials in both the f. nance and foreign departments that the question of Frances right to de- mand for her debts such favored treatment as Germany received in the matter of separations payments has not been abandoned.

 Well the only thing for Grundy to do Is 10 take the Peterson route . Suggestion of a "Peterson route Oswald testified, hinted 10 the gov ernor that he was willing to buy { pardon through the office of Carl Peterson, bank commissioner, unde Davis
 Mir. Davis recalled that he frs met Oswald in the campaign of 1920 when both were with party 0 Kansas democrats greeting Franklin , D. Roosevelt then democratic nom inee for vice president
 Did Oswald base his appeal fl %NDhFll4hFl Aul t PlI AOll LOI @T uul on the fact that he vas a young al torney and democrat. and securing of tho pardon would be beneficial t' him? ?" asked A. NJ. Harvey, chief 0 the defense counsel.

 "Oswald came to my office" Davi related, and asked what progress the Grundy matter was making told him several protests had beer made against the parole. Oswal, asked what were the objections 0 thu banking department. I explain cd the department had objected he cause of the trouble Grundy har given the state.
