LONDON. Aug. 27. - French
Finance Minister Caillaux went back
to Paris, apparently jubilant at the
terms Of the debt settlement he had
achieved with British Chancellor of
the Exchequer Churchill.
That France will accept the terms,
which in effect, put up to America
the question of giving France len
lent treatment on her American debt,
is deemed certain.
Any dissatisfaction in France over
the arrangement to pay for sixtytwo
years an annuity Of about $62,-

the fact that Caillaux received as
surance in London's Wall Street
that he could obtain credits to tide
