Crippled Planes and Weather
Hazards Upset MacMillan's Plans
FRENCH COMMISSION
COMING sept, Is TO
talk DEBT FUNDING

Washington, Aug. 1s-(AP)-A
terse announcement from Secretary
Mellon that French commissioners
empowered to negotiate a plan for
funding their nations war debt to the
United States would sail September
Is, followed today on the heels of the
Belgian settlement made yesterday.
Otherwise. there was no official
statement on the funding situation.
Members of the American debt
commission expressed convictions
tha. the Belgian settlement had been
in a way associated with the French
approach, but there was considerable
variance of opinion as to its effect
on French and Italian sentiment,
TIE reaction in Congress to the
Belgian settlement, which must have
the approval Of both Senate and
house before 1t can becoms effective,
remains to be developed. Most of
the leaders are away from Washing
ton, but those on the groIni appear
convinced that the terms given Bel
gium, when sent to the capitol with
the weight of the administrations ap-
prevail behind them. will encounter no
prolonged opposition.
There is left now owing to the
United States. as a result of it's war
lending operations, approximately
s12.0S4.23S,393. the Belgium settle
ment in it's discharge Of some of the
accrued interest, having reduced the
former total of the treasury's debt
figures. OF the 20 nations which bor-
rowed. only Cuba has paid off all the
debt and interest marked up against
it. while five others. Great Britain.
Finland. Hungary. Lithuania and Po-
land. have entered upon funding op-
erations, and the English debt, by far
the largest Of the war account, has
been reduced in large amount. The
French. Italian and Russian obliga-
tions are the largest vet unfunded.

from witti,. Your organs and muscles
