her debts to America has been quieted
by news from Washington Of the State
DEPARTMENTS official denial that such
a note has been sent.
However, the conviction exists here
that Finance Minister Caillaux intends
himself to raise the question later in
the year, and it is believed that he has
already discussed the matter with
Garrard B. Winston, Assistant Secre-
tary of the United States Treasury,
during the latter's recent visit here.
M. Caillaux is described as having
reached the determination to take up
the question with the United States
Government for two reasons, first. to
tranquilize the French state of mind
and, second, because of the necessity
to advance French credits in New
York and London by arriving at an
arrangement of both the American
and English debts.
The question. of French debts to the
United States is interlinked with that
of her debts to England, and the Eng

from the negotiations for general
agreement regarding continental con-
ditions.

PREMIER MASSEY
DIES At AGE OF So
New Zealand Leader in Of

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, May
1.-THE funeral of the late premier
of New Zealand, William F. Massey,
who died yesterday. will be held on
Thursday at Point Halswell, yelling
ton Harbor, where a monument Will
he erected in his memory. King
George and Prime Minister Stanley
Baldwin have sent messages OF SYM
pathy from London to the Massey
family.
Mr., Massey was the last of the war
time premiers. He became head OF
the Dominion government in 1912, and
despite war and postwar changes,
which one by one threw the elder
leaders out of power, his position re-
manned secure. He was fervent i'm
perialist and five times visited Great
Britain to attend imperial confer
ences. At the last of these confer
enceS he acted as dean.
Ancestors Farmers.
The premier was born 50 years ago
in the village of Limavady.. near Lon
donderry, Ireland, where, as he often
proudly said, his ancestors were till
ers of the soil for centuries. He emf
grated to New Zealand. when he was
IA years old and followed the occu-
patton of farmer. 1t was as farm
er that he was elected to the Dominion
House of Representatives in 1894.
Throughout his political career he
maintained profound interest in his
early work.
A big, bluff, hearty man, Mr.. Mas
sey was ardently conservative and
anti-socialistic. He made few enemies
and numbered among his bitterest po-
litical foes many personal friends. He
was a great admirer of President Cool
idge. He met the American Chief
Executive in Washington in 1923. On
the desk in Mr.. Massey's study in
Wellington was a framed photograph
of Mr.. Coolidge making hay on a
New England farm. Mr.. Massey also
was an admirer of Abraham Lincoln,
q number of whose addresses, notably
that at Gettysburg, he had committed
to memory.
Mr.. Massey visited the United States
several times. His last visit was in
1923, when he was on his way to
London to attend an imperial confer
ence. He received notable receptions
both in San Francisco and Washing
ton. He remained in the National
Capital for three days. When he was
leaving the White House after meet
ing President Coolidge Mr.. Massey
was stopped by the late Samuel Com
pers, head of the American Federation
of Labor who introduced himself to
the premier. The two men had
long and friendly chat.

his views on the debts question in the
financial proposals which he will make

he may allude to the subject before

with M. Caillaux's views indicate that

The field to be covered is broad
one because nearly every section of
Canada has some grievance involving
railway operation of rates. In British
Columbia there has been complaint
against the mountain differential
higher rates which railways claim
are due to the extra cost of mountain
construction and of moving trains
over difficult grades. In the maritime
provinces the claim is put forward
that the Canadian National line from
Montreal and Quebec to the Atlantic
was built as part of the confederation
agreement, and that rates which will
permit free commercial intercourse
between Nova Scotia, New Brunswick
and Prince Edward Island and the
central provinces must be maintained
on this section of the road.
Throughout the investigation the
commission will be restricted in only
one particular. 1t must not permit
maximum rates on grain and flour
moving eastward to be higher than
those set by the Crows Nest Pass
agreement, an old agreement enter
ed into between the government and

Newly assessed valuations of real es-
tate for Arlington County. compiled
by Assessor Ashton c. Jones, becom-
ing effective in 1926, amount to $f7.-
a73.62o. These figures are an increase
Of 1892 ,395 over the assessed values

Jones' work on the assessment will he
completed when he turns over copies
Of the report to the auditor of public
accounts. the clerk of the court and
the commissioner Of revenue. which
