DEBT FUNDING SOON
IS COOL|DGE'S GOAL
Wants to Present Plans for
All Allies to Congress at
Coming Session.
by DAVID LAWRENCE.

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July 13.-
President Coolidge hopes to be able TO
present to the next session of Con-
gyess, which meets in December. a
funding of all outstanding debts owed
the United States by the principal
allied countries.
This is the objective toward which
American diplomacy is working. now
that the Secretary of State, Frank
Kellogg, has had a long conference on
the subject with the Chief Executive.
Belgium is expected to settle first,
then France and then Italy, with set
Elements about the same time from
Czechoslovakia, Lithuania and some
of the other countries.
Two outstanding ideas now have
been conveyed to the European debt
ors as the irreducible minimum of
American terms:
No Reduction on Principal.
First. there Wilt be no reduction on
the principal The sacredness of in
ternRtional obligation = indeed. the
sacredness of contracts-is involved in
a fulillment by the allies of the pledge
they made to repay the United States
when the sums were borrowed.
Second, reduction in the amounts
of interest due and the interest rate
is the only fexibility which the United
States can possibly offer as an answer
to the plea of the allies that ability
to pay should be taken into consid-
Grafton by their creditor, the United
States.
The time for jockeying. however. Is
over. Delay will not get better terms
All the interested governments now
know that. They also have been told
plainly that if they come to an agree
ment with America at once their
chances of being given favorable con-
sideration on interest reduction will be
better than if they delay.
Good Will Involved.
Thus every effort is being used to
persuade the foreign governments
that they had best make their settle
ments between now and the next ses-
sion Of Congress. 1t is pointed out
that Congress will be in a better mood
to approve debt agreements if they
are presented in group than if each
is taken up singly and too great
variation in terms is sought.
There is also a measure of good will
involved in the willingness of the
