REACHES STAGE
OF J0CKEYlNG
Payment Offer Made by
French Is Laid Before
Coolidge.
BY William j. LOsh

tNUtu EItSd CfUII iUFTESDON0PnI
WASHINGTON. Sept 25.--After
acquainting President Coolidge and
the Cabinet with the terms Of the
French proposal for funding the
s4,2OO,OO French debt. the American
debt-funding commission today made
a counter-proposal to Finance Min
lister Caillaux and his associates.
which from indications was disap-
pointing to the French.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
and his cabinet associates on the
commission, Secretaries Kellogg and
Hoover explained to Coolidge the ma
ture of the French offer, and it is
assumed they inquired how far the
commission should go in granting
the lenient terms the French ask.
The CaillauX proposal is regarded
by some members Of the commission
as unsatisfactory, but Mellon is hav-
ing it carefully studied by experts
in connection with the French ca
pacity to pay.
The negotiations have entered the
jockeying stage without loss of time.
According to good authorities the
Caillaux offer is as follows:
l. Consolidation of all categories
of debts into a lump SUMS, ,34O.-
6G6, ,377-the principal of The French
debt as carried on the treasury
books.
2. Payment of this principal over
sixty-twO years, with the first years
payment of $25,OOO,OOO, the second
year, $3O,O0O,OO0; from the third to
the tenth year, $45,OO0,O0O or $50
600, 900, and thereafter for fifty years
payments gradually rising to $780,
100000.
3. A provision insurlng that France
may seek revision of the terms of
any agreement if unforeseen condi-
tiOns adversely affect the future ca
pacity to pay.
