come of the first active effort to bring
the controversy into the courts for a
decision.
Capt. Jim Daniels. resident of the

steading, "Capn Jim" yesterday set
out to build himself a shack on the
territory which guards of Barron G..

him and carried him off to jail. The
prisoner was charged with tres
passing.
Gov. Martin is being looked to by

PLANES TO TAKE CROP CENSUS

of the high altitude is the amount of

PRECEDENT DENIED
IN BELGIAN DEBT
Plan No Basis for French or
italian Agreements, Cool
idge Holds.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SWAMPSCOTT. Mass, August 20.
The Belgian debt settlement, In
President Coolidge's opinion. does not
set a precedent for refunding agree
ments still to be worked out with
France and Italy.
The agreement negotiated with Bel
giums it was officially stated at White
Court today. has nothing whatever to
do with impending settlements with
other nations. In working out a re-
funding agreement with Great Brit
ain the American Debt Commission
established and Congress approved,
according to the Presidents view, the
principle that the basis of settlement
With each and every debtor was abil-
ity ia pay.
That was the basis for the settle
ment with Great Britain and with
Belgium, it was declared, and will be
the principle followed by the Ameri-
can commissioners in negotiating with
the French and Italian missions. 1t
also was made clear that the Presi-
dent believes that this basis is not
varied IN any instance by the terms
OF the Versailles treaty or any other
agreement attempted or made.
With regard to nations which have
not settled their obligations. the Presi-
dent takes the position that the debt
commission should wait and see what
they propose, listen to their reasons
for more lenient terms than those ac-
corded Great Britain and then deter
mine in what measure they should be
granted.
As for Belgium, President Coolidge
holds that the kingdom was in a diff
ferent situation with regard to the
war than the other allies. AS a neu-
tral, he feels, Belgium was caught
in the conflict in a way that appealed
to the sympathy of the American
Government and public, and that there
was desire in the United States to
grant Belgium as liberal debt funding
terms as possible.

The people of this area. Mr.. Kim

| for a great metropolitan district for
the National Capital, TO include all
of Arlington County This plan, he
said has attracted widespread inter
est and universal approval This IA
vor has not been incurred because
the plan includes the building of a
railroad and the encouragement of
industrial development, he said. but
because a beautiful and artistic de
velopment has been promised as the
objective of the sponsors of the

in seeing the successful operation of
the regional development plan the
mere suggestion of such a project is
like having great. black, clawed paw

The promoters of this railroad
would make a dumping ground of Ar

would be a detriment to them, he
said. Clarendon can be depended on
TO help them TO block its establish

No Benefits to be Seen.
Other speakers stated that they
could not see where Arlington County
would benefit by the project unless it
was looking. for industrial develop
ment. The promoters, it was pointed
out, had made the claim that the rail-
road would have a tendency TO lower
the cost of living, but it was prettily
generally agreed that about the only
thing that it would cheaper would be
land, in the eyes of home seekers.
