COOLIDGE ADAMANT
Appeal Can in No Way Influence
II g. Attitude.

PLYMOUTH, VT, Aug. George
Clemenceau's appeal to President
Coolidge not to allow the French
debt to be treated only as monetary
transaction, can In no way influence
the attitude of the United States
Government toward the French
financial obligation to us, it was in.
dictated by a spokesman for the
President.
Although the President has not as
yet had official cognizance Of Glenn
enceau's letter, nor studied the docu-
ment in detail, he is said to take the
position that the debt settlement is
a closed issue so far as the United
States is concerned.
That position is in line with Mr..
Coolidge's policy of regarding the
debt funding commission as practi-
cally EXTINCT and possessing no
power to reopen negotiations that
have been closed.

SUES FOR ENTRANCE

Detroit Man Seeks to Get Man.
damus for Brother, Who
Is in Cuba.

Frank B. Kellogg, Secretary of
State; James j. Davis, Secretary of
Labor, and Harry T.. Hull, commits
Sioner of immigration, yesterday an
swered a rule to show cause recently
issued against them by the District
Supreme Court why mandamuS
should not be granted at the request
of Mauris Kaufman, a merchant of
Detroit, to bring his brother, Yankiel
Korczok, from Havana, Cuba, for a
temporary visit to the United States.
The officials tell the court that the
mandamus should be refused and as
sert that from examination of the evil
dence they have reached the decision
that korczok does not intend to seek
a temporary visit, but intends to re-
main permanently in the United
States. They point out that when he
left Poland for Cuba it was not his
intention to remain there. but he
was under the impression that after
years sojourn on that island he
would be entitled to enter the United
States.
Through United States Attorney
Gordon and Assistant United States
Attorney Rover, the officials say there
is no showing that the brother would
be allowed to return to Poland. Such
showing is necessary for temporary
visit, they say, as often a country
decides that one has lost his citizen
ship or is otherwise Objectionable and
will refuse to take him back at the
end of his visit.
The charge in the petition of kauf-
man that the Secretar.- of State and
the Secretary of Labor had conspired
to keep out aliens entitled TO adpis-
sion is asked to be stricken from the
record as s'impertinent and scandal
