agreement by the French
parliament, a high Treasury
official said today.
Winston IL Silent
While Acting Secretary OF
Treasury Winston declined to be
quoted, a Treasury spokesman de-
clared Clemenceau, through the
letter, evidently was aiming at
the Poincare government and was
seeking to consolidate French rub
lie opinion against the agreement.
The Treasury reiterated that the
debt discussion was a closed book
with it, and said no reply to
Clemenceau would be forthcoming.
Battle Of Notes DepIored
The Treasury spokesman depre-
Gated the continuance of the bat.
tie Of statements" between Europe
and America on the debts, saying
no good to international relations
can be accomplished by agitating
the question in the press.
It was the opinion of this official
that Clemenceau's chief concern
was a slap at Poincare and the
policies he espoused. The two men
long have been enemies.
There was no effort at the
Treasury to minimize the i'm.
portance OF the letter in the effect
on the French public and parlia-
ment.
The Tiger has a wide appeal
among the French people, and any
opposition to the American debt al
