 INTEREST IN FRANC
Mellon, Morgan and Mackay
 Sail Together, However

New York, July IT P-European vacation trips of Secretary Mellon, J. p Morgan and Clarence H. Mackay, president of the Postal Telegraph company. beginning together today on the liner Majestic have aroused considerable speculation.
 The secretary's announced destin- alton was southern France. Monta- gu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, and Benjamin Strong governor of the New York Federal Reserve bank are in France, and are supposed to have been holding con- ferences in Antibes on means to halt the tumbling of the franc in the ln- ternational money markets.
 All three of the Americans sailing today insisted before their departure that they were merely going on va cations. One suggestion was that the treasury secretary might stop Tn England to confer with Gen. Lincoln c. Andrews, head of prohibition en- forcement, who is in London neso- tiating to curb smuggling of lquor into the United States.
 MT. Mackay is accompanied by hls son. John w Mackay and his son. in-law and daughter, MT. and Mrs Kenneth O'Brien. Mir. Mackay s other daughter, Mrs. Irving Berllh' and her song writer husband are now in Europe, where they have heen since a few weeks after the marriage that estranged Mrs. Berlin from her father. Mr. Mackays last statement indicated no change Tn ms attitude toward the Berlins.
 MT. Mellon said in Washington vesterday that France had gotten better terms from America In the settlement of her debts than rom any other creditor nation. He said that the agreement amounted 10 cancellation of the war debt ana all actual return only of advances made after the war. He explained that his remarks were occasioned by erroneous comparison made Tn me American press with the London agreement, ,
 Mir. Melons remarks were takeh in political circles as an answer 'o '' reports from Paris that the Ffehch government might seek modlhca1loh of inc American agreement It was recalled that previously MT. Mellon had said the question was out ot the hands of the debt commission or which he is chairman, and Tn tne hands of congress.
 MT. Strong, who left Antlnes yes terday to spend today in Par's on the way to London, said yesterday that he could not discuss a credi' for the bank of France until lhe French parliament had ratified the London agreement. MT. Norman n,ans to leave Antibes for Pafls Monday.
