By the Associated Press.


PARIS, July Z. frances great
mistake In the Washington debt
agreement was her acceptance Of
such astronomical figures without
safeguard and transfer clauses, Henry
Franklin- Bouillon, former minister of
missions abroad. told the Chamber Of
Deputies today.
His statement was made in the
course of a strongiy-worded protest
against the governments demand for
ratification OF the agreement nego-
tiated by Ambassador Berenger.
The nature of the debt should be
discussed as well as the figure, M.
Franklin Bouillon continued. He
cited the alleged opinions of "a num-
Der of American Senators" to the eff
feet that America did not enter the
World War on behalf OF the allies,
but on her own account.
Says Sentiment Has Changed.
Sentiment in America has changed
since the war. he declared. adding
that both former Senator Kenyon
and Senator Smoot- have expressed
themselves once In favor Of canceila-
ton of Indebtedness.
When the Italian and French debt
agreements were made, he went on;
America had failed to take into ac-
count the relative devastatiOns OF the
two debtor nations. He remarked that

Premier BRAND replied that the

thus examine them most carefully.

Unusual Phases of CushnOc
And Kennebec Concerns Bid
in By New Corporation-Did
SS,OOO,00O Business From
1922 to Present Year-Half
Million to Be Spent in I'm
prOvements to Include Great
er Capacity

The property and assets of the
Cushnoc and Kennebec Paper Com
panies which corporations have been
bankrupt since January 1922 were on
Friday bid in by the Cushnoc Paper
Corporation, a recently formed cor
poration consisting of the creditors
of the two bankrupt companies. The
Cushnoc Paper Corporation was the
only bidder at the sale. which was
held at the office of the Cushnoc
Company and was conducted by
Frank d. True of Portland and Leon
ard Pierce of Portland, who with Ed
ward Frye of Harrington have acted
as trustees of the bankrupt compan-
les
The Cushnoc Corporation was
formed with this purpose in mind, in
order that the creditors might real
ize something upon their claims. This
case is unique in the history of the
bankruptcy court in that, whereas
trustees usually are appointed to
close out bankrupt concern, this
oile mas continued III operation since
June 1922, doing over $4,000, 900 in
business since that time and having
an average weekly payroll of $4,000.
The Cushnoc Corporation has al
ready turned over stock amounting
to $1,034,000 in exchange for the
claims of the creditors, who thus be-
come stockholders of the new cor
poration There were in all about
$1,0S4,0 600 in unsecured claims. The
new corporation will continue to OPP
crate the mill in the future. the new
board of directors being. Walter S.
Wyman of Augusta, president and
treasurer. Blaine s. Niles of Augusta.
f. 7. Wilkinson of New York City,
Hugh White of New York City, and
f. S. Bagley of Augusta.
About 100000 is being expended
by the Cushnoc Corporation for i'm
provements in the mills, which will.
it is expected, result in an increase
in output from the present capacity
of about, 100 tons of news print a
day to about lao tons. This includes
the installation of a new paper ma
chine and the building of finishing
room together with the installation
OF a new boiler.
