FRANCE WILL PUSH
DEBT PACT TO VOTE
Tells U. S.. However, Res
ervati0ns to Protect Cur
rency Are Likely.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, October 1.-THE French
government has informed the Amer
lean Government that 1t intends to
present the Washington debt agree
ment for ratification soon after the
Legislature reconvenes, perhaps
month hence but adds that it con-
siders ratification possible only II
the French Legislature pretiXes to
the agreement Il preamble contain
ing certain reservations.
The French government intends TO
leave the nature of these reservations
to the Legislature itself. but it is
known they will cover the sO-called
safeguard and transfer questions.
All this means that the French gov
ernment in urging ratification In
tends to make clear at the same
time that if the transfer of francs
into dollars makes the franc fall.
or if the German reparations pay
ments fall far below what is eX-
pected. France will be obliged tenn
porarily to suspend payments under
the Washington agreement.
The correspondents impression is
that ratification without reservation
at the present time is impossible
Even with reservations the fate of
the agreement in the Legislature is
uncertain. Much doubtless will de-
pend upon WashingtOn's attitude
toward the proposed reservations.
