RUSSIAN ID ANS
OPPOSED,

The American Government is op-
posed to lending any money to
Russia, either directly or indirectly
This was made plain today when
the State Department confirmed re-
ports from abroad that it had op.
posed plan by which w. Averin
Harrison. New York capitalist. had
proposed to finance German exports
to Russia. As a result of the State
Department. opposition, Hartman
has dropped the project.
It was pointed out at-the depart
meht that Russia is in the same
class with other debtor nations.
The Russian war debt, incurred by
the Czarist and Kerensky govern
n1ents, amounts to approximately
$500 zoo, 900, and until Russia takes
some definite action toward funding
this debt the State Department viii
frown upon any loans just as II
frowned upon loans to other Eu-
ropean debtors before they funded
their obligations.
In the Hartman case, it was pro-
posed to finance German exports to
Russia with American capital, thus
not. only indirectly loaning money
to Russia, but also promoting the
foreign trade of a friendly trade
competitor.
The State Department, OF course,
could not forbid the continuance CT
the project, but its disapprovaI was
sufficient to cause Hartman TO
drop the scheme.

T R { n c H DEBT
TALK BUM"
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

Literal amazement was expressed
by high Government officials here
today over the announcement IN
Paris by RaouI Peret, the French
finance minister, that negotiations
Tor the funding OF Frances four
bfllion-doIlar debt to the United
States are proceeding satisfactorily
and an agreement will be reached
and signed in eight days.
There have been no recent nego-
fiations. Nothing in writing has
been submitted by either the French
or the American Government SINCE
the CailIaux mission left Washing
ton. il was said by Treasury off,
Gals. and there has not been
meeting Of the Debt Funding Com
mission for several months.
Envoy Has Seen Mellon
Ambassador Berenger has seen
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon IN
Formally several times and discussed
the broad general principles OF the
debt issue, but there has been moth
ing in the conversations, according
TO Treasury officials, that would in
any way Justify the remarkable pre-
diction of N. Peret tha6 an agree
ment is to be reached in eight days.
NJ. Derrenger has not even seen
Secretary Mellon for month. The
Treasury head has been in Ber-
nnudd for three weeks, and only
yestef day returned to his desk.
Officials Amused
Treasury officials were incredu-
tous and amused at the Paris an
nouncement.
1T should say that NJ. Peret was
q little previous, at least" observed
Gerard B. Winston, Under Secre-
tary. Winston is also chairman
Of the Debt Funding Commission.
"I can't imagine the reasG2 for
such a statement unless it is de1
signed for home consumption.
commented another member of the
commission.
The position of the American
Government on the debt was de-
scribed as being precisely where it
was when the Callaux mission blew
up last October. At that time, the
Debt Funding Commission proposed
that Frame accept a five-year
truce in the debt negotiation,
pay $40, 900 900 a year during that
period, and at the end Of five years
resume negotiations toward per-
maneEt funding arrangement based
upon the principles of the British
settlement
