DEBT PACT'S FATE
DUBIOUS IN FRANCE
Vote Of Confidence in BRAND
SO Marrow Ratification I'M
likely Until Fall.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.


BY Cable 70 The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS. July Conclusion early
today Of the great French financial
debates apparently sounded the death
kneli Of the Washington debt agree
nent, at least In It's present FORM All
parties expressed themselves as hos
tile to the agreement.
The order Of the day on which the
government finally won a majority,
by 2S9 to BAT with about 40 Austen
lions, carefully omits all mention OF
the debt agreement. Before winning
even this feeble majority, Finance
Minister Caillaux was obliged to tell
the Chamber Of Deputies he intends
to continue negotiations"
Parade WIN Be Held.
Under the pressure Of public opinion.
the government has been obliged 70
authorize the war veterans demon
stration scheduled for Sunday against
the debt agreement. A few days ago
the demonstration had been formally
forbidden.
Frenchmer1 OF all shades Of opinion
are afraid OF foreign financial aid.
They seem to believe the British and
American bankers are interested only
in reaping fortunes from Frances
disaster. Their idea Of the foreign
financial pilot" Is that the. foreign
bankers first would give credits and
then, after some time, would refuse
to renew the credits. that the gov
eminent would admit It was unable
10 reimburse the bankers and that the
latter then would get possession OF
the mines, railways and Industrial
shares at rate far below the real
value.
Opposed BY Socialists.
The governments final majority was
based upon the Left and Center. The
Right and the Socialists opposed It.
The opposition In both wings believes
that the government plan means new
imitation without assurance Of real
sterilization.
The opposition does not want for.
eign credits, and desires to force I'm.
provement in the value Of the franc
before sterilization. II adjournment
was less near, the fall Of the govern.
ment might be confidently expected
In the near future. But with adjourn.
ment close at hand, the chances are
that the government win show con
ciIiatory spirit and will retain q small
majority until Parliament adjourYlG
for the Summer, thus remaining In
power until next September.

ENERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
SECURITY OF PRINCIPAL.
By GEORGE T. HUGHES

Almost invariably the first question
asked about any proposed investment
Is whether or not ii is safe and what
Is meant is not whether the income is
assured, but whether the total amount
invested may be regained either on de
mand or at some future time. Now
this instructive recognition OF the pri-
mary Importance of safety OF principal
Is sound. 1t Is q point 10 which atten-
ton must always first be directed.
But safety Of principal does not
mean the same thing in every case.
If 4 sum of money Is deposited in the
savings bank safety means ability to
withdraw it at any time. In this case
what is involved IS the integrity of the
bank, the certainty that it Will not
fail. If money is loaned on real estate
and mortgage is taken, safety of
principal means the return OF the
money in fun when the mortgage falls
due, one, two or three or more years
hence as the case may he.
In the same way a bond which is
only piece Of a mortgage split up
into small parts so that il may be dis
tributed among a great many in
vestors, is safe as to principal when
the face value is sure TO be paid at
maturity The situation is not so sim
pie however, with a bond as ii is with
a mortgage on real estate held by a
single investor. Some bonds run a
great many years, some even are in
effect perpetual.
Now safety of principal with long
term bond may well include the ques-
ton Of ability TO sell some other In
vestor before maturity. In other
words, safety in this sense requires
more or less stability of market price
Liberty bonds are a good Illustration.
During the war every one bought Lib
critics at par, but two or three years
after the arniStiCe they could only be
sold in the market at a heavy dis
count So that when we ask whethe
a bond is safe something else beside
prompt payment at maturity is infer
entially concerned, and that is the
market outlook.
When stocks are bought this market
factor Is still more important, for
stocks have no maturity. They repre-
sent partnership in the enterprise, and
the only way OF regaining the princi-
pal is to sell at the market price, what
ever that may happen to be. 1t is plain
then that security of principal is not
the simple factor that II seems to be
at first sight.

BUTTER MARKET STRONG.
Distributors Change From Storage
to Fresh Products

to Fresh Products
CHICAGO, January % CP.-Thc
butter market for the week opened
with the nervous, unsettled condition
which has prevailed for the past sew
eral weeks, still much in evidence. On
Monday and Tuesday the markets
were all easy and unsettled, with buy
ing interests barely sufficient to take
care of the new arrivals of fresh
butter. There also appeared to be q
dition of the markets among both re-
ceivers and jobberS. After several
weeks of sluggish trading and gen
eral lack of confidence with no def
mite trend perceptible, the sudden
strengthening of the market on We'd
nesday came as a decided surprise to
almost all who have been following
the situation.
AS matter of fact, while many OF
the dealers mad some confidence in the
situation, there was considerable hest-
ancy about following the market to
higher levels. However, buyers for
ronsumptive needs had permitted
stocks to reach a minimum, and, sens
Ing the advancing prices. began operat-
ing more extensively and anticipated
.uture requirements to some extent.
The sharp advances may, to a GER
ain extent, be attributed to the fact
that many distributors of butter have
changed from storage butter to fresh,
thus creating q larger demand for
treSh butter

in the distributive business which the
merchandising corporations are doing
on a large scale with the turnover
big and price schedules moderate.
Investment on Increase.
Money rates have not come down
any further, but the offerings at their
low figures are larger. This means
an investment surplus going into the
securities of recognized merit and
gradually raising their prices. Some
of the Liberty bonds and the Treas
ury loans are selling at the highest
of the year. Corporate issues of the
first rank are in the same condition.

any French ministry will have the
courage to go before the public with
a program for extra tax burdens.
Commodity Markets Mark Time.
The commodity markets arc in a
waiting attitude. They are trying to
get clearer line on the outcome o.
the new crop planting. The ffuctua-
tions in cotton have been the smallest
of the year. Wheat spectators are no
longer sure of their position They bid
prices up in December on the idea
that the world supply was going to
turn out deficient. But with the in
creased buying power of Europe this
conjecture is no longer sure. Wheat
prices during the last few DAYS have
been coming down and the reason is
hat the grain trade has a different
conception of the relation between de.
mand and supply than 1t had g. month
ago.
Market Does Not Respond.
The stock market was looking for.
ward all through the Autumn and
Early Winter to the announcements
of capital split-ups and dividend in
creases as the big factor on the side
Of rising prices. These announcements
have been made in a number of cases
during the last month and they have
had no effect upon the market.
Naturally, Wall Street draws the
conclusion that all this favorable news
has been anticipated sufficiently.
