II France Refuses

Should France fail to ratlry the
debt pact, the United States is in a
position to demand s4o7 900, 900 from
the debtor country in 1929.
After the war France bought
$407 900, 600 worth Of war supplies
from America and this. commercial
debt falls due in 1929. At present
1t is embodied in the debt agreement,
bat should this pact not be ratified,
the French would have to pay up
when the note fell due instead Of
funding it with the other debts over
sixty-two years.
Ratification Of the Franco-Ameri-
can debt agreement and a settle
ment with Greece would practically
settle all of Americas outstanding
war credits.
Ar1nenia's Debt Cancelled !
The treasury has wiped Ar.
menia's obligation Off It's books, as
It is no longer a country since the
United States does not recbgriize
Russia that nations debt cannot be
the subject of any immediate &C.
ton.
Austria has a ftwenty-year mora
tcrium, but is expected to open
negotiations for funding IT'S debt
within the next few years. Nicara,
qua is paying of It's debt at the
rate of $6,000Ha month.
