'SMOOT FOR STRICT
FRENCH DEBT PLAN
Cannot Have Liberal Terms
Granted Italy, He
Tells Senate.

Assurance was given by Senator
6moot in the Senate yesterday after
noon that France will not be given
terms as liberal AZ those accorded
italy in funding her war debt to the
United States. The chairman of the
Senate finance committee made this
statement in his opening speech on
the pending bill for ratification of the
Italian settlement.
When Senator Smoot had con
cluded Senator johnson of California
congratulated him upon the eXhaus-
tive presentation he had made of the
Italian financial situation. Senator
Johnson added however. that he
would not surrender his Judgment to
any of the distinguished individuals
mentioned by Senator Smoot. but
would decide his own course of ac-
ton.
Sees Problems Unlike.
In making his reference to the
French debt Senator Smoot said he
had heard n number of Senators say
that whatever settlement was made
with Italy would he made with
France. This. he said. was far from
the mark, because the two debt prob
lens could in no WAY be compared.
II want to assure Senators now
personally" he said. that no such
settlement ever will he made with
France as has been made with Italy,
Notwithstanding that England has
made n better settlement with Italy
than we ourselves have made.
Calls Italy'S Terms Best.
Only few Senators were in the
chamber at the time. and Senator
Smoot was not questioned on his
statement in urging approval of the
Italian settlement. He declared the
terms were the best that could he
made and represented the utmost of
Italy's capacity to pay.
1t would be better, he argued, to
collect the sum that Italy could pay
than to let the whole debt go by de-
fault.
Senator Johnson said that. while
listening to the Utah Senator's
speech. he anticipated suggestion
would he brought forward that I'VE
float another Liberty loan and give
the proceeds to Italy. He declared he
