PARIS DEBT PACT
REVISE OPPOSED
Smoot Takes Issue With Tar.
dieu Statement Old Agree
ment Is Dead.

There is no disposition in Washing
ton to change the basis Of the French
war debt agreement, Senator Smoot Of
Utah, who helped draw it up, said to-.
day in commenting on the publication
of the views Of Andre Tadieu of
France, who is quoted as saying the
Mellon-Berenger pact is as good as
dead.
Tardieu, a former French cabinet
member, in an interview in the maga-
zine the Nations Business, the official
organ Of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, predicted that a
new agreement must be drawn up if
the debt were to be finally liquidated,
but Mr.. Smoot said many believed
even the present terms too liberal.
THAT may be the attitude of Tar
dieu," he said, but / cannot believe
t represents the attitude of the French
nation. Some Frenchmen, for politi-
cal reasons, may declare themselves
for reputation, but will not believe
that the French people will approve
it., at least until there is some action
taken by the French government.
Burden ON Taxpayer.
"The attitude Of Tardieu is un.
thinkable. and certainly can be of no
service whatever to France. There
is no disposition here to change the
present basis of the settlement. I have
no doubt that Congress would approve
the present plan OF settlement. al.
though there are a great many people
who believe it is altogether too liberal
and places an uncalled.for burden
upon the American taxpayer"
settlement of the French debt is still
as remote as before the conferences
last year between representatives of
the United States and French govern.
ments, according to Tardieu. A new
debt agreement will have to be nepo.
tlated to replace the Mellen- -Berenger
agreement If the debt is to be finally
hquldated, M. Tardieu believes.
NO French government will ever
take the responsibility Of binding
France for 62 years Of debt nav
ments," M. Tardieu declares in an in.
tervlew published in the current issue
OF the Nations Business. He insists
tnat France regards the debt as a part
OF Americas contribution to the war.
Agreement Is Dead"
"Our people would never understand.
our Parliament would never approve"
ne declared. THE debt agreement is
dead"
Tardieu analyzed the causes of mis-
understandings between the United
states and France and placed a large
share of the blame upon Americas IS
wonderful assurance that YOU alone
know what is right" This assurance
was based upon worship Of "worldly
goods" he said, and that Americans
easily forgot that European conditions
are so different that Americas greed
of success is inapplicable across the
Atlantic.
He contended Frances error has
been in the conduct of her policies with
too much sentimentality. and "know-
| ing that Americans respect success.
the French have done everything to
make believe they are wasters and in.
efficient. In fact, he added, Frances
policy could not have been more un.
fortunate had she purposely endeav.
ored to lose Americas friendship.

GENEVA, July 26.-"We might as
we'll pack up and go home II this is
true" said a member of the American
delegation today, commenting on the
report from London that the British
delegates are returning to the naval
conference, after meeting the British
cabinet with a proposition to limit
1O, ,0OO-ton cruisers and leave the pow
ers to build at will under 10000 tons.
Extending the limitation of capital
ships to include 10,000-ton cruisers
without extending the limitation to
other craft would have the effect OF
maintaining the present British sea
supremacy along the lines which Great
Britain feels it needs and would limit
American construction in vessels
America really needs.
This proposal, if true. would prove
advantageous to Great Britain, ena-
bling her to use small cruisers from
her numerous bases as well as vast
fleet of swift merchantmen which are
easily capable Of carrying six'inch
guns. The proposal would limit Amer.
ica's effective commerce defense ships
to 10.000-ton cruisers.
It ascertain proposal to limit only
10,000-ton cruisers and leave each
power free to build smaller cruisers
would not meet with the approval of
the American delegation, and the
packing of grips would begin. How
ever, it is not certain that this is the
proposal the British delegates are
bringing from London.

HOPE FOR ALTITUDE
RECORD SHATTERED
Preliminary Tests Show
Champion Went Only $4,000
Feet Before Fall.

Although Lieut.. Carlton c. Cham
pion's observations indicated that he
had attained an altitude of 47,00O
feet on his flight over Boiling Field

Of Standards experts, who at noon
today were completing celebration
tests on the one barograph which the
Navy flyer brought undamaged to
earth, declared that no official world
record had been established.
While no formal report was forth.
coming from the Paragraph tests,
Bureau of Standards officials declared,
"It can be said definitely that no
world record was SET" and that COM
pleted tests indicated that the greatest
altitude reached by Lieut.. Champion
did not exceed $4,000 feet.

In celebrating the one Paragraph
which was brought to earth intact by
the flyer in a dive during which he
fought four separate fires, the bureau
experts subjected the instrument to
the same pressure and the same tenn

peak of Lieut.. Champions climb into
the sky. The tests were being com
pleted at noon today and the formal
findings will be made known tomor
row morning. the bureal officials said
While the Bureau of Standards went
about it's work of celebrating the baro
graph for which he staked his life
to prove he had reached unattainet
heights, Lieut.. Champion remained
at Annapolis today.
With his faculties impaired by tht
loss of oxygen at the pinnacle of hi!
climb early yesterday, Lieut.. Cham
pion successfully undertook to lane
mis- plane rather than to abandon tht
ship and come to earth himself witt
L parachute. Such course, while per
haps safer for himself, would have
shattered his hopes of setting an of

the planes carry. In the wild descent

Lieut.. Champion based his chance:
