WAR DEBT TALK
Being REVIVED
France Reported Planning TO
Renew Discussions

Paris, Feb. IS (UP)-The French
government today reported to have
initiated discussion with the United
States looking toward a temporary
solution of the problem of, the
French war debt.
Following the announcement that
France, regardless OF non ratification
OF the Anglo French debt funding
agreement, would pay England the
initial payments as provided in the
unratified agreement, it was under
stood that discussion had begun with
the United States for adoption Of
similar procedure.
France, according to the report
current here, proposed or would
propose that the question of ratifca-
ton OF the Mellon Berenger debt
funding agreement would be ad-
Journed for the present although
France would pay the United States
this year .sS0.O00,OO0. which was the
sum stipulated as the Arst annuity in
the MellonBerenger pact. The Poin-
care government in France has not
dared submit the agreement for par
Elementary ratification. as it was al
most inevitable that it would be de-
feated at the time it was completed.
1t was stated here that France
now is in advance in her payments
TO the United States as on February
S10,000.000 was paid and this rep
resented half the annuity due the
United States with respect to that
part Of the French debt contracted
in the purchase OF war materials and
supplies left in France by the A. E.
L.
To realize an agreement similar to
that which has been made with Eng
land. France and the United States
would have to have an understand
ing before June Is. on which date
the sS0,0Oo,000 mentioned in the
Mellon Berenger agreement would
be due.

port OF the New Haven County Bar
association today at a special meet
ing of that body. The bill was in
troduced at the instigation OF a spe-
cial committee of the county Ear
and is said to have come through
the results of an investigation by
the committee.
Strong protest against any legisla-
ton that would increase the costs
taxable in civil legislation was voic-
ed by Charles S. Hamilton, dean Of
the County Bar association when a
vote was called for on the matter
OF supporting the proposed increase
in judiciary fees from IS to SIS.

Objection Dismissed by
Bankruptcy Referee

Bridgeport, Feb. is P0Referee
in Bankruptcy John Keogh in q
memorandum OF decision today dis
missed the objection Of \ Attorney
Clifford b. Wilson, trustee of the
bankrupt National Grain company,
OF this city against claim OF the
Maryland Guaranty company OF
Baltimore for S117,134.49.
Attorney Wilson contended the
Maryland company's claim was I'M
lawful inasmuch as 1t arose out Of
usurious transactions with the local
company. A rate OF II and is per
cent charged the National Grain for
moneys loaned, was unlawful, Attor-
ney Wilson stated in his objection.
In his decision Judge Keogh finds
that the collection Of interest at a
rate so high as to be usurious in
this state is not usurious under the
laws OF Delaware. where the Mary
land Guaranty company was incor-
porated. under the laws OF Mary
land where its principal place Of
business was located, or under the
laws OF New York and New Jersey
where the notes were made payable.
