DEPUTIES APPROVE
FRENCH DEBT PACT
Mellon erenger Treaty Is
Ratified by Majority of
Eight Votes.

the Treasury Andrew w. Mellon an
adjustment Of the French war debt,
France had paid the United States
ION account" up to November IS. 1928.
$82,s51,l71. A total of E1s,000,000 had
been paid to England on the same
basis.
Under the Mellon -Berenger agree
ment, France agreed to pay $4.025,-
900, 900, of which $685., 10000 is ac-
crued interest. The first two annuities
were to be of $30,O00,O00. increasing
to $4,000, 900 In the seventeenth year
and continuing until the last payment
in the sixty-second year of $ll7,675,-
900.
The American Congress had ap-
proved q measure whereby II the war
debts settlement was ratified by August

stocks purchased by France might
come under its funding provisions. II
not, the sum Of about $500. 100000 was
due the United States on August J.,
1929.
Some advocates Of ratification had
held this as a club over the heads of
the opposition. It will probably be sew
eral days next week before the upper
House goes through the motion of ex-
pressing its sentiments, which are gen.
orally regarded as emphatically in favor
of ratificatio but the August buga-
boo ceased this morning to disturb the
government financiers. The much-de-
bated reservations which members OF
the chamber advocated in the end came
only to the recommendation that the
government arrange to collect German
payments of reparations to cover Its
debts to the allies.
Both Sides Satisfied.
When the vote was finally announced
with its slim ma jority of eight for the
government there was an amusing scene
as both winners and losers appeared
happy. Both sides applauded the win
ners because they won and the losers
because they had made such q good
howing. The only fireworks OF the
night session came at the opening. AS

could get down to business.
Foreign Minister BRAND took the
helm when the final issue came and
made ratification a matter OF conf

Ratification of the French war debt
by the French Chamber Of Deputies
was received In Washington last night
with some qualification, although the
action had been expected.
The agreement providing for the pay.
ment of the $4,025 ,00O, 900 war debt of
France has yet to be ratified by the
American Senate. and whether 1t will
be taken up in the extra session re-
converting August 10 or will be held
over until the regular session In De-
cember has not been decided by the
administration leaders.
Negotiated three years ago by the
United States Debt Commission headed
by Secretary Mellon and by a French
Ambassador Berenger. the agreement is
the last Of the war debts to be settled.
Ratified by House.
The American House of Representa-
tives ratified the Mellon Berenger set
Element more than two years ago, but
the Senate refused to take 1t up until
France had approved it. Not until re-
Gently did the French Parliament even
begin consideration of the settlement.
The French war supplies debt to this
country of $400, 100000 falls due on
August /. This debt is accounted for
in the 62-year settlement provided by
the Mellon Berenger agreement. but II
that settlement had not been ratified
by France this country would have
called for Its s40O, 1000. 900 next month.
On the closing day Of the session
last month both the House and the
Senate adopted a resolution authorizing
President Hoover to defer the $500 ,000,-
600 war supplies debt payment pro-
vided France in the meantime should
ratify the Mellon Berenger agreement.
While that resolution was not
formally enrolled because the House
adjourned before the Speaker could af-
fix his signature, Secretary Mellon said
it was considered that 1t empowered
President Hoover to authorize the
postponement.
81 Years Allowed.
The tremendous task Of settling
Americas debts with its numerous war
allies was brought to a close when
Ambassador Berenger and Secretary
Mellon reached the agreement for the
French debt payment. That agreement
was similar to all others. allowing
France So years to meet her obligations.
France was the last nation to come
to terms with America. Her first at
tempt failed when Finance Minister
Caillaux undertook the mission. Later
Ambassador Berenger resumed nego-
tiations. Considerable opposition IS
anticipated In the Senate to the Mel
lon Berenger agreement on the ground
that 1t does not provide an adequate
payment to this country. but admins
tration leaders are confident Of
approval.

Buried deep In work at the end of
its hrst week. the Federal Farm Board
passed UP the half holiday enjoyed BY
other Government workers to 90 ahead
with its task Of organization.
The Florida fruit emergency caused
by the fruit fiyni the first and only
specific proposition to gain the atten-
ton OF the board. The Floridians were
told to get all State agencies together
on the question of relief for marketing
and to reappear on Monday.
Pending further consideration Of the
Florida situation. the board tackled
again It's problem Of determining a
general policy for the uplift of agricul-
ture and for handling the $4,000, 900
ct It's disposal for loans.
Restrictions on Loans.
The board has decided that all loans
must be to cooperative marketing agen-
cies. No loans are to be made until the
usual avenue Of credit-the banks and
the Governments intermediate credit
nstitutions-have been exhausted.
Because It must deal directly with
cooperate marketing agencies. the
board has sent word to American
farmers to organize. Only about 2,OOO,-
900 Of the 100000 farmers are now
in the cooperative associations of the
various commodities.
1t appears likely that the California
grape industry will be among the first
to set up a sterilization corporation to
take charge of marketing the crop
which natures next Fall. Lloyd Tenny.
vice president of the California Vine
yardists' Association. will appear before
the board Tuesday. to present plans for
the sterilization corporation.
Further Orga nization.
The farm relief act contemplated the
organization Of these corporations by
the cooperative marketing associations
and producers as a means of central
ling marketing plans. Afte; the forma-
ton Of the sterilization corporations
advisory councils are to be selected for
each commodity. These councils will

GIVES HINTS ON
STARTING COLD MOTOR

To many automobile owners, "cold
weather driving" and "hard starting
are synonymous.
1t is true that an engine does not
start as easily in Winter as in Sum-
mer, but little care on part of the
owner will go long way toward
minimizing the difficulty, Chevrolet
Motor Company engineers point out.
Since the inception of the Chevrolet
car more than eighteen years ago,
company engineers have been apply
ing themselves to the problem of
easier starting.
Making use of the "cold room" ia
cilities Of the General Mortors re-
search laboratories and working for
hundreds of days in zero weather at
the General Motors proving ground,
Chevrolet technical men have been at
lacking the "cold motor" problem for
many years.
In considering the case of the car
that is difficult to start in cold
weather, Chevrolet engineers call at
tention first to the rather obvious
fact that an engine in good condition
will perform all its functions, includ-
ing starting, more satisfactorily than
one that is out Of adjustment.
The principal parts which have
direct bearing on the starting of an
engine are: Battery, starting motor,
carburetor, spark plugs, ignition sys-
tenn and valves.
AS the efficiency Of the battery is
materially reduced in cold weather,
it should be given great consideration.
If the electrical system is weak, com
plete combustion cannot be obtained,
therefore, before the start of winter,
it is good preventive insurance to
have some reputable electrical station
check over the battery, spark plugs
and entire ignition system.
The starting motor very seldom
causes trouble.
The carburetor must be adjusted
properly for the winter and choke
and throttle controls connected prop
erlv.
The spark plugs are equipped with
two electrodes set in such manner
that the electric current must jump
across a small gap from one to the
other. In making this Jump, a spark
occurs. 1t is this spark that ignites
the mixture of gasoline and air in
the combustion chamber of the cylin-
der. The size of the gap between the
electrodes affects the type of spark
produced. It is, therefore, important
that this gap should be inspected for
proper adjustment.
Obviously the spark plugs should
be cleaned; and the terminals of the
spark plug wires firmly attached. If
the plugs have been in use 10000
miles they should be replaced.
The ignition system. including all
wiring and terminals should be
checked at the beginning of winter,
particular attention being paid to the
distributor timing and to condition of
the contact points.
If the valves do not seat properly,
a leakage of compression occurs re-
sulting in incomplete combustion
which hinders starting and also tends
to foul the spark plugs.
Attention to these suggestions will
eliminate your starting troubles this
winter and cut down the wear and
tear on your nerves as we'll, accord
ing to the Chevrolet engineering d.
vision.
