NATIONAL VACCINE
OFFICE IS ROBBED
Alcohol and Cash Taken.
Manager to Learn Combina-
ton of BuiIt-in Safe.

When J. p. Parsons became manager
of the National Vaccine IL Antitoxir
Co, seven years ago, he was not told
the combination of the large built-ir
safe in the company Offices at 1915 Z
street, he told police today. He sci
about contriving a combination today
shortly after discovering that thieves
had pried open q thin guard door In
the night and made OF with about $50
in cash and three quarts Of grain
alcohol.
The company operates a diagnostic
laboratory for physicians and retailS
special milk. widely used in feeding
young children. Parsons told detectives
who investigated the robbery that ap-
proximately $1,000 in checks was not
disturbed and expressed the opinion
the thieves wanted the alcohol.
After gaining entrance through a
window opening on an alley directly
opposite an apartment house, the
thieves forced the thin door of the safe
ransacked the cash drawer and re-
moved q five-gallon container of alcohol
Three marks on the floor indicated
where quart bottles had been filled
from the container. It was left near
the safe, half full of alcohol, and a
small funnel nearby.
Parsons said he and his assistants
left the place at 6 O'Clock last night
having made deposits of most of the
available cash in the day. 1T hadn't
occurred to me to use the heavy guard
door on that safe" he remarked to the
detectives from headquarters. But I'll
get one now"

UJ-FHE ALLIED DEBTS.
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

The financial problems left over from
the war we're manifold, but Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon had been in ONCE
but q few weeks before he took steps
toward coping with them. Even while
he was engaged in launching the tax
reduction and economy measure, he also
took up the tremendous problem OF the
debts of the allies to the United States
On June 81. 1921, when he had been
in office less than four months. he ad-
dressed a letter to President Harding
inviting his attention to the situation
as it then existed 1t must be remem-
bered that there had been much agi-
tation OF plans to cancel the whole debt.
This suggestion had been made in the
glow Of satisfaction over the winning
Of the war. but with little attention
given the economic aspects of such n
proceeding. Mr.. Mellon knew that the
suggestion was unSound. He knew what
burdens this Nation was required to
shoulder and carry for many years.
With keen foresight. born of his long
blinking experience, he foresaw that our
own debt was Of such magnitude that
unless what Europe owed us could be
collected taxes would have to remain
high and the interest cost to the Treas
ury continue immense, with a resultant
depressing effect on the business of the
whole country.
In this connection it Is interesting to
note that in his address last Armistice
day President Coolidge declared that
before we have finished paying for the
war it will be evident that the United
States bore the heaviest expense and
that the ultimate war bill will not be
less than 100000, 000, 900.
Secretary Mellon also understood that
the allies had difficult Ynrnh1nNpz n r,aeat
and that the funding Of the debt would
have to be carried out in accordance
with q deltcately adjusted plan to pre-
vent decentralization abroad and In the
foreign exchanges. At that time, there
fore, MIR. Mellon told the President that
the debt Of approximately $4,000
100000 should be placed on a definite
basis. Several debtors were in arrears
with their interest. The evidences of
indebtedness which they had given on
receipt of the loans were in vague form
They were merely promissory notes and

Congress to beat it. For over three

FIRM DENIED AUTO
SEIZED WITH LIQUOR
Judge Schuldt's Ruling on Respon
Nbility for Violation Follows
Drivers Conviction.

A petition filed by the Manufacturers
Finance Co. for return of a certain
automobile seized from James Francis
Farley, convicted OF violating the ma
tional prohibition act, was denied by
presiding judge Of Police Court, Gus A.
Schuldt today. In a lengthy opinion
concerning the case, Judge Schuidt
decided the question as to whether or
not principal is responsible for the
act OF his agent in the sale of an auto
mobile to suspicious persons who are
liable to violate the national prohibit
ton act, and that holders of conditional
contracts Of sale, reServing title, are to
be considered as owner under the ma
tional prohibition act and not as a
lienor.
The decision followed conviction OF
Farley, who was driving an automobile
purchased by q complicated method
from local automobile sales organiza-
ton, and materially affects the return
of confiscated automobiles to finance
companies. According to the statement
Of facts, the car was purchased under
. conditional bill of sale which pro-
hibited the use of the car for tranepor-
tation Of liquor.

were payable on demand with no ac-
companytng contract or agreement for
retirement. Everybody knew that the
form "on demand" meant nothing.
Commission Created.
So II was Mr.. Mellon who made the
suggestion which led to the creation by
Congress of the World War Debt Com
mission. The President Immediately on
receipt OF the Secretary's letter wrote
to the chairman Of the finance COM
mittee of the Senate and the ways and
means committee Of the House asking
that the suggestion be complied with.
Appropriate legislation was immediately
introduced and on February Q, 1922, be-
came law. The act made the Secretary
OF the Treasury chairman OF the COM
mission.
The first action of the new body was
characteristic of Mr.. MELONS cautious
manner of approaching this touchy
subject. A resolution was adopted re-
questing the Secretary of State to in
form the debtor nations that the COM
mission had come into being and was
ready to receive proposals from them
looking toward the funding of the debt
No demand was presented at their
chancellories. They merely were in
vited to take the first step in suggesting
a way out of the dilemma.
The debtor nations responded by an
nouncing that they had appointed COM
missions to negotiate with the Ameri-
can body. France was the first to send
such representatives. a commission
headed by Jean v. Parmentier of the
French treasury, arriving in July, 1922.
1t very soon became plain that the
French government had no expectation
that the Parmentier commission would
reach any settlement. Its negotiations
consisted almost wholly of explaining
TO the American officials the financial
and economic position of France, her
utter exhaustion and inability to do
anything very constructive at that time.
U. 8. Meant Business.
M. Parmentier returned to Paris in
August thoroughly convinced that Mr..
Mellon was the last person in the world
to talk about debt cancellation. What
was of more Importance, the whole
world became aware that the United
States would be patient, but that it
meant business. The debts were to be

regarded a. distinct commercial obi
cations which must be met.
Great Britain next came forward,
represented by two Of her highest offi-
cials, Stanley Baldwin, then chancellor
Of the excheQuer, and Montagu G. Nor
man, governor of the Bank Of England.
With characteristic businesslike dis
patch these gentlemen met with the
American commission and in 0 few days
an agreement was reached. That was
in January, 1923. The British commits
sion returned Immediately to England
to obtain the sanction of the British
government on what they had done.
The terms of the agreement did not
fall precisely within the limits of the
act which had created the World War
Debt Commission. SO the agreement was
also submitted to Congress, which, at
the end of February, ratified 1t. The
British government agreed, and the
British debt, the largest of any foreign
debt to the United States, was def
nitely funded in the round sum of "a
500, 100000. with provision for ultimate
discharge through payments of interest
and amortization extending over pc
Rod of 81 years. It was the first debt
settlement. and was TO prove the model
for subsequent ones. Great Britain has
lived up to her agreement to the letter
IN Cne SIX years since.
Agree With Finland.
Then came Finland. the new republic
which had been carved out of the old
Russian empire as the result of the war
and the Russian revolution. BY May
the Finnish debt agreement had been
reached, but rs Congress was not in
session ratification awaited its next
sitting
It is interesting to note. in connection
with q rehearsal Of these long-drawn-
out debt-funding negotiations, that the
Republic of Cuba, a nation which
owed its independence to the United
States, and had borrowed $10,000.000 to
finance a part of its war costs, did not
offer any funding proposals, but came
forward with the money. On November
Is, 1923, the neighbor republic paid in
terest and principal in full on it's war
debt to the United States Cuba is
presumably in England, in order to
make this strikingly friendly gesture to
the United States,
During the following months all the
other debtors, who had not earlier come
forward either sent commissions which
entered into preliminary and tentative
discussions of capacity to pay, or gave
notice of their intention to do so. Ex-
ceptions were Armenia, Greece and
Russia, which at that time had no gov
ernments recognized by the United
States.
Mr.. Melons commission has now
concluded arrangements with all debt
ors with the exception of France and
Greece. Tentative agreements have
been negotiated with these countries,
but have not yet been ratified. Az the
result of the work of this commission
the United States had collected to the
end Of the last fiscal year a total of
