ON DEBT PACT
PLEASES u. S.
Regard Money Settlement
as Wiping Out III viii
Between Nations.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Ameri-
can officials expressed pleasure to-
day over ratification of the Mellon
BerenRer agreement for refunding
Frances S4O00,OOO,OOO debt to this
country.
They regard this settlement as
wiping out a source Of Ill feeling
between the two nations which
fought side by side in the World
war
Coming closely after the promul-
cation Of the Kellogg peace pact,
the apparent willingness Of Russia
and China 10 settle their dispute
peaceably, and the action of Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover and Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald in sus-
pending construction in hope Of
reaching soon an adjustment of the
naval dispute. the French ratif1ca-
ton completed week Of great prog
ress in establishing good feeling
among the nations Of the world.
The United States government
has worked in especially close CO.
operation with the French govern
ment in recent months because of
the leadership taken by the two ma
tiOns in promoting the Kellogg peace
pact, and in the peace reminders
sent to China and Russia.
French ratification of the debt
settlement automatically will pre-
vent Andrew J. Mellon, secretary Of
the treasury, from presenting
5400 100000 in French government
bonds for payment next Thursday.
These bonds. which Mellon has in
the treasury vaults. were given for
war supplies which France bought
after the armistice. They we're to
expire Aug. /.
The French ratification has the
effect Of including the bonds in the
refunding Of the entire debt, which
is to be paid over a SiXty-tWo-year
period which started two years ago
after the agreement was signed.
More than s80.00O.0O0 already has
been paid by France under the
documents terms in advance of
ratification.
Ratification by the American con-
Erees, probably during the spe-
ciaI session which reconvenes in a
few weeks. was regarded as almost
certain today.
