RESERVATIONS
Times staff Photo

The American Government will
accept no reservations 10 Frances
ratification of the Mellon. Berengsr
debt agreement-at least, no reserva,
vations that make French payments
to the United States contingent upon
Germany's reparations payments to
France.
Administration officials were
quite positive on this point today
while expressing qualification at the
belated steps which, the Poincare
government is taking to obtain par
liamentary APPROVAL Of the three-year-
old pact.
The expectation now is that
France will ratify the agreement
considerably in advance of August
/ and thus escape having to pay
$500, 900, 900 in cash on the date for
the purchase of surplus A. e. F..
stocks. The war stocks debt, under
the general debt accord, is merged
into the greater war debt Of some
$4,000, 90, 900 payable over 81 years
at very low interest.
There is considerable curiosity
here, however, and some concern
over the threat in Paris to ratify
with reservations" OF course. a
thousand and one reservations could
be attached to the ratification so
long as they were not attached d.
rectly to the pact itself. But any
attempt to insert a proviso in the
agreement to the effect that France
will pay the United States as long
as Germany continues to pay
France will be promptly and firmly
rejected by Washington. On that
point State Department policy and
Senate policy are one.

Ever since their arrival here. the

SUGAR BOUNTY
OFFERED FOR
TARIFF

A tentative proposal for
paying a bounty to American
sugar producers was injected
today into the congressional
war over sugar tariffs.
Senator w. n. McMaster na) cf
South Dakota announced that the
bounty plan was being considered
on Capitol Hill as q substitute both
for the flat rate Of $40 on Cuban
sugar. adopted by the House. and
the tentative sliding scale az
tariffs, favored by some adrninistras
ton leaders. McAfaster declared
the bounty proposal would help
American producers directly and aG
cost to the consuming public Of
only one.sixth the cost Of the pro.
posed tariff increase.
Looks Like Fight
Democratic opposition was voicsd
against the plan by Senator Pat.
Harrison 3D. of Mississippi. He.
declared Congress should not pick
out the sugar industry for special
protection when it had refued to
pay an indirect subsidy to other
agricultural products, through rejecs.
ton Of the debenture.
In some quarters, McAEaster'R
Statement was taken to indicate the
Insurgents win stage a real battle
against any increase in sugar tariffs
and in favor Of the revised export
debenture farm relief plan. They
may propose inclusion Of the sugar
industry In the debenture In such q.
way that the bounty would be paid
directly to the producer and not
upon exports-in as much as the
United States imports five-sixths Of
it's sugar supply.
McMaster meanwhile pointed out
| that the increase in sugar tariffs,
adopted by the House. would cost
the American people about $50, 000..
600 q year in higher prices for
sugar.
Would Cost Less
The sugar tariff question Is
very vex1ng problem said McMas-
ter. The present sugar tariffs
| were intended to stimulate the
! American sugar-producing industry,
but for some reason, failed to ac-
complish that purpose. There is no
guarantee that higher rates win Be
successful.
There are some economic stu.
dents who believe that a bounty to-
the producer would solve the pro-
ducer's problem without adding
enormous financial burdens to the
American public. AS we produce
but one-sixth of Z the amount Of
sugar consumed in this country, q
bounty OF one and one.hah cents o.
pound would cost only one-sixtha
as much as an increase in the
tariff from 1.76 to 2.40 cents huns
dred pounds, as has been approved
by the House.
THE question Is so perplexing
that am not committed to any
plan, but hope the bounty will
be discussed when the bill II de.
bated in the Senate"
