The French government has re-

the United States which would
make possible payment of the

Three months ago the State De-

waive provisions of the most-fa-
Vored nations clause of the Trianon
treaty which would allow Hungary
to pay this country the 100000

advised that under the treaty If
she paid the United States the
whole sum due, she would nave to
do the likewise with France.
