(COnt1nued rom rage and others feel that. if the premise of German war guilt is repudiated, the entire structure of separations must fall.
 Such an eventuality could be ex- pected to have a potent effect on war debts owed to the United States since debtors among our former al- lies have insisted that what they pay must be adjusted on the basis of what Germany pays them in re- parations. The United States of- ficially never has accepted this point of view, holding that the two obligations were entirely distinct.
 Should 1t officially accept the Tansill repudiation of German guilt. it's position would be greatly strengthened.
 Tansiil's study never was present. ed as an official report on the ground that it was incomplete. It was prepared after senate adoption of a resolution of Senator Owen, dem, Okla, since retired. The reso- lution directed the library of con- gress to prepare an abstract of all available evidence on the causes of the war, and to report to the foreign relations committee by Feb- ruary l, 1926.
 On that date the library sent to the senate an extensive bibliography of works on war guilt, but asserted that full compliance with the resolu- tion was impossible unless congress set up a separate organization with adequate funds. The accompanying letter referred to Tansills survey, saying it would be submitted unoffi- cially to the committee when com- pleted.
 owen yesterday said he had seen Tansills survey and that 1t dis agreed with the thesis that Germany was responsible for the war. Borah said he had not seen the document. but understood it was as Owen said.
 Tansill, now professor of history at American university here, was surprised to learn his report had not been submitted to the senate. He said he had been told to send all copies of it to the librarian of con- cress. and was not permitted to keep one for himself.
 France Opposes Change
 Paris, June 10.-(UP)-The gov- ernment stood officially opposed to- day to any effort to call an interna- tional debts conference as a result of the Anglo German conversations at Chequers.
 Arisitide Briand, foreign minister, in announcing the ministrys oppo- sition to such a barley, also took occasion in the chamber of deputies publicly to warn Germany that na- toinalist demonstrations such as the recent parade of the steel hel- met organization "had grave reper- cussions in France"
 Questioned definitely on the Chequers barley and the steel hel- mets parade--a recent Breslau de- monstration was supposed to have been in favor of former Grown Prince Wilhelm's reported candidacy for the presidency of Germany Briand replied that he was strongly opposed to such an international debt conference as proposed.
 "If Germany or anyone else asks anything contrary to then interests of France, or contrary to the signed treaties and plans, France will an- swer 'Nov Briand said. "The Young plan for separations payments is fresh and recent. There is no ques- ton of its modification"
