OCHS SAYS FRANCE
ONLY DEBT PLAN FOE
Publisher Declares Rest of Europe
Enthusiastic About Hoover
Proposal.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 1.-Adolph S.
Ochs, publisher Of the New York Times,
returned today from a trip to Europe
declaring President Hoover's timely
proposal for years holiday in the
payment of intergovernmental debts
was enthusiastically acclaimed and en-
dorsed everywhere except in France
where the fear of Germanys recovery
in strength and power is an obsession
that pervades all classes and political
parties"
France" Mr.. Ochs said, has the
largest army in the world-about five
million-and also the best of modern
military equipment. She is in an i'm
pregnable financial position. ."
1T seems to be the policy of France
to be prepared to take care of herself II
she cannot be assured by England and
the United States of security from
aggression" Mr.. Ochs continued. "All
this is causing doubt and suspicion
toward France and creating some ill
will throughout the world that IS be-
coming quite articulate and disturbing
to the sincere friends of France in
other countries"
The publisher said he was greatly i'm
pressed by the fortitude with which
Europeans are adjusting themselves to
economic conditions. There is apparent
ly more gloom in the United States. he
added. where there Is less cause for 1t.

Reservations Necessary.

some misunderstanding. Public opinion
was deceived. If the publication of
President Hoover's letter was a little
abrupt 1t was solely to avoid divulga-
tions.
I'VE never have been the victims of
any maneuver. The country ought to
know that, however that may be, we
made reservations called for by our
special situation and the importance Of
those reservations must not be ignored
for they are real and effective. In
making them we are conscious of hav-
ing done our duty.
Recall Own Sufferings.
"In the negotiations which we will
continue tomorrow we will be inspired
by a legitimate care for the dignity of
France. We will recall what we did in
1926 to overcome a crisis analogous
to that from which Germany suffers.
We recall our sufferings and the bur-
dens which resulted for us since the
war.
I'm the. circumstances through which
We are passing our diplomatic agents
should not be deprived of the country's
confidence. The attitude of our diplo-
mats cannot be criticized, and yet we
have been surprised by events both in
the case of the Austro-G German customs
accord and Of President Hoover's
letter
ITO avoid similar surprises, we con-
slider it fitting that the German and
French governments enter into full and
frank conversations. Those CONVERSE
tions will take place shortly and I am
confident they will yield results.
During these delicate negotiations
cannot make any other disclosures and
you will understand my reserve. The
government more than any one is mind
full of the national interest 1t needs
strong authority and to strengthen
that authority expect a massive
patriotic vote from the Senate"

hardly expect the President Of the
United States to start worrying about
diplomatic forms or to bother about the
sensibilities of European politicians and
diplomats. He made his announce
ment and the result was better than ex-
pected. A wave of optimism and conf
dence which saved Germany from dis
aSter followed, and Germany was tenn
porarily, at least, saved.
Know French Attitude.
In all the dealings with the French,
neither the President nor his collabora-
tors have forgotten for one minute the
state of mind of France. officials in
charge of the negotiations know France
we'll and know how much she has suf-
fered' from invasions and devastations
In the last so years, and how she has
bled during the World War, when the
flower of her manhood was killed or
manned. It is fully realized here that
France is worrying more about the dan
gers she may incur again If she does
not take the proper measures to protect
herself against similar occurrences.
All these facts have been fully taken
into consideration by the President and
his assistants. In order to prevent a
catastrophe in Europe, of which France
would suffer. much more than Great
Britain. italy or the United States
Mr.. Hoover. therefore. decided to act
promptly. He put before the French
a proposition which even Frances allies
found very acceptable. 1t is a purely
business proposition.
For this reason, State Department
and Treasury officials think it incon-
ceivable that the French would turn it
down and prefer inevitable chaos in
Europe to an arrangement whereby
they can only win. This is why, in
spite of the present difficulties, high
Washington officials remain reasonably
optimistic and hopeful that an agree
ment can still be reached in the course
of the week.

follows:
1.-THE situation is delicate-more deli
cate than it ever has been since the war,

declared that their only view is TO
strengthen the position of the French
government in the discussions which
now are going on.
THE reparations must not be called

The Hague accords must be main

and complete settlement of the repaSa-
tons problem.

government turned toward the United
States.
'Mr Stimson, the American Secre-
tary of State, informed our Ambass ador,
M. Claudel, that President Hoover was
preparing to issue a message to the
world. Two hours later that message
was published.
Could Have Refused.
Zone cannot complain that the
French government was left out OF the
American Presidents decision.
I'VE have accepted Mr.. Hoover's pro-
posal. The Senate should know that all
countries have adhered to that proposal.
I had confirmation of this last night
by letter from Ambassador Edge.
IF we had wished to score facile
success in our assemblies it would have
sufficed to reply to President Hoover
with refusal. But what would have
happened on the morrow?
I'VE have not refused, but we cannot
accept without reservations.

is the creditor and France victim.
Certainly France is a victim. but Amer
lea is not with us as creditor.

Electric Eye That C0nDerts Light Flashes
 Into Electric Impulses Is Secret OF 7eLeDision

1.-the scanning disc on the trans hitting end is made to revolve in exact synchronism with it = each spiral hole cutting across the field where the image is being observed at exactly the same time in the same position and with the same speed as its corresponding hole in the transmitting disc. Instead of the electric eye, how ever, the receiver has what sci- entists call a "glow discharge tube" which is made to glow brightly by the electrical impulses that are received by wire or radio from the "electric eye" in the ltransmitter. Thus the tube is made to glow correspondingly bright and dim, and with the same speed, as the "electric eye l in the transmitter receives the light flashes.
 An observer looking through Ithe disc holes rotating before the lglow discharge tube, therefore sees the image of the televised scene flashed before him. This is actually so many quick ligh' flashes, 13,500 second in this case. But so quick are they that they appear as an eItire and recognizable image of the original scene.
 By means of lens, this origina small image is magnified for th<
 observer.

 to use the buildings for legitimate
