lEN WELCOME INCREASE OF DERBY'S PURSE
Winner Gets
$4,000
Added
By LOU BINDMAN
International News Service

News of the increase in next
years renewal of the Kentucky
Derby has been welcomed in turf
quarters, particularly those hold
ing future three-year-old prospects.
Americas most famous racing
classic will dangle a purse OF
$4,000 added money before the
eyes of aspiring owners in 1887,
marking an increase Of $4,000
over this years value.
Decision to restore the full pre-
depression worth of the Ken
lucky Derby was reached early
this month at meeting held by
the Kentucky State Racing Com
mission at the Churchill Downs
track in Louisville. At the same
time, values of other old fixtures
were increased, but bringing back
the Derby to it's previous peak
level attracted chief interest.
A Big Payday
BY this development, the win
ner of next years Derby stands to
win more than the victors of the
last five renewals. In the latter
group are included some of the
most popular turf heroes of their
day and it would be a quirk Of
fate if an outsider were to cop
next years running and grab in
one lump a bigger sum than
some of the greatest three-year-
olds before him.

cess, to her own affairs.
Three years have now passed and
we can strike balance on the opera
tion which We undertook so lightly.
I ask any honest reader whether, in
view Of all that Europe and France
have lost on the other side OF the
Atlantic, we can congratulate ourselves
on having alienated America. Were
we right to reject the hand which the
President offered us?
A glance at our unstable alliances,
at our growing isolation and at our
military, financial and economic sit
uation can furnish the reply. Perhaps
a change Of heart is beginning to take
place among the more intelligent
Frenchmen and the recent speech Of
Premier Leon Blum to the American
Club is an indication of it.

danger of collapse under the weight Of
private debts.
How could a politician have said to
his constituents: "True, we have not
been able to do much for you, but I
can give you the good news that, while
your debts remain as they were, we
have Just reduced those Of England,
France and the other European coun-
tries by nine-tenths. Therefore, my
friends, you will have to add to your
own burdens that of the loans con-
tracted to finance our Allies and to
enable them to maintain their arma-
ments."
It was thus that the question Of
debts presented itself at the end Of
1892, at the height of political and
financial crisis and on the eve Of q
presidential election which was to
mark the collapse of the Republican
party. It was obviously insoluble in
spite of the unquestionable good will
of the Republican administration then
in Office.
France Decides Not to Pay.
But what could be expected of politi-
clans already doomed? England un-
derstood this and submitted under
protest to payment of the December
installment. She was followed by most
other European States. France alone
decided not to pay. after scenes in

These were not mere vague words.
There was already on the Presidents
desk an extremely ingenious plan,
drawn up by an expert on his staff,
which would have considerably re-
duced our commitments. The plan
was not even seriously examined in
Paris. French opinion was obstinate.

haps definite rupture with our Amer

ton were profound. Our goods were

PARIS, July 2 (N.AN.A)-When
] arrived in America in the Spring
of 1927, 1 found the country still
ringing with the memory Of the
sufferings and victories of the great
war The names of Foch. Joffre, Pc
tain, Gouraud and Clsmenceau had
become legendary and almost on the
same level as those of Lafayette,
Rochambeau and De Grasse. The
glories of ST. Mihiel and the Argonne
ranked with those of Yorktown and
Gettysburg.
My first duty was to preside over
immense meetings Of veterans all over
the Union and hear the Marseillaise
sung and France cheered with an
enthusiasm and a sincerity that
warmed my heart. Every post Of vet
Grams in this enormous territory was
q center where their feeling of friend
ship was fostered and propagated.
Circumstances favored the develop
ment of these sentiments for several
years. The Lindbergh flight had
aroused general enthusiasm. The
march of the American Legion
through the Arc de Triomphe had
been a success. Prosperity had en-
couraged travel and our splendid
liners landed crowds Of American
tourists every week at Havre.
Bad Years Were to Come.
Premier Brands pacific and liberal
policy had won for him and for us
an enormous popularity, even in those
parts of the American Nation which
previously had been most indifferent.
Signature Of the nonaggressive pact
and outlawry of war had provoked
impressive demonstrations which are
difficult to recall without a melan-
choly smile. For bad years were to
come.
After 1929 came the economic
crisis, the indications of which were

this great statesman for whom I have
an admiration equaled only by that in
spired by Albert, King Of the Belgians.
Nothing can equal the cordiality and
sincerity with which this true gentle
man, typical Of all that is purest and
best in the American race and tradi-
ton, held out his hand to France and
expressed q desire to see established
between the two republics work Of con-
cord and collaboration. This desire
took the form of a request for a visit
Of representative Frenchmen who
would command the same authority as
Ramsay Macdonald, who was then
about to cross the Atlantic. No one
was as fully qualified as Edouard Her
riot to be this Frenchman and at the
end of April he arrived in WASH

have again looked over my notes
of the conversations which took place.
They extended to all questions then
Evening star., 1936-07-02

If It had been the hand Of Jehovah
writing on the wall Of Babylon. The
debts question had been given pro-
visional settlement by my predecessor.
Henry Berenger, and the Dawes and
Young agreements, accompanied by
a generous food of loans in answer to
the pathetic groans Of Germany, had
created a sort Of mirage through
which appeared the possibilities OF
liquidation by degrees. A reality
which became more and more severe
eventually put stop to these illusions.
The whole construction of cslcula-
tions, based on the narrow foundation
Of German payments which them
selves only were made possible by
American money, crashed to the
ground IN 1899 after having held out
hopes of welcome annuities to all al
lied countries and indeed to the
whole world.
The Hoover plan, which has been so
severely criticized, was really nothing
but the means of compelling every
nation to realize the disagreeable
reality Of this crash. Experts declared
with simple voice that Germany could
pay no more. Then began the de-
plorable discussion, the echoes of which
are not yet stilled. Did the German
default annul the obligations of the
Allies, and particularly of France, or
were these obligations, which arose
partly from circumstances arising sub
sequently to the Armistice, independent
of German payments as the American
Government had always maintained.
Useless Controversy"
A useless and irritating controversy
was maintained for many months on
this subject in thousands Of bad news
paper articles. In reality, the question
of legal Interpretation had long since
failed 10 have any interest. In face
of the manifest impossibility of execu-
ton, there remained only the question
of fact. 1t is astonishing that Amer
leans so open-minded, so intelligent
and so practical in matters of private
business did not see this, but 1t must
not be forgotten that the country was
in the worst year of the crisis when
its whole economic structure seemed in
