world demhocracies and there Is no
suggestion that Italy should join.
But French hope was high today
that II the debt agreement proved
workable it would coincide with
other political and economic agree
ments destined to consolidate peace
and restore world commerce-econ-
omic disarmament, by which 1t
might be possible TO reduce tariffs
and lower trade barriers generally.
The French agreement
was reached last night, It was said
on high authority. after a long day
OF most secret negotiations by Will
liam C.. Bullitt, President Roose-
yelt's new, young ambassador to
France, and representatives Of Pre-
mier Leon Blum and Foreign MIN
iSter Yyon Delbos.
Agreement Complete
Agreement on the atyisability OF
final Liquidation Of World War debts
was complete, 1t WIS said.
1t was agreed also that 1t was
necessary as we'll as advisable to ex-
tend any American agree
ment into a three-power conference
including Great Britain.
In addition, 1t was understood
that the negotiators approached
close to agreement ON method OF
paying the French debt, provided
that 1t proves possible 10 include
Britain III a three-power settlement.
The method envisioned Is new
one-a series OF 20 annual payment
The old war debt agreement pro-
yided for semi-annual payments ex-
tending until 1887, so that grand
children. even great-grandchildren
Of World War veterans would share
the burden.
Under the agreement now adj
vanced, payments would end In 1857
The new total OF the French and
British debts would be below that
Of the debts now owed. on which
payment have been defaulted since
December 1882. But the new totals
would be substantial and would not
mean simply token" payments.
No Figure Mentioned
AS the measure OF agreement
reached so far Is tentative, no figure
has been mentioned as a possible
total for the debt payment.
In any event, any plan would re-
quire long consideration and In the
end. a possible agreement by the
United States, Great Britain and
France would require the ratifica-
ton of the congress and parlia-
ments of the countries concerned.
Today. Ambassador Bullitt con-
suited Washington on the negotia-
lions and the British government
was sounded on It's own view OF en-
tering a three-power debt agree
ment.
Highest French sources said that
they were ardently DESTROYS Of an
agreement which would permit re-
sumption Of debt payments leading
10 final liquidation.
FIRST reaction from London was
unofiiciai-to the effect that Britain
might expect both France and Italy

For such fishing you need good
equipment Boatmen will furnish heavy
rods, reels and line, but they use "a
thread line where 18 will do, their
reels are old and their rods have no
play This writer took with him
5OO-yard (you need plenty OF yardage
with 18-thread line) Ocean City Long
Key reel for sailfish, and a 30O-yard
Ocean City Ike Walton reel for tarpon.
The advantage this type OF reel has
over those furnished by the boat cap
tains is that the gears are always in
mesh and are connected to the line
spool by a clutch. This is a very
important feature. because when the
gears have to be meshed when the
line is going out a. minute
speed they are going to be stripped
unless it is done very expertly.
