French LeftiSt Leader Desires EraSure

PARIS, May 1e R.-widespread
discussion Of the war debts question
arose today after Leftist leader Leon
Blum declared he would like to see
misunderstanding" effaced, but In
formed sources said any move to renew
negotiations was more likely to come
from Britain than France.
Informed sources saw significance
in the fact that Blum's remarks to the
American Club yesterday came shortly
after a conference with British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden In which the
two statesmen discussed the general
international situation.
Blum and Eden were reported to
have laid the groundwork for pos
sible Joint program by France and
Britain to face their respective poten-
tial difficulties with Germany and
Italy.
Both men regarded their meeting as
highly satisfactory, reliable informants
said.
In q speech last night, Senator
Tydings, Democrat Of Maryland,
urged q scaling down Of war debts in
an effort to assure that this country
will get some of the money back and
to relieve financial conditions abroad.
European war debts to the United
States total $13,670, ,087 ,391, Of which
81 ,049, ,795. .092 Is In default. Frances
debt totals $4,041 ,152, 1928 and Britain's
$4,s5o, ,595. .301.
The defaults on the debts fire.

Closer Cooperation Seen.
Closer cooperation between the two
nations was expected under Frances
new regime, with Blum destined to
become premier next month when the
Chamber of Deputies convenes with
his Socialist party the strongest single

nothing about 1t.

had guarded the trail down the
canyon was standing on the porch
outside.

party at the de Forest hacienda,
''TE1nder Mesa, has a tragic
erIing, when PEARL SAM DE
FOREST, Oldest Of three brothers,
Is found dead beneath the Christ
mas tree with . knife In his
threat.
There are many strange things
about Thunder Mesa" beside the
fact that each Of the three broth
ers has the first name Pearl"
PEARL JOHN Is the youngest,
PEARL PIERRE next. Others at
the house are: TANTE JOSE
PHINE, old and an invalid; BET
TY WEIGH, her companion; RA-
MON VASQUEZ and ANGELI-
QUE ABEYTA, guests at the
party; PROFESSOR SHAW,
archeologist; and BOB GRAHAM,
tire salesman who stopped at the
hacienda when his car broke
down.
Pearl Pierre, now head Of the
family, has his brothers body re-
moved TO the house chapel Later
he sends word that everyone is
10 20 there for funeral service.
They arrive - but the body has
disappeared.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-30

Two officials of a bank in Scot
land embezzled large sum of
money. Quick action was taken by
the police to prevent the men from
leaving the country. In short while
some clues were discovered,-clues
which led the police to believe the
men were dead. The fugitives had
been traced to a certain country
near the barren coast and Gordon
Of police was drawn to prevent es-
cape. Near q Stilo a pocketbook
containing the name of one of the
men was found. From the stile the
footprints Of the two men, one of
them was large and the other small,
were found leading straight to the
edge of a cliff which formed a
perpendicular and long drop to the
sea and boulders below. There was
no foothold for a descent and no
foot prints led away from the spot.
The police concluded that the men
had committed suicide and de-
cided to withdraw and search the
coast for the bodies. A detective
who had accompanied the search
then protested the decision and,
calling attention to the footprints,
pointed out that the taller man
had taken shorter strides than the
short man. that the short man had
trodden heavily on his heels and
the tall man on his toes. He also
said they could not have walked
backwards due TO the sxactitude Of
che prints. He also eASs ~n:e men

well, what do you think Of
that" Ramon asked Bob as Tante
Josephine's cackling laughter faded
away down the corridor. Pearl John
had gone ahead into the living
room with Angelique and they could
see him seating her and tucking
cushions behind her head. Then he
went to get her something to drink.
Il think she may have come
nearer the truth than she ex-
pected,' Bob answered. Don't
forget that Pearl Pierre overheard
us in the library talking about
forcing him to send for the ON
Gals. Now, If there Is no corpse
to show, why the officers? For
some reason I think Pearl Pierre
wants to hold US here on the
mesa"
For a moment Ramon looked
startled; then he turned 1t of with
his usual shrug. Maybe he wants
to find out more about us. Re-
member. I met Pearl John in
Santa Fe and he was the one who
asked Angelique and me up here.
The rest of the family had never
seen me before. And, Of course.

at was worth seeing" Ramon
went on. I'D give good deal
to know all that goes on in that
old boys mind"
Pearl Johl joined them then and
in minute Ramon went to see how
Angelique was feeling. Bob looked
at the youngest de Forest curiously.
His pleasant face had lines of wear
mess etched on 1t. as though he had
not slept much since the Christmas
party.
Bob felt a twinge of sympathy
for Pearl John, who, in spite of
everything, seemed to be a real
fellow.
IF there's anything I could do
-" he began, putting hand on
Pearl Johns arm.
There is" Pearl John told him.
I'm going to make a thorough
search of the house to see II I
can find out something, and I'd
like you to come with me-"
Bob nodded assent and followed
down the corridor. SO Pearl John
was afraid of something! He was
so afraid that he was willing to
ask help from q stranger. Pearl
John opened several closed doors
and, together, they peered into
empty rooms, closets, storerooms,
and bedrooms all of which had
windows opening on a courtyard.
Bob noticed. After they had
turned down one or two branching
Railways, Bob lost all sense of d.
rection and had the sensation that
he was weaving through sort of
mystic maze.
