similar mission. Although the term “war debt” is used, what Great Britain claims from France as money due represents only in part monetary obligations contracted in war time. The total amount is nominally £623,000,000, this figure including £200,000,000 of accumulated interest. By far the greater portion is constituted by advances which the British Government made to the French Government in connection with the World War. But there is also the relatively small amount still owing on war stocks left by the British Army in France and sold to the French Government. Included, as well, is the £60,000,000 which the Bank of England loaned to the Bank of France for the purpose of supporting exchange. This sum, under a contract made in 1923, bears 6 percent interest. It is guaranteed by a deposit in the Bank of England of French gold to about a third of the amount. Last year M. Caillaux, as the then French Minister of Finance, reached with Mr. Churchill a tentative agreement for settlement. This was to be effected by payments of £12,500,000 a year for sixty-two years, so that about 60 percent of the nominal amount owing was to be cancelled. Lesser payments for the first four years, to be made up later, were to start the settlement. The whole affair, however, as M. Caillaux made it clear, was to be contingent on a settlement by him with the United States, together with several other important conditions. Mr. Churchill likewise insisted that Britain must have terms as good as those made with the United States Government. Now that M. Bérenger has reached an agreement in Washington, M. Péret is continuing the work of getting the war debts out of the way, as an essential precedent to general stabilization of French finances. Last month a part settlement was made when France agreed to pay £4,000,000 a year on account, beginning with 1926. But the conditions formulated by M. Caillaux again figure largely in the talk which began in London today. They have not yet been accepted by Great Britain. France has maintained that she must be allowed

Caillaux again figure largely in the talk which began in London today. They have not yet been accepted by Great Britain. France has maintained that she must be allowed a “clause of safeguard,” or a provision making her war debt payments dependent, at least in part, on German reparation. The United States, with M. Caillaux and M. Bérenger, declined to establish any such connection formally. Hitherto Great Britain has taken the same stand. This is likely to be the main difficulty which M. Péret and Mr. Churchill will have to overcome. Official and other opinion in France seems to be determined that French war debt payments shall not exceed, at any events, the amount received from the Germans. Successors of M. Caillaux, like him, have presented the contention that the arrangement between the Bank of France and the Bank of England should be revised. This suggestion has not been welcomed in Britain. Again, the French demand for a part moratorium—from 1926 to 1930—has been tentatively granted by the British Government provided only that the difference be made up later. Finally, France is asking today for some understanding regarding “transfers.” It should be provided, the Paris Government holds, that war debt payments may be deferred when purchases of foreign currencies for the purpose would weigh too heavily on the franc. The Italo-American and Italo-British settlements have stipulations of the kind.

FRENCH WAR VETERANS OPPOSE DEBT SCHEME The three hundred and forty thousand members of the Union Nationale des Anciens Combattants of France are opposed to the debt funding plan made by M. Bérenger in Washington for the payment of France's war debt to the United States. Such was the information conveyed yesterday to M. Paul Jourdain, Minister of Pensions, by M. Henry Rossignol, President of the Union, of which the congress met in Arras. The congress asks the French Cabinet to use all its power to delay Parliament’s vote on the debt accord until the United States Congress has voted. To America, it says that French public opinion regards the debt accord which M. Bérenger signed in the same light as American public opinion in 1919 regarded the Treaty of Versailles.

Under the plan the number of the non-permanent members would be increased from six to nine. China, Poland, and Argentina being given new seats.

It is proposed ultimately to increase to three the number of South American representatives on the Council. Provision is made that the non-permanent members shall be elected every three years and remain ineligible until three years after the expiration of one term. Exception is made to this rule in that the Assembly, by a two-thirds vote may rename a retiring member of the Council. This provision gives certain members the privilege of holding semi-permanent seats and is designed to satisfy the demands of Spain and Brazil for permanent seats and the special commission will meet again in June or July in an attempt to settle this point, which in March blocked Germany’s entrance. Lord Cecil paid a high tribute to Poland for the conciliatory attitude she has taken with regard to her request for a permanent seat.

Towards the end of last week, bears forced down some issues, especially in the motor group, but buying support is more in evidence this morning and many observers predict a bull reaction before the week closes. The excess of imports over exports during the month of April is explained by the bulletin of the Guaranty Trust Company, which declares that America must realize that in present conditions of exchange European imports must exceed American exports. During April imports were valued at $398,000,000 and exports at $338,000,000. The following opening prices are recorded today: — American Can (New). Anaconda Copper ... Baldwin Locomotive.
