DEBTS PARIS, July 24—"Uncle Sam,” in intimating recently that he would appreclate payment of his war loans, has not only caused M. Parmentier, & member of the French ministry of finance, to undertake a trip to Wash- ington, but has succeeded In tighten- ing the French purse strings to a point where many are wondering what has become of the forty-odd billions of paper francs that are known to be in circulation. The French people seem to realize now that the American war advances are looked upon in official and many other quar- ters as real loans and not mere gifts and that they must be paid. BUSINESS INCREASE PROBLEM OF ENGLAND America’s Policy of Development Viewed by Parliament Member i as Timely Lesson. LONDON, July 24.—As a “nation of shopkeepers” Britain perceives that glie stands in need of increasing great- 1y her business with the world gen- erally. Many men have maintained she could best learn how to do this from America, and not a few arguing that she can become as pros pérous as America only by adopting tHe American fiscal policy of protec- ion. . But this is not the view held by the Right Hon. L. C. M. S. Amery, M. P., parliamentary secretary to the ad- miralty. He believes much can be ledrned from America, but that the ggeat lesson is not protection. 'The most marvelous economic phe- ndmenon of the last century is the growth of the United States.” writes Mf. Amery. “From a handful of col- omists on the Atlantic seaboard they have grown into a hundred millions of the most prosperous people in the world. They have achieved this amazing result by concentrating on one great purpose, the development of the resources of their great ter- It is development they have s kept in view, not trade, know ing that trade as an end in itself does not necessarily mean development amd prosperity, but that development inevitably brings both prosperity and e. #The resource of the British em- pire are many times greater than those of the United States.

Parmentier will bring back from Washington one of those surprises in high finance which are forming the plot of many French stories nowa- days. The more optimistic ones are prone to point out that it was M. An- toine Augustin who went to America in 1769 and brought back a few sam- ples of the humble potato at a time when Frarce was suffering from & dearth of foodstuffs. He obtained royal permission to plant 2 few experimental hills of po- tatos and then prevailed upon the king to wear a potato blossom in his buttonhole. Subsequently the potato became one of the chief vegetable products of France. Hence the for- mer Parmentier is looked upon as the father of France's culinary prosperity.
