WARDEBT DISPUTE MENACES HARMONY Reed Speech in Senate Seen as Administration View in Row. BY DAVID LAWRENC There s no question now that the | United States and Fefince have en-| tered into a diplomatic controversy | which may for yvears to come affect | tries. The the a speeches in the Senate, notably | one by Senator David Reed of Pennsylvania, are a reflection of th administration viewpoint. Mr. Reed | in particular is known to be the| close friend of the retary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon, and he never would have made the kind of | speech .he did without the knowledge | of Mr. Mellon, who is not only the | head of America’s finances at this time, but a conspicuous member of the commission created by Congress | to fund the World War debts. Mr. Reed made statements in his couched in terms n to Fra enator has been known friend of France, as he fought the American expeditionary force and was one of the first to agree with the French in their occupation of the Ruhr. great friendli- Pennsylvania The lonzg a with Supports Moratoriu rance will * said Mr. “I think it's obvious meed a longer moratorium, Reed at one stage of his speech, “and | at first a lower rate of interest This is a concession which has been whispered about for the last two | Years the single variation tha Congress might make, so it was in teresting to observe a spokesman of the administration saying it publicly It does not differ a great deal from | the suggestion made by the French Ambassador, Jules Jusserand, recent- 1y that France needed a moratorium. What he meant, of course, was that ¥ri permitted to postpone pay ment for a few vears until recon- structed her finances, but such a pos ponement does not mean leaving the whole question in the air. It dos me&n a concrete settlement, and the fixing of a date for the beginning of payments on the principal and in- tefest. “France must be told.” said Reed. “that each day of de ranging for refunding the debt makes it more difficult for us to give her that leniency which she needs epudiation Seen Here. In the foregoing sentence read what the United States ( ment really means when it discusses | the speeches of the French minister of finance and views them with alarm F the last 24 hours nearly every | branch of the Government has had something to say In reply to M. Cle- mentel’s speech which has been in- terpreted as meaning default and re- pudiation. Had the executive branch of the government not taken the ini- tiative and had not friends of France like Senator Reed Pennsylvania taken the thing in hgnd there is no telling what the anti-French senti- ment might have be Certainly the President and Secretary of State | might have been placed on the de- fensive if Congress had adopted reso- lutions demanding that notes be sent by the World War Funding Commis- sion demanding payment. Envoys Without Authority. Thus far the tary of State control the situation and France Is being plainly told of the consequences of a continued pol icy of indifference to war debts ps ments. Senator Reed revealed what has been suspected. namely that neither M. Parmentier, who came as the head of the French mission in 1922, nor Ambassador Jusserand, who lately revived the discussions, had any real authority to make pro- posals 1t appears that M. Jusserand en- deavored to “get things started,” but the French government did not back him up. Tt is not clear whether the Paris ministry was in sympathy with him at the beginning and backed down when the British demanded that | their war debts be considered, too, or whether the French government sim- ply looked on with passive interest at what they hoped would be a ges- ture of friendliness on the part of their retiring Ambassador, President and Secre- Blame Placed Squarely. Official Washington doesn’t hiame Jules Jusserand that at the moment of his departure, after a long period of faithful service, during which time he has become so popular bere, the relations between France and the United States should be disturbed by hints of repudiation of debts. The responsibility is placed squarely on the gayernment in Paris of this and preceding administrations in misin- terpreting American sentiment. It is signficanY, however, that for nearly two years prior to the urit- ish settlement a constant propaganda for reduction or cancellation of debts was carried on, and when the British realized there was no chance of such & policy being adopted they made a settlement. There are those here who think France is also testing American opinion, and that when the unmistakable answer is given there will be a commission sent here with authority to arrange a settle- ment.

Moving quickly to speed up the work of surveying housing conditions in the District of Columbia ordered by President Coolidge yesterday, when he directed the taking of a census of all vacant houses and apartments, the Police Department of Washington, the Bureau of the Census and the Department of Justice today drew up plans for the survey and marshaled their forces in readi- ness for the actual census taking, be- ginning Friday. While the three agencies were pre- paring to investigate housing con- ditions here, Secretary of Commerce Hoover, who has been watching the local rental situation also, declared that such surveys had been made in other cities and been found-help- ful. Willlam M. Steuart, director cf the census, conferred with Mr. Hoover on Census Bureau co-operation in the survey this afternoon. Mr. Steuart sald the necessary forms were being prepared to push the Census Bureau end of the work without delay, and indicated the bu- reau will be able to swing into ac- tion just as soon as the returns are made by the police officers directed s to regulate or control private | upon | Playing the le role in “Peter Pan,” the J.

At the Depart- ment of Justice officials declared the legal machinery of the Government was prepared to go along with the other agencies engaged In the survey in any manner which might expedite compilation of the figures, Conference on Details. Commissioner Oyster and Maj. Sul- livan, chief of police, will confer this afternoon on the actual details con- nected with the taking of the census by policemen. It s not felt there will be any difficulties to be ironed out in the way of the census taking and that it will take only three or four days, as a similar survey was made some time ago by the Police Department at the direction of the Senate District committee. The Information when collected will be turned over to the Bureau of the Census, where it will be collated and studied In connection with the total population of the District and the housing needs. The data also will be used by the chaitmen of the Senate and House District commit- tees in support of the biH each in- troduced yesterday for the President ,#reating @ permanent Rent Commis- {sion and giving that body ample au- | thority to regulate rentals. It is understood that the pol ill make no attempt in collecting this information to ascertain the rentals asked for properties. It is | believed this phase of the local sur- vey will be left to the Department of Justice and the Bureau of the Census. If not, it will be taken up later by the police department or through the agency of the Rent Com- mission of the District President Moved to Action. President Coolidge after giving the housing situation in the District much thought, and after making many in- quiries from persons who were in a position to advise him from all angles, | suddenly made up his mind last week that it was time for the Federal Gov- ernment to take a hand in an effort to correct what has been represented to the President as an existing evil If for no other reason than the fact that he feels somewhat responsible for the peace and comfort of the thousands of men and women employ- ed by the Federal Government here, he is satisfied that his determination is justifiable. The President's first act was to have Richard Whaley, chairman of the District Rent Commission, draft a bill which not only continues that tribunal, but removes any,doubt about its functioning being constitutiona and at the same time placed teeth in the law governing the rent situation. This draft was read to him Saturday by Chairman Whaley. It met with his instant approval, and when Con- gress reconvened yesterday after its holiday Senator Ball, chairman of the Senate District committee, and Rep- resentative Reed, chairman of the House District committee, introduced the bill in their respective houses. This legislation is not based on the existence of an emergency as a result | of the war, as is the case in the pres- ent rent law, but it turns over to the Rent Commission the police powers of the Federal Government to protect the health and morals of the public of the Capital City. ks $200 Allomnce.
