WELLINGTON, New Zealand, May 11=—The funeral of the late premier of New Zealand, William F. Ma; who died yesterday, will be hel Thursday at Point Halswell, Welling ton Harbor, where a monument will he erected in his memory. King George and Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin have sent messages of sym- pathy from London to the Massey family. Mr, Massey was the last of the war- time premiers. He became head of the Dominion governrgent in 1912, and despite war and post-war changes, which one by one threw the elder leaders out of power, his position re- mained secure. He was a fervent im- perialist and five times visited Great Britain to attend imperial confer- ences. At the last of these confer- ences he acted as dean. Ancestors Farmers. The premier was born in the village of Limavady donders Ireland, where, as he often proudly said, his ancestors were till- ers of the soil for centuries. ke emi- grated to New Zealand, when he was 14 years old and followed the- occu- pation of a farmer. It was as a farm- er that he was elected to the Dominion House of Representatives in 1894. Throughout his political career he maintained profound interest in his early work. A big, bluff, hearty man, Mr. Mas- sey was ardently -conservative and anti-socialistic. He made few enemies and numbered among his bitterest po- itical foes many personal friends. He was a great admirer of President Cool- idge. He met the American Chief Executive in Washington in 1923. On the desk in Mr. Massey's study in Wellington was a framed photograph of Mr. Coolidge making hay on a New England farm. Mr. Massey also was an admirer of Abraham Lincoln, & number of whose addresses, notably that at Gettysburg, he had committed | to_memory. Mr. Massey visited the United several times. His last visit 1923, when he was on his way London to attend an imperial confer- ence. He received notable receptions both in San Francisco and Washinz- ton. He remained in the National Capital for three days. When he was leaving the White House after meet- ing President Coolidge Mr. was stopped by the late pers, head of the American Federation of Labor, who introduced himself to the premier. The two men had a long end friendly chat. DEBTS SETTLEMENT PARLEY IS REVIVED BY U. S. AND FRANCE (Continued from First Page) _ basic condition of the refunding agree- ment with Great Britain. That con- dition is that settlements are not made contingent upon any outside question as to where the funds are to be obtained by the debtor nation for meeting its obligations. Developments_today on the French @ebt question did not disclose that any advance had been made as vet toward acceptance by the two gov- ernments of a definite proposal ad- vanced by either side as the basis for negotiations for a refunding agree- ment. Apparently neither govern- ment has put forward a statement that could be used for this purpose, both taking the position that the oth- er in each case should take the first step toward presenting a plan of set- tlement.

However, the conviction exists here that Finance Minister Caillaux intends himself to raise the question later in the year, and it is believed that he has already ~discussed the matter with Garrard B. Winston, Assistant Secre- tary of the United States Treasury, during the latter's recent visit here. M. Caillaux is described as having reached the determination to take up the question with the United States Government for two reasons, first, to tranquilize the French state of mind and, second, because of the necessity to advance French credits in New York and London by arriving at an arrangement of both the American and English debts. The guestion. of French debts to the United States is interlinked with that of her debts to England, and the Eng- lish debt cannot be considered apart v | from the negotiations for a general agreement regarding continental con- ditions. 1t is believed that M.
