FRENCH DEBT BODY T0 MEET SEPT. 4 U. S. Commissioners Sum- moned—France’s Mission Due Next Wednesday. By the Aesociated Press. Negstiations for the funding of France's four-billion-dollar debt to the ' United States will begin here one week from today. Acting Secret: Winston of the Treasury, the secretary of the Ameri- can Debt Commission, issued a call to- day for a meeting of the Americar commission at 10 o‘clock next Thurs. day morning by which time the French mission, headed by Finance Minister Caillaux, will have arrived in Washington. The President has asked Mr. Win ston and Myron T. Herrick, American Ambassador to France, to meet the French mission in New York. Ambassador Daeschner also will be * there. Due Here Wednesday. Plans contemplate an immediate trip from New York to Washington, and this will permit the French dele: gation to have next Wednesday to pre pare for the next day. Meantime, Treasury members of the merics were gather! Ing on the ¥ position. T volumes represe individual unofficial studies or: the French capac ity to pay. As the conference date nears senti- ment appears to be crystallizing in both administration and congessional circles against granting any more favorable terms of settlement on the French debt to the United States than were extended to Great Britain. On the French side of the ques- tlon Finance Minister Caillaux con- * fined himself to this declaration as the mission which he is heading sailed vesterday from Havre: “I am going there (to Washing- ton) for the purpose of telling them ‘France is ready to settle.” Moratorium Possible. While the financlal position of the French governmen possibly in- fluence the America thorities to agree to a moratorium of a few vea before actual payments on principal and interest account Chairman Borah of the Senate eign relations committee is the congressional leaders who see no reason to depart from the basis of the British settlement In funding the French debt. Senator Borah reiterated his pe tion on the question after conferring with President Coolidge yesterda the same time that Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah, a member of the sion, declared t the settle- d com ving u be American Debt Comm in a formal ment with without referenc “Uouyeturiedlo ment agreement between the French and British governments. Coincident with Senator Smoot’s statement here, Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, declared in an address at Birmingham, Eng- land, that he hoped the French and American commissions would reach an agreement here “in harmony with the general interests of the whole world.” The British chancellor, the dis- patches said, announced In his address that he had received a letter from the French finance minister informing him that the French government had ac- cepted in principle the figure of 12, 500,000 pounds as the basis of annual payments on its obligation to Great Britain, subject to further discussion on various other points. Mr. Churchill was quoted as saying that he had invariably replied to ques- tions by “prominent American official personages” as to whether Great Britain would complain if the United States granted more favorable debt terms to France than it had to Great Britain, that it was his government's view that the “creditor has the right to discriminate between debators, but 3 discriminate between creditors.” Sues for $25,000 Damages.
