And after so many protestations of inability, why Is there at lasl a definite desire 1o ar range payments? This question must occur to many as the French mission headed by Joseph Caillaux, minister of finanee. gives out opiimistic state- ments facecasiing a settlement The answer fs o he found in the international credit situation and the plethora of American private funds ready for investmeni. The French Zovernment not only needs money now. but will need large sums in the next few vears to refund her internal abligations, which now require a high Interest paymant. If France can re. duce the cost of horrowing hath at home and abroad. she will save many millions of dollars annually. The terms which the American Government will | ive France are not ‘om those which were given Bel. But almost any reasonabie terms are more desirable from the French fewpoint than ne ter all and a continuation of the uncertainty. American officials expect that as as the deht guestion is settled the French will.be in the market for | large loans and that these loans prob. {ably will be obtained at a relatively {low interest rate compared to what | the French would have to pay if they !didn’t settle their debt. And the French can borrow money for long or short rerms at better rates than if | they didn't clear the harizon of the | American debt prohlem Faced Loan Boveott.
