Will America enable her to “transfer” them in order that the proceeds of their sale in the + United States market may be con- { verted into gold payments on account | of the 32,000.000.0600 Italian debt?

Before many davs are over, it may turn out that the Italo- | American negotiations succeeded or | failed over the transfer question. | There Is a disposition on all hands to concede that it goes to the root of all | the matters now under discussion. Next to “capacity to transfer,” the overshadowing factor is the effect upon the present purley of the failure { of the Franco-American negotiations | month ago. Opinion i sharply db { vided on that score. Some uuthori | ties believe that the French | promotes the probability 8 | ful dealings with Italy. Their argu | ment is that the Collidge administra- { tion, admittedly anxious to face Con- Igr¢s< with a record of achievement in the debt-funding field, cannot afford to { chalk up another failure. The reason- | ing is that. due to the administration’s {anxiety to secure results, Messrs. Mel- | 1on, Kellogg and Hoover will go to Lan ble extremes to obtain them other authorities assert that Ttaly will Le offered no far h ing concessions because of the ad | ministration’s fear that France would { hurry along with a demand for equality | of treatment—for treatment perhaps more generous than the rejected American proposition. The French, of course, are watching the Italian no- gotiations with an eagle eve. Every possible advantage will be taken of them when the Painleve government resumes its dealing with Washington. “Last-Centers” Staggered. This writer encounters a wide spread view that the administration ix | bolder with regard to Congress than {it was before the French negotiations | broke down. These are regarded as | having given the “last-red-cent” party on Capitol Hill a staggering blow. The ill-starred French affair taught that it is one thing to demand the “last red cent” and quite another thing to get it. Short of sending an Army and Navy to Europe to collect our debs, the abortive negotiations with the Irench showed that when a debtor government says “Impossible,” or “Your price is too high,” there is very little Uncle Sam can do about it. One other factor requires mention- ing which enters into the psychology of the.Ttalo-American negotiations. It has escaped general notice that vir- tually every debt settlement made with a European nation since the British settlement in January, 1923, has been marked by increasing American leni- ency. The process hegan after, not with, the British arrangement. which w made, according to the British, with- out any regard to “capacity to pav.” Since then. Finland. Hungary. Lithu ania, Peland, Latvia, Belgium and Czechoslovakia have funded their debts. While adhering to certain basic principles of settlement, the United States has indicated a system. atic trend in the direction of leniency.
