Forbes-Leith saw a cross-section of many eivilizations when he drove an uatomobile from London to India. His route of more than 8.500 miles lay through beauti- ful clties, lawless regions, scenes of great natural beauty and hundreds of miles of desert. Maj. Forbes-Leith will describe his unique tour when he addresses members of the National Geographic Society tomorrow after- noon and evening at the New Masonlc Temple. The motorist stopped in France and Italy. nd pictures he obtained there contrast with those taken in Jugo. lavia and Turkey, and a third and ill older type of civilization was en- countered in Syria and Mesopotamia. |‘Along the route were dozens of fa cinating cities.

The cabinet instructed him to have regard for Britain's friend- ship for Italy and he had been able to sign this agreement without bit- terness for either side.

The present value of the Ttalia British debt settlement signed yester- day in London is about 16 per cent of the indebtedness funded, as com- pared to the value of the Italian- American _settlement, representing about 26 per cent of the indebtedness funded, Secretary of.the Treasury Mellon explained today. The Italian-British settlement, Mr. Mellon said, “‘according to informal advices, calls for annuity payments of £2,000,000 the first year, £4,000,000 the second and third vears, £4,250,000 from the tourth through the seventh year and £4.500,000 from the eighth through the sixty-second year. This represents a total payment of £276, 000,000 over the 62-year period to amortise an indebtedness of £583,000,- 000. “Italy owes to Great Britain $2,837, 000,000 and to America $2,042,000,000 As compared with the Italian- American settlement, Great Britain re- ceives from Italy in the 62-year period total payments of $1.346,000,000, of a |to it | meager k, shows crowds already 28, 1926.
