By the Associated Press Chairman Smoot of the finance com- mittee pleaded today with the Senate not to make the Italian debt settle- ment the “foot ball of partisan poll- tics™ or to let its judgment be warped by vent criticisms” of Mussolini, the Fascist and their policies. Calling up the bill to ratify the | settlement of Italy's war debt to this country, the Utah Senator declared Ttaly had agreed to pay not only the principal of her debt of $1.600,000,000, but $800.000,000 of interest as well. Senator Smoot, who is a member of the American Debt Commission. de- clared this setlement was upon more liberal terms than that of the sub- sequent British-Italian agreement and that it was based upon Italy's capaci- ty to pay, in the determination of which American and Italian economic experts were in practical accord. Opens Fight on Ratification, The address of the finance commit- tee chairman, carefully prepared and bristling with statistics, marked the beginning of what has the promise of being a dramatic struggle with op- ponents seeking to send the bill to the foreign relations committee for further study. Proponents are confl- dent that they can muster the votes to block that program and put the | bill through. Before the issue is settled the debate is certain to cover a wide range, with military expenditures by the Euro- Store Hours 9 AM. to 6 P.M. pean countries and loans abroad by “international bankers” of New York occupying a prominent place. Adverting to the $100,000,000 loan which J. P. Morgan & Co. made to Italy last Bummer at an interest rate of 7 per cent, Senator 8moot said the difference between this and the low interest rates which Italy rays' to the American Government “is so simple that one might suppose that no Senator would stop to discuss it.” Money Used for War. ““The funds advanced by the Amer- jcan Government were advanced dur- ing the war,” he sald. “The goods oought did not enrich Ttaly, they were used by Italy to fight the war. Our debt was an old debt. We were much in the same position as a credi- tor of a bankrupt concern. The indi- vidual coming in with new money to carry on the business will not lend it a cent unless he is paid the market rate—international bankers or no in- ternational bankers. “Italy without the new loan would not be in a position to stabilize her Established 1909 Charge Accounts Solicited EL T Tun P, v THE EVENING STAR.

This must be accomplished if she is to live up to her debt settlements with this country and Great Britain. As a despalring creditor we should welcome the boldness of the investor who comes forward with new money to -invest in Italy.” Declaring . that the settlement was the best that could be made, Senator Smoot sald the American people had confidence in the debt commiasion and in its chairman, Secretary Mellon. “Above all,” he added, “they have confidence in the integrity and judg- ment of Calvin Coolidge. They know that his approval of the work of the commission means that the interests of the American taxpayer Have been safeguarded so far as it is humanly possible to safeguard them, and that the settlements arrived at are the best that could be effected.
