America expects to get her money only at F'rance's convenience, but would like France to say she n- tends to pay, if ever it is convenient, Just before Christmas Secretary of the Treasury Mellon felt so sure France was about to do this that he called the World War Joreign Debt commission together to listen in, However, there was nothing to lis- ten to. Ambassador Jusserand had Just been talking “unofficially" again. In fact, it began to look to Secre- tary Mellon as if France never meant to say anything at all. At this hint, Ambassador Herrick asked Premier Herriot point-blank—did Trance really intend to pay, ever, “Certainly,” replied Herrlot. But no promise, in writing, followed. ingly Herrlot merely spoke cially.” Not a Chance The general impression in Wash- | ington is about like this: I'rance doesu’'t want to pay what e owes. She considers that she aved clvilization and, in return, ought not to be required to pay. But she dislikes being placed in the po- sition of repudiating her debts. It would ruin her credit and humiliate her, too. She wants America to {n- sist on cancelling her claims.
