Only re- cently, when it became evident that the Poincare government favor ratification, has would there been a genuine information about it percolating in the French press. French editors for the past month or 80 htve been driving home the information that the United States in effect has agreed to cancel sémblance of approximately 50 per cent of the | total French debt; and, calculated another way, France is being asked to pay only sums sufficient to cover that part of the debt contracted aft- er the armistice.
