COLLECT NOTHING It Is Pointed Out That France Has Made So Many Con cessions Until Little Is Left of Claims on Germany. Paris, Dec. 30 (By the Associated Press). —Finance Minister Clementel'a suggestion of polling ,the inter-allied war debts made in his balance sheet of France's financial situation issued laßt Saturday is regarded in highest banking circles as actually representing sentiment of the French government as well as of 1 French finance. v The minister is bound, it was remarked, to avoid for diplomatic reasons being drawn into a categorical statement to I that effect. Hence his declaration in | the chamber of deputies last night in which he argued pro and can on the ways< of settling the inter-allied debt question. Inquiry among financiers and among pub lic men closest to the cabinet, however, indicates that the French believe general ly that the whole post-war financial set tlement should be revised. This claim to a new deal is based on the fact, they point out, that the treaty of Versailles has been revised to French detriment, that largely through the influ ence of their largest debtors. Great Brit ain and the United States, they have made concession after concession until there is little left of their claims on Ger many, they insist, while their war debtors show little disposition to pay and their war. creditors demand full payment. Os the 13,000,000,000 francs in gold owing to France for advances made dur ing the war, the government counts on collecting nothing. Italy contests part of the claif against her, and says she ought not be called upon to pay any part of it. Roumanin has shown the greatest sensitiveness when suggestions were made that she let it be known that ' idle thought *he matter at her nleht ought to be' adjusted] France lfiAft nSlde no move with reference to the Belgium 3.'- 000,000,000 franc debt, while the 6,000,- 000,000 francs owed by Russia has been theoretically written off ns uneollectible. French Embassy Says France Will Not Disavow Her War Debt. | Washington. Dec. 30.—Unequivocal j assurance by the French embassy that] France had no thought of disavowing her war debt to the United States had serv ed largely todny to mollify the wave of ■apprehension enveloping the American capital on the heels of what was con strued us a 'hint from Paris of the possi bility of such a course. In reiterating the intention of their government to meet its obligations, em bassy officials took occasion to explain the legal exactions concerning the new bal ance sheet recently given out by the French ministry of finance, which by omitting all reference to the American debt appears to have given »rise to the ( concern here. Allied Debt Conference Suggested For Next Year. London, Dec. 30.—Next year will be an ideal time for an allied debt confer ence which conceivably might result from the Pnris meeting of allied finance minis- 1 ters next month, according to opinions expressed in official circles p London to day. It is believed that the atmosphere has been greatly cleared by official and unof ficial statements made by some of the al lied governments in recent months,- and Great Britain, while she will not takp the lead in calling such a debt conference, would welcome some kind of an under standing for settlement of the inter-allied debt question.

SECRETARY WILL APPEAR JANUARY 8 Chairman Batter Says That President Coolidge Expect ed a Conference to Be Held Within a Year. (By the An«oclat*d Ptms) Washington, # Dec. 30.—Just ns the House naval committee was taking a first step toward a naval investigation today, the White House revealed that President Coolidge is still hopeful of another in ternational arms conference Within a year. . Mr. Coolidge is not entirely convinced that such a venture will be possible, but he still is on the lookout for a favorable opportunity to call such a conference to discuss naval armaments. Washington, Dee. 30.—Investigation in to the needs of the navy was decided up on today by the House naval committee 1 at a stormy session. A motion was adopted to eall Seere- 1 tary Wilbur before the committee on Jan uary Bth to make such) recommendations - J as he might deem expedient. Chairman Butler announced that dur- 1 ing the discussion he had been informed unofficially that President Coolidge ex- ' pected a conference to be held within a ! year, looking to further naVal disarma- 1 ment. It was at the suggestion of Mr. But- j ler, however, that the motion for an in quiry was made. The chairman said he supported such a step because he had 1 been charged with attempting to over ride the will of the committee. As adopted the motion represents a ' compromise between those desiring to 1 take up a bill proposing a naval build ing program, and members who sought to 1 have the committee direct its attention ’ to a measure designed to adjust certain irregularities in the iMval establish- j ment. „ v . ... -t ■ ' ;-r; J DAWSON’S ADVICfe As TO ' J ECONOMY HITS POPULAR CHORD j Requests of Institutions May Be Drne- 1 tically Cut—Let-Up in Bond Issues. 1 Raleigh, Dec. 20.—State Chairman John G. Dawson's "taking counsel” with . the membership of the next legislature f in advance of its meeting struck a popu lar chord hereabouts and the few mem bers of the legislature on the scene, at tending commission meetings, are of a ' mind to make some drastic cutting in the requests submitted by the educational and ' charitable institutions and the depart ments. Mr. Dawson is not given to many in terviews. He served two terms in the legislature without making a speech and until, as speaker, he felt it a duty to prevent a stampede, he never took the floor under the bigger authority his of fice carried. It is clear enough that as leader of the party he has heard the cry for a let-up in bond issues and for a clarification of the financial status of the state. In the coming legislature will be many comparatively wise men and others will find at all times the good adviee of the grand old man of the mountains avail able. Some of the newspaper, too, will counsel slow moving until the operating account is satisfactorily straightened out.

Dec. 29.—At the meeting of the Trinity trustees today twenty-nine members of the board were present and ali voted in favdr of'expanding the insti tution into the wwkerslty contemplated by Mr. Dnke’g indenture of trust. Five members of the MMl'd were not present but-sent proxies i« favor of the action. James B. Duke wad the only trustee not present who did out send a proxy. The board of-liktees adopted the fol lowing statemenr*i “We have had wore ns full official information conceiting Mr. James B. Duke's great gift" tor charitable and edu cational purpose*. %YVe have found that the fund carries provision for Duke Uni versity to be estaEJMied in North Caro lina and hold* tfiF.igenerous offer that this university ntoj©be built at Trinity College with Trfnlto as its college of liberal arte. # “We have found that the university is! to be developed according ro plaits that, are perfectly in Ihutowith our hopes for the expansion of thin historic college, and almost exactly in raie with plans snb jnitted by President Few to this board at its meeting in October, 1024, and ap proved by tile board on the one condi-' tion that sufficient funds could be made available for carrying out these plans. tYe have therefore gratefully accepted the opportunity made possible by Mr.' Duke not only for a greater college but also for an increased-service to the State and the nation thrbugli graduate and professional schools that will be built up around the college. Change in Name Only. "And we have taken every necessary step to change the corporate name of the institution to Duke University and to give the corporation perpetual existence. We have not found it necessary or de sirable to make any other change in the charter. With this exception the ex panded institution will be operated under the same charter Trinity College lias been operating under, with the same board of trustees, and the same provision for the e’ection of their successors. “The control of Duke University and all its relations to its constituency that Trinity College has had. l . "There are four Trinity colleges and already one Trinity university in the United States.

Livingstone in Raleigh News ami Observer. , Durham, Dec. 29.—The Durham Rotary forgot all about its attendance race with the Portsmouth club today as it listen ed to an announcement by Joseph (4. Brown, Raleigh banker, and president of the Trinity Board of Trustees that Duke University was to be established here with Trinity College as an integral part of t. He never got to the announcement but the Rotarians really needed none. The Rotarians invited the Trinity Board of Trustees to be their guests at their regular wekly luncheon and very one of them accepted, 29 in all. There ; were a number of other guests alsso one of them being Bishop H. M. Dußose of the Methodist Church, South, and it tax ed the seating capacity of the second floor of the Y. M. C. A., but there was room for all and plenty to eat. The Durham women certainly know how to cook and to serve. * A Preacher Presides. It was,strictly a Rotary affair with the Rev. Sidney Bost, president of the ! local club, in the chair. The local busi ness was soon disposed of and the meet ing turned over to M. E. Newsom, a member of the Trinity board of trustees and district governor of Rotary. All (he visitors were made to rise and tell their names and the next time they come to Durham they will be at home. Mr Browp made no announcement other than to ten a story about the negro wo man who answered .the telephone and heard the query: “Will you marry me?” “Yes, I’ll marry you, who's (hat?” is the way Mr. Brawn says, she answered. He told the feotarians that it was the thing to do to accept the large and generous donation and that he never had any doubt about it. Nor had the Rotarians. Rnl eiegb and Durham are in a fairway to be on most excellent terms if today’s meeting is any sign. Dreams to Come True. Prof. R. L. Flowers rejoiced that he had lived to' see this hour as a citizen of Durham, as a Rotarian and as a member of Trinity College, a pe culiar joy in welcoming this gift. Par ticularly did it represent to him the coming true of long cherished dreams of j long unfulfilled hopes and long harbored ambitions. He could truly say that it was the gladdest moment of his life. “Trinity is not going out of business,” announced President Few .as he rose to conclude the speeches. “It will continue as the college of arts and sciences that it has been, and will continue to give a four year course as it has been doing.” President Few was given a big hand by the assembly as he was introduced. After an hour with the board of trustees he de voted his address mainly to the Rotarians. He told them about the various move ments they had helped' to put over and thanked them for theiP co-operation. He was glad to know that Durham had honored Washington Duke by naming its new hotel for him. President Few paid a tribute to his memory. - He told the Ro to be, a fitting memorial to his father and family. “If will • also be an enduring '.monu ment to himself, • Scope of Trust Fund. “The indenture which creates Duke University provides also for hospitals for orphans,, for rural churches and their support, for wornont preachers, as well as for the higher education of white and colored youth, and it is a pecnliai satisfaction to us to have this institu tion associated in this way with they: l undertakings for the promotion of tlye physical, intellectual and moral well be ing oi men. "There is much satisfaction to us in the circumstance that the income of the university will be derived in large part from the Duke Power Company, a by- 1 dry-electric development which has meant |so much to the material progress of i State and which is itself a great piece of ( far-sighted philanthropy. “At the heart of every American uni versity is a four year college of artn and sciences. Trinity has been n sepa rate college of this sort. It remains as it lias always been, both the name and thing, except that henceforth it will be * college around which is built up a com plete university organization. In addi tion to this college of arts and sciences, the university will include a co-ordinate college for women, a law school, a school of religious training, a school for train ing teachers, a school of business admin istration, a graduate school of arts and sciences, and, as sufficient funds are avail able, a medical school and an engineer ing school. Quality First “The university in all its departments will be concerned about excellence rath : er than size; it will aim at quality rath er than numbers, quality of those who teach and quality of those who learn. “It will incitably 6trive to provide leadership in advancing the bounds o£ human knowledge. But it will also have care to serve conditions as they actually exist. And it will be for the use of all the people of the state and section with out regard for creed, class, or party, and for those elsewhere who may seek to avail themselves of the opportunity it has to offer. •‘The institution has already had three distinct stages in its development. It began in 1838, as Union Institute. In 1851 it became Normal College, and since 1859 it has been Trinity College. “It has not always occupied its pres ent site; it had existed for more than 50 years before its removal to Durham. 1 But through all its outward change it has kept.one soul., it has been guided by ] the samV controlling faith. Now _it [changes again to meet new responsibili ties and to rise to opportunities. In the new investiture os' in the old, we doubt not, it will be dedicated to sound ideas and disciplined in the hard serv ices of humanity.” tnrians that they had done fine work in helping to put over the campaign to se cure funds for the Southgate memorial building at Trinity College and also in the campaign to secure a medical school. “And we are going to have the medical school,” he announced, and this was again the signal •for applause.
