Washington. Oct. 1.?France!
and America have come to u ten-,
tal Ive agrefiiifiii on $6.200,000 as;
?h? amount lo i*. paid on the total'
war debt.
The Freneli are willing lo pay;
an average of $100.000.1100 a'
year for 62 years to wipe out that '
sum. The Americani? want an'
average of f40.n00.f>An for the!
flrnl five years and an average of j
$<0.000.000 annually for the next J
five yea rs?in oilier woids an av
erage of $50.000.000 for the first,
ten yearn, ho that at least $500.-1
000.000 will be paid by 193C. Af-I
ter that the Americans feel that |
the sums should reach a maxi
mum of SI 30.000.000.
In order to understand the
French reaction to the American
suggestion It In neresnary to bear
in pnlnd that M Calllaux offered
an average of J90.ito0.000 u year;
In his first memorandum but lie
has now agreed to an average of
|100.000.000
Taking the first ten years of.
payments at an average of f50k-l
?00.000 means that each year;
$50,000.000 will be deferred mak- |
Ing h total of $r,00.000.000 which J
must be wiped out In the succeed
ing 62 years along with the reg
ular average of 1100.000.000 pay- [
ments. The American commission ,
wants 5 per cent Interest on the
aum deferred which makes $2f?.- '
000,000 a year and $5,000,000 t? ;
wipe out the principal so that ;
$30.000.000 would have to be .
added to the $100.000.000 which |
the French are willing to pay.
The French say this is too high i
and they are asking that on the j
first, deferred payment of $500,
000.000 there should be no In- .
terest charge whatever. If this
were granted, then France would ,
pay an average of $50,000.000 for .
ten years and she would wipe out ;
the $500.000.000 deferred pay
ment by adding approximately
$10.000.000 to her annual pay
ments of $100,000,000 Thus
the French maximum would be
come $110,000.000.
The French point out that the
British did not nsk any Interest on
the payments deferred as a result ,
of the first ten years of small an
nuities and that America should
do likewise There is a bare
chance that the United States will
grant a three and a half per cent
Interest charge on the $500.000.
000 In a question which would to
gether with sinking fund make .
the maximum French payments
? round $120.000.000.
The French think the American
mission most show the American .
people a large maximum figure ,
for the year" Immediately after f
the first ten but when the same
net of figures Is presented to the
French people. M. Calllaux will
deal with annual averages. Hav
ing offered $90,000.000 a year
and come up even to $1 10.000.
000 Is not regarded as so bad from
the French viewpoint especially 1
when America first asked max!
-mum payments approximating j
$150.000.000.
I It may be said today with con-1]
^fldence that the two sides are near ;
an agreement and that how muc h i
the interest shall be on the $500.
000,000 deferred payment Is the \
only obstacle to a final settle
meat Even the so-called safe-I
gtiard clause whereby M. Calllaux I
liopbs lo placate his own public {
opinion Is regarded as susceptl- j
hie of prompt solution within the
next 24 hours.
The compromise will be alon;
the same lines as that contained1
In the British-Polish dehl agree
ment. It provide* that If any
contingency arises which will di- I
mlnlsh the capacity to pay, the
creditor will grant the debtor a ,
moratorium In Interest payments,
for a period of years hut with the '
understanding that the obligation
to pay remains unchanged.
Influential members of the Am
erican commission told this cor
respondent early today that the
safeguard clause would not bo a
serious difficulty and that It was
simply a matter of phraseology
+ bee*use the French had to have
. something with which to please
their people whereas If an eco
nomic crisis did develop In Europe j
making It Impossible for France
to meet her annual payments the
1'nlted States as a practical cred-1
Itor would have to defer eollec-|
Hons anyway
The secondary clauses of the;
i French American agreement will
parallel the terms of the Baldwln
Alellon agreement, providing for
six months payment? and other de
teti?.

welcome to (lit* club woiiifu of the
Sixteenth DlHtriei of ?he North
Carolina Federation of Wonien'K
Clubs, in annual meeting assem
bled In the Sunbury High School
auditorium Wednesday, was xfu
riously expressed by Mr?. S. t.
Han-ell of Sunbury.
"We are moat happy." said Mrs.
Harrell, graciously Including the
visitors as well as the State offi
cers and club women, "to welcome
you to our district meeting. If
|your ears were tuned to the mel
ody iu our aouls. every sons bit d
,you heard this morning was carol
ing to you a welcome. If your eyes
had caught our range of vlsior.
every road guide pointing to Sun
, bury spelled welcome.
"Bill Nye used to say it was
characteristic of Americans to
want to Ik* in touch with rgeatnesa
-?true to our Inheritance, we ar??
delighted to look Into the fac^*a.
and grasp the hands of the women,
who through their club work have
.bettered the social, educational,
and domestic life of our Stat .
Their candlea have not been hld
den under a bushel, but have been
,act on a candlestick, their light
has gone out beyond the bounds
of our own State, as Illustrated by
an Incident that came to our
knowledge some weeks ago. Th-*
i dub women of Sunbury were liuv
1 ing some trouble of a local na
ture, when a young man of Suf
I folk, who had been working In Ka
leigh said, 'Why don't you ladle
appeal to Mrs. Palmer Jerman?
Sho can get you what you want.'
, Who knows but that It was the
rays from her lighted candle that
i has brought so much Information
and Inspiration to the people rf
I our State?that brought to us th*>
I partial concession for which w??
were striving.
J "At the district meeting In
Hertford the only discordant note
was of the intolerant bumping of
[the Norfolk Southern, which
seemed to have upset the prim of
.some of our speakers. The ex
i press, which passed through Sun
| bury, has been discontinued, but
the Woman's Club has refrained
from taking up the matter with
'the railroad officials, in order that
i the delegates might come to the
I meeting without suffering train
! shock.
! "Our club is expecting to re
|reive great inspiration from this
I meeting, we are ignorant (so it
| has been said of us) on many sub
Jerts, we are looking to you for
enlightenment, especially on civ
ics. that we may more intelligent
11y use the ballot, and that every
woman may be impressed with her
i duty, to help stablliz# our county
government and make it truly
I Democratic.
"But do not think we are con
cerned only about material thing*
we realise,
!" 'To every man there openeth
j A Way and Ways and a Way.
(And the High Soul climbs the
high Way, '
And the Ix>w Soul gropes the low.
i A"?l In between on the misty Hats,
The rest drift to and fro.'
"We have caught the vlaion of
fthe^ilgh way. and are striving ^o
walk that way. and to lift the
, seething maaaes and groping thou
sands into the aunllght of eternal
| things.
| "Again we bid you welcome to
our community?our homes?our
sehool building with our rhurrh
standing as sentinel to guard our
children, but warmest of all we
welcome you to our hearts, we will
remember you when you have
gone, ond co-operate with you In
all forward movements.
" 'Not in vain the distance bea
cons.
Forward, forwsrd let us range.
J*et the great world spin forever
??own the ringing groves of
change'."
