PARADE FRENCH VETRANS HAD A DOUBLE MEANING Timed on Eve of (luilluux Departure for lu>ndon I and A l*o to ImpreH* Unit* 1 ed State Congret?M ATTEMPTFAILUHE United Stales Government Not Imprestied With Ne-! v'ccwity of Kevising Wur Q. Agreement Term* By DAVID LAWRK.M'K Mim 1 in a, i>, , -Washington. July t, wa. Intended by the demunatratlon ofj French war veterans to Impress ; United States Government with the necessity of revising the ' terniH of the Mellon-Berenger ' agreement on the war debt, then j It may be said now that the at- 1 tempt was a failure. . Parades in which 20.000 maimed veterans participate are 1 not spontaneous affairs but are the I result. of direct organization. Fori that reason officials here are In-! cllned to look for the motives of the organizers rather than to take. Into account the surface aspects ! of -the movement. The real belief here is that the parade had a double meaning. ! First it was timed on the even of j the department of finance minis ter Caillaux for London where the French government hopes to ob- j Uln much better terms than were1 accorded France by the United States. Second, the French know I there Is opposition In the United States Senate to the MelloJ-Beren- I ger agreement on the ground that ! lt.ia too lenient and they hope that the parade of the veterans will as sist the Senate in making up its miad that a better settlement Is Impossible. About the only com ment that was forthcoming here today was that the French parade Illustrated more forcibly than any thing else the effect of the decep tion practiced by the French poli ticians In withholding the truth about government finances from the French people ever since the V Instead of telling the French * people that the opportunity of col- 1 lactlng large reparations from' Germany was economically Im possible. Ministry afier ministry held high the hopo of substantial 1 payment by Germany. Millions of dollars were spent by France In : the Huhr as well as In Morocco ?nd In 8yrla which might have keen diverted to the peace time heeds of an unbalanced budget. ' Alain. by various statements of of- 1 flcials and by a persistent cam paign In the press, the French peo- ' ble were led to believe that cancel-! Nation of war debts was coming. They were not permitted to know that the United States from the start has regarded the fulfill-! ment of France's flnsnclal obliga- ' Hons as essential to her own cred- ! it position. The drop In the franc If regarded as Irrefutable evidence ?T what the French politicians naye done since the war In the management of government fl nanoes fl0 fa| as the United States Is concerned, the gorern jMgt hers would probably be wlll mC'not to press the question of a settlement at thla time believing that when France's Internal sit uation has Improved the Paris ad ministration would be able to mk* vnateneb rtee nuke an even better settlement of ?gym debts than Is possible in It Is precisely because the polit ies situation In tfce United States! permits a lenient settlement today I ihe sdmlnlstratlon has been willing to grant what amounts to * fifty per cent cancellation of the1 French war debt It Is not point- i ?4. out nowadays In France that of fhe raon#Jr which the United States Is asking France' to repay was spent after the armis tice and la in a sense a commercial I debt Great Britain lent similar! sums snd actually received as high | as five per cent Intereet since the war, but these facts probsbly are gllaowi to the great majority of tB#' French people because of the direct control exercised by the French politician over public opln- < ion through the press IJ4D.0D0.CI00? n, .pon, hy tlx.
