FRANCE BEGINNING TO THINK
ABOUT HER DEFAULTED DEBT
PARLS.—Payment of $19,000,000
interest on war debts to the United
States, on which France defulted in
December, was brought officially be
fore- the chamber of deputies in a
resolution. The present attitude of
the gpvernmen still is doubtful. Many
deputies think, however, that Premier
Deladier, who was not convinced of
the wisdom of the payment, soon will
realize the majority of the deputies
favored it and will swing into line.
Farmer Premier Herriot earlier in
the week came out with a bold warn
ing to France that she had better pay
her debt due to the United Sates, and
particularly because of the serious
changed conditions in central Europe
and the turmoil in Germany du to the
Nasi movement and the rise of Adolf
Hitler.
