(By the Associated Press.)' The members ' of the Belgian debt funding mis sion who have returned from Washington deny that there are any secret clauses in the agree ment reached with the United States concerning the Belgian rteht. They emphasize that such an arrangement was impossible because congress would be called upon to ratify any accord. " . ; The first payment to the United States, on December 15, 1925. they consider relatively unimportant, creating no i difficulties v lor .the Belgian treasury. They affirm the conviction that even though no new loan is envisaged at present. It is certain that Belgium's credit would be favorably Influenced by ratification of the accord and that more favorable conditions for Bel gium in the American, market ; could be foreseen. - Unfortunately for the debtors the delegates ex plain in their statement, the whole debt question has become a pivot in American internal politics; since all parties are bound by campaign promises, relative to the reduction pf taxes. They represent Ameri can criticism to the effect that the government of the United States 'should demand interest on foreign debts equalling that American tax payers are paying on internal debts. !

Premier Mussolini's own newspaper,' II Popolo dltalia, today published a leading editorial pleading that Italy has reason to expect at least as good treatment In the settlement of her debt to i the United States as was accorded 'Belgium. The newspaper points ' out that according to American calculations the national wealth of Belgium Increased from $5, 000.000,000 in 1912 to $12,000. 000,000 in 1922, whereas the na - tional wealth, of Italy increased from t22.000.000.000 In 1912 to only $35,000,000,000 in 1922, or about 60 per cent, ; while Bel gium's increase was more than doubled. In the same period, the newspaper Bays, France's nationa wealth Increased 50 per cent and that of the United States 75 per walkout of 150,000 workers, ex cluding the 8,000 to 10,000 main tenance men remaining In the mines by mutual agreement, but will aho throw out of work ten j There was little work on the I thousand railroad men, officials of PN sbipj today except the adjust ment of their magnetic compas ses,, which, together with radio directions from the shore and from station ships are expected to keep them on ' their course. It was found impossible to take a more exact radio compass along because of its weight. While this compass weighs but 33 pounds, the flying crews have figured that they have accommodated the last ounce that can be put Into the air cruisers. The PB boat will leave with a total weight In excess of 24,000 anthracite carriersin the region reported today.

Hoses, flight project commander and other flight officials aboard, de parted early ' today for a station In San Pablo' bay where it will stay during the remaining flight preliminaries and the take-off. While the airship builders have made the ships as safe as possible for their hardy crews, it has been found impossible to 1 eliminate many of the hazards, particularly when, such a long flight is consid ered." Two safety devices have al ready been provided for in the event of a forced landing on the sea. The first is the creation of what is termed In the navy as a "suck," which is nothing more than the pouring of heavy crude oil on the water around the craft to reduce swells - and break up whltecaps and thus eae the dumps which are so hard on crew and motors. (The ships themselves and the, station ships will carry a, surplus of this oil.

The following statement was made here Saturday by H. W. De forrest, chairman of the executive committee of the Southern Pacific railroad: : - "I have just returned from in specting the new construction of the Natron cut-off and have spent today in Klamath Falls and mo toring about the country with which I am much impressed. Our expectation is that the work on the Natron cut-off, including the cut-off from Grass lake to 'the present main line in the vicinity 'of Black butte will be completed and ready for operation some time in 'July of next year as planned We are ready to proceed with the other construction contemplated in southern Oregon and northern California, the details of which have been fully explained by Mr. Spreule and Mr. Shoup in their re cent statements and we await sim ply the approval of the interstate commerce commission. "This will involve a cost of ap proximately $15,000,000. Our new capital ' investment in -the Natron cut-off necessary to complete ft as a through line, will be about $23,- 000,000 and taking the two to gether will make a new invest ment of $38,000,000.
