the reclamation service, and finally
with Congress.
“If federal reclamation is to be re
garded as a source for obtaining gov
ernment money to be spent locally,
instead of first aid in settling a per
manent community, it will tail as it
already has in some instances,” ha
continued.
All government irrigation projects.
Secretary Work said, should be or
ganized into districts, managed and
operated by the people living on them,
who would decide all local questions
themselves.
He expressed the hope that the
next congress would pass legislation
requiring states to assume part of ths
financial risk and responsibility for
every new project undertaken within
their borders.

Washington, D. C — Representations
by this government to France and
Czecho-Slovakta regarding their debts
to the United States are having their
effect. It is expected that both coun
tries will begin funding negotiations
very soon, it was k-arned authorita
tively.
Conclusion of a satisfactory arrange
ment with France would be regarded
by officials here as settling one of the
most important and vexing foreign
problems now confronting tho admin
istration. That nation is America's
largest debtor, owing $4,213,000,090,
and recurring unofficial reports that
she was ready to arrange for funding
her obligations during the last few
years never have resulted in any real
action.
*• Czechoslovakia owes the United
States $118,000.000, and funding nego
tiations are expected to begin not later
than similar discussions with the
French.
Italy will start negotiations here
soon for the funding of her $2,000,-
000,000 debt, and Belgium will send a
commission to Washington for the
same purpose in July, it has been an
nounced. With France and Czecho
slovakia coming into line, and Great
Britain, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania
and Poland already having concluded
satisfactory arrangements, this gov
ernzoedt could consider the major part
of its debt problem as settled.
