DEBTS OPEN Fair and Workable Plan Aim of America Caillaux Wants Practical, Worthy Agree mentCommission Heads Exchange Felicities at Meet. WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. (A. P.) The French uml Ameiicun debt commissioner meeting here today 10 affect a settlement of Krunru'u four billion war debt, pledged themselves to face the issue uh practical men, recognizing the problems uf each other and desirous of reaching a iiuielc agreement. France's position slated by Joweph Caillaux, her minister of finance, was that France lias not forgotten "what we owe to America for her Hplcmlid work to end victoriously the war and for the generous help our people re ceived from citizens of the United States." Secretary Mellon, head of the American debt commission, declared he recognized the influence the pres ent conference might have on the peace of the world and described the American desire and duty as one In the direction of a settlement that would be fair to all and, in the prac tical test of time, workable. M. Caillaux spoke very briefly ex plaining that the hope of the French was to reach a settlement that would not only be practicable insofar as ma terial Interests are concerned, but one that would be "worthy the past of the two great nations. I He said the discussions between the two commissions should go forward In such a way as to. "fortify peace and held the economic stabilization of the world." "1 have come from France' said M. Caillaux, intrusted by my govern ment to meet the obligations of my country towards the United States. - "Highly appreciated members of our parliament, belonging to all par ties, chairmen or reporters of the financial und trade commissions of the upper and lower house have been so kind as to accompany me. Like myself, these gentlemen have the greatest desro to reach a settlement. We do not forget and no one in our country will ever forget what we owe to America for her splendid work to nd victoriously the war and for the generous help our people, received irom citizens of the United States In time of need. We do not forget and we feel sure nobody on this side of the Atlantic forgets the lies knotted about both our countries during the eighteenth century. "Now, if you wish we 11 go to work ns practical men, desirous to come to 1 settlement satisfactory for all ma- leriul Interests, worthy of the past of such a way as to fortify peace nmr help the economic stabilization in the world." Replying to the French minister. Secretary Mellon said: "One by one the world Is overcom ing the effects of the war which so long after its termination linger. The Dawes plan is a further step towards economic stability In Europe. The reconstruction of devastated areas approaches conclusion; governmental expenditures are becoming more regu lar, more certain of estimation and more possible of being- met through taxation; and budgets1 npproaehing equilibrium. There still' remain, how ever, loose ends to be gathered In. War and post war governmental debts in many cases remain unsettled. "To establish the binding character of on International promise and to protect its own citizens, the creditor nation must seek adjustment. To keep good Its word and to give Itself time to recover Its prosperity the debtor nation must determine lis fu ture liabilities. No concern can suc cessfully be reorganized In tho face of nn unfunded demnnd obligation. So we meet here In council ns business men to conclude the one matter which is In controversy between our two countries, "We were glad to receive tho help whlch France extended to us when we ! were fighting for our independence 1 nnd we were eager to make some re- turn in France's own great need.
