tentative Francc-Brltlah debt settle
ment 1s expected to form the start
ing' -point of negotiations with the
French debt commission here next
month for funding France's tour
billion dollar war obligation to the
United States. ,
Officials Insist that the - United
States will not be moved by any sit
uation created abroad, but that the
American commission will stick to
Its own plan, as exemplified ln the
British' debt settlement and the
more recent Belgian - settlement.
This was emphaslied Thursday by
members of the American debt
funding commission.
However, It was admitted, tn the
first place,, that the United States
will have to take Into consideration
the payments France has agreed to
tentatively, $82,600,000 a year. In
determining France's capacity to
pay, and In the second place, that
France will have to be granted a
partial moratorium. . The first ot
these considerations growt directly
from the London negotiations, the
other Is a concession that has been
recognlied here previously as nec
essary, but Is emphasised by the
moratorium granted France Iby
Great Britain In the tentative set
tlement.
