DOU6T EXPRESSED IF AMERICA WILL COLLECT IN FULL Deals With Europe Call for More Money Than Total U. S. Debt. Timeg Wnahinaton Bureau. 132, 2 A'eio York Avenue WASHINGTON, May 4.—With the ratification of the French debt settlement here and at Paris, the funding of the foreign war debts to the United States will sttyid virtually complete. The deals represent the biggest of their kind in history. If the debtor nations all meet their payments for the next sixty-two years as specified In the agreements signed, the United States will collect tho staggering total of s2l 004,160,000, principal and interest, or nearly two billion dollars more than our entire national debt today. That much money represents approximately ?1 SO for each m'an, woman and child in the country, or S9OO per average taxpayer. Russia is left as the outstanding nation not having signed up. With interest, she owes us $250,000,000. Rut the United States does not recognize Russia and there is little chance of collecting from her for a long time to come. Austrian Postponed ty Settlement of Austria’s $30,000,000 debt to us has been postponed for thirty years by agreement. Jugoslavia, owing $65,000,000, and Armenia, Greece, Koumania, Liberia and Nicaragua, owing comparatively trifling amounts, have yet to come to terms. * Will the United States collect this almost $22,000,000,000? There are those who say no. Sixty-two years is a long time and many things can happen. Wars have a way of changing situations drastically and even peace-loving America lias had a major war, on an average, every twenty-five years. Then there are the economists who claim so much money pouring into a country cheapens gold, raises prices and does general harm. Those claim the. United States itself will take tho initiative some day and ask for a revision for its own good. First Twenty-five Years In view of all this, therefove, it may he of interest to note how much money we stand to collect, not during the entire sixty-two years, but during the first twenty-five years. Tn each funding agreerrient, comparatively small payments are called for at first. Italy, for example, pays only $5,000,000 for the first five years. After trial. the amounts gradually increase until in 1950 she will pay $12,664,500. The French payments range from $30,000,000 for the first years to $125,000,000 in And so on. Thus twenty-five years from now, we will have collected, If all goes’well, a total of $7,861,000,000 or only about one-third the amount called for during the life of the agreements. What will happen after 1950 few are willing to forecast. Aside from tire usual hazards, and the economics Involved, there are other things to be considered. Funding a war debt is not paying it, and while the. United States has most generously reduced every one of the debts from 25 to 75 per cent, the citizens of tho nations owing uir the money do not see it that way. All they will be able to see, generation after generation, is that they are being heavily taxed to pay Americans. The resentment engendered by being "tied to tlie American chariot," as some already express it, is a factor the United States may yet have to reckon with and weigh against the advantages of the money coming in. But, for the time being, barring a probable losing fight in the United States Senate against the French settlement, and a similar fight in Paris, the country’s war debt deals, to all intents and purposes, are closed. The chances are, however, it is not for always. LICENSES REQUIRED Interstate automobile busses must display Indiana license plates as well as those of the neighboring Stato. Attorney l General Arthur L. Ullliom lias held in an opinion to Secretary of State Frederick E. Schortemeler. Half of tho busses of the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Bus Company bear Ohio licenses and the other half bear Indianap plates, it was pointed out to Gilllom.

I.a Ouardia reiterated today that he would not go to Indinnapolis unless tho House asked him to or unless Attorney General Sargent thought it might be wise. Has Affidavits He said the affidavits he has eoncerning the liquor formerly owned by George Remus, Cincinnati bootlegger, which was the Squibb stock, arc all a part of the court records in the various cases in which Remus has been involved. It is his belief that the Indianapolis grand jury will make a general survey of the whole Remus case, and that he is wanted for these affidavits, which do not directly concern the Squibb liquor, rather than for any information about the Indianapolis case. Representative Hudson of Michigan suggested Monday that the In dianapolis grand jury probably knew La Guardia needed not re-
