CONGRESS MOVES 10 RUSH FRENCH DEBT PACT 0. K. Fear European Financial Chaos Unless Ratification Is Immediate. By Phillip M. Simms Hy Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. May 20.—Startled hy the rapid, continuous and ominous fall in the value of European currency which slumps to anew low point daily, Congress moved today to hasten, if it could, the ratification of France’s $4,000,000,000 debt, settlement, pact with the L'nlted States. Gradually Congress is beginning to appreciate that if France takes the plunge over the financial and economic precipice on the ragged edge on which she now stands, she cannot fail to carry others down with her. To change the metaphor, France is one of tire keys to Europe’s house of cards. Europe owes America approximately $32,000,000,000 in principal and ultimate interest. Over $22,000,000,000 of this is owed to taxpayers or the Government. The other $lO,000,000,000 is coming to other investors, large or small on money loaned European governments or European* industry. Mellon (o Start What can be done to bolster up France therefore will trend to bolster up Europe and whatever bolsters up Europe is sheer self-inter-est on the part of Americans. Today, therefore, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon was expected to fire the opening gun of the battle for ratification. The first move came when the House Ways and Means committee suddenly decided to begin hearings at once on the ratification measures and asked Secretary Mellon, chairman of the American Foreign Debt committee to testify. Tomorrow Ambassador Berenger leaves for New York, whence he sails Saturday for France to press for ratification there. France is watching with amazement, rather than panic, the sickening decline of the franc and Premier Briand has issued to the Chamber of Deputies, which meets a week from today, an ultimatum that the debt agreement must be ratified or he will resign. Failure to ratify at Paris would likely mean the Senate would postpone ratification here until next fall. Unless the French act at once, It will tic too late. The Senate is scheduled to adjourn June 1. Disaster Looms Postponement over the summer might entail disaster for France, die must have a loan of at least Got Rid of That Cough!

John G. Bechtol “Some years ago I caught a severe cold and had the fight of my life to get rid of it. I coughed almost constantly until I was so weak 1 could hardly navigate. I tried many remedies, but none of them gave me much relief. After two or three months I thought I would have to go to some other climate, which I did not do, but began using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and after taking about one and a half dozen bottles in connection with Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets I was again in gtfod health. I am satisfied Dr. Pierce's remedies saved my life. They also relieved me of a bad case of indigestion.’’—John G. Bechtol, 708 Harrison St., Ft. "Wayne, Ind.

$300,000,000 soon unless the bottom is to fall out of the franc entirely and precipitate a crisis both political and economical such sis she has not suffered since her defeat and subsequent revolution as in IS7O. France can not raise such a loan until the situation clears. All Europe is feverish because of the uncertainties of what might happen tomorrow. The Italian lire, after being stabilized for a long time around 4 cents lost 20 per cent of its value In a few days while the Belgian franc is tumbling dizzily and daily from one new low to another. Europe's whole financial and economic structure is sadly in need of revamping, if Upcle Sam is ever to collect his thirty-two billions. And much depends what happens both in and to France within the next few weeks. co-edTommits suicide Leaves Two Notes Saying Action Is For the Best. Hy United Press .
