UNOFFICIAL" FRENCH DUN
CAUSES LITTLE ALARM
Historian Refute to Get Excited
Over Claim We Owe France
Historians in this city nre Inclined to
smlle nt the editorial claim advanced
in Paris that the United States owe
Franrc $1)0,000.000,000.
The claim was made in the hclair
by Jean Bernard aud was accompanied
by tlio further claim that America still
owes 80.000.000 francs on tlie purchase
price of Louisiana, sold to this coun
try by the First Napoleon.
Thc SOO.000.000,000 debt, it was
stated, grew from the Interest on a
sum lent bv Frnnce to the Continental
Government during the Revolutionary
War. , ,
Dr. A. E. McKintcy. professor of
history at the University of Pennsylva
nia, did not view the French claim
seriously.
"Both thc United States and France
could find many financial claims upon
each other, dating even lanner ubck
than the American Revolution, if they
considered every claim that had been
made on either side," ljc said.
"Some of these claims we know arc
not correct. I do not remember any
thing about these specific claims and
would have to do a good deal of re
search work to look it up. But even a
trifling debt would pile up a tremen
dous Interest in WO years. If such a
debt existed some one must have liked
mathematics pretty well Ut have com
puted all that interest
Second. Do vou believe that your
proposal would be the entering wedge
in weakening and nullifying thc civil
service system?'
"The Mayor answered the second
question in the negative, but gave no
r-'ilv to the firHt question.

was pertinent in view of the fact thnt

in 1010 of tho Altschulcr agreement of
1017.
Representatives of the packers were
on hand for the preliminary conference,
but the spokesmen for the workmen
nsked for a prlvntc hearing such as was
given thc employers' representatives
last week and the request was granted.
Mr. Ianc and Mr. Brennan were ac

representatives of trades allied with
the packing industry, who said they
were on hand to "back up" the em
ployes' representatives and to give them
advice during the conferences
Declares Men Won't Yield
"We will not yield." said J. J.
Brennan, of the International Brother
hood of Firemen and Oilers. "If ncccs- .
Nary we can make the packers stand up
to their agreement."
Mr. Congdnn, when asked if the I
packers' representatives had come here
with authority to make a new agree- t
ment with the employes, said they were
here only at the Invitation of the secre
tary of labor.
"Wc do not know whnt he has in
mind," he added. "Wc have no knowl
edge of any plnn that Secretary Davis
or the employes may hove."
Going into thc conference with the
announced "moral support" of the
American Federation of Labor, thc em
ployes' representatives were prepared to
insist, labor leaders said, that the pack
ers relnstltutc the arbitration ogrecment
adopted during the wur but terminated
a week ago. This issue would be
nressed. It wns said, eve- aheod of ob-
