COMMISSION ACTS
Directs Communication With France
On Unacceptable Provisions Of
French Debt Proposals
(By Associated Press)
'WASHINGTON, April 26.-As the
negotiations for the settlement of
France's four billion dollar war debt
proceeded today, the Senate gave;
overwhelming approval to the agree-
imient with Belgium for the funding of
its $417,780,000 war obligation.t
The American Debt commissionr
Pound some of the major provisions1
of the French proposals unacceptable
and directed Chairman Mellon to.
communicate this decision to Ambas-t
sador Berenger, who is representingt
France in the renewed negotiations.7
Meanwhile, the commission willt
meet tomorrow with the commissiont
from Jugo-Slavia in an effort to1
reach an agreement on the debt or
that country. The negotiations will
be taken up where they were left off
last fall and the Americans are hope-
Iul of an early settlement.
Senate action on the Belgium debt
agreement came after a brief, but
brisk debate during which Senator
Reed, Democrat, Missouri; Howell, Re-1
publican, Nebraska, and others in-
sisted that the debt commission was
"saddling billions of dollars of inter- I
est charges on the American people
through the settlement with foreign
nations."
The vote for approval was 55-20, an
even larger margin than the Italian
agreement received last week, and
came after the Senate had rejected,f
21, an amendment \by Senatort
Iaivell which would have required
Belgium to issue interest bearing
bonds in the amount of the annual
payments which they have agreed to
make on account of principal and in-
torest.
The vote of the Senate completed;f
jiiislative action in both countries
and the agreement will come into full{
force as soon as President Coolidge'
has signed the bill of ratification.
The temporary stumbing block in
the French negotiations includes the I
proposal that France pay ony $25,000,-
000 annually at first. The American
comnmission asked the French ambas-
sador to make a better proposal and'
he has communicated with his gov-s
0rnment.

Seniors Prepare
Party Lists For
Mock Elections
Despite the fact that Harry G. Mes-
ser, president of the senior class, has
announced that there will be no pri-
maries before the senior mock elec-
tion at 4:15 o'clock tomorrow in Nat-
ural Science auditorium, various fac-
tions are already organized and ready
to present a list of candidates when
the nominations are declared open, it
was learned yesterday. An anti-to-
bacco league is being organized among
the men, while the pro-side of the is-
sue is being taken by a group insti-
tuted by the women.
Seniors who have been on the cam-
pus five years or more are taking a
stand for the honor system, and indi-
cations are that this faction will have
several successful candidates in the
election. Men connected with the
Union during their University career
have been meeting since a fortnight
ago, and the results of tomorrow's
vote is expected to show the feeling
about several allegations relative to
the men's club this year.
Soon after last week's announce-
ment, a Put-the-stadium-near-the-cam-
pus group completed its party plat-
form and the majority of the ind-
pendent candidates immediately joined
that faction. Twenty-nine members of
the class of '26 have qualified for the
150-different-dates-a-year club insti-
tuted last year, and it is in this group
that the women are looking for sup-
ports.

nine which has been playing classy
baseball since the season opened and
which had little difficulty in downing
the Purdue team Saturday, broke
down completely today when its in-
field failed to function and lost to the
Ohio State team by a 9 to 3 score.
Walters did splendid work on the
mound for the Wolverines and held
the Buckeyes to seven hits, but his
fine pitching was to no avail when 8
errors were marked up against the
Michigan infield. Neville and Fried-
man each muffed two balls and Loos,
Wilson and Kubicek each made an er-
ror. It is likely the Michigan outfit
will oppose Syracuse Friday with a
new infield.
For the first three innings neither
team was able to cross the home plate.
Ohio cut loose in the fourth frame and
tallied two runs. The Wolverines
were unable to score in the fifth,
neither were they able to brace up
and check the onslaught of the Colum-
bus team for the locals came back
strong in their half of the innings and
scored three more runs.
Michigan went into the sixth frame
with the score 5-0. The jinx seemed
to depart when the Ann Arborites
commenced to slam the ball to far
corners of the lot, and it looked as
though Ohio State would be compelled
to take a decided brace if they wished
to maintain the lead. The Michigan
rally was shortlived, however, and the
visitors had to be satisfied with two
runs, making the score 5-2. Ohio fail-
ed to register in their half of the inn-
ing.
The visitors again started out the
seventh frame with - a bang and suc-
ceeded in climbing one run closer to
the locals. But it was is Ohio's half
of the inning that all hopes were
blasted for the Ann Arbor team, for
the Buckeyes displayed real skill with
the bat and sent four runners across
the home plate dues to a complete
breakdown in ithe Michigan infield.
That ended the scoring for although
the visitors did brace considerably in
the field they were unable to use the
bats effectively.
Jablonowski was credited with the
longest hit of the game, a three base
hit. Wilson made a double.
