LEAGUE TENNIS
INDIANS START SEASON WELL
FILIPINOS PROVIDE THE FIRST SURPRISE
||
The curtain to the "C" division of the tennis league was lifted yesterday when four matches were decided.
The Indian Recreation Club started their programme in fine style, taking all nine sets from the Central British Association, but despite this, their form did not impress and they would have to do much better if they want to win
the shield.
The Filipino Club provided the first surprise of the season when they beat Craigengewer Cricket Club by 3 sets to 34 but the other two games resulted as expected.

He declared that so much pre liminary ground had been cleared by the Washington parleys that he sees no reason why the World Conference should last more than two months.

RESERVATIONS BY PARIS
TAXES ON EVE OF TRUCE
Paris-France's reservations ac- companying her acceptance of the tariff truce are stated to be:
1. Only those countries which accept the agreement will be al- lowed to benefit byits advantages. 3. The application of measures to counteract currency disturban ces cannot be considered as an infringement of the agreement.
3. The eventual enforcement of Customs or fiscal measure re- sulting from the application of laws already voted, or of bills before Parliament, cannot be re- garded a contrary to the agree ment.

SUM REQUIRED.
Paris M. Herriot in a speech at Marseios clasped away" pertain misapprehensions over the Franco- American debt negotiations.
He stated that Mr. Roosevelt, while anxious for negotiations .be tween Paris and Washington, held that the payment by France of the outstanding December instalment was an indispensable condition to any action towards a settlement. The amount of this instalment would, however, be deducted from the final sum to be paid.
There seems to be little prospect of the French Chamber agreeing to make the December payment unless there were a definite promise of s moratorium for the June instal- nent.
