American Attitude,
Washington, June 27, Mr. Andrew Mellon, the Secre tary to the Treasury, has issued a statement regarding the French debt for war stock, which has been the subject of correspondence be tween Mr. Winston Churchill and the French Government.
Mr. Mellon said that in the event of France ratifying the Mellon-Berenger War Debt Agree- ment, the payment of the G$400,- 000,000 on account of war stocks would be postponed.
Otherwise, the United Statéa would expect the payment of the amount on August 1st, when it became due-Renter's "American Service,

Postponement Sought.
Paris, June 27, The Chamber to-day adopted a motion instructing the Government to seek a postponement of the pay
mant for war Atocks which is due to America from France on August 1st., in order to enable the Cham ber thoroughly to examine the Washington and London debt agreements.
"
This question of war debts, which is, of course, bound up with reparations, provoked most critical debate in the Chamber.
M. Poincare seemed at a loss and he again hinted a desire to leave to others the Insk of settling the Question.
Agreements Denounced,
M. Franklin Boullion strongly denounced bath the Franco-Ameri- can and the Franco-British (Churchill-Calinux) Agreementa. He declared that they were de- signed to drain the "last drop of blood from a country which is already bled white."
He demanded to know further if It could be expected that France 'could discuss the agreement with n dagger at her throat (the dagger consists of the alternatives offered by Mr. Mellon, appearing above).
"Go ahead, he urged M. Poin. care, "Refuse to ratify the agreements. You will have the whole of France behind you.” -
For once the whole Chamber appeared to be unanimous.
*. Poincare replied that he would gladly second M. Frankdin Bouillon if his position did not demand reticenco.
