(FUILISHED IN THE HUES.)
(Received 23rd November, 9 a.m.) LONDON, 22nd November.
According to the Paris correspondent of "The Times," the reports from Washington that the American Debt Funding Commission may ask Franca, and other countries to arrange to fund their debts to the United States are arousing considerable interest.
The French do not intend to repudiate the debt, but it is argued that the money owing to America was borrowed to meet the expenses of a war carried on in the common, cause, and that a distinction should be made between such a debt and the reparation debt owed by Germany. France should not be asked to pay the debt to, America before the German payment of reparations is assured.
