ITALIAN WAR DEBT SETTLEMENT RATIFIED BY SENATE, 45 TO 33 (Continued from Page One) to bring the debt agreement into full force.

Negotiations for the settlement of the French, Jugo-Slavla and Greek war debts to this country have been retarded pending senate action on the Italian agreement. Whether they will be renewed before the senate disposes of the motion for reconsideration remains to be determined. Immediately after the senate vote and before it got into a half hour's spectacular row over the question of reconsideration, the treasury announced that the American debt commission would meet "shortly" to begin negotiations with Henry Bereng-er, the French ambassador, who has been given full power by his government to negotiate a settlement. Ambassador Berenger and Secretary Mellon, chairman of the American commission, have discussed the settlement at length, but the treasury secretary said today that there could be no agreement until the American commission passed upon any offer made by France.

COAST GUARD GRAFT INQUIRY BY FEDERAL AUTHORITIES SEEN (Continued from Page One) ing the efforts of loyal coast guards to prevent the landing of contraband in large' quantities. Local officials declared that, as now constituted, the coast guard was unable to cope with the manifold ramifications of this syndicate. These officials pointed out that the New Jersey coast was a succession of obscure inlets and bays, into which illicit liquor readily could be carried, despite the vigilance of the patrol boats.

Furthermore, they said, the low, swampy shore upon which the liquor is landed and the fact that the coast guards were without authority to touch the contraband after it was landed, made a veritable "bootleggers' paradise' for the smugglers. Liquor valued at $250,000 was seized in the Rancocas raid last October and a large number of arrests were made. Most of the defendants are at liberty under bail awaiting trial.
