France Defeats War Debt Payment. Government Resigns
In Paris the French government fell after a 402 to 187 vote against paying the wartime debt to the United States. M. Herriot announced the debt payment would not be made as his cabinet resigned after a dramatic overnight session ending at 6 a.m. with ministers submitting resignations and efforts beginning to form a new cabinet. Belgium and Poland reportedly will not pay America. Britain may seek France’s cooperation. The event unsettles international finance and France's standing with allies.

War Debt Payments Question in Commons London
In the House of Commons Mr Win ton Churchill pressed the Chancellor Neville Chamberlain on France and Italy debt payments to the United States and a possible UK separate agreement with the United States. Chamberlain cited Lausanne suspension of payments and potential settlement, with rights reserved. France's 18 million pound annual payment was noted as separate from Germany, and a separate UK-US arrangement was considered if feasible. In Paris debates the government faced opposition over debt payments with calls to refuse any settlement until negotiations advance. Herriot warned against debt payment threats endangering negotiations.
