French Senator Demands U S Pay Debts From Revolution
In a tense budget debate Senator Gaudin de Villaine argued France loaned America 60 000 900 francs in 1778 to aid the revolution and claimed the debt had not been repaid. A telegram cited as proof was dismissed as a canard by other senators, who urged caution to preserve U S relations.

Remaining balances were absorbed into 5 percent stock in 1816 and 4 percent stock in 1745, with final payments completed long ago.
