In the U. S.

Arrived in the U. S. with his wife and two daughters, Georges Henri Emile Daeschner, new French ambassador to the U S. (TIME, Oct. 27) in succession to M. Jules M. Jusserand, Dean of the Diplomatic Corps at Washington.

He declined to discuss politics beyond stating that "the general impression is that France will pay her debts, as she has always done in history. The only question is the way to do it. France must have time. There was discussion on the debt question when I left Paris, but a week has elapsed and I am not acquainted with what has occurred since then.''
