WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The British
government officially denied to-day
that it contemplates seeking additional
loans from the United States. In a
statement issued by Secretary Of the
Treasury Glass, communication from
r. c. Lindsay, the British Charge
d d'Affaires here, is given. setting forth
that further Indebtedness to the United
States is not sought, although the CO.
operation of the American government
tries is desired. Mr.. Glass S statement
said
with the permission Of the British
Charge, take peasurc in making
public the attached copy of q letter
received from him. 1t shows sub
stantial agreement between the two
governments with respect to finance.
The British government does not con
template fresh borrowing in the United
States and, on the other hand, does
contemplate relief measures like that
which | have recently proposed to the
Committee on Ways and Means
The position of the British govern
ment with reference to further finan-
cial transactions with the United
States is shown in the following letter
from Mr.. Lindsay to Secretary Glass:
al am desired by my government 20
make the following statement to you:
In view of repeated allegations in
the press that the British government
desires to borrow large sums in the
United States, his majesty's govern
ment states that, as has been explained
more than once in the British Parlia-
ment, it is entirely contrary to the pol
icy of the British Treasury to incur a
fresh Indebtedness in the United
States. Since June. 1919, the whole ex-
penditurc of the British government in
the United States was financed without
fresh borrowing, and the first steps
have been taken to reduce outstanding
Indebtedness. The loan issued in the
market on November /, 1919, by the
British government was issued for the
purpose solely of meeting maturing in
debtedness.
Some confusion seems to have arisen
out OF the fact announced in the press
both III Great Britain and the United
States, that the British government
has invited the cooperation of the gov
ernments of other countries, and in
particular of the United States, with it
in joint action for further measures of
relief and reconstruction in the sun er-
ing parts of Europe. Any such meas
ures, If finally agreed upon, must OBJ
Vlously involve no further BORROWINGS
by the people of the United Kingdom
from the United States, but further ad
vances by the Inited Kingdom, as we'll
as by the United States and such other
countries as take part in the Joint ac-
tion contemp plated, to countries reuulr-
ing assistance

BERLIN, Feb. ! The German gov

the appointment of Baron Won Lucius,

sentative in Rome, as a result of at
tacks upon him by French and other
Continental newspapers. They charge
that he carried or espionage ard proua-
ganda in connection with a mission to
Sweden during the war.
Baron Won Lucius is also under sus-
picion of having been in active touch

learned from reliable source that the
Quirinal has virtually notified vii
helmstrasse that the baron is persona

can be no qualification and there is
very general admission that the
votes of the governing dominions
would IN most cases be found on the
same side as that of the United
States.
1T must not be supposed that in the
united states there is any tendency to
grudge the fact that Canada and the
other self governing dominions of the
British Empire havc votes, but any per-
son with the smallest understanding of
pubic audiences must realize the feel
ing created by the statement that the
United States with several million
more speaking citizens than
there are in the whole of the British
Empire has only one to six votes.
am not concerned to discuss here how
thls problem of equality of voting may
DC adjusted in practice it will not be
important. In sentiment and political
feeling it is very powerful factor.
We can neither give way about the
votes for the self governing dominions
nor can we ignore the real political
difficulty in the United States.
1T may be sufficient to observe that
tho reservation of the United States,
as far as known at the time Of writing
does not in any way challenge the
right of the governing dominions
10 exercise their votes, nor does it state
that the United States Will necessarily
reject the decision to which those
votes have been cast. 1t is therefore
possible, think it is even more than
probable, that in practice no dispute
viii ever arise. Our object is to main
tain the status of the self governing
dominions, not to secure greater
British than American vote, and we
have no objection in principle to in
crease of tho American vote.
