Made Part Of Interallied
Financial Arrangements.

Officials in charge of America S
financial policies are showing con-
Germ over the hitch that has arisen
over the refunding and repayment of
the British debt TO the United States,
it became known here today.
HITCH OVER DEBT.
While negotiations are still pro-
cceding, IL Is learned that they are
proceeding in a desultory fashion with
slight chance OF settlement because
America insists that it's position can
not be changed and that Great Britain
must meet it's debt OF $4,000 000. 900
separately. Roundiy speaking Eu-
rope owes this country $4,000 900, 900,
The British are adhering to the
policy of conserving the American
debt as a part OF the general inter
allied and German financial relations
Word from London indicates that
the British financial experts do not
expect a settlement until after the
Presidential election here next No
vember.
Great Britain loaned the allies APP
proximately $4,000, 200. 900, and the
British MAINTAIN that In view of this
fact and because Britain borrowed
from America on behalf Of its allies
the United States should agree 10
some plan for British payments in
conformity with allied and German
reparation claims and payments To
Great Britain.
This plan is practically restate-
ment OF the parallel payment" sys
tenn OF interallied debts discussed
first at the conference between Lloyd
George and Premier Millerand. 1t fell
through then principally because

clare that the wizard" Is weary OF

where and accomplishing nothing
save delaying Ponzi from carrying
out his gigantic financial plans.

Ponzi. IL is said. takes the view
that inasmuch as they can find moth
ing against him he should be per-
mated to go on with his business,
which he maintains is thoroughly
legal and regarding which they have
not. with all their investigation, been
able to find the slightest flaw. And
IL is no secret that the average man
