OF war debts among The allies. in
March. 1918, at the Paris peace con-
ference. The Americans took up the
matter = but unsympathetically-
with the British. The next inter-
changes. he said, were mc-c informal
conversations between the British
and American treasures. The Ameri-
cans turned down the suggestion Of
cancellation. he said, and accordingly
that was only one Official document
on the subject. namely. 4 formal let
ter from the British Treasury 10 the
American Treasury Department. This
was written more than a year ago.

that the American government had
