HOUSTON NAMES
GREAT BRITAIN
Declares British Asked for Can
collation. of War Loan.
NO REQUEST FROM FRENCH
Secretary of Treasury Volunteers IN
formation to a Senate Committee
Confirms Statement by J.
Austen Chamberlain.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Great Britain
has made several advances to the
United States government with a view
to cancellation of that cOuntrys deDl
to this country. This information was
disclosed to the senate committee on
foreign relations by David f. Houston
secretary of the treasury. The ad.
vances were made during the Yer.
sailles peace conference and have
been repeated since. In every instance
proposed negotiations have been dis
approved by the Treasury department
The information given the commit
tee by Secretary Houston confirms the
statements recently made by j. Aus
ten Chamberlain, the British chancel-
lOr of the eXchequer. Mr.. Chamber
lain said that the British government
had proposed cancellation of allied
Indebtedness and added that the prop
osition had not received the favorable
support Of the United States, where
upon the proposition was dropped.
Secretary Houston appeared before
the committee at his own request.
France Did Not Ask Action.
France has not proposed the cancel
latiOn of her debt, although the French
government sounded this government
en- the matter. Owing to the attitude
of, this government France did not
make any formal requests. The sound
ing was done during the time that
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia was
secretary of the treasury.
Secretary Houston explained his po-
sition with respect to foreign loans
and the negotiations for the replace
ment of short time securities with
long time obligations. Secretary HOus-
ton repeated the assurances he re.
Gently conveyed by letter to Chairman
Lodge of the committee that no more
credits would be established during
the short period that remains before
Secretary Houston quits office.
Wilson Offered Help?
committee let it be, known that they
have had in their possession for some
time information to the effect that
President Wilson at the Paris peace
conference promised to use his influ-
ence, after ratification of the treaty,
to induce congress to agree to the can
collation. of the allied Indebtedness to
the United States amounting to about
$1O,00O,0O0,0
According to the information, the
British representatives first proposed
the cancellation of the debt. PreSi~
dent Wilson declined to agree to this
on the ground that he lacked author
ity, but, according to the information,
promised to bring the matter before
the American people and congress i'm
after the ratification of the
Versailles treaty.
The information, If correct, throws
light on the desire of the
British to get America to ratify the
treaty and their willingness to accept
any reservations, according to one
of the committee.
After the rejection of the treaty,
the British proposals were renewed,
but the administration held that it
was not bound to take any action.
