DEBT REPEATING
PROMISE DENIED
CLAIM THAT WILSON MADE SUCH
SUGGESTION BRANDED AS
LACKING TRUTH.
Position at Peace Conference Declared
to Have Been That Obligations
by Allies to America
Must be Paid.

Washington.-Not only is il untrue
mat President Wilson at the Paris
peace conference promised the repre-
sentatives of the allied powers that
when the senate had ratified the peace
treaty he would make every effort TO
have the United States government
cancel the debts owed to II by the
allies. but written proof exists that the
presidents position was quite 20 the
contrary. In a responsible and thor
oughiy informal official quarter this
positive assertion was made Sunday
night In answer to published state
ments that the senate committee on
foreign relations knew that the presi-
dent had given such assurances at
Paris.
Inc Information that the senate
committee had knowledge of promise
OF that character by President Wilson
became a matter of report in the cant
rii Saturday after Davis f. Houston.
the secretary of the treasury. had ap-
peared before the committee on
foreign relations at his own request
and informed it in confidence that !
austen Chamberlain, the British chan
ceiior of the exchequer, had made
correct statement in his speech at
Birmingham, England, to the effect
that Great Britain had made oyertures
TO the United States for the cancella-
ton of the allied war debt to this gov
eminent. Little of the details of Mr..
Houstons disclosures to the commit
tee have become known, but if was
confirmed that he told the committee
that the proposal mentioned by Mr..
Chamberlain and concerning which
there has been so much official mys-
terry in Washington, had actually been
submitted by Great Britain.
Additional details obtained concern
ing the British advances along this
line brought to light that the proposal
had come directly to the treasury de.
partment from Mr.. Chamberlain as
head of the British financial ministry
ana not through the medium of the
state department or any diplomatic
source. The suggestion was advanced
about ten months ago, but not in the
bald form in which it has been under
stood to have been made. Great
Britain, it was learned, had not asked
that the United States cancel the
British war Indebtedness to this gov
eminent. but had explained to the
treasury department that, in the opin-
ION OF the British government, it would
De wise procedure for all allied gov
ernments to cancel their foreign war
debts. The proposal or suggestion of
Mr.. Chamberlain was that all "inter-
governmental' debts be cancelled. AS
surances were given that if this met
with the approval of the United States
the British government would cancel
all the debts owed to it by its allies.
