Secret Methods
In Belgian Debt
Asserts Plan for America to
Take German Bonds Was
Published in 1919 and
Discussed Again in 1920
Explains Wilson'S Course
SAYS Agreement Was Made
With Two Other Powers to
Aid Devastated Country

A dispatch from St, Augustine, Fla,
IN The Tribune yesterday, attribueing
.mszement to President-elect Harding
when he read President. Wilson's
recommendation to Congress that Ger
van bonds be accepted in payment of
BeIgiun,'s S171,0o0000 debt to the
limited States, provoked from Thomas
" Lamont the assertion that the plan
vas made public in June, 1919, during
the Paris peace conference, and was
widely discussed again in this country
in January. 1920.
According to the St. Augustine aG-
vices. Mr. Hsrding's astonishment was
week ago, had assured the President
elect he would be "as free and untram-
meled as air" in shaping his pol cy
regarding Allied Indebtedness.
Mr. Lamont, who was financial ad-
wiser to the American Peace Commits
sion, declared yesterday that the plo-
posal to take German bonds for the
Belgian debt was merely. a substitution
Of one obligation for another.
The German bonds that might be
received, se said, would be prior Len
bonds, and the obligation was Gon-
sideyed to be perfectly good and an ex-
eeIIeHl way 4or America, without un-
due risk, to join with England and
France in assisting Belgium
SAYS No New Situation Was Disclosed
Mr. Lamont emphasized, however.
that the main fact in his estimation
was that President Wilson in trans
hitting to Congress the formal docu-
ments bearing on the agreement among
Lloyd George, Clemenceau and HIM
self TO recommend this manner of liQui-
dation by Belgium, did not disclose
any new situation, but simply gave the
details Of a plan that. had been several
tines made public"
Mr.. Lamont also took exception to
an editorial in The Tribune yesterday
commenting on the Presidents recon-
mendation. He wrote the following let
ter to the editor of The Tribune:
II have read with interest your edi-
torial OF this date entitled The Bel
giau DISCLOSURE in which you indica te
that now, for the first time, the public
IS being informed of the tentative ar
rangement which President Wilson en-
cred into (subject to the approval of
Congress), to join with the British and
French governments in accepting Ger

in Troy. The two new troop units will
be stationed at Malone and in the
southern tier. The state police head is
highly pleased with Governor Miller's
approval of his plan for training

kind in the country. He believes ii

ourang the course of the Peace Confer
epce at Paris, and again little over
year ago in this country? In fact. in
January, - 1920, when the government of
1elgium was issuing here a public loan
ot S25,0o0,00o, the following concrete
statement was printed and had wide
publicity:
ihe Peace Treaty, Article 232, pro
V'des that Germany shall reimburse
She belglan government for all sums
borrowed from the Allied and associ-
eted governments UP to November IL.
lste. This reimbursement is to be in
the form of special issue of bearer
geld notes. MIR. Wilson, NJ. Clemen-
ceau and Mr.. Lloyd George advised the
belgian government that they would
Recommend to their respective parlia-
mentary bodies that the governments
of the United States, France and Great
Britain should accept in satisfaction of
all advances made to The Belgian gov
ernment up to November IL, 1918, an
equivalent amount of bonds of the Ger
man government delivered on account
OF reparation.'
Plan Meant Much for Belgium
"The formal documents in the case
which President Wilson communicated
to Congress the other day throw little
that is new upon the situation, little
that was not publicly discussed at the
time of the Peace Conference, and ap-
parently, approved, upon the ground
that the arrangement proposed meant
so much advantage to Belgium and lit
tie or no sacrifice to America.
