WE STILL HOLD THE RAG.

rzE external debt OF Great Britain decreased dur
4 ing the British fiscal year ending March to the ex-
tent Of fii7i5 600.
In the period the external debt Of Great Britain
to the United States account OF unpaid interest was
increased by over s2OOOOoO0O.
This is a state Of affairs that the people Of the United
States do not view with equanmity
The British are anxious to pay of their obligations to
other nations not only make effort to reduce their
debt to this country but permit 1t to increase through
annual additions OF interest charges.
1t is understood that the armaments conference will be
followed by international financial discussion that will
include negotiations for the funding and eventual pay
ment OF the European debt to America.
That is a consummation devoutly to be hoped for.
