| brother Of L. S. Bigham, today con-
tinued his investigation of the trag-
Iedy at the L. S. Bigham home near

Gently had had some trouble with

BRITISH "BAD DEBTS"
TO PAY U. S. PROPOSED
Move to Assign Them to America,
Which Might Be Able to
Collect Them
Collect Them.

Cross-Atlantic Cable Service to The Star
LONDON, January PA PROPOSE
tion for the repayment Of America
for her loans by the assignment Of
loans by Britain to other European
nations is being seriously urged here.
While 1t is fact that Britain expects
most of these European creditors to
default on their payments to her. yet
the advocates Of the transfer Of these
bad debts to America profess to be-
lieve that America could collect. And
they are prepared to advocate an as
signment of credits of almost two to
one to clear the American obligation.
The first proposition is that a pro
ratio from the obligations of all cred
itor nations be assigned until the full
obligation to America be met. Amer
lea is to accept this and do the col
lecting.
Sir Josiah Stamp. the eminent British
authority on taxation. is possibly the
most influential Of the advocates Of
this plan. He points out that Ameri-
ca would be in much better position
to make the collection than Britain.
because the man who takes on bad
debt is far less susceptible to senti-
mental considerations than the orig
inal creditor.
