LOndon.-Prlme Minister Bonar Law
alphabetically argued In the House OF
Commons the imp0sslbility Of Great
Britain paying the American debt
while receiving nothing from Germany.
France or Italy. He said he was con-
WINGED such policy would reduce the
standard Of living In this country for
generations.
Germany is very near to complete
collapse. the prime minister told the
House Of Commons. He declared that
this was the only Information he
could give the House on the subject
Of reparatiOns.
He said there was almost no hope
Of solution of the reparations ques-
ton unless Great Britain and France
acted together.
The British government. he de-
clared. could not look with equanlmIty
upon any action, by an ally which
would have the effect, not OF reducing
reparatlons, but Of making 1t more
difficult, II not impossible. to obtain
them.
He said the opposing views were
held abroad that England had no In
terest In the reparatiOns and could
afford to fUrexo not only her share
OF the reparatiOnc. but the debts Ow-
ing her from the European countries
and ut the same time pay enormous
sums to the United States.
He did not wish to say q word In
criticism Of America. because he be-
lieved America today was the nearest
to Great Britain In ideals and that
the United, States entered the late
war without any motive Of gain but
solely to help the world in Its great
struggle. t
Had we adopted different meth
ods," he SAID, 1--WE might have had to-
day much les. unemployment. and the
world would have recognised through
our less sound financial position that
we were not In position, to pay these
large sums. That Ii the unfairness nj
It,"
The effect of the unemployment. he
described US terrible, declaring that
unless there WAS u trade Improvement
within reasonable time. Britain
would reach u position which. In his
opinion, would be worse than almost
amy of the allied countries.
In outlining the British policy to-
ward Germany, he said that the gov
eminent was no. thinking Of past mis-
takes or Of enmi!y, but only desired
to find the best method VI ASCERTAIN
ing the amount Germany could pay.
"If Germany ever does recover" he
added, "she vii. be In far better po-
sition to pay these indemnities than
we should be to pay our debt to Amer.
lea. That Is u fact"
He admitted that all the evidence
showed Germany to be very near u
complete collapse, and that no i'm
proveinent was possible until the mark
was stabilized.
But the tragedy is" he said, that
every economist agrees that that very
qualification will In Itself produce
, similar collapse Of Industry to that
which we have already experienced"
