WILL NOT CANCEL debt
Treasury Department Sends an In
formal Answer 10 England.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-There
can never be general cancellation
OF war debts on the basis Of equality
among the nations OF the world, so
far ns the United States Is con-
cerued.
The first announcement came
from the treasury department
today in the shape OF an Informal
reply TO the Balfour note in which
Great Britain virtually recon- mends
such n proceeding.
Not only this view represents the
policy OF the treasury department
nut It Is also the Views OF the Amer
lean funding commission which con-
gress created for the express pur-
pose OF collection--not cancelling the
1000. 100000 which European
governments owe the United states.
In stating this policy, an official
spokesman for both the funding
commission and the treasury de-
partment was careful to emphasize
that Great Britain has not suggested
such course In any OF the corre-
spondence that has passed between
the government on debt matters.
The suggestion IN the Balfour
note. however. was so prominent
that cognizanco was taken of it even
though the United States received
a copy Of the document only "for It's
Information" md was not ad-
dressed officially.
