BRITISH PAY ONLY
THEIR OWN Debt
No Other Nations Liability to
United States Guaranteed,
Mr., Mellon Explains.

Washington, D. C.-FundIng Of the
s4,13J, 100000 war debt owed by Great
Britain to the United States was de-
clared by Secretary Mellon to have no
relation to the war loans made by the
United States and Great Britain to
other governments or to questions
arising in connection with rcparations
payments of the former central powers,
Reports have been published, Mr..
Mellon said, that the British liability
was not incurred for the British gov
eminent but for the other allies and
that the United States in making the
original arrangements had insisted in
substance that though the other allies
were to use the money borrowed, 1t
was only on British security that the
United States was prepared to lend 1t.
THE statement that the United
States government virtually insisted
upon guarantee by the British gov
eminent Of amounts advanced to the
other allies is evidently based upon a
Misrepresentation. Instead Of insisting
upon a guarantee or any transaction of
that nature, the United States govern
ment took the position that 1t would
make advances to each government to
cover the purchases made by that gov
eminent and would not require any
government to give obligations for adj
vances made to cover the purchases OF
any other government. Thus, the ad.
vances to the British government evil
denced by its obligations, were made to
cover its own purchases"
