BRITAIN SENDS GOLD
TO MEET INTEREST
Part of 500, 100000 Due Soon
on War Debt Already
Stored Here.
Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. g., Sept. @.

New York Herald bureau.
Washington, ID. g., Sept. O.
Great Britain gradually Is accumu-
lating in New York a gold fund OF
800, 900, 900 to meet the interest pay
ments on the British debt to the United
states. A considerable amount OF this
gold already arrived and shipments will
continue till October 10 and November
Is, when interest payments are to be
made.
Whether the payment on the interest
due will amount to $100, 100000 depends
on adjustments which will not be
cleared up until the arrival of the
British Funding Commission in October.
Admission in Government fiscal circles
that gold had arrived and that more
was on its way confirmed dispatches
from London that the British chancellor
of the exchequer had made an announce
ment in the House of Commons that the
necessary gold 10 meet the payments had
been Withdrawn from the Government
reserve in the Bank of England.
The statement Of the chancellor Of the
through American official sources,
follows:
Gold has ben withdrawn from the
reserve for the purpose of shipment to
the United States of America in Nconnec-
tion with the dollar requirements of the
Government, more particularly the ap-
preaching interest payment on the Brit
ish debt to the United States Govern
ment. There is no present intention to
replace the whole of the gold in the cur
rency note reserve by Bank of England
notes.
Under present arrangements, whereby
Great Britain is called on to pay inter-
est after the three year suspension, there
would be due about s65. 900, 900 on April
D and on October Is and around $685.
100000 on May 15 and November Is,
each, making approximately an annual
payment of $500, 1000 900. The payment
contemplated for October and November
is semi annual installment
In accordance with the program of the
Treasury the interest of British debt
four and quarter per cent on S4,4T0,-
100000. would be applied to the retire
ment of Liberty Bonds. Both the Liberty
loan acts of April "a, 1917, and Septem-
Der I'd, 1917, authorize foreign debt pay
ments to be used for retirement pur-
poses. although the act of September
specified that only principal was to be
used for this purpose.
The British officials here for some
time past have been indicating their de-
sire to pay some of the interest due.
They have at the same time, however,
pointed out that the shipment of that
amount of gold from Great Britain or
an attempt to exchange British currency
for gold in this country would have a
depressing effect on the pound sterling
exchange.
The Importance Of this contention was
recognized here as the depressioniof the
-. rf-..t
American trade with Great Britain by
putting the American exporters at that
much disadvantage with their foreign
competitors. This is regarded as an i'm
portant phase of the situation, which will
be taken up when the British fiscal ex-
perts sit round the table here with the
American foreign debt commission.

When Senator Robinson tArk)
brought up the injunction proceeding in
the Senate to-day Senator Watson
dnd.) supported tho Administrations
action In a vehement defense.
"A great national crisis confronted the
country" he said. There was nation
wide coal strike and nationwide rail-
way strike. The people of the United
States were threatened with freezing
and with starvation and with unutter-
able disaster during the approaching
winter Every effort at negotiations ana
conciliation that human ingenuity could
devise was made. Everybody worked
at II.

Of his great office to bring the parties
together with view TO settling botn
disputes. but no settlement could pe

THE whole. transportation system or
the United States was threatened with
paralysis Under those circumstances
the Attorney General. of course at the
instance and at the request OF the Presi-
dent, went into a Federal court for the
purpose OF asking for temporary IN
junction or restraining order until the
whole matter could be determined on Its
merits"
The New York herald., 1922-09-07
Query and Answer.

After further debate Senator Watson
asked Senator Robinson how he thought
the strike should be settled.
Senator Robinson replied: Congress
having left the parties the privilege of
effecting a settlement. the only way the
strike can be settled lawfully now is by
express or implied agreement OF the
parties to the strike. Let the Senator
understand that as my position"
but the Senator took the position
while ago that he did not object to the
issuance of this injunction" said Sem
ator Watson.
"Oh, Mr.. President, / object to the
issuance of this injunction" replied
Senator Robinson, because 1t violates
the laws OF the United States and seeks
TO infringe the constitutional rights OF
citizens of the United States. j say you
cannot under the law settle strike by
al Injunction. IF the Senator wants TO
make That an issue in addition TO the
one ] sed, 1 assert that you have no
authority Of law to Issue an injunction
to settle & strike. although you have
apparently done that in this case"
Iii concluding his speech Senator
Watson said THE Senator has said
that the President cra 0ged front on
the propositi Tl deny. The
President was under o obligation as
the Exc 'Nc t0 terfsr. in any way
with thes moving the
situation impending

proceeded he. in Judgment, went
further than he need TO have gone in
order to bring about reconciliation be-
tween the contending factions.
when conference after conference
had been held, he having both sides at
the White House several times :.
when negotiations had signally failed
to bring peace TO the industrial situa-
tion of the country, then and then only
did the President OF the United States
instruct the Attorney-General to bring
the injunctive proceedings.
What else could be done? The mails
were being interfered with. Interstate
commerce was being interfered with.
The free transportation OF freight and
passengers and the mails was being In
terfeied with. Is the Government alb
soiuteiy helpless In a situation CT this
kind? Have the 1l0.000,0o0 OF people

the strikers themselves are bound to

''If that is so. then this exercise Of
the power to regulate commerce Is still

cannot escape that by declaring an emcr-
gency, as II Is proposed to do in the

cate Of the profiteer. because claim

We do regulate from Washington, the

dition Of all business to-day. Its prices
