New British Money
Head Proposes to Pay
u. S. Debt at Once

London, Nov. 1.-(By A. P)-The
new chancellor of the cXchcquer.
Stanley Baldwin, declared tonight
| that his first duty will be to settle
the debt to the United States. He
/ made his announcement in a speech
at Cardiff, when he alluded also to
| the necessity of n prompt settlement
of the reparations problem.
Regarding the amount owing the
United States, he said:
ut is a heavy debt. but we have
told America that we are responsible
for it to the last penny, and we are
going to pay it,"
The chancellor advocated contin-
uance Of close cooperation with
Britain's war time Allies, France and
Italy, and cooperation as far as pos
sib!e hand in hand with America.
There had been no development. to-
day in the quarrel between Mr.. Lloyd
George and Sir George Younger. and
political circles are agog to learn the
upshot of the strange situation. Cur
iosity is increased by the fact that
Mr.. Lloyd George alone Of ell the
party leaders has not yet issued any
election address. In the meantime
he is confined to his home Will
cold. His condition was improved
tonight and he appears confident that
he will be able to speak in London
Saturday.
If Lloyd Gcor~e still intends to
carry out his threat to run his own
candidates against tile Conservatives
he must hasten his decision, because
no additions candidates can be nomi-
mated after Saturday. Despite per-
sistent official denials there is little
doubt that underground negotiations
are afoot but nothing has been al
lowed 10 leak as to their nature or
success.
Premier Bonar Law is credited
with becoming resentful over the PER-
sonal attacks on his ministerial c,l-
leagues and with intending to hit
back vigorously. basing his position
on the ground that Mr. Lloyd George
has been mere or less rejected by all
parties and Is banking on personal
popularity.
In letter addressed to the British
Legion of Former Service Men, the
prime minister explains his attitude
with regard to the pensions ministry
reiterating that nothing is con.cm.
plated against the interests of tho
pensioners.
=. New candidates are being nomi-
mated daily. and there are now nearly
], 400 nominations. A striking fea-
ture is the large numberzof profess
sional men standing under the labor
banner. These include several well
known barristers and authors.
