BRITISH DEBT
NO RELATION TO
OTHER LOANS
Secretary Mellon Inter-
prets Status Foreign
Indebtedness
British Loan Made Only on Her
Own Security - Not Linked
With German Reparations-
Each Foreign Nation Must
Assume Own Obligations

Washington, Aug. 24.-Funding Of
the s4.135, 100000 war debt owed by
Great Britain to the United States
was declared today by Secretary Mel
Ion 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 reparations payments Of the for
mer Central Powers.
The trca sury secretary made his dee
laraton with respect to the British
debt in formal statement issued, he
said, on account of numerous inquiries
reaching the treasury as to the exact
status of the obligations of the va
riouS European governments held by
the United States with respect TO the
British debt. Mr Mellon said that
the British liability was not incurred
for the British government but for
the other Allies and that the United
States in making the original arrange
though the other Allies were to use
the money borrowed, it was only on
British security that the United States
was prepared % lend it.
Mr.. Mellon quoted from a memoran-
dun handed the British ambassador
by the treasury in June, 1918, setting
forth that the treasury deemed it "a
cardinal principle" that each allied
government should give its own obli-
cations for commodities purchased
and from another memorandum handed
the British ambassador in June, 1920,
which said:
1T has been al all times the view of
the Uunited States treasury that ques-
tions regarding the indebtedness of
the government of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland to the
United VStatcs government and the
funding of such indebtedness had no
relation either to questions arising
concerning the war loans of the Unit
cd States and of the United Kingdom
to other governments or to questions
as to reparations payments Of the Cen
trail Powers of Europe.
From these two Statements Sec.
Mellon said. 1t appears to be quite
clear that the respective borrowing
nations each gave their own obliga-
tions for the money advanced by the
United States and that no guarantee
of the obligations of one borrowing
nation was asked from any other ma
tion. This is the understanding of
the treasury as to the status of the
foreign obligations growing out Of the
war. now held by the United States.
Some treasury officials were inclined
to the view that inquiries as to the
status of the British and other foreign
obligations had been made as result
Of the recent note of the Earl Of Bal
