McCORMACk'S STATEMENT

From French Quarters That
France Was Not Contem-

MccORMAck's STATEMENT

Washington, Feb. 18.-Senator
Mccormack of Illinois in a statement
issued today commenting on assert
tions in certain French quarters to
the effect that the government of
that country was not contemplating
the payment of its debt to the United
States and payment of the debt was
dependent on receipts from Germany
and liquidation of the Russian debt to
France declared the American loans
to European governments were
made in good faith" and that no
Russian or other conditions were at
tached to their payment"
The payment Of the interest due
from the several European states is
of more immediate moment to tax
payers of the country than the ulti-
mate payment of capital debt since to
the amount of this unpaid interest
the American tax payer is paying for
European ornaments.
