thus Aabinuy was not incurred for the British
government. but for the other allies. and that
the United States in making the original ar
rangemonts, had insisted in substance that
though the other allies were to use the money
borrowed, Il was only on British security that
the United States was prepared to lend it, II is
apparent from the inquiries which have reached
the treasury department that It is supposed that
this, in substance Is the explanation of the
isting Indebtedness of Great Britain,
In answer 10 these inquiries IL should he said
that the obligations OF foreign governments in
question, had their origin almost entirely in
purchases made in tho United States and the
advances by tho United states government were
for the purpose OF covering payments for those
purchases by the allies.
The statement that the United States gov
ernment virtually insisted upon a guarantee by
the British government OF amounts advanced to
the other allies Is evidently based upon a mis-
apprehension Instead OF insisting upon guar
antee or any transaction OF that nature the
United states government took the position that
1t would make advances to each government to
cover the purchases made by that government
ana would not require any government TO give
obllgauons for advances made to cover the pur-
ehases OF any other government. Thus the ad-
VahceS TO the British government, evidenced by
lts obllsations, were made TO cover its own pur-
chases, and advances were made to the other
alNes 10 cover their purchases" -----.

Gladys Doran really had encour-

berance of how bicycle riding had
evaded her so long then suddenly
seemed so easy. She applied herself
more closely than ever. fretted less
about her failures, let her small sue

Cora noticed an improvement.
