London, Aug. 3.-(By the A. BO-To-
 days debate in the house of commons cn
 inter-allied debts and German repara- tions. which it had been expected would
 bring out further interesting facts re-
 specting the recent note of the Earl Of
 Balfour on the subject and regarding
 Great Britain's future policy on the
 whole subject of international obiiga- tions proved disappointing.
 It was apparent that Premier Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchcouer Horne. Herbert H. Asquith, one of the liberal leader, and other speakers made a studied effort to say nothing which would ebarrass open and impartial dis 1 cussion of the subject at next week s a.lied conference.
 Sir Robert S.. Horne, the chancellor. said Great Britain had no intention of suggesting any alteration of her financial obligations to the United States. that
 the government recognized to the full Great BritaiR's obligations to pay the debt and we do not mean in my shane
 or form to evade that obligation | Laughter greeted Mir Asquith's state ment that the United States knew Great l Britain was dealing in paper figures l when she emphasized the enormous ex-
 pense of Europe's obligations.

quith. The premier called attention te Mir. Asquitll's desire for a clean slate. He said that was exactly what Lord Bal four's note had advocated.
 But it is not clean slate" tse prem fer added. when you wipe oif every debt due us and when you engrave more deep ly upon the slate the debt which Is due by us to other people. that isn't a clean slate. Ii neither cleans it nor adorns it nor makes 1t more useful for further use'
 The premier conc,uded by saying that he did not expect next weeks con ference to settle the situation He de- clared that the world must judge Ger many's capacity 10 pay. not by lump sum, but by the weath she could transmit across her frontier.
 NIT. Asquith expressed the opinion that the American debt ought to be kept quite distinct from European matters and depreciated any suggestion that the United States was under any obIigs- tion. moral or even sentimental. to waive it's debt
 You may pay an excessive prics for strict logic. even in the interest of ab- stract justice" Mir. Asquith declzrsj.
 Josiah C. Wedgwood. laborite. contend ed that what was required was a differ ent spirit throughout Europe It was useless to cancel debts unless there was a guarantee that the money thus saved would not be spent on ornaments. and that the waste of money beng spent on the armies occupying the Rhine was no ito be continued
 Alr. Lloyd George emphasized that the reparations commission, acting under the treaty of Versailles, had the power 70 revise the amount of reparations with out departure from the treaty. Continuing, Mir. Lloyd George agreed that If Germany were pressed too hard she might be driven to despair. There would be lots of trouble, ne said, but no cash. Therefore 1t would be a mistake to press Germany beyond her limits of endurance.
 At the same time the premier deDre' cated understanding Germany's cs-
 pacity to pay. He said that Germany like the rest of the world, was suffering
 from a bad trade situation ThereforS this was not the time to estimate he' , full capacity.
 The premier concluded by sayini
 when the allies met next Monday. he de
 sired to be fair, but he distinctly cb ! jected to the idea that the presen trouble was to be settled at the expens of Great Britain and of the British tax | payer who. he said. already bore .
 greater burden than any other taxpaye in the world. we will give fairness to German, i; and justice to France; but justice mean also justice to the people of our ovl
 land,"- the premier declared.
