BRITAIN MUST
PAY WAR DEBT
u. S. Will Not Consider
Cancellation of Big
Amount Due
CONGRESS UNITES
AGAINST IDEA

WASHINGTON. Aug s.-(United
Prss. "A chorus OF emphatic "noes''
from members OF Congress today
greeted the British debt cancellation
proposals.
There was every indication that
there has not been the slightest
weakening Of the position taken all
along by American legislators. who
have not only unofnclally but by
legislation made IL clear that the
American people expect Europe TO
repay dollar for dollar plus interest
the $1,000. 900. 900 war debt.
The debt refuDdlng bill passed
some time ago by Congress stands
as a barrier against the British
proposal. Before this government
could even entertain the idea Of can
collation.. Congress would have to
repeal the debt bill. II was pointed
out today. II absolutely ties the
hands OF executive officers OF the
governments so far as cancellation
proposals are concerned
Even II this law did not stand in
the way the soldier bonus bloc in
Congress would. After seeking
vainly some means OF taxation that
would pay the bonus and not i'm
pose new burdens on the people,
Senatorial bonus advocates have vir-
tually decided to pass a bill based
upon expectation OF collection OF
the foreign debt.
But the prime consideration in
the attitude OF Congress in
hexibly against debt cancellation is
the known attitude OF the American
people. President Wilson expressed
this when he declined TO entertain
proposals made by
Lloyd George just after the war.
Wilson said in effect that the Amer
lean people would never stand for
Il because II was their money,
much OF Il representing the most
rigorous wartime sacrifices not only
Of luxuries. but even OF comforts.
Congress believes the popular po-
sitlon Is unchanged. In an election
year marked by popular unrest and |
he dethroning of political favorites
he Legislators are trying 10 keep
heir finger on the public pulse. |
Their comments today on the Brit
lsh proposal indicate a strong belief
that II would be political suicide ever
10 consider debt cancellation.
