DATA GIVEN
By GEORGE lei. MANNING
washington Correspondent of the
Perth AmbOy Evening NeWs)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-Even if
it should turn out that the terms
of the debt settlement with Great
Britain new before congress will
cost the American people approx
nlately two and a half billion dol
lars, as claimed by some opponents

no more than two cents each month
for every person in the United
States it was pointed out to the

man, of Plainfield, N. J.
The opponents of the British debt
settlement claim that it will be a
donation of S2,449,635,218.40 by the
American people to the British gov
eminent, because England wiz pay
only 3 and 31A per cent interest on
its loan while the American gov
erpment is paying from II to 5 per
cent on Liberty and victory bonds
from the proceeds of which the
money loaned to England came.
