BRITAIN PLANS
To PAY j. 5.
WAR DEBT
Stanley Baldwin Outlines Brit
ish Policy at First Treas
ury Meeting.
BY w. III. ATKINS,
International News Service Staff
C0rreRDOndenk


Stanley Baldwin, British chan
cellor of the exchequer, in a formal
statement to the American Debt
Funding Commission today, declared
that Great Britain will effect repay
ment of every cent of the $4,000, 0O0,-
900 debt to this country, but desires
settlement upon terms that will
produce the least possible disturb
ance in the trade relations between
the two countries.
Baldwin said that Great Britain in
the present negotiations has no pur-
pose of imposing upon American
generosity. Baldwin said:
1.-THE generosity Of America Is
proverbial. but we are not here 10
ask for favors or to impose upon
Generosity.
1--WE want, on such terms as will
produce the least possible dis
turbance in the trade relations OF
the two countries, fair business
settlement, a square deal, settle
ment that will secure for America
the repayment to the last cent of
those credits which the United
States Government established in
America for US, their associates in
the war.
"Our wish is to approach the
discussion as business men seeking
q business solution of what 10 fund
arnentally a business problem.
May put it this way? We in
tend to pay, but how best can in
ternational credits be made liquid
when the creditor nation is un-
willing to permit liquidation through
the direct delivery of goods, and is
also unwilling to see the current
sale Of her products to the debter
nation interrupted. and when the
debtor nation is unwilling to be put
in the position Of being unable to
buy the products Of the creditor
nation?"
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon,
of the American Commits
sion, in brief statement on behalf
of the United States, declared the
American Commission was no less
sensible than the British mission Of
the extreme desirability, amount
ing to. a virtual necessity" OF eff
fecting definite settlement of the
financial relationship of the two
countries upon a basis entirely just
to both of them.
Secretary Mellon said he saw no
OF rehearsing the puf-
poses OF the conference, and he said
It was significant of Great Britain's
sincere purpose that that govern
ment had paid promptly during the
past three months $100, 100000 of
on the debt. Mellon said
that payment was, to his mind. con.
elusive proof of the right spirit OF
financial integrity" which. he said.
he was proud to say had always
animated both OF the two great
English-speaking nations.

The break between the allies on
German reparations-Gfeat Britain
on one side and France, Italy and
Belgium on the other-n4ay have a
decided influence upon the attitude
OF France and Italy toward the
ratification of the DEGREES Of the
Washington conference, especially
as regards the provisions limiting
naval armament.
Until today the prospect that
both France and Italy would ratify
appeared to be. very good. Poin.
care, BRAND, Viviani and other
leaders in France were strong for
favorable action, and despite the
opposition of certain individual
members of the chamber of depu.
ties, it seemed that approval by
France would follow.
Italy Favored Plan.
And as regards Italy, the pros
poets for ratification were equally
high. It was said that Italy was
only awaiting action by France, and
that she might possibly ratify ahead
of France after the promised set
Element of controversy with China
regarding the distribution among
the allies Of certain German. ships
that were informed in Chinese ports
during the war. In this case
France would have been left alone
in the failure to ratify. The Ital
ians claimed that they had, in fact
already shown their willingness tc
ratify as far as battleship restric
tons were concerned by stopping
work on the battleship Caracciolo
of 81 800 tons; by dismantling the
three battleships, Columbo, Colonna
and Morosini, and by giving up the
contemplated reconstruction of the
Leonardo Da Vinci.
It was, Of course, made plain
during the conference that there
was some bitterness between France
and England on the question OF
limiting the number of submarines
Italy also was interested in the re
tention of submarines. But the diff
ferences between Balfour and
BRAND were finally settled tempo
rarily by the compromise offered
by Mr.. Root imposing upon sub
marines the restriction of interna
tional law as regards attacks upon
merchant ships. And with this pro
vision the treaty was signed by al
the powers.
But the delay in ratification has
brought Mussolini into power in
Italy, and it is now reported that
his government may object to the
restrictions placed upon submarines,
and may not ratify without a reser.
walton on that point.
