MA IASHINTIUN, FeD. o
w What does the funding
agreement on the British war
debt mean to the United States
Treasury, and indirectly to the
American taxpayer?
This question has been upper
most in the public mind since an
nouncement came that the British
government had accepted the Amer
lean proposal for settling the payment
of Britain war debt to the United
States.
In brief, the proposition is this:

900.
NTOW, the great question
/ y worrying certain senators
is, "Wnl Great Britain pay the
United States Treasury ultimate
ly as much as the treasury has
to pay out to finance the loan2"
1t is charged by those Yho oppose
the deal that the reduction of interest
rates to 81 per cent win cost the
Treasury and the American tax-pay-
ers. more than $25,O0O,0O0 a year.
This IS because the money which
the United States loaned Britain was
raised by selling Liberty bonds upon
which the treasury IS still paying IN
terest rates ranging from az per cent
on the first Liberties to Az per cont
on the last Victories
For the first few years, the treasury
probably will lose on the deal over
the entire period Of sixty years, how
ever, it may gain, because It IS retir-
ing Liberty bonds from time to time

Lysol is prepared from tar oil by
specialization, and contains about 90
per cent cresols It is soluble in
water, alcohol. chloroform, glycerin
and benzine. Lysol is one of the most
efficient disinfectants on the market
today. With water it forms a clear,
frothy, soapy liquid. This property is
a disadvantage in surgical work re-
quiring the use of instruments, as it
renders them somewhat slippery. For
