From the polemics and the ill-tem-
per of the latest British note tc
France. one striking fact energies ::
That Great Britain is ready officially
to abandon her end of the credit bal
ance of nearly fifty billion gold marks
and is asking from Germany and the
allies 14,20O,000,00O gold marks,
which is the sum Great Britain has
agreed to pay the United States.
Frances final minimum credit
claim of 26.000,000.000 gold marks
and Belgium's claim of five billion
plus, are in each case what these coun-
tries must pay to Great Britain and
the United States. Adding the known
claims of Great Britain, France and
Belgium. the German debt reaches
roughly over 45,000,000,000 10 which
