BRUSSELS, August 29.-The mem
bers of the Belgian debt funding mis-
sion, who have returned from Wash
ington, deny that there are any secret
clauses in the agreement reached with
the United States concerning the Bel
gian debt. They emphasize that such
an arrangement was impossible be-
to ratify any accord.
The first payment to the United
States on December Is, 1925, they con-
slider relatively unimportant, creating
no difficulties for the Belgian treas
ury. They affirm the conviction that
even though no new loan is envisaged
as present, it is certain that Belgium's s
credit would be favorably influenced
by ratification of the accord and that
more favorable conditions for Bel
gium in the American market could
be foreseen.
Unfortunately for the debtors, the
delegates explain in their statement,
the whole debt question has become a
pivot in American internal politics.

They sum up their impressions as
follows: 1.-The discussion was on a
purely business basis; it was a ques-
ton of figures more than sentiment,
because in business Americans go
straight to the point"
The members of the mission lay
stress on the fact that the accord con-
formed with the views of the Belgian
government, as Brussels was informed
hour by hour during the progress of
the negotiations of the difficulties en-
countered.
Belgium's representatives will sub
