AMERICA PAYS DEBT
TO SPAIN IN 70 YEARS
BY Universal servie>.

MARID, Oct. 15.-The American
colonies repaid Spain in less than q
yearr the sum loaned the colonies
during the American revolution. This
is revealed by the Spanish archives
here and is particularly interesting
in view of the failure Of the debt
negotiations with France.
The documents in the archives in
Madrid show that Spain loaned
America S,744,326 reales between
1776 and 1779. The sum represented
. close to half q million dollars
large sum for those days; the first
loan was RENTED By Marquis de
Grimaldi in 1776.
In 1874 Spain became pressed for
money. The Spanish government
made representa- tons TO the Ameri-
can government for repayment Of the
war loans which the Spanish claim
contributed much to the successful
outcome of the revolution.
On May 10, IDS, Secretary Of
State Oliver Woolcott advised the
Spanish government that the United
States of America had now repaid
in full al loans and obligations 10
Spain.

Senator Key Pittman, Democrat. Of
Nevada, who recently returned from
France. said:
Cutting off private loans to France
may seem a bitter pill for that coun-
try now. but the French people will
thank the United States in the long
run.
The French people need TO be
awakened 10 the fact that their poll
ticians are misleading them. Poll
ticians seeking personal aggrandize-
ment have told the people they do not
owe the United States anything.
Some one Of Clemenceau's force
ought TO tell them the truth. II may
cause a stir. but they should know
that the finances of their nation are
being bungled and that eventually the
people will have TO pay for It"
