today.
Great Britain still is prepared, 1t
was stated, to carry out the policy
of Chancellor of the Exchequer
Churchill that England will expect
equal payments from France when
it makes payments to the United
States on its war debt.
In some quarters the old hope
has been aroused that France may
obtain from the United States better
funding terms than these accorded
Great Britain. IL France does OBJ
tain a reduction then England too
will expect a lower schedule OF In

It was conceded in Governmental
circles, however, that any such
concession to Great Britain would
be an agreeable. but an entirely
unexpected surprise. Churchill al.
ready has set aside money for next
years payments to the United
States on the British war debt, and
did not include in his program any
