MORE THAN It GETS
Full Reparations Win Not
Cover Debt InstaIImentS,
Churchill Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. March %. - Winston
Churchill. chancellor os the ex-
chequer. told the House of Commons
yesterday that even If the full Dawes
payments We're received from Ger
many for so years from now, Great
Britain would not receive a sufficient
amount to cover her payments TO the
United States. including payments
made in the past before anything was
received from her creditors
His statement was made in answer
To questions by members of the House
anxious to clear up the British posi-
tion with reference to the recent
statement of Andrew w. Mellon.
American Secretary of the Treasury,
on the debts owed to the United
states and German reparatious
Considers Policy Binding.
Mr. Churchill added that in accord
anCe with the policy of the BalfOur
note. the British government had un-
dertaken to make prOportionata
abatement In the next payment due
IL in the event that the aggregate re-
ceipts FOR reparations and war debts
exceeded the aggregate payments tn
the United States. Consequently. I'm
no circumstances could the govern
fnent retain any excess over it's pay
ments to the United States. The
British government considered this
undertaking binding.
The chancellor declined to agree
with some of L.o @.a~saAAn1 assump-
tion that Secretary Melons state
ments had been misleading. and
promised further explanations when
in possession of authoritative reports
of the Secretary's statement
Payments to Exceed Receipts.
Mr.. Churchill said that Great
Britain's payments to the United
States in 1927 would be about three
times her receipts from Germany for
reparations. He added that Great
Britain should receive about f22.25O.-
600 from her foreign debtors, and
would pay the United States about
f33 900 600.
Secretary Mellon, i'm a letter to
President Hibben of Princeton Uni
versity, made public March Is. said
that Great Britain'S schedule Of pay
ments from her debtors called for a
substantial amount more than she
would have to pay the United States
on her American debt. The Secre-
tary added that it was true that
Great Britain had agreed not To ac-
cept more from her debtors than the
sums which, when added to repara-
tion payments. would equal those
which she pays the United States.
Even taking this into consideration,
the Secretary's letter said, ii was
obvious that the statement that the
debt agreements which the United
states had made impose tremen-
dous burden of taxation on a friendly
country was not accurate)
