Cated violent attack by Repre-.
sentative Louis. T. McFadden
IR0, OF Pennsylvania.
Deception Charged
McFadden charged:
state and Treasury depart
ment officials have deliberately
deceived the Congress and the
people of the United States in
settling German reparations."
Under the measure passed the
united States agreed to relinuuiSh
an additional 10 per cent OF her
claims on Germany for occupa-
tlonal army costs and mixed
claims in order to insure the ac-
ceptance of the Young plan by
allied nations.
This diminiSheS the present ac-
count between Germany and the
, United States by almost $30,000,-
900. Yesterdays agreement pro-
V1ded for the payment by Ger
many to the United States of
$164,670,421 with interest at 35s
per cent, total of about $249,-
100000 spread over a period of 81
years.
Under the mixed claims settle
ment, the United States will re-
ceive approximately $9,700.000 an
nually for period of So years.
Motion Ruled Out
McFadden opposed the bill on
the ground that it inferentially
constituted American approval of
the Young plan, and the Bank
for International Payments. His
amendment that the German
war payments to the United
States be completely divorced
from allied debts to the United
States was ruled out on a point
of order. He declared:
"The unofficial Government
has held itself above and free
from the obligation of good
faith and has negotiated
secretly, and its efforts have
eliminated in the request for
the enactment of this innocent
appearing bill, which will put
the Young plan into operation
in the United States"
