representations to France on the subject
Of the war loans redemption. Snowden
holds strong views on the subject and
will do everything he can to secure
what is regarded here as q just and
equitable settlement of the French OBJ
ligations-payHent according TO the
rate of exchange when France, in dire
need, succeeded in inducing British In
Vestors to subscribe for 1,64i ,000, 600
francs, worth of bonds.
The French contention Is that no
favor can be shown the British sub
scribers, as the French investors are be-
ing paid in the present deprecated
franc.
The prosperous state of France today
and the fact that she holds more gold
than any other country except Amer
lea, only serves to harden British opin-
lon in favor of repayment of the loans
at the rate at which they were sub
scribed. Edward Short, former cab
met minister and chairman of the
British Bondsholders Committee, says 1t
could be the most dishonest thing any
country ever did if repayment is made
in the deprecated French currency.
