Inequalities In Settlement

There were inequalities in the
debt settlements. Finland and
Great Britain, the first two coun-
tries to fund their debts, contracted
to pay 33 per cent interest. Seven
other countries promised to pay the
same average rate. Belgium, how
ever, was charged only 1.8 per cent,
Yugoslavia l per cent, France 1.6
per cent and Italy only 4 per cent.
The enormous difference in the
total payments resulting from this
variation in interest rates is illus
trated graphically by the cases of
Britain and France, the two largest
debtors. France is called on to pay
interest of 50 ,S22, 764, 1O4.17 on a debt
of $4.$25 100000.
Great Britain agreed to pay
$6,505, 965 900 interest - more than
twice as much as France-on debt
of $4,000 900, 900, only $575, O00, 00c
more than that of France.

United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.-The
funding Of Europe's, 100000 900
war debt to America constituted
one Of the bitterest chapters in
postwar diplomatic history.
There was more than a decade
of haggling and stirring resent
ment before the United States
treasury funded Europe's bill for
food and munitions. The settle
ments we're marked by strange in
equalities of treatment.
In the end. the treasury received
promises of debtors to pay between
40 and 81 cents on the dollar, de-
pending on how interest is figured.
In 1919 it was apparent to the
treasury that immediate collection
of the huge debt was impossible in
world of disorganized currencies
and trade.
A loose moratorium Of two or
three years was granted There
were. meanwhile, number Of sug-
gestions from the stronger powers
for settlement.
Refused to Cancel Debts
In 1920, Great Britain, cred
itor to Europe as we'll as debtor
to America, suggested that all debts
be Cancelled. Washington answered
no"
The war debt problem was tackled
in serious way in 1922
Congress set up the World war
debt funding commission. This
body, with Treasury Secretary An
drew Mellon as it's chairman, was
made Americas official collecting
agency. It's sessions lasted from
1922 to 1881. During that period
it funded the obligations of fifteen
countries.
Instructions given this commits
sion by congress seem amusing now
in the light of results. They were:
/. To fund all debts over period
of not more than twenty-five years
2. To charge a minimum interest
rate of Az per cent.
3. To make the funding agree
ments final.
Funded Over 81 Years
Here is what actually happened
Most of the debts we're funded over
sixty-two years. The average rate
of interest specified was 81 per cent
Europe now is pressing for a re-
vision of this entire settlement.
When the commission started its
work, the original debt of $10,296,-
100000 had grown to $1,000, 700, 00O
because of accumulated interest
Most of the original money had
been loaned at per cent. AS the
result of nearly a decade of work,
here is what the commission re-
ceived in promises to pay over
sixty-two years.
On Interest .......... 1868, 6O4,171.27
Total .... ...... 22,2S9, O4O ,OS6.27
just how much the war debts were
reduced has been a matter of debate.
There was almost no reduction in
principal. The cut came in inter-
est.
In a recent study, the Brookings
Institute concludes that the differ
ence between the average interest
rate at which the debts were fund
ed and the interest specified in the
original agreements-5 and 6 per
cent-represents a cut of 51.3 pei
cent. but if the minimum interest
specified by congress, "A per cent
is taken as the established rate
then the concession was 431 pei
cent.
