LONDON, February 22. Replying to Sir W. H. Davison in the House of Commons as regards the British Government's indebtedness to the United States, in connection with which he stated that very common misapprehension existed. Mr. Austen Chamberlain said that $500,000,000 which the British and French bad repaid in autumn was raised by them on, the New York market. The United States never loaned anything before entering the war and Britain was never asked to guarantee any loans made by the United States to the Allies. He expressed the opinion" that Britain would not have found it. necessary to borrow from the United States at all if she had not had to meet allied calls for assistance.

At a banquet in his honour at the National Liberal Club, Viscount Grey Humphrey v. K. Yamasaki and H referred to British and American relations. He declared that the people of the United States seemed to be very conscious of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and discussed the possibility of it involving Britain and America in war, but they did not seem to be aware of the existence of the Anglo- American Arbitration Treaty which would make war impossible if observed.
