His summary of the debt situation--and be spoke s a responsible' official of the Government-was that the United States was by no means an unliberal lender, that she has not proved so far a hard-hearted creditor, and would be glad to talk with the debtor nations in an effort to ease the burden of their debts during the difficult times of the present, but she does not feel that the present is the time for cancellation, or that, in view of our know- ledge to-day, cancellation can be considered as a way out."-Times.
