THE AMERICAN WAR DEBT SETTLEMENT.

WHAT MR. BALDWIN DID.

A controversy has been proceeding re- cently in England on this subject. The London Daily Expzeer has the following comment on the subject:-

IST, 1024

COMPANY REPORT.

HONGKONG REALTY AND TRUST COMPANY.

The`report of the Board of Directors. to be presented at the first ordinary yearly meeting of shareholders is as | follows:-

Accounts-After charging Depreciation Public opinion will not find much diff Equipment and Furniture, the proât on amounting to $418.31 on the Architectural culty in drawing the correct conclusion working account for the riod under re- from the Lloyd George-Baldwin contro-view amounted to $13.78: D1. versy over the American debt settlement. Mr. Lloyd George' obviously made an in-count it will be observed that the whole From the annexed profit and loss në discretion in blessing that settlement while on shipboard and in ignor the preliminary expenses in connection with the formation of the Company, amounting to 35.107.83, have been written off and that further provision for de Preciation has been made, i on office furniture-$169/77-- The-met: -proft of! forward to new account $17.86; your Directors propose to "carry"

nce of its terms. But both in othee and in opposition he has been consistently op posed to any arrangement by which Great Britain paid America and Europe did not pay Great Britain. The instructions given by his Coalition Cabinet in 1 to Sir Robert Horne were clearly what the Army calls "to go and look-gee." and then to report back to the British Gor ernment-which would thus be in a post- tion to consider the relative advantage of postponement, payment, or that inter national debt settlement which Ministers. as the Balfour despatch proves, favoured. Exactly the same type of instruction was given to M. Baldwin when, on the change of Government, he succeeded Sir Robert both as Chancellor and as bead of the Washington Mission-an instruction Mr. Baldwin completely disregarded. In fact, the real interest of the matter lies not in what Mr. Lloyd George thought but in what Mr. Baldwip did.

Mr. Baldwin. started in Washington to negotiate a settlement which so dis turbed his chief, Mr. Bonar Law, that the Premier cabled him to come homo and submit the issus to the Cabinet.

On landing at Southampton, Mr. Baldwin declared, in an interview, that he had alrendy seen red the best and indeed the only possible terms from America.

After this statement, which pre- judged the Cabinet decision. the new Conservative Administration either had to break up or accept the Baldwin terms.

The Spectator on May 20th, 1928, con- gratulated Mr. Baldwin .00 having achieved the American debt settlement off his own but--and in defiance of the views of his chief. This statement was never contradicted, and is confirmed by other published utterances of 3fr. Bonar Law beth in the Commons and outside. Mr. Baldwin is thus personally, and practi- cally solely responsible for the greatest Spancial blunder in British diplomatic history. He has tied a millstone round the neck of the British taxpayer for the next two generations. He threw away the one diplomatie weapon by which we have obtained. with America's an interest and assistance; substantial i

sums from our" European debtors. Mr. Baldwin need not wait fer, the judgment of posterity for the part he here played. Contemporary public opinion, facell with the unpleasant results of his precipitate action, is already busy judging and con- demning him.

MODERN ALCHEMY,

GOLD-FROM-MERCURY

A Berlin correspondent of a London paper writes:

One of the most sober newspapera in Germany has solemnly stated that it" is time to ask pardon of the alchemists of the Middle Ages for the benevolent contempt in which their memory has been held during the past two materialistic Within a fortnight Geheimrat centuries. Professor Dr. Miethe, of the Technical in Charlottenburg, Berlin, and assistant. Dr. Stammreich, hope to nablish a detailed account of how they have made gold out of mercury, with such exact directions that every scientist will be able to follow their example..
