RoGBY, Dec, 18

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, in the course of an answer to a Commons question regarding funding agres ments in respect of loans made by Great Britain to other governments since 1918, said the amounts now awed on account of loans made by Britain for relief and reconstruc- tion were

The London Chamber of Com. merce to-day addressed a letter to the Prime Minister in which it urged that the fiduciary issue should be raised so as to offset the £18,750,000 in gold paid to the United States to-day.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, dealing with suggestions on this line, pointed out that during last night's debt payment debate the aduciary issue could only be raised by the Treasury on a representation from the Bank of England.
