STRIKING DEBT, COMPARISONS

London, Dec. 12. The Chancellor of the written Exchequer, in replies to Parliamentary questions, says that if the British war debt to the United States had, from the outset, been settled on the same basis as the French war debt to the United States, the amount which the British Government has already pald, would exceed the amount due on such a basis by C$795,700,000 and no further payment would be due until 1940. Similarly, if the British war debt had been settled on the basis of the Italian Settlement, no further payment would be due until 1955.

If, however, past pay. ments were ignored, and the future payments in respect of the actual capital debt now out. standing, were made on the basis of the French Settlement, the amount payable by the British Government on December 15th would be 22 million dollars instead of C$95,500,000, and simi- larly. If the future pay- ments were made on the basis of the Italian Settle- ment, the amount payable on December 15th would be C$2,750,000 instead of C$95,500,000.

A hint of Britain's likely response to the new situa- tion created was given by Mr. Neville Chamberlain in a speech at Birmingham when he said: "We don't ask that our proposal to the United States be accepted at this stage, but we reserve our right to put it forward at the beginning of the discussions, which, if treated, in the same friendly spirit hitherto shown by both govern- ment, are bound to lead to a settlement.

Mr. Chamberlain also made it clear that there is no question of asking Britain's debtors to pay anything at present.

A full dress debate on war debts will be commenced in the House of Commons to-morrow.-Reuter:
