America It not going to permit the people Of Europe to continue to develop I A spirit of animosity toward the 1 United States on account of war J debt* If there Is a possible way to ' prevent it. This is the true meaning of the aaalysiH just Issued by Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon showing > that the United States has been ; more generous than Oreat Britain i In the matter of war debts. Ordinarily such a comparison ' would never have been made pub , aeni auer Mdni a Mlkstlon h mMimentcd Met. the 1 lie for it implies In a sense that ? the British 'drove a harder bargain , than did the American commls- 1 aioners in negotiating with France^ I Mt officials here felt justified in imung the comparison because the effort of all the European itoteamen. including the British, \ Stly has been to give the im- 1 ion that the demands of the ? td States have made it neces- j ggry to pay war debts, implying flat otherwise full cancellation ! might have been considered. Indeed In the British-French 1 agreement there la a clause which provides that payments by France to Great Britain will be scaled dbWn If at any time German rep aration payments to the British are In excess of the sums needed to pay the United States. When Sec y Mellon points out ! that the Untied Butts has In ef- 1 f*ct cancelled all Indebtedness in curred by France during the war) and Is asking now only for pay ment of the ao -called commercial debt after the armlatlce'he Is pre- 1 itlng a version of the whole i has never before been ited upon officially. In I British have asked and have received a very high rate of Interest on money advanced to , France since the armistice. American offlclala are growing ItPfiaiJent over the studied at- ? tempts abroad to picture Uncle1 flam as a hard creditor. , It in noticed aignlflcantly here. to r Instance, that there are no pa rades of protest by French vet- , M-ans against the British-French battlement and that In the next , five years Oreat Britain has re quired much heavier payments from France than baa the United States. Three years from now France ! J lust begin to pay Great Britain 40.000.000 as agalnat $32,500.-' ?06 to the United Statea. On the* fourth year Franca la to pay Am- ' Sr'lca 932,600,000 whereas she Is j required to pay Oreat Britain SCO. ?00,000. Thet) In ibe fifth j yeir, France Is to pay 935,000,000 | to the United Statee, but the pay- j meat to England agreed upon Is I to be 962,600. In the first five years the total payments by the French people to the British gov ernment amount to 9202,600.000 aa contrasted with only 9160. 000, ?00 u> the United States. ?II economists agree that the crtflefcl time for France Is the next five years. The frane la at the ioweet point since the war. If there ever was a time when France needed a reduction of Indebted ?lt waa In the flret five years fee 62 year period allowed for payment for the whole debt. It inceded that five and ten yesrs l now Frsnce will be In s bet ter poeltlon to pay her debts than she Will be In the neit few yeara. Under the circumstances the American Government feels that the greater measure of generosity haa been ac corded by the United States to France. It la more evident every day that the psrads of the French veterana did more harm than good so far aa the United 8tates Is con- 1 rented for It stirred up a spirit of resentment that the French Gov ernment and prees should hsve permitted the people of France to I be misled about the facts of the > wsr debts.
