LIABILITY DENIED.
AUSTRIA’S DEBT TO BRITAIN.
THE ATTITUDE OF GERMANY
(United Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, May 30.
The Berlin correspondent of “The Times” says that the economic adviser to the British Government (Sir Frederick Leith-Ross) after negotiations with the German Ministry of Economics disclosed that Germany had refused in principle to recognise the guaranteed Austrian loans as German obligations. This suggested that something might be paid, but qo offer was as yet forthcoming.
The Germans mentioned several precedents for their attitude, including Britain not accepting the responsibility for Boer debts after the South African war, but it can be pointedi out that Germany did not regard the anschluss as a conquest.
