BRITAIN'S DANGEROUS POSITION
PAYING CREDITORS, BUT UNPAID . HERSELF,
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COFIRIOHT.) (AUSTRALIAK-NgVr ZEALAND CABLI ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 20th August. The "Morning Post" aays : "If America's financial assistance in war time is to be treated by the Debt Commission as an investment, America's part in war will necessarily assume a very different complexion from, the part taken by the' Allies." The "Financial Times" finds satisfaction that the United States, "which displayed such unconcealed eagerness to secure her pound of fleßh from other debtors," recognised - that Belgium was entitled to lenient treatment. The "Daily Mail" says: ''Britain is paying everybody, and none of her debtors is paying her except Poland and Latvia. This must lead to^intense suffering, and perhaps even gradual destruction of British trade arid industry. Britain has a right to expect that payments to America should be accompanied by equal payment* to Britain, We believe that the fairness of this claim has been generally recognised in America, as well as that if more favourable terms are granted by America to other" countries, the British agreement ought to be similarly modified.
