WAR DEBTS
GOODWILL OF THE ALLIES,
AMERICA’S CLAIMS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received Jan. 10, 1.50 p.m. PARIS, Jan. 0. M. Clementel, in a statement to the press, expressed satisfaction at the goodwill shown by all the Allies in the conference. He counted on at least maintaining the 52 per cent, of the reparations allotted to France. Mr. Churchill regarded the Balfour Note as the guiding principle’in bis policy in regard to debts, but there was no need to imagine that lie was pledged to it. M. Clementel said be believed an agreement was not impossible, but must not be expected to be realised immediately, because it was not within the scope of the conference.
Newspapers anticipate that America will onrain priority from Germany in cash payments in regard to her occupation expenses. The Chicago Tribune understands that Mr. Churchill suggested that the payment of all American claims for the occupation expenses and reparations should be spread over forty years, while Logan favours a period of 24 years.-
