NATIONS' WAR DEBTS.
SUGGESTED CANCELLATION.
OPPOSITION IN AMERICA,
(Received February 3, 6.55 p.m.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.
A proposal reported to have been made by the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, in the House of Commons to-day for a general cancellation of reparations and war debts caused no immediate reaction in official circles at Washington. It met with a cold reception in the Senate, however. Mr. R. Smoot (Republican—Utah) said he thought it was hardly necessary to reiterate his opposition and that of many other members of the Senate to the British proposal. The whole country knew how he stood on that. Mr. D. A. Reed (Republican—Pennsylvania) said ho was perfectly convinced that the position of Congress had been made clear and that it was not going to be altered.
