A BRITISH VIEW
“LESS EXACTING BARGAIN.” “WE ARE ENTITLED.” Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received January 31, 10.15 p.m.) OTTAWA, January 31. In a speech’ttt’Montreal,- Sir Robert Horne, ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, said: “Britain will pay the debt to the United States in full, but we are entitled to a less exacting bargain than was arranged during the war. “It must be remembered that Britain not only left the amount, .of loan cash in the United -States,, but the total amount of money spent there by her exceeded the British debt to the United States. Britain, if she made a full return of debt now, would be paying more than she originally received, owing to the difference in cross rates now and then.” ■ ■
