By Telegraph.—Press Association.
Auckland, July 22<
“The indebtedness to. America 5 is one of the greatest stumbling blocks to the world of peace,” said the Hon,. H. Atmore in a speech at the annual dinner of the Commercial Travellers’ andWarehousemen’s Club.
“Many nations of Europe are rankling under the feeling that America has not played fair. America loaned ten billion dollars to the Allies, and was asking for it back with ten million dollars interest added from the nations which boro the heaviest burden of the war.
“Even American writers have recently questioned the wisdom of their own country’s attitude towards her debtors, and the - moral principles involved in demanding payment in full. “For fifteen months after America entered the war there was not a single American soldier in Europe. During that time she continued to sell her goods to the combatants, and so piled up her profits at their expense.”
