The Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Mr Pethick-Lawrence, in a written reply in Parliament, states that the total sums paids to the United States Government on account of the British war debt to date, including the payment made last Monday, exceed the total sums received by Britain in respect of Allied war debts and Reparation, by the amount of £140,000,000. The accumuated deficiency is close on £200.000,000, if interest on past payments and receipts is taken into account.
