SAYS ENGLAND i WILL PAY DEBT British Finance Authority Tells Bankers England Will Pay All United I'rews S.air Uorr.-npondent New York, Oct. 4. —(Special to Gaily Democrat) —Great Britain is ietermined to pay iu full her war debt if more than $4,000,000,1100 to the United States. Reginald McKenna former British chancellor of the ex•hequer and a leading authority on nternational finance, declared in a ;peech here today to the convention if the American Bankers’ association. Other European nations, however, vill lie able to pay only a small porion of their debts, which witli the Iritish obligation now total approx! nately $11,000,000,000, the Britisher' aid. For these countries he urged a I leflnite postponement of any debt paynents. Germany, he predicted, never will •e aide to pay the huge reparations issessments of $12,000,000,000. Atenipts of any allied powers to force lerinany to pay this amount would vreck international trade, he argued. “I cun unhesitatingly assert Eng mil’s determination to honor her ond in full," McKenna said. “I beieve I am justified in asking you to reat England's debt to the United hates as certain to be provided for.": McKenna's statements, although he aid he was speaking personally, are egarded as significant in view of the act that negotiations to refund the iritish debt to the United States are o be started soon with t>ie American !ebt refunding commission. “The inevitable conclusion,” he as-1 erted, “is that these international 'ebts are for too great for the capaity of any of the debtor countries ex ' ■ept England. She alone in her acumulated foreign investments has dequate resources with which to disharge her liability to the United States. Os the others, France has the ' reatest resources, but they are I be-| .ieve, quite insufficient to meet her bligations. "The whole subject requires a raional consideration by the creditor: vho must keep steadily in view the mmediate effect of the payment of liese debts on the general trade of' ho world.” McKenna's statement in this regard vas in general accord with that of \merican speakers before the conention and with the views of many of ho delegates. Fred E. Kolter, manager of the American Security company, went to Indianapolis today on business.
