U.S. SENDS TERSE NOTE TO BRITISH Secretary Kellogg Informs British That U. S. Does Not Intend To Modify War Debt Settlements Washington, May 5 - (UP) —The i United States has no Intention now, j or any other time, of cancelling or modifying its war debt settlement, it i was made plain today. 1 Winston Churchill's criticism of a letter Secretary of the Treasury Mellon recently sent to President John G. Hlhben of Princeton University outlining the administration’s debt, policies failed of its purpose if that ' purpose was to reopen debt negotiations with America. Secretary of State Kellogg sent the following terse note to the British foreign office: "The government regards the correspondence between Mr. Mellon ami Mr. Hibben as a purely domestic discussion. and does not desire to engage in any formal diplomatic exchanges upon the subject." And Secretary Mellon, whose figures were under fire, declared in a statement that all debt agreements were fair and not so harsh as to become a serious economic burden on naions that had borrowed from America. o Sixty-live Miners Remain In 111-fated Coal Mine Farimont, W.
