An -aenieemnf ;.v See v Houston tr.AI ; no further loans would be made to I t i rt 'jPiny tx--i lie ! 1 eve. 1 U'(1nPlAY night to indicate the adoption by : flu: treasurv .f the policy favored I by tlie lebtor nations u? deferring int" rest payments for the next three yea rs or more, i I'nder authority granted by con-cre.-s to evteml J 1 0.0f0.ÖG0.oil0 5. ' rre-tlits the allied nations, the treasury has made loans amounting to f 3.-159.S.H.649. S'ec'y Houston said that the remainder ef the credits authorized would n be granted as it was thought suJhcient advances had been made. IMscusslng the question, treasury officials said that in view of the exchange situation and the un-ettld economic condition of the European nations during the reconstruction period, it would seem advisable to permit themi to postpone interest payments for at least three years. Then, it is believed, they would he in u position to meet their obligations. With the interest on the loans computed at tive percent, the total eine the United States yearly is about $470,0O0.e0O. an enormous Hum for the war-weakened countries to pay nt present. If interest is funded into long term eihUgation-. the interest on the payments thus deferred will amount to onlv J2:'. -000.000 yearl. which can be pajj and the credit of the debater nations maintained. Treasury orhcirils are working on recommr ndations to submit to congress rs to the course to be fedowed if deferred payments are permitted. It has been suggested that the interest on the interest be charge. 1 off but the proposal has met with strong opposition in congress. America's chief debtor are e;re.it Pritain with H.JTT.OOO.mOO; I Vine with 1.1.047.57 1.777 and Italv with $l.r,:i..:rv.vse,. lu-Jgium's de;,t .14 3. 4 4.. 00 11 and Ilu-sia is hirged with ?lT.720.7-n.
