Last Details of
War Debt Funding
Plan Is Completed
Final Draft of Proposal Ex
pected to Be Presented
1 o Congress Early
Next eek.
Washington, Feb. —<By A P.i—
The American debt funding conunis
sion, in conversations with Sir Auck
land Geddes, the British ambassador,
completed details of the program for
the funding of Great Britain's war
time debt to tlio 1'nited States. The
final draft of the plan is expected to
lie sent to the White House Saturday
with recommendations that it be
given executive approval and be sent
10 congress for legislative action in
confirmation of the commission's
negotiations.
While tlio commission and the
British ambassador were working out
the final details of dates of payment,
denominations of the British bonds to
be Issued and other minor phases of
the question, statements emanated
from the White House to the effect
that the president believed the set
'lenient so worth while that it ought
to be accepted at tills session of con
gress. High administration spokes
men represented the president, as be
lieving that the debt funding act
should be adjusted to encompass the
erms of the British settlement and
indications were given that such
would be bis request to congress.
Approval Taken tor Granted.
It was said in authoritative quar
iers to he the president's Intention to
send the commission's recommenda
tions to congress early next week.
His approval of the settlement In all
nf its details is taken for granted.
The question of the soldier bonus
amendment to any legislation tran
scribing the settlement into law, fore
hadowed Thursday in yongress.
i lopped tii> again today. The settle
ment was attacked and defended in
ttie* house. Representative Garner of
Texas, ranking democrat on the ways
Hid means committee, assailed the
funding commission's work as having
been a settlement outside the law'
which created the commission and
made possible the extension of time
iff-Urn foreign countries in which to
pay their war-time obligations to the
Cnited States.
Representative Mondell, the repub
lican leader, countered with a state
ment that members of the funding
commission had conferred With repub
lican leaders In congress regarding
what terms would he acceptable to
congress ai d added that whtlo con
gress was not bound by the commis
°ion s action, he believed congress
would accept tt by a large majority.
Harding Opposes Bonus Thin.
At the White House it war said the
p-esident regarded the injection of the
: soldier bonus issue into the settlement
as unseemly at this time, and. so far
as the executive branch of the gov
ernment was concerned, the soldier
bonus proposal should he counted out.
From this statement, leaders in the
administration predicted that nil of
the administration support that ever
has been mustered behind the presi
dent would back up his stand if the
bonus amendment is put forward.
The president was declared to be
opposed, not only to the soldier bonus
amendment, but to the attaching of
any other rider to ratification of the
debt settlement.
Statements in congress and else
where that the rates of interest which
the British government will pay under
the agreement are lower than those
being paid by this government on its
own securities were denied again at
the treasury, where it was said that
the average of rates paid by the
United States was almost exactly off
set by the British rates. The American
average, however, it was said, proves
higher on Its face, but attention was
calied to the fact that this govern
ment is deriving taxes on millions of
dollars on incomes into which its in
terest payments have gone. The net
results, therefore, officials declared to
he little if any higher than that to
be collected from Great Britain under
the settlement terms.
