Besides ‘the chancellor the party included Mrs. Baldwin and daughter; Montagn C. Norman, gov- ernor of the Bank of England; Rowe Dutton, financial adviser and P. J Grigg, of the treasury.

If it is successful I hope. America will be kind to a much more 'mportant mission which Mr. Bonar Law is shortly to undertake. The Evening Standard says this latter refers to a reparations settle ment. The chancetior a@ded that it is of supreme Importance to Europe that America should have a say as regards Europe's financial problem. Mr. Baldwin’s statement follows: delicate one. We-are in the -position of debtors. We must tread jarily. ‘evertheless, I hope to. persuade the United States government to‘come to a permanent settlement on terms of our debt to America of something like $56,000,000 pounds. sterling. “At present, a law of congress pro- vides that this must be repaid within 25 years at four and one half per cent interest. This would mean an annual payment by Great Britain of between 60,000,000 and 70,000,000 pounds ster- ling, a very heavy itern in our budget. ‘We hope to fund thigficbt and get the burden of interest easud, but of course the last word is with America. “If we can effect a settlement on such a matter, we shall set an ex- ample to Europe, an scaeple.
