A great many people in America think that all we have to do is send money over there. “The debt can only be funded on such terms as can be got through congress and the senate and that ts the root of difficulty with which we are now faced.” Mr. Baldwin said that unless an arrangement were arrived at by which an agreement between the American debt funding commission fand the British government 1 ap- proved and ratified by congress be- fore March 4, the matter would be Meferred until the end of the year. There was no chance, he said, of new proposals being put forward previous to March 4, because the funding com- mission {n America had put forward the only proposals which were thought to have a chance of acce} ance by congress. “They have gone to the limit in what they are likely to propose,” he o ‘said. “If no agreement is come to now the whole thing falls to the ground,” Mr. Baldwin added. 2s Loan: <a NEW YORK.—The Leviathan, largest ship flying the American flag, has been allocated to the United ‘States lines and will be put on the New York-Southampton run next June, BUSINESS IN CASPER GOES ON WITH RUSH Yes, business in Casper is good!
