Cancellation of debt improbable in inter allied loans
President Wilson told Premier Lloyd George last October that it was highly improbable Congress or public opinion would permit cancellation of any part of the British debt to the United States to induce Britain to remit debts to allied governments. Senator Lodge published the excerpt from the letter in the Congressional Record, noting it was submitted to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by David S. Houston. Senator Borah criticized Britain for paying 32.688 million to the United States on shipping claims while owing several billions. He called Britain’s eagerness to collect US debt a remarkable exhibition.
