Britain and America plan to issue indemnity bonds to powers
Washington reports a British American plan to settle the indemnity with Chinese bonds issued to each power for the amount due. Bonds would bear 4 percent interest with a half percent amortization clause and designated revenues would be earmarked to liquidate them. A foreign committee would oversee revenue use and bond default would fall to the committee rather than the powers. The proposal originally foresees thirty year bonds and installments, with possible ministerial modifications.
