Wilson Agreement to Aid Belgium on Its Debt
President Wilson vouched for United States action to match Belgium’s pre-armistice loans with German bonds to satisfy its debts. The plan, not in the Versailles treaty, would have Germany issue bonds to the reparations commission equal to Belgium’s borrowings from the U.S., Britain, and France. Belgium’s total pre-armistice debt to the U.S. was about 171 million dollars, with Britain and France around 164.7 million combined. The administration notes that England and France would share in German bonds, and the matter awaits appropriate legislative action as Wilson nears the end of his term.
