Belgium and United States debt settlement details
The Belgian debt arrangement with the United States was signed after talks at the Belgian embassy. It distinguishes war debt from postwar reconstruction loans, with war debt forgiven interest for a decade and new terms over 60 years. The total, around 417.78 million, reflects a moral obligation beyond pure legal debt. President Coolidge discussed tax cuts and budget surpluses with Mellon Smoot and Tilson, aiming for substantial income tax reductions before March 15.
