Customs Receipts Tangle in Honduran Debt Refunding
Reports from New York say Honduran negotiations for refunding external debt hinge on an American backed plan to collect customs receipts under a treaty with the United States. The scheme may involve American customs officers and has sparked talk of an American protectorate, though no confirmation. The 1867 to 1870 loans total about 5.4 million pounds with unpaid interest estimated at 17.1 million, bringing total indebtedness to roughly 22.5 million pounds. The issue has drawn Washington interest to stabilize Honduran finances amid long running discussions begun in 1909 by British and other bondholders.
