War Debt Views On Gold, Goods And Allied Pay
At luncheon aboard the Strathard the Bank of England director Alexander Shaw argued Britain’s wartime debts were lopsided. He noted America forgave most of Britain’s Allies, while the United States did not charge for raw materials paid in goods rather than cash. He urged payment in goods over fifty years, warned against demanding full cash sums, and praised Australia for economic resilience and leadership in postwar recovery.
