Britain Faces Slow Payoff on American War Debt
The British government has completed the sixth annual payment toward the US war debt, leaving fifty six payments more. Total cash handed to the U S Treasury exceeds 964 million dollars, with 100 million paid before the agreement, totaling over a billion. Only about 15 percent covered principal, 3.2 percent reduction so far, while annual payments reach 154 million dollars. The burden seems heavy, likened to endowing Harvard Yale or funding seven early states, with heavier payments after 1942.
