Churchill Warns on Debt Funding and Reparations
In a House of Commons address Lord Churchill asserts Britain will pay the United States nearly $500,000 daily for three generations under debt funding. He accuses France of delaying reparations while the U S receives Germany’s payments. He predicts a future where France and Italy fund debts to Britain and the United States, shifting reparations across the Atlantic. Philip Sowden criticizes France’s postwar finances, citing vast war damage estimates. The Gooding short-haul bill fails in the Senate 33 to 46, with a mix of party votes. Hoover proposes lower speed limits to reduce accidents, meeting opposition from some delegates.
