DEBT PAYMENT
IS
BY LAFOLLETTE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. Tho final
day of debate on the British debt
opened with an attack upon the bill by
Senntor LnFolletto, republican, Wis
consin, who urged that the terms of
the present law he maintained. Ob
jecting to the three and three, und n
half interest payments and 65 years
maturity, he said no agreements
should bo accepted lower than those
chargeable on Liberty bonds.
He charged both Great Britain and
France with imperialism and politics
and declared Great Britain's colonies
now are being charged five percent
on loans from the London govern
ment. "The Benator from Utah (Mr. Smoot
manager of the funding bill) has as
sured us that it 1b good business to
fund this loan for 62 years on a
per cent basis," said Senator LnFol-
lette. "If this is good business why
wouldn't It be better business to loan
to American farmers for 3 per cent
for 62 years?
. "As I have listcned-io the defense
of this proimsed settlement, I have
sometimes thought tho chancellor of
the British exchequer was speaking,
so eloquently and with so much feel
ing does he (Senator Smoot) present
the case for the British empire.
"He has painted a sad picture of
the heavy taxes which the British
people have to pay, but he has not
told us what part of those taxes go to
maintenance of the greatest navy in
the world; what part represents the
cost of keeping in subjection the peo
ples of India nnd Egypt;- what part
will be spent for the struggle of the
Irish people for genuine indepen
dence; what part went to Greece for
pulling the chestnuts In the Near East
out of tho fire; what pnrt is now be
ing spent in the struggle of British
capitalists and tho British government
to monopolize the oil of the world."
Propaganda of British and Amer
ican financiers has been active be
hind the bill, Senator LaFollette said,
attacking especially the provision al
lowing Great Britain to use the Lib
erty bonds in payment. He said this
would tend to depreciate American
securities,
