U. S. POSITION ON
BELGIUM DEBTS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. Belgium
will ask her creditors to take into con.
slderntlon exceptional wnr and post
war considerations, ibiron De Carter,
the Belgian ambassador declared re
cently in presenting the Belgian debt
commissioners to the American com
missisnn,
Replying, Secretary Mellon, ehftlr
mnn of the American commission, said
the United States would not usk Bel
glum to do the Impossible, hut that
the funding of the (480,000,000 war
debt would be a recognition of the
integrity of international obligations
and "the settlement of a question
which might dlHturh the long friend
ship of our nations," ' ''
The exchanges took placo nt tho
first meeting of the two commissions
which will attempt to work out-, n
formula for settlement of the debt. t
Secretary Mellon said Belgians
could rest assured that their position
"will have the most sympathetic and
friendly consideration by our com
mission." "Tho funding of your debt to uh
within your enpneity to pay," be add
ed, "means fur moro than tho mere
payment by you nnd the receipt by us
of n certain number of tlnllars each
year. H Is n recognition of the Integ
rity of international obligations und
the settlement of a question which
might disturb the long friendship of
our two nations. To accomplish these
results Is worthy of our every effort.
"Tho question before us is of nar
row compass. There nre but two par
ties to our negotiations. Politics, local
or international nre not involved. We
sit hero reasonable men nround a ta
ble. Under such conditions we soon
will learn each other's viewpoint; de
termine the true facts governing the
situation und should reach an agree
ment fair ti your country nnd ours."
