“AMERICA NEEDS THE' MONEY.”
LONDON, December 5
“The United States needs the money more than Britain, because her deficit and unemployment figures are greater,” says Mr William Randolph Hearst, tlie American publicist, in a cable message to “Reynold's Newpaper,” a Sunday publication. Air Hearst owns a chain of newspapers in tlie United States with a n anti-Britisli tendency. “1 am as friendly to Britain as a man can be, but I cannot conceive a great commercial nation evading payment of an honest debt-.” says Mr Hearst.
“Such a course would jeopardise Anglo-American friendship. Britain should not associate herself with an habitual repudiationist like France. She is not a mendicant nation like Italy.
“If Britain presents her case alone it will be considered, because she did not whine or haggle when tlie debt settlement was made. She is tlie o-ne nation with the right to ask, not for cancellation, but for modification of terms, which were so much harsher.
