“SNOWDEN WAS RIGHT”
SUPPORT FROM FORMER CHANCELLOR VIEWS OF MR. CHURCHILL (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) VANCOUVER, Tuesday. Mr. Winstone Churchill, former British Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the course of a speech at Vancouver, referred to The Hague reparation agreement. He said the original Young plan impaired the principle of the Balfour Note. The time had arrived for a restatement of Britain’s position in regard to war debts in terms more favourable to Britain. He thought a very satisfactory conclusion had been reached by The Hague Conference. No British Government could have accepted the Young plan as it stood. Mr. Churchill said he believed Mr. Snowden was right in his stubborn resistance and in his final concession. Referring to the repudiated Russian debt which France and Italy should be asked to agree was outside the “self-denying limitations” of the Bal four Note, Mr. Churchill said he regarded that debt as not Impossible of collection if Russia once more donned the garb of civilisation within the next 10 or 15 years.
