COMPARED WITH ROBBER
SNOWDEN’S HARSH WORDS TO DEBTOR NATIONS DIFFICULTIES OF WAR DEBTS THE HAGUE, Monday. At The Hague Conference today a compromise was reached by which Italy is to receive 10,000,000 gold marks from Czechoslovakia in respect of liberation loans, instead of 11,000,000. The agreement was only reached after a difficulty had been overcome. Italy will now be able to pay the 9,000,000 marks guaranteed to Britain at the August conference, so Italy will sign the Young plan without reservations. It is understood that the compromise was due to strongly-worded intervention by Mr. Philip Snowden, British Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is rumoured that he compared the Little Entente with a man who robbed another man of his watches and then offered to lend his victim the money to buy one back. Dr. Benes, the Czechoslovakian Foreign Minister, was the object of Mr. Snowden’s special attack.
