HC Deb 28 July 1919 vol 118 cc1795-6
54. Mr. RAPER

asked the Prime Minister whether it is a fact that the United States of America are advancing money to Germany at certain rates of interest to enable the Germans to pay for sup plies of food and other materials which are being shipped to Germany from the United States?

Mr. BALDWIN (Joint Financial Secretary to the Treasury)

So far as I am aware, the United States Government has made no advances to Germany. I have no knowledge as to negotiations which may have taken place for private credits in the United States to finance exports to Germany.
