In the bill there are some suggested methods for study and examination such as the possibility of conveying to the United States territory in this hemisphere now owned by the debtor nations. There is also suggested the idea of applying the expenditures made by tourists to debtor countries for steamship fares. meals. lodging. and incidental expenses upon the war debts by means of the issuance of certificates by the debtor countries which shall be turned over to the Treasury of the United States and then redeemed in the currency of the debtor nation. Also suggested is the possibility of applying immigrant remittances to the war debts and have the debtor nations assume these remittances to the persons for whom intended. These methods are meant to establish credits so that the means of payment is available to the debtor nations. This wardebt problem is essentially one for the Congress to solve.
