On ! tho execution of the agreement, Eng- land wi'.l make a cash payment of $4,120,850.74, leaving a net debt of $4,1)00,000,000. This total will be covered by a bond wsue dntod Decem- ber 15, 1922, and expiring in 1984, with interest payable semi-anmial'Iy at a rate of thrt-o per cent, to Decem- ber 15, 193:', and three and a half per cant, for the rest of the U-rm.
