Milburn Co., Léd, rot, | Aescons) Paying The War Babes Great Britain's war debt to the United States was the subject of a recent | article in this column in which it was pointed out that that debt was con- | tracted by Britain, not to finance its own war expenditures, but in order to} enable it to bolster up its Allies who had reached the end of their financial resources. The fact was further noted that the United States did not lend gold to Britain for this purpose, but extended credit for the purchase of | Supplies of all kinds in the United States, thus providing employment at high | wages for United States workmen and producers, and very large profits to the people of that country out of the high war prices then prevailing. Atten- | tion was also drawn to the fact that, following the war, the United States | insisted upon repayment of these credits in gold; that it refused to accept goods and services from Britain; and that, to prevent the possibility of re- payment being made in goods it raised its tariff to prohibitive heights, thus Jargely shutting out British goods. most The further fact was noted that Great Britain had made a gallant attempt to meet all its obligations to the United States in gold, even under these almost impossible conditions, impoverishing its own people in so doing, and finally being forced to abandon the gold standard, while at the same time in order to prevent the complete collapse of Europe it agreed to prac- | tically wipe out all payments due to Britain by Germany, In conclusion, we submitted that the time had arrived when Great Britain, unable any longer to make payment in gold, should say to the United States that, while it was in no sense repudiating its debt, because of the impossibility of continuing | gold payments it would refrain from making any further payments except in| the same manner as the United States provided the credit, namely, in goods _ and services, This particular article came to the notice of a paper published in Montana, which reproduced it in full, saying it was more moderate in its | presentation of the British viewpoint than most papers, and that, in some} ways the viewpoint expressed was reasonable enough but in other ways | unintelligible to the US. citizen. Then, in a friendly way, this U.S. paper refers to the fact that “England seems able to devote some 460 millions - annually to military purposes yet moans pitifully at the thought of paying | one-fifth of that sum on her debt over here.” It then refers to France's | expenditure of 541 millions on her war machine, Italy's 331 millions for a like purpose, etc. : F One can, of course, appreciate this point of view on the part of U.S. People, but the fact must not be lost sight of that Great Britain has reduced her military expenditures to a greater extent than any other country; that, with a world-encircling Empire she is spending less, not only proportionately | but actually, than the United States, much less than France, and that she is the fi di of in the world today. Be it noted, too, that the one-fifth payment mentioned by this U.S. paper has to be made every six months, therefore it is actually equal to two-fifths of Britain's military expenditures. Furthermore, the military expenditures do not have to be met in payments of gold, but in pay to thousands of soldiers and sailors, clothing, food and equipment for them, thus maintaining thousands of families that would otherwise have to be supported by relief expenditures. | But Uncle Sam refuses supplies of any and all kinds and d | | Looking For New Job | Where Mother-In-Law Rules Lord Mayor’s Head Chef Has Enjoyed No One Year Of Hard Work | F.

True, but in the scaling down what | happened? We have before us a statement of the amounts owing by all) nations to the United States prior to the payments of December 16, It shows | that Great Britain owes $4,600,000,000 principal and $6,505,965,000 interest. | and one-half times greater than the principal sum. But in the case of France | the U.S. asks only $2,822,674,000 interest on a principal debt of 4,025,000,000, | while in the case of Italy with a principal debt of $2,042,000,000, the US: | asks only $365,677,000 in interest. ‘ Or lumping all the debts together, the principal amount is $11,522,354,- 000, of which Britain and France each owe approximately one-third, while the interest amounts to $10,621,185,000, of which amount Britain is called upon to pay $6,505,965,000, or over two-thirds of the total, Where, we think it may well be asked, is the fairness in such a form of scaling down or of settlement? Yet Britain is the one nation that is making the most determined effort to pay. It has not defaulted one payment, or one dollar. It has never even hinted at repudiation. All that was suggested in this column was that the United States give it a chance to pay in goods and services instead of gold, | Seeing that it is now utterly impossible to continue to pay in gold, always remembering that the United States did not lend gold to Britain but granted credits for goods and supplies of all kinds purchased in the United States, which business added enormously to the wealth of the people of the republic, and a goodly percentage of which was actually paid to the United States Government in the form of income and other taxes imposed on the wealth thus created by Britain's purchases. If the United States objects to any revision of the debt refunding agree- ment made with Britain; if it still persists in a tariff policy which makes it impossible for Britain to pay in goods and servicés, and insists on gold nothing but gold, then, we repeat, Britain will be fully justified in withhold- ing gold payments,—which it is impossible for her to continue to make,— and let the debt stand until such time as the United States changes its policy. If one man owed another for goods he had obtained from him and found, owing to circumstances entirely beyond his control, that he could not pay in cash but offered to pay in goods or other property he possessed, then every person would say the creditor should accept what his debtor was able and willing to pay; that it was the sensible, the business-like thing to do, Starts Air Ferry Service A Regular House Dog | By Discovery Of Where Sprats Spend | ruary.

He says that while driv- ing his automobile along the Bose Road, near Cloverdale, ten miles east of New Westminster, he had to stop to let a salmon pass. “I was driving along the flooded thing moving in the water on the road ahead of me,” related Pike. “I halted the car and waded along through the water to see what it was. Sure enough, it was a big salmon making slow progress along the road. When it saw me, of course, it spurted away, so I couldn't bring it home for supper—and evidence.” Thousands of acres in the Fraser and Serpentine Valley were under water as a result of recent floods. Mild weather melted the early snow in the hills and heavy rainfall in other sections contributed to the flow of water to the low land. Farmers in the Skagit River country, where roads in some places were two feet under water, are said to have made some good catches of fish in their hayfields.
