Feb. 17.—A colil shiver ran rdo'vn tho bark of Kngland whin it wan announced officially that the j British government had definitely agreed to pay over 30.000,000 pounds sterling a year for 60 years to th< Fniteil States in respect of debts in-’ curred by us on behalf of our allies without seeking a. contribution from nur debtors to protect the taxpayer:-; of this country. It is not that anyone dreamt the evil dream of repudiation. That was never woven into the texture even of the worst nightmare out of the many that have disturbed our repose since the greatest nightmare of all left the world a quivering, nervous wreck. Nor did we expect remission of our flebts. Whenever we were tempted to exaggerate the bounds of human charity paragraphs appeared that reminded us of tiie attitude of the "middle west." America was discov ered by Kurope centuries ago. but the . '’middle west" as a political entity is to untutored Euorpeans a discovery >f the war. We were then told by returning ex plorers it was the seat of the Amer ican conscience—inexorable, intract ible. hut irresistible when engaged in Any enterprise. How potent this con science was as a world force tho war demonstrated. Front the heights it hurled an avalanche of force against Bermany that overwhelmed the last kope of resistance.

Our hope was therefore not In re mission. There were, however, many other possibilities. AA'e were not the only debtors of the American govern ment. Other allies had borrowed, not merely Indirectly through us, but directly from America. AA'e had every confidence that the United States gov ernment would not mete out to Britain severer treatment than it was prepared o accord our allies. AA'e had to contend, it is true, with legends of our Inexhaustible wealth. Apart from our great coal desposits and climate, which leaves those who endure It no alternative but activity, we have no treasure except industry, resources and the inherited skill of our people. AA'e have nothing like the rich plafna and fertilizing and ripening sunshine of France, which maintain 60 per cet of its population. Our sources of wealth—apart front coal—are precari ous, for they depend more largely than any other country on conditions outside our own. AA'e are interna tional providers, merchants and cur riers. A 60-year contract to pay large sums across the seas Is in many re spects a more serious consideration for us than for countries whose riches are inherent in their soil and are therefore more self-contained. I'neniploj ment !*<>hlcm. The demoralized conditions of the world markets has left us with a larger proportion of our industrial population unemployed than anv other Furopean country. I hear tales <>f unemployment in the United States, but reports that reach us here on American unemployment are so contradictory that 1 can build no argument upon them. But as to the gigantic dimensions of our unem ployed problem there can be no doubt, AA'e have 1.400.000 workmen on the unemployed register drawing unem ployment i*iy in one form or another. The annual cost to the nation of feed ing its worklcss population runs to over 100,000.000 pounds sterling— almost the figure of the annuity de manded from Germany as a war In aemmty. Although there are signs of im provement. omens point to a pro longed period of subnormal trade. Continuous depression for 3 ears will mean that Britain will suffer more from the devastation of its trade caused by tho war than France from the devastation of its provinces. Our country, anxious about Its means of livelihood, with 1.000.000 of if a work men walking the streets in vain search for work, has to l>ear tha heaviest burden of taxation in tho world. Why? Because it has not only to pay interest on its own heavy war debts, hut also on 3.^00,000.1)00 pounds which it either advanced to its allies or incurred on their behalf. That is why wo felt confident tho United States would not discriminate 1 against a nation so situated. Onerous Facts. When I talk of debts the allies owe us 1 want to emphasize the fact that these debts are not paper myths or tricks of accountancy. They ar^ onerous facts representing a real burden borne at this hour by the bent ; and panting taxpyare of Britain. If these loans had never been made the weight on his shoulders today* would have been lighter by a shilling and sixpence to two shillings in th»» pound.

The American government borrowed from the American public lo make ad vance* to Great Britain amt has called upon the British taxpayer to redeem hi* pledge. We make no com plaint, for the demand Is mitigation of the strict letter of the bond. But that amount Is in substance part of the debt owing by the allies to Britain. And the British taxpayer naturally feel* it is hard on him to have to bear not only his legitimate burdens, but that he should in addition have to carry the debt* of his less heavily taxed brethren In Continental coun tries. He naturally inferred that If equal pressure had been administered on all debtejrs alike it would hive forced an all round consultation which would have terminated in an all round settlement. Balfour Note. That was the real purport of the Balfour note. The true significance of that gi-ent document lias been entirely misunderstood sometimes carelessly, HnmctiiT.es purposely. HOinetini' - ii -o. lenity. It has suffered the rain*' f.itn ns ilie treaty of Versailles. Opinion is sharply divided as to both between tin-no who rend without reading and those who read without rending. Most men have received I heir impressions of the Balfour note from the denun clatory phrases penned by writer* who received their Ideas about it from men who gave Instructions to con demn It without ever reading It. Men who really understood both the Ver sailles treaty and the Balfour note have been too busy to find time to In form, interpret, and explain But tlie tlmo has come when public attention I should lie once more drawn to the re [markable and far reaching proposal* of the Balfour note. They constitute an offer on the part of Britain to measure claims against her allies by the extent of her obligations to the United States. The British government even of fared to include the claim of the country against Germany In this gen erous concession. What docs that mean in reference to present condi tion*? That if the allies and Germany between them found the 30.000,000 pounds a year which Britain has un dertaken to pay America nhe would forego her claim to the 3,300,000,000 pounds due to her under contract and treaty, it was a great offer nnd if accepted would hive produced re sults benefident beyond computation. Britain, which would hav* been th* heaviest direct loser, would have profited Indirectly through the world recovery that would have ensued. Project Shelved. How was It received? Home crltl | c Izc-d It. because it asked tod little -scenic- bee ause it demanded too much. Many criticized Icerause lliev weir e|e termlned to approve nothing thn/t emanated from such a government but most of its censors condemned 1 it because they never look the trnu Ida to understand II and the shrillest among the street crlcee hnppcnr<| to denounce It Th* government that ' propounded it soon after |,fi the coat of authority and the administration that succeeded put forward a new •cliciuo Which attracted oven less i eptare e .So t'..% grc.it project, whi< h should have settled for ever the quae *n which altove all others ■ * vexing peace and unsettling minds in Europe, was pigeon-holed whom it was not put in the wastebaaket. But surely this is not the end of all endeavors to ru&rh a settlement of the question of interallied debts Wh cannot r«-st satisfied with an ar rangement w bich effective lv binds us to pay without prospect of the slightest < ontribution from our debtors, What America cannot indulge in wo pan r fit afford. The gold of Europe now , lies in its coffers. Who ere vr pltinged in tlie mire of debt up to 'our nostrils to giw» ourselves airs of generosity superior to tl e only golden land left in this war stripped onrt h? If there's to be a general jubilee l in which all alike participate In or* dcr to give the world a new start, then I feel sure Britain v s’l play her part bra>eljr and nobly. But a Jerryman dered* 1 Jubilee which frees France. Italy and Belgium from all their d* bts whilst leaving Britain sweating to pay off debt* Incurred for her allies on the strength of their bid—that we cannot tolerate. Outlook Not Hopeful. I trust th© British government wfH insist on an arrangement with our allies which, even If it is not a replica of our contract with the American government, will a! any rat© ensure us a contribution that will su\.'guard us against loss under that contract. It is, T fear hopeless to expect that we should )>« recouped the shilling and 8 pence In th© pound which interest on allied debts costs our taxpayers, but at any rat© wo might b© guaran teed against the * pence in th© pound which th© American instalments in S ol ve.

' Cola. y criticisms on the conduct of the re cent negotl«.tt<®ie In Pane If would have been fhtrt rtiey vow-e Vo man aged that for the first time since ttie w.-jr Britain lias been completely iso lated at a European conference. That Is a misfortune, for it encouraged the French movement to rash action. 1'p to the last conference Britain and Italy had remained in substantial accord, even when France and Bel gium took a different view, and Bel gium had never before quitted any of tlie gatherings In complete disagree ment with Great Britain, So France, always tempted as she was to occupy the Ruhr, hesitated to do so in the face of so formidable an allied re sistance. What is relevant, however, to the subject of this article is the cause of our unwonted isolation on the oc casion of the last conference. The British premier started negotiations by making proposals which promised forgiveness of most of the indebted 1 ess of these countries to Britain, but which Implied immediate arrange ments for beginning repayment of the rest. This suggestion of repay ment instantly consolidated opposition to the whole of the British plan. It became clear that existing govern ments on the continent had no in tention, unless firmly press* -1. of pay ing the smallest percentage of a debt they incurred on faith of a solemn engagement to repay a loan when that, was possible and to pay Interest meanwhile. If we point to the fact, as we did in the Balfour note, that we have undertaken to repay the Fnited States the heavy debt incurred by us on behalf of the allies, they simply shrug their shoulders snd say in ef fect: "That Is your affair. We repay neither Britain nor America and there Is an end of it." The other unpleasant Incident Is the speech delivered by M. Poincare In the French chamber. In the course of which he dealt casually with the sub ject of Interallied Indebtedness. The French prime minister then an nounced caiegorfeally that France had no intention of paying her debts until she has first received her share of reparations from Germany. What dries that rn*nn in effect? That the France represented by M. Poincare has no Intention of ever pacing her debts. When the colossal figure of German reparations is taken into ac count, 30 years is a moderate estimate of the period required for its liquida tion. Is the French debt to lie dor mant, carrying no Interest mean while? If It is then the debt is prae tlcally wiped out, for the present value of a fson.000,000 debt payable 30 years hence is insignificant. The present government of France has therefore declared It d'»es not mean to pay what France owes. Surely the time to dic tate conditions • f your payment of a loan—when you propose to pay, how much you propose to pav. or whether you mean to pay at all—is when you are borrowing and not after you have spent the money. I rges Prompt Action. .And je', In the same speech in which >1. Poincare «■ rv es up hot plati tudes for senatorial palates about the sanctity of national obligations, he dismisses Frances faithful al'y with the cold comfort that Franco is too busy collecting accounts duo to her to attend to debts she owes. I believe lr. my heart there is a France of which he is not the spokesman- a great France which will not treat shabbily a f ful frit 1 who tood b; her the hour of despair and who is now staggering under unparalleled burdens Congress’ Decks Cleared for Farm Bills Debate Capper and Lenroot-Anderson Rural Credits Measures and Filled Milk Bill to Be Considered—White House Wrestling With Appointments’ Problem.
