AMERICA AND THE ALLIED DEBT Sir Leo Chizzey Money, former parliamentary private secretary to Lloyd George, has written an article for the London Daily News in which he declares that the United States is playing the role of Shylock in demanding repayment of the loans made to European governments during the World War. He argues that war obligations ought to be pooled among the victorious powers involved, and points to the larger sacrifices made by Great Britain and others of the allies as compared with the United States as a consideration which should weigh heavily in the settlement of this question. This writer, along with others who contend in favor of the repudiation of definite international obligations, overlooks some important phases of this question. The United States had no part in the creation of the European conditions which brought about the war. It was the result of European rivalries and conflicts in which the country had no interest. Few of the European government involved in the war had any opportunity of choice as to participation. Their vital interests were involved from the beginning. They saw advantage in the defeat of the central powers, and disaster in Teutonic victory. The United States was brought into the war by no such considerations. The national honor was involved by attacks upon the American shipping, but the nation's vital interests were not. The material interests of the nation would have been served by continuing in the profitable role of neutral. The lives and properties of Americans except on the high seas were not under control. LOOKING FORWARD TO A GOOD NEW YEAR The year 1925 is beginning under auspices which are very favorable so far as the United States is concerned. A year ago we were on the verge of a bitter political campaign and the country was torn by charges of corruption in public office, inspired by campaign exigencies, which had a deleterious effect on the nation's business. Now that the campaign is over, the scandal mongers have been repudiated and the business interests o f the nation are adjusting themselves to the reassuring fact that there are ahead for them two years of constructive legislation and sound economic policy. Business in all lines is making a gradual recovery from the depression of last spring, when the political bombardment was at its worst. From every hand comes the report that conditions are getting back to normal and that usual production is being resumed in all branches of industry. The situation in the agricultural portions of the country has shown decided improvement during the past year. Prices advanced materially during the summer and fall. In the western wheat country thousands of farmers were put in position to pay up arrears and enjoy a surplus in the bank. Only a partial failure of the corn crop in certain states prevented an almost complete recovery. That the farmers of the country see better times ahead is indicated by the fact that the wheat acreage for 1925 is showing increase instead of decrease as was the case a year ago. It is regarded as fairly certain that the price of corn will stay up during the next season, and a bumper crop of this important commodity will make the republican party it is true that old prejudices survive up to this point and vote the democratic relly hoping that win. The time is at hand when they be entirely wiped out. Yet it is significant of the demoralizers, is being in independent sealand that the leadion are coming to terms of the short-ciminJeffersonian party. Republican states are becoming frequent than their and it behooves leaders to pay some important common at all likely that they will mend its way will meet with them the democratic bishouth. Many of these leaders would be in the accomplishmenlthe backport in the northstates to win tha tion of country dominate. For this cause of the great south, the th sectional lines aland and the people o will be in a fair ing nationally im far as their gems are concernn The United States was brought into the war by no such considerations. The national honor was involved by attacks upon the American shipping, but the nation's vital interests were not. The material interests of the nation would have been served by continuing in the profitable role of neutral. The lives and properties of Americans except on the high seas were not endangered. England could not have honorably stayed out of the war, in view of her treaty obligations and from the moment she entered the war the very life of the nation was at stake. Before America's entry in to the war the output of her manufactories and farms and the assistance of American financiers was a large factor in the effort of the allies. Without that help the cause of the allies would probably have been lost, certainly without this assistance plus the later military effort in the war it would have been. At the end of the war the United States asked nothing except a treaty which would give some assurance of permanent peace and stability in Europe. Great Britain and other European powers asked and received large territorial acquisitions and indemnities. Germany, the most formidable trade competitor of England before the war, had been rendered helpless. It is true that the war attained such proportions that the effort involved made his consumption of little value; still that objective on the part of both France and England was attained. Americans have been taught to believe that the financial obligations of a nation are as sacred as those of an individual. The money loaned to the allies was borrowed from the American people on the supposition that the debt would be paid without question. The war has brought heavy burdens of taxation to the people of the United States. Europe is staggering under the same burden, but the thought of this does not make the load of the American taxpayer any lighter. The United States has been reducing expenditures rapidly, and has adopted a pay as you go policy. Some European powers have resorted to additional bond issues, inflation, and large military and naval expenditures instead. Since the war American financiers have loaned and invested billions in Europe. In relief projects the Ameri- THINKING NATIONALLY IN THE SOLID SOUTH Editorial comment in southern newspapers, and letters appearing in many of these papers since the election, all go to show that the election of President Coolidge and the consequent defeat of the democratic national ticket was not taken to heart in that section of the country which has for so many years been solidly Democratic. A great many southern democrats are expressing the opinion that, to succeed in the future, their party must pursue a vitally different course, and become a party of sound business principles and constructive effort. There is reason for this steady change of sentiment in Dixie. For the Solid South is no longer a onecommodity section of the United States. Its industries are many and varied, and increasingly prosperous. States. Europe is struggling under the same burden, but the thought of this does not make the load of the American taxpayer any lighter. The United States has been reducing expenditures rapidly, and has adopted a pay as you go policy. Some European powers have resorted to additional bond issues, inflation, and large military and naval expenditures instead. Since the war American financiers have loaned and invested billions in Europe. In relief projects the American people have spent hundreds of millions more. It is a queer philosophy which now leads a European commentator to refer to the one nation which went into the war seeking nothing and came out of it getting nothing, as a "Shylock" because it expects the payment of money loaned to the allies during the war to enable them to conduct their military and naval operations, while we, too, were spending more money to conduct the war than we have expended for governmental operations in all our century and a quarter of history preceding the World war. The truth is that the United States has been as far from a Shylock in the matter as a government conceivably could be. Its agents haee no right to either forgive or repudiate obligations deliberately contracted, but they have been given the right to settle those obligations on the most generous terms as to time of payment and rate of interest. No "dunning" program has been dopted. On the assumption that the great governments of Europe are as honest as an individual is expected to be, they have been expected to bring up the subject and procure a settlement. This Great Britain has done, to her credit. It is unfortunate that so honorable an action should be marred by protests against it. From men who believe in "dead-beatism." Democratic. A great many southern democrats are expressing the opinion that, to succeed in the future, their party must pursue a vitally different course, and become a party of sound business principles and constructive effort. There is reason for this steady change of sentiment in Dixie. For the Solid South is no longer a onecommodity section of the United States. Its industries are many and varied, and increasingly prosperous. In the old days when the raising of cotton by cheap labor was the only industry in the South, the planters, who were the leading politicians were very strongly in favor of free trade. Their cotton crop did not need protection and they thought that they could save money by buying their finished products in the cheapest markets which then, as now, is Europe. Their principles were purely sectional, not national, and it seems not to have occurred to them that the South might not permanently prosper if the industries in other parts of the country were paralyzed by cheap European competition. But now all this has changed. Manufacturing industries have sprung up all over the south and are constantly increasing. Many New England manufacturers have taken their entire plants to the Southern Atlantic states. Iron and steel now figure in the prosperity of the south too, and the southern farmers, driven by the boll weevil to the task of diversifying their crops, have found that many of the things they raise demand protection from the cheaper agriculture of the Old World. For this reason, and because of the increasing business stability and prosperity of the south, the leading men of that section are coming more and more to agree with the doctrines of the republican party in spirit at least. It is true that old traditions and old prejudices survive, and most of them up to this point have continued to vote the democratic ticket, while secretly hoping that the republicans will win. The time is evidently not quite at hand when the old sectionalism can be entirely wiped out. Yet it is significant that the criticism of the democratic policies and blunders, is being more and more open in independent southern newspapers, and that the leading men of that section are coming to speak more openly of the short-cimings of the so-called Jeffersonian party. Republican victories in the border states are becoming more consistently frequent than they were a decade ago and it behooves the republican party leaders to pay some attention to these important commonwealths. It is not at all likely that the democratic party will mend its ways in a manner that will meet with the entire approval of the democratic business men of the south. Many of the bigger democratic leaders would like to do this, but in the accomplishment they would alienate the backbone of their support in the northern and eastern states to win the approval of a section of country which they already dominate. For this reason and because of the growing prosperity of the south, the time is coming when sectional lines are to be wiped out and the people of the United States will be in a fair way toward thinking nationally instead of locally, so far as their general political problems are concerned.
