WAR DEBTS ARE GONE
There are millions of people in
the world today who still expect
war debts to be paid. There are
probably a few thousand intelli-
gent and thinking people who
realize that war debts, as calclat-
ed at present, will never be paid
this side of the day of judgment.
The postponment of the pay-
ment of reparations this year,
made at the suggestion of Presi-
dent Hoover, to prevent economic
collapse of Germany, demon-
strates that there is no possibility
of Germanj- ever completing the
huge payments scheduled under
the Young plan. Bear in mind

that the Young plan was a reduc-
tion of the amount involved in
the Dawes Plan, and the latter
was a considerable decrease of
the amount expected under the
settlement of the Versailles
Treaty. Even the victors in
war are finding out that modern
warfare will be as costly to them
as to the vanquished which is
probably as well for the cause of
peace.
Even the relief of Germany,
however, given by the postpone-
ment of payments for one year
was only made possible by the
United States government being
willing to foregor payments to it
on the war debts for money loan-
ed its allies during the struggle.
The fiction, long maintained by
the American Government, that
war debts and reparations were
distinct, has been finally aban-
doned in a practice which realizes
their inter-dependence. The na-
tions of the world depending on
the payments of war debts may as
well revise their financial policies
in the light of the impossibility
of their payment.
Bankers of international prom-
inence agree that the postpone-
ment of payment by Germany
this year is but the beginning of
successive postponements and re-
ductions. While the French
will never consent willingly there
are growing indications that both
in America and England senti-
ment is leaning towards the
viewpoint that partial cancella-
tion and liberality in the mat-
ter of war debts is necessary and
imperative for the reconstruction
of normal economic activity
throughout, the world.
There will he man^ Amencans
who will oppose any canceiia-
‘ tion of the debts due us by Euro-
! pean nations for money we loan-
j ed them during the war, largely
i because the American taxpayer
will then have to pay the bonds
which the American Government
owes for the money thus loan-
ed. Yet, it is well to realize that
it is cheaper and more satisfac-
tory to act as the banker in a
great war than to do more of the
fighting. We should take a leaf
from English history, for Britian
acted as the paymaster of the
coalition which finally succeeded
in destroying Napoleon. For the
English, that was cheaper than
allowing the French to rule the
world.

j programs used in various statesj good wishes as we already have
CLAUDE CALLAN SAYS—
The most trying time for wife
to manage is when wages are go-
ing down, and husband must not
become angry if she appears to
weaken on him. Wife can adjust
herself to an increase in hus-
band’s wages in a few hours, but
it takes months for her to adjust
herself to a decrease. When hus-
band’s wages are increased wife
can begin living on a higher scale
just as soon as she can reach the
stores down town. She even can
buy a little more than the increase
justifies and thereby be ready
for the next increase. Her whole
training has been directed tow-
ard buying more and more, so she
doesn’t know how to go about
buying less and less.

up in all-over hemstitched de-
signs, fagoted, lacy weaves and

frock, sports or otherwise.
KEEP ’EM IN SCHOOL
Some sections of the United
States have seen fit to shorten
school terms, believing the small
savings in taxation warrants this.
Individual families may decide to
keep children out of schools be-
cause they think they cannot
dress them well enough or per-
haps to work on the farms to save
labor costs.
Others may think they should
keep their children home because
they cannot carry them to the
schoolhouse in an automobile. So
this is being written to urge ev-
ery parent to keep every child in
school as long as humanly pos-
sible in order to give that child
the advantage of as good an edu-
cation as 'possible.
What they do not get now they
probably will never learn because
the foundation of all knowledge
is usually laid during the school
days. The more complete educa-
tion given in college, absorbed by
reading and observation and
gleaned from the university of
experience comes easier and with
greater understanding if the
foundation has been carefully
laid during early schooling.
We think every sarifice should
be made to give all of the chil-
dren at least a high school educa-
tion because it will be a great
personal satisfaction to them in
after life and should increase
their earning capacity materially.
but, even these cannot perfectly
j be set up to fit every need and
condition.
Even now, under the very ad-
verse agricultural circumstances,
we know farmers who have ad-
justed themselves, who are get-
ting along much better than
most of their fellows. What
suits one may not suit the other
and the sooner farmers as a group
cease to wait on outside help and
begin individually to analyze their
own position and condition and
work out plans for their own sal-
vation, the quicker that indivi-
dual and his family will get real
relief.

Solving Farm Problems.
For lo! these lAany years, a
favorite pastime of many people
of the nation has been in making
suggestions that might solve farm
problems. Farm problems we
have had with us always and
years of depression seem to have
multiplied, or at any rate magni-
fied, these problems so that right
now every, kind of plan imagin-
able has been advanced as a solu-
tion to the problems of the farm-
er.
There were those who believed
the creation of the Federal Farm
Board would set up a machinery
that would quickly solve all of
the ills that seem to beset agricul-
ture. Others contended that farm
problems would never be solved
be legislature and most people
hoped that something ocould be
done.
In our humble opinion, things,
might be done to help the agricul-
tural situation generally/but -the
problem of the individ^l farmer
ust be solved by,Mim himself
just as the proj&iems of the indi-
vidual business or professional
man nqti^t be likewise handled.
Tfclere are general rules that
ban be set forth as a farm pro-
BRITISH TROUBLE
Great Britian, while not in as
serious an economic strain as
Germany, has its fiscal problem
and the government is taking
strenous measures to prevent a
large budget deficit, which it is
estimated might reach $600,000,-
000 unless something radical was
done about it.
The crisis has been serious
enough that the leaders of the
Labor Government have confer-
red with the key men of the op-
position in the Commons, al-
though the Labor leaders assert
they will assume responsibility
for corrective measures. Var-
ious prominent Englishmen have
issued appeals to their country-
men to remain steadfast and pa-
triotically accept whatever priva-
tion the present necessity re-
quires.
“Without doubt all sections
.are willing to make the effort
asked of them,” says Prime
Minister MacDonald, who adds a
friendly word about America:
‘* Our resources and our courage
can well bear
had the assistance of the people
of the United States.”
