Washington, July 15.—Hara eco- nomic facts again threaten to knock down the international set-up under which Germany pays reparations to ‘the Allies and the Allies pay off their war debts to the United States. First such facts forced this coun- try to write off large portions of the war debts through lowered in rates. Then they deflated the tic reparations bill which the Alli charged against Germany. Next t forced the scrapping of the Da Plan for German payments. how, two years from its ince they seriously threaten the Young reparations plan to the extent that President Hoover has called for a moratorium for a year on payments of both debts and reparations. No one ever questioned the le; of the debt or reparation obii: Moral or ethical argument. collection were, in effect, But in a world stricken b: sion, the economic argument more insistently than ever to the fore. Abolition of slavery, p: nd many wars have been about by pressure of the ecor argument reinforcing the imp: moral argument.

Trade Revival Only Hope Congress is overwhelmingly op- Posed to debt cancellation, but the ta; world now faces the likelihood of debt and reparation revision in th near future. The one thing t. might head it off, it is felt here, w be a real world business boom wh would put Germany back on her feet and make practicable a resumption of international payments. Calvin Coolidge, in answer to pleas 1 for debt cancellation, is said to have replied: Fe “Well, they hired the money, didn’t they?” ti The same orthodox viewpoint about debt payments is expressed by Sena- {} tor Byrnes of South Carolin: the Democratic members with whom the Hoover conferred just before the moratorium proposal. says: “The fact that a government may be unable to make immediate del Payments offers no more excuse for cancellation than in the case of an individual who owes money. If the only way to stimulate business with g our customers is to cancel their debts: “y, ‘we must revise some of our funda- mental conceptions of credit and business.” Considerable Cancellation But in defending the Italian deb settlement, which was regarded as cancellation to the extent of 80 pe a cent, Secretary of the Treasury Mel- ~ Jon said: “The American producer needs co: these debt settlements. The entire foreign debt is not worth as much to the American people in dollars and cents as a prosperous Europe as a! customer.” | Our debt-funding commission held that a foreign debtor “must be p: mitted to preserve and improve its economic position, to bring its bud- get into balance, and to place its! finances and currency on a sound basis, and to maintain, and if pos- sible to improve the standard of 1. ing of its citizens. No settlement which is oppressive and retards the recovery and development of the for- eign debtor is to the best interest of the United States or of Europe.” World Depression Blamed at Lebanon, Ind., M1 her t © sandwiches carried picnic. and competition, that in that, that s and ev! percent ceipts .
