The reference, of course, is to the war debt, of course, is simply to point out that American aid to Britain is not for Britain's sake but for America’s safety. We are not giving anything away. are simply protecting our own country in the cheap- lvst, and surest way. | But the war debt ghost needs to be laid also | The facts are simply stated. Great Britain has not | repudiated her debt to us. And she has paid im- y more, absolutely and relatively, than major debtor nation. Britain was the first nation to begin repaying. She has paid back more than $2,000,000,000 to date, despite the stupendous Wed- obstacles we placed in the way of payment by our post-war tariff policy. In round figures, Britain has paid 50 percent of | her debt, France 12 percent, and Italy five percent. Germany has not paid anything on a $400,000,000 debt of long standing, On its face, this situation | indicates that Britain has a remarkably good record. lives YOU rpere is no harm in recalling in this connection | 22— ALASKA’ DAY JANUARY NEW l‘\l)LI’l,f\])I‘ \( E To those young Aln\k.uh who will register nesday and who may be drafted later January 22 will start new chapter in your lives.
