Tand and Lithuania. ‘The indebtedness of the var! countries to the Unted States ae ite, in the aggregate, more tha} , for each man, woman and chil¢ dn this country, the total inc!udin Overdue interest being $11,333,194,- 000. ‘The British debt will be the first fo be taken up. Beside being the largest, it is the only one that offers any considerabie hope for carly cash. INTEREST, TOO The British debt to the United States, on money and credit ad- Yanced during the war, is $4,166,218,. 358.14. In addition, there is an item Of $509,173,937 overdue interest. Advances to Great Britain, lke + those to other countries, were made at various rates of interest. To clarify the whole transaction, te now proposed the total debt be refunded by Great Britain issuing bonds with a uniform interest rate and more advantageously spaced ma. turity periods. Such bonds, taken by this govern Ment as security for the loan, would Mot necessariily have to be held til! maturity for Uncie Sam to get his money back. ‘They would be nego- tlable, and as market conditions jus tifled. could be sold to private in Nestors just as our own government bonds would be sold. The refinancing or refunding of the French and Italian loans will call for more finesse than Great Bri tain’s. No one in official circles ex-| pects any result with these that will| produce actual money at an early | date. However, they can be gotten | together into the form of unified | Joans, at a fixed interest rate and a| single maturity date, which will sim: | plify computations and negotiations | at such time as full or partial repay. ment is possible After these will come Belgium, Po- Yand, Czechoslovakia, Serbia, Ruma: nia and a dozen emalier fry among nations. Each will send to Wash ington financial representatives to} assiet ambassadors or ministers in| getting their debt to Uncle Sam re- funded and extended. Mrs. Auce M.

The miners’ piea for a con ference has been treated with Slagrantly violated their signed Bgreement to discuss with the niners a wage contract to take he place of the one expiring at midnight, March 31. Here is the specific clause of he agreement signed in 1920 by the operators: ‘RESOLVED: That an inter. stme joint conference be held prig to April 1, 1922; the time and place of holding such meet- ing ls referred to « committee of tyo operators and two min- ers tom each state herein rep- resented, together with the in- ternatonal officers of the Uni- ted Hine Workers’ organiza tien.” Beligving they have the min- ers at their merey, the opera tors claim this clause does not bind them—a claim as ridicu- Jous as it is infamous and as infamous as it is tragic.

It offers President Harding as fine an opportunity as he is likely to have during his administra tion to serve the people as a whole.
