HOW WILL ALLIES PAY DEBT?
England and France Said to Be IN
Peculiar Position of Financial
Distress.

Eng1and's foreign investments are
not owned by the government, but by
individuals, and they will not sell;
and there seems as yet no wayEP
compel them. American securities are
the only ones that appeal to the Brlc'
ish and French investors at this mo-
ment as being good.
What no financial expert ever pre-
dicted was the amazing trouble thas
England and France would have In
paying for the equipment purchased In
this country. 1t has been thought
that these two creditor nations would
merely have to sell their foreign Sc
curities, or merely stop making lot
eign investments, to have all the
money they needed. Sir George Par
ish. a representative Of the British
treasury, came to this country last
winter and boastfully told his inter
viewers and hosts that England couid
fight on for five years merely on the
interest from it's foreign investments
An assertion that Sir George prooa-
bly, wishes he had never made. Even
Lloyd-George formerly spoke or the
$4,000, 100000 and the $2,O0O,OOO,OOO
this country and Argentina respec-
lively owe Great Britain; but he mas
long since change his tune. England
and France are in position OF pecu-
liar financial distress, Albert w. AT
wood asserts in the Saturday Evening
Post. They are buying war equipment
in this country on a gigantic scaie'
They are exporting practically nothing
to this country and their inhabitants
will not or cannot sell American Sc
curities back to America. They nave
nothing to pay with but gold. and they
cannot afford to lose gold.
France is in an even more emDar
RAISING position. She has gone mao
for years over epargnes-savings'
The average Frenchman would rather
go without clothes and food at the
present moment than sell his Amerf
can securities at loss. A friend OF
mine in New York recently received
letter from a French banker In which
1t was said that only one thing gave
his clients une grande quietude at tht
present moment, and that was thei!
holdings of American stocks ana
bonds.
Wherever you go in France today
you will find American investments
held intact; for the Frenchman VIII
