FIGHTING FOR MONEY

The German prcSs still insists tha
we went to war for financial rca
sons, and are fighting ior money
1t is a waste OF time to argue with
the German press but the charge
is so curious that an American can
not help noticing it. The German
argument is that we were afraid OF
losing the big suns the allies owed
us for war materials, and so we
jumped in to save them and get our
money back.
The allies may have owed us. al
together, in various ways, several
bNlions OF dollar. For most of it
we had good security Now here
we are, having spent already several
times as much as those debts
TO, planning the further
OF cough money to
buy the German empire outright
with the specific understanding that
we make no claim to territory, war
or special trade rights.
We need not blame the Germans,
however, for nIsrepresenting us.
Such unselfish ideaism is incompre-
hensible beyond the Rhine.
