them. Germany in fighting the war
drew upon her internal sources and
can %repudiate her debts; England and
France and Italy were compelled to
borrow of America and cannot repudiate
their debts. Either the French and
British and Italian people will nave to
stagger under the burden Of this debt
and, in the case Of France, under the
added burden incident to the destruction
by tho Germans Of French industrial re-
gions-or that burden must be lifted
from allied shoulders to German. II the
Germans escape, If they can resume the
old game of arming, il French and
British and Italian taxpayers have to
shoulder it, they will be unable even to
arm themselves adequately for self
defense. 1t is essential for Americans
to realize that the question of repara-
tion and restitution, even of indemnity,
is not punitive, it Is not a program Of
plumber of Germany. 1t is merely an
effort to save, primarily France, who
has suffered most, but England and
Italy as well, from the crushing burden
placed upon them by the necessity Of
defending themselves against Germany,
