The strange thing. at first glance,
is that America really wants TO pay

the United States department of COM
merce. IS conducting an official gov
eminent propaganda TO persuade
Americans TO buy British goods Sup
ported by bankers, journalists and
chamber Of commerce experts. he is
telling the American people, and par
Jicularly the business man, that
America must enable Britain to pay
her debts in the easiest and simplest
way in order to disturb international
conditions as little as possible"
In other words, America must con-
tinue 10 back up British credit. which
in turn must uphold the inflated fl
nancial and credit system of the rest
Of the world. especially Europe
Must Pay in Goods.
SO the way in which America can
pay our debt for Us is simply this, ="
points out the Mail we must sci
$4,000, 000,3 900 worth Of goods to the
people Of the United States, which
they viii pay for IN dollars with their
own money. and then. instead Of bring
ing those dollars TO Great Britain. we
must leave them there TO be used in
paying off the debt"
Putting il plainly. Great Britain
would pay her debts in goods There
are only two other ways of paying il,
namely. money or services The chief
service she has to render is ocean
freights. but now that Uncle Samuel
is acquiring a rather hefty mercantile
