EUROPE'S WAR DEBT
TO UNITED STATES

The following reminds one Of the
words in a popular song at the be
ginning Of the Civil War: Uncle
Sam is rich enough to buy US all
"A farm" Now they, the high finan-
ciers, contemplate the adding Of a
neat little hunk" Of European war
debts to our own All Americans
who produce anything Of value will
have the bills to pay.
america Expected TO Forgive
$4,000, 100000 Allied Loans" is the
heading which the Minneapolis Trib-
une runs over a news article on that
subject by its Washington cores
pendent.
Arrangements for the refunding
Of these loans and advances to the
allies says the correspondent, have
practically been completed. The ar
rangements call for funding not only
of the advances but Of the interest
for a period Of three years Con
sequently payments will not be due
at this time.
Experts in international finance,
however, and American bankers who
have recently gone into foreign bank
ing, have reached a conviction that
payment will never be demanded
They are consequently basing all
their calculations upon such a basis.
Several things come to mind on
reading the above propaganda One
Of the principal reasons for kicking
Russia after she was knocked out by
the war was that she refused to rec
ognize international obligations. The
allies recognize them but are prcpar.
ing to beg off. The latter methoc
may be more polite but the result or
the ledger is the same
Also France and England are fl
nancing about 10 wars with money
they are not paying on their debt.
or using to aid their own peoples
And these wars are to consoldat,
trade territory against America a.
well as other nations.
The fact that our financiers enter
tain the idea at all indicates that tn,
system Of high finance in Europ
is nearer collapse than we are gen
orally told and they know that
breakdown there would mean simila
breakdown here with industrial de
mocracy taking its place. Hence tn
willingness to swallow the bitteres

Enormous Burden
Of Pr0fiteering

WASHINGTON, May 29.-An in
teresting feature Of Mr.. W. Jett
Lauck's important report TO the rail-
road labor board showing that prof.
teering and not increased labor costs
caused the high cost Of living, is the
examination made Of the incomes
Of corporations Corporations receiv-
ing one-sixth Of the corporate income
Of the United States made $500, 900
900 more a year during 1868 than
during l912-14. If all the corpora
tions did as we'll as these, they re-
ceived $4,000, 100000 more a year in
those three years than during the
prewar period.
With l10,000000 people in the
United tSatcs or Z2,000,O00 families
Of five each, every family paid S240
per year more 10 these corporations
during the war than they did in the
years before the war. Mr.. Lauck,
however, contending that the figures
for profits are much less than the
real profits because Of various meth
DDS used TO hide from the public the
real gains, declares that an average
Of 81 200 for a family Of five in the
| three years 1868 is a highly con
servative estimate Of the actual cost
Of profiteering.
This means that an average Of
$500 a year was paid by each fam
| lily Of five to make up, not the total
corporate profits during the three
war years, but only those profits in
excess Of the prewar gains. Else
where in the report Mr.. Lauck shows
that the total profits Of 1919 were
almost as much as those Of 1908.
