UNCLE TED'S BED TIME
STORIES
The Story OF Ten Billion
Dollars


Daddy say at dinner the other day
that the United States had loaned
an awful lot of money to other
countries during the war and that
we might not get some Of it back" !"
well, Jack" replied Uncle Ted,
your father was certainly right
when he said that the United
States had loaned other countries
lot of money. You see kitldies,
during the war it was necessary
for the allies who were fighting
Germany to have large sums OF
money with which to buy war ma
terials, food and supplies. 1t hap.
pened so that the United States
had more money than anyone else
at the time and We loaned the var
ious countries different amounts
of money at different times until
the total amount has reached the
enormous figure of $40, 600, ,00O, 600"
''Phew!" said Ruth, that's lot
of money"
II should say il was a lot of
money. Aud the worst of it is
that many of the people in Great
Britain think we should cancel
the amount we loaned England"
"What do you mean cancel the
amouut'p" asked Jack.
by thst, Jack, | mean let them
keep the money and never pay it
back. You zee, these countries
!bcySo ovAs sshis money With the nm
1derstansiing that they we're not only
to pay it back but that they must
pay interest. that is, pay certain
amount for the right to use the
tmoneYs Now there seems to be
movement on foot in Europe, es-
pecially in England, to not only
get out of paying the interest but
to get out of paying back any of
the money at ALL"
"How much did we loan Eng
land?' asked Jack.
I'VE loaned Great Britain 81
21O, 100000. Great Britain has
loaned other countries $S,700.0O0,-
600. OF course, S4,210.000,OO0 of
that amount was furnished Great
Britain by the United States, SO
that Great Britain has really only
loaned to other countries 81, 490,-
100000. To give you an idea of
how certain Englishmen think
about this matter, l will tell you
about a man by the name of May
nard Keynes, who is connected
with the British Treasury in some-
what the same way that our
Assistant Secretaries are connect
ed with our Treasury. He says
that because Germany will not be
able to pay back much for the ter
rible damage she did during the
war, that the United States should
do the paying! OF course, he
means by paying, that we should
tell all the allies that they can keep
the money we loaned them and
forget it! Besides this, he says,
in round about way, that if we
don't do this these nations might
call another war in order to keep
from paying this money. That
sort Of thing is not only silly but
dangerous and the sad part OF it is
that many Britishers feel the same
way.
1T wouldn't be quite SO had if
Mr.. Keynes stopped at saying this
much but he goes on and suggests
that after the United States has
told the allies that they can keep
this $1O.0oo0OO,OOo0 that this
country should make another loan
| of about sl,Ooo,00o,000 to help the
countries on the other side of the
Atlantic get in a position to do
business on as big ascale as We do.
In other words he would have the

The salary of the city teamster
has been advanced from $85 to
500 per month, which explains
the broad smile John Cruise has

something near what it cost, the

WHITE GIRLS A PROBLEM
, IN LoNDON'S CHINATOWN
(By United Press.)

LONDON (By MaiD London mag.
istrates are perplexed over the prob
lem of young girls infatuated with the
yellow and black men who have their
residence around Limehouse.
Miss Lee, property owner and the
guide, philosopher and friend of her
Chinese tenants, says that in her ex-
perience the Cinnamon, while they
certainly do regard the wife as chat
tel, are not CRUEL to her and quite a
number of them are exceedingly chiv-
alrous. 1.-THE men," she said, do not
go out of this district to look for the
women. The women come here.
A woman missionary, after covers
ing with some of the young and pref.
ty girls who have taken up permanent
residence in Limehouse, says that in
her opinion most of them go among
the colored men in search of adven-
ture, after reading sensational litera-
ture or seeing Chinese films. A few
of these girls are of an educated and
refined type, and many Of them uncom.
monty pretty.
There are many white wives in
Chinatown" she said. Heaps more
today than in times past. One girl
brings another. They are attracted
by the strangeness and unfamiliar
quality of the Oriental. The Chinese
give no trouble, but the black men do.
They have no such ideas of chivalry
as the Cinnamon have"
Recently at the Thames police
court, Magistrate Cairns said this ex-
traordinary infatuation was the great
est problem he had TO deal with.
