Chautauqua Secured for
Snowflake This Summer

C. Ray Breitweiser, repre-
senting the Cadman Chautauqua
Co. of Topeka, Kan, has been
spending the week in Snowflake
trying to get our people inter-
ested in Chautauqua entertain
ments to be held here during the
coming summer. Mr.. Brett
Weiser's efforts have resulted in
booking for Snowflake five high
class entertainments, all of a
different nature, to be here some
week in June. Over twenty citi-
zens have signed the contract or
agreement for getting the Chau-
tauQua here, which makes it a
sure go.
This will probably be the first
chautauqua company to ever ap-
pear in Navajo county, as it
takes a big guarantee to book
such companies, a small place
being fortunate indeed to be
able to come through with the
guarantee usually asked for these
entertainments.

This is sufficient reason alone,
for not adventuring another dol
lar in Europe except for loans to

only thru private business.
Further credits to Europe must
be of this kind and should be
conditioned on the people dis
arming and going to work as
we did after the Civil War. Did
anybody starve in this country
at that time? Did we ask Eu-
rope to help US? IF we perpet-
uate European loafng at our

payer and not own an inch of
real estate. For this reason |
believe all the people are vitally
concerned at this moment in the
stupendous scheme to saddle this
country with a so-called inter-
national loan of 35 billions of
dollars that would scarcely be
worth paper on which it was
written.
| have said something about
this before but find it difficult to
do the subject justice.
AS a people we have learned
one lesson SO thoroly this last
year that we have got it by
heart as the boys say. 1t is
that business passes its taxes to
the consumer by adding the cost
of them to the price of the goods
and that every time we buy any
thing we are paying some of
these taxes.
It is equally true that every
large financial transaction, is
based on the earning power and
the property of the people, al
most to the same extent that
farm becomes a security for a
mortgage.
1t can be imagined what such
a gigantic loan to England and
to Europe as 35 billions would
mean to this people, who already
have lent Europe 10 billions of
dollars on which not a cent of
interest has yet been paid.
The Secretary of the Treasury
enumerates, that since the arm
istiee the Treasury has made
direct cash advances sc 81, $50.
.891, 900 to the allies, with S736,-
481, 600 additional thru purchase
of their currencies to cover u. S.
expenditures in Europe; and has
soldthem on credit 658 millions
in supplies; has expended 100
million dollars in relief, and has
allowed S324,211, 900 in unpaid
interest to accrue.
1t is nov very plain that Eu
rope has long intended to make
this nation responsible for the
war debts of the allies. This,
it now appears, was so take the
form of another and more gi-
gantic loan with no real obliga
tion to repay.
1t was the original plan to
execute this loan thru the
| League of Nations. But the
Treaty was not ratified and now
it will not be except with res
ervations. The delay has been
the means of uncovering the
true inwardness of this con-
spiracy to work upon the SYM
pathies of the American people,
capitalize those sympathies. then
let Uncle Sam hold the sack.
This sack was to contain the
financial burden Of the larger
part of the allies war debts and
| include a virtual taking over of
! Great Britain's huge war obll-
cations.
The aid Of some of our big
bankers has been enlisted IN
/ this scheme. The recent urge
that this country go back to war
/ rations and squeeze every nickel
for a year or. more to pile up
/ funds to finance" Europe and
so help our sorely- pressed profit
GERS to keep it up a little

Europe's Great Confidence Game

owe US.
Think of canceling a debt of
10 billions, then lending the
creditors 35 billions more and
becoming the endorser on the
creditors note! Never before
has such a gigantic confidence
game ever been dreamed of or
attempted. And Uncle Sam is
expected to fall for it.
These manifestations h V e

It was Sir George who really

clared his mission here was to

The outgoing Secretary of the

he thinks of the proposition to
shift upon our soldiers the bulk
of the worlds war debt in addi-
ton to the 80 billions of our
own a staggering total not far
surpassed by the greatest of the
allies in four years of war.
Not to mention the 81 billion
dollar deficit the Washington
government must raise this year,
an amount exceeding twice over
the total of all our war and in
come taxes for the last twelve
