Be Freed of Deb.

The upshot Of this arrangement
would be that the Continental states
would be relieved Of their burden
Of foreign debt and be free to apply
the sums received from Germany to
the costs Of actual PREPARATION. The
sum Of German payments would be
reduced TO a point which might be
regarded as possible by Germans
themselves. OF course, il they re-
fused 10 pay anything, it would
make no difference what ths, sum
hXed was, anyway. Great Britain
would still owe the United States
81 30, 600, ,00O, bat no one has sug
gested that this is in excess Of Brit
lsh capacity to pay, whereas every
one agrees that for the French. the
Italians and the Eelgians tie pay
ment Of their external debt is CON
dltional 'on German payments to
them.
AS for the United States, It's part
would amount to little more than
wiping off its books debts which
cannot be collected, debts which, if
they stand, will not improbably pro
duce an economic collapse in Eu-
rope which will not merely abolish
all hope of realizing Oh our loans,
but destroy profitable markets and
not impossibly involve US in new Eu-
ropean expenditures on 4 vast scale.

lean policy should be adopted on the

them for reparatlons. Italy Will get
little from Germany, but she has
large claims against Austria and
Hungary which may be met by Aus
trian and Hungarian bond issues, Of
no real value, but the chief italian
asset in the situation.
The United States viii not under
take to collect $1,000, 900, 900 from
Germany or $4,000. 100000 from
Austria and Hungary. That is Ger
tain. 1t viii not run all the risks in

fairs, it will not undertake to main

mensurate with d $1,000, 900 ,O0O

did the expense might reduce the
principal enormously and a new war,
which might result, would certainly
wipe it out altogether.
1t seems TO me, then, that the sole
avenue Of escape from the situation
must lie III an agreement by Great
Britain and the United States to
cancel the debts owed them by their
Continental allies as a detail in the
scheme to reduce German reparations
to d sum within German resources
and sufficiently reasonable 10 attract
Germans themselves, namely, 81 300
100000. This would call for a sac
ritice on the part Of the British Of a
sum amounting nomiMaily 10 $500
100000, but estimated by Keynes to
be worth not more than half as
much. His figure was $4,210,000,-
600, The American sacrifice would
be nominalIy $500, 100000, but this
sum, TOO. would be subject 10 a SIM
liar reduction and at most could rot

$4,000, 100000. Against the some

How France Would Benefit

If this Keynes plan we're put
into effect the result would be this:
France, by virtue of canceling the
debts owed her by Italy and Belgium
and having Cancelled the debts
which she owed the United States
and Britain, would benefit to the
extent of $500, 900, 900 and would
be freed Of all external debt.
In addition she would have s.. .060,-
000,o00 of German indemnity to-
ward repairing German devasta-
tions which Keynes himself csti-
mates at S4,000,000,0O0.
Great Britain would receive lust
short of 100000 100000 from Ger-
many and be freed of debt OF ST.
20 100000 owed the United States.
She would, on the other hand, have
to cancel debts owed her by her Con-
tlnental allies having face value
OF $8,700,000,000, but an actual
value, according to Keynes. Of rather
less than half. In a word Britain
would come out even by the cancella-
tions and have $1,000,000,000 from
Germany to meet 50 10000, 600 rep-
aration expenses.
To put the thing rather differently,
according to the Keynes plans Ger
many would pay France $2,0O0,000,

900 in reparations, but the United
States would give France $780,
100000 by cancelling French debts
amounting to that sum. Germany
would pay Great Britain $1,O0O,0OO,-
900 in reparations, but the United
States would present Britain with
$4,2l0, 100000 in similar debts. Italy
would get $25O,0O0,000 from Ger
many, but $1,G25 ,000,O 900 from the

would pay Il capitalization value of
$7,500,000.000 to her enemies for
the destruction wrought by Ger
man armies and submarines. but the
United States would pay $1O,OO0,-
100000 to her associates in order to
enable them to let Germany off from
larger payments, which, to Keynes's
mind, would impcril the economic
stability Of the world.

any conceivable bond issue.
But it is not less clear that Mr..
Cravath's suggestion, which is iden-
tical with that of the American
financial experts at the Paris Confer
ence, would be equally unsatisfac-
tory to France and to Belgium For
the French share Of this total would
be but $4,125, 100000, while the net
external debt Of France is $4,5G5,-
0,000. As for Belgium, she would
receive $1.000,0 100000, which would
stand against an external debt Of
81 $40 100000. Great Britain would
receive $1,875, 100000, against war
damage by submarines and aircraft
which Keynes estimates at $780,
100000. Actually, the sum would
not cover the unquestionable losses
due to German devastations either
in Britain, France or Belgium, nor
would it meet the foreign oblipa-
tlons Of any of the Continental ma
tons.
Keynes recognized all this III his
book. But in order to get around
the difficulties he proposed that the
United States should cancel ali the
debts owed it by the several Euro
pean countries. In no other way
could he see any chance Of rcduc-
ing the German indemnity and he
reasoned that unless this were re-
duced not Germany alone. but All

By this simple process, then,
France, Great Britain and Belgium
would have liquidated their external
debts. Italy, on the contrary, would
still owe the United States $685.
600 and Great Britain $780,
100000, total external debt of $3,-
1875, 100000. Even more important
from the European standpoint would
be the fact that the United States
would become the principal creditor
of Germany and therefore the ma
tion most concerned in compelling
Germany to meet her obligations.
Such was the Hythe proposal. I do
not mean to discuss the American
phase Of it here, because it seems
fairly clear that the United States
will not, under any circumstances,
accept the role suggested for it at
Hythe. | cannot conceive that In
the contemporary mood of the ma
ton toward European entangle-
ments the present or any new Ad-
ministration would even consider
substituting for British, French and
Belgian promises to pay German
paper, whose value is far less GER
tain, and accepting thereby Euro
pean responsibilities of almost in
calculable magnitude.

At Our Expense

Two fallacies totally ruin the con-
structiVe phase Of keynes's volume
first, his effort to substitute for a
damage which he fixes al $780,
000,00 a reparation of $2JO.0OO,-
600 annually for thirty years, which
represents capital value Of only
$500, 900, 600, and second, his gro
tesque attempt to save the European
situation at the expense Of Ameri-
can taxpayers by calling upon them
to bear a burden three times IS great
as that laid upon the shoulders OF
the Germans, who provoked the war
and wrought the destruction which
1t is now necessary to pay foY.
| accept the figure Of the .Amcri-
can experts at Paris, which is the
figure of Mr.. Cravath, for the maxi
mum of German payments possible,
namely, annual payments having
present capitalizable value Of ST.
500, 100000. Accepting this figure,
It is clear TO me tna6 this payment
alone will not save France, Belgium
or Italy. 1t will not go half way
toward meeting the expense Of re-
storing their devastated areas, ac-
cepting the lowest estimate which
has been placed upon this task, that
Of Mr.. Keynes, and meeting their
external obligations, which must be
met if bankruptcy is to be escaped.
Actually, it viii meet the costs Of
restoration alone, if one accept Mr..
Keynes's figures, which are notori-
ously low.
Assuming that Germany VIII and
can pay S500,000,000 annually for
twenty-eight years, the sum which
about equals her prewar expenditure
upon her army and navy, how, then
Is the situation to be met in such
fashion as to save France, italy and
Belgium from the financial ruin
which has resulted from the Ger
man-made war? Obviously. not. by
Mr.. keynes's ingenious method Of
saddling the whole cost upon Ameli-
can shoulders. But might it not be
just possible that the United States
and Great Britain, who have bene-
fitted from the war, might bear the
burden together?
| recognize that such a suggestion
will call forth instant and wellnigh
unanimous American objections. To
hint at the cancellation of any por-
ton of the debt owed us by Europe
IS to arouse instant protest at home.
Vet the simple fact is that the debt
is OF mighty little real value, 50 tar
as the Continent is concerned, unless
the United States is willing to ac-
cept the Hythe proposal and ex~
cnange its Continental paper for
German bonds. The only thing that
the French or the Bclgians can paw
us with for many years to come will
be the German bonds turned over to

Now, the first purpose to which
this money is to be put by the Euro
pesn nations is, obviously, to dis
charge their foreign debts. In
word. the primary necessity Of
France, Belgium and Italy, and only
in o less degree Of Great Britain, Is
to restore the condition Of exchange
by reducing the external debt. More
over, since the largest single credi-
tor Is the United States, it was but
natural that at Hythe the main dis
cussicn was over the possibility Of
the transfer Of these German bonds
TO the United States.
Granted that the United States
would consent 70 such q transaction,
this Is about what would take place:
France owes Great Britain and the
United States together 5000, ,00O,-
600; she Is in turn owed S625, 100000
by Belgium and Italy, The net ex-
ternal debt of France Is, therefore,
S4,665, 100000. Thus, when France
had turned over this amount in Ger
man bonds she would have left
$3,585, 100000, which would repre-
sent the sum available for her re-
construction Of the devastated areas.
The British situation is somewhat
different. France and Belgium owe
the British $3,o30,O00,O00, which
they would repay by German bonds,
while of the total Italy owes Great
Britain she could pay 1926, 100000,
the balance left of the billion COM
ing to her from Germany, after she
had paid her French debt. Great
Britain would thus receive from the
Continent 1885, 0,000@n German
bonds, but would owe he United

ference at Hythe has served
to recall the ever disturbing
fact that the main circum-
stance in the world settlement, that
Of making Germany pay for the de-
struction she has wrought in her
neighbors' lands, remains about
, where it was when the armistice
ended the fighting in November,
1918. The mere fact that the chief
purpose Of the conference was to
Ak upon a sum which should repre-
sent Germany's obligation Is the
best evidence Of the absence Of any
arrangement up to the present
moment.
Now, at Hythe a figure was agreed
upon to represent the German in
debtedness, but 1t was agreed upon
tentatively, subject to further dis
cussion and subject to amendment
after Germany had been heard at a
later conference at Spa, confer
sncs which, so it now seems, will
be postponed until after the German
elections. Moreover, If these cleo
tons result in a Victory for the re-
dictionary elements in Germany
there may be no conference.
In Annual Payments
The sum agreed upon at Hythe
was expressed in annual payments,
that is, it was decided that Germany
should pay annually for twenty
sight and q quarter years a sum
equal to $1,o00,oo0,o0O in gold.
These, figures are a bit puzzling to
the layman, but they represent an
annual payment which would be
equal to the cost Of q bond issue of
$4,000, 100000. In other words,
bond issue Of S15,000,O 100000 could
be liquidated, principal and interest,
rechoned at per cent, in twenty
eight and half years by annual
payments of $1,000,000,0O0,
In other words, the total of Ger
man reparations was fixed at sum
f $15,O00,000000, but, recognizing
hat Germany could not meet this
obligation Immediately by payment
cash, securities or materials, it
aas further decided that Germany
'hotld be compelled to meet this
debt by annual payments. Thus
Germany can issue TO her Allied
.seditors bonds for $15,00O,000, 900
md discharge this obligation, prin-
pal and interest, by the annual
ayment of 81 ,000,000,00O. This is
rc first step.
The second step is the division of
-..s total reparation or indemnity
long the respective creditors, that
g. among France, Great Britain,
3elglun and Italy. Serbia, Poland
md other states have claims, but it
may be doubted if any of these
claims will be permitted to lie, and
ihe calculations here submitted are
made upon that basis. Of the total
France is to have 55 per cent, Great
Britain 25 per cent The remaining
20 per cent will be divided between
Belgium and Italy. Actually the d.
vision would come to about what is
shown in the following table:

and receiving s2,0o0,O0o,oOO in Ger
man bonds, would retain s660,0O0, 900
when she had settled her external
debts. Always assuming that the
United States were willing to take
German bonds, the redistribution OF
these German bonds would, after the
transactions outlined above, be as

mans in excess Of the ships, mate
rials and other things taken by the
Allies in the armistice period
The trouble with keynes's pro-
posal lies in the fact that, having
scaled the reparations down to the
lowest possible point, he then sug-
gests a payment by Germany Of
$250,0oO,O00 annually Tor thirty
years. But this would represent a
capital value not of $7,50O,O0O, 900
but Of just half, In other words,
it would be comparable to the sug-
gestion that creditor who owed
500 should be permitted to dis
charge his debt in ten payments Of
$40 each, made annually, but the
creditor would thus lose the interest
on his money during the whole time.

obligation be fixed at twenty-eight

which could carry bond issue of
