Shall We Give Europe Receipted Bill for Ten Billion

derstood that they had gone into the
war to defeat Germany and the mass
Of the European people, like their
leaders, have been persuaded by
American public men, by the Presi-
dent, before all others, that our en-
trance into the war was the ultimate
evidence Of purpose to share hence
forth in the regulation Of world af-
fairs; that the war was not Q pro-
tective investment, a necessary ex-
penditure to preserve our own
safety, but an actual and deliberate
mission Ito make the world safe for
democracy" if one please.
Root of Criticism
At the root Of most Of the criticism
which one now hears Of the United
States in Europe lies the idea that
we have gone back upon moral and
material obligations which were ex-
PRESSED in the language Of Mr.. Will
son at Paris. in the attitude we
adopted throughout the Paris Confer
ence. If France and Great Britain
to-day believe that we have duty,
expressed in such terms as the pro
posal regarding the $4,000, 100000
loan, the explanation must be found
not In European presumption, pri-
marily, but in American profession.
You have an odd and far from
happy situation. France and Great
Britain believe that the war, ir
which they made such vast sac
rifices, in which they receive,
wounds from which recovery, If nc
longer doubtful, must still be long
and painful. was in the fullest sense
our war as much as theirs, and that
in it they did their own share and
much of our share. And they can
support this view alike with the fig-
ures Of their own losses and with
the words of American representa-
tives in Paris. When they propose
that we shall forgive them $1O,-
000, ,0o0, 600 Of debts, the proposal is
not, to their minds, based upon char
ity, It Is not a request for further
benefactions, it Is rather a demand
that we fulfill our share Of obliga-
tions which we have acknowledged.
Now every one knows that the
view Is quite the oppo-
site. Here in Washington and large
New-York tribune., 1920-02-08

ly throughout the country l find the
general opinion to be that in the
World War the United States saved
France and Great Britain by mill
tary interposition and then and
thereafter saved Europe by the
enormous contributions of food and
money. That there is any further
positive obligation, that we owe Eu-
rope the $4,000, 100000 because Of
what Europe did for US, that we
have been the beneficiaries Of the
New-York tribune., 1920-02-08

sufferings and sacrifices Of others,
this notion does not to any extent
prevail in the United States.
AS 1t is, Europe sees the United
States endeavoring to escape from
moral obligations. voluntarily ac-
knowledged, when these obligations
involve material burdens, while the
United States sees Europe attempt
ing to take advantage Of what it re-
CARDS as its previous generosity by
saddling upon it enormous financial

Two Points of View

Two Points of View
OF course, If the United States
only entered the war az a limited
action, as temporary partner will
ing to do its part without stint from
the moment it did enter until the
enemy was defeated, the whole stu
alton takes on different aspect.
On such basis we did perform our
part, rather more than less; this will
hardly be challenged in Europe. And
ON such a basis we were and are
justified in retiring, once the purely
limited purpose for which we en-
tered, namely, the defeat Of Ger
many, become menace to us by
her submarine course, had been ac-
complished. Our partnership was not
in the concern seeking to organize
the world, but in an association
striving to abolish the German peril.
The more compare the European
view of American relation to the
war with the view I find held gener-
ally in this country, the more / am
led to believe that the real misunder-
standing grows out Of the fact that
the mass Of the American people un-

I'm ALL the discussions Of the re-
Mobilization of Europe which
Il are coming from the other side
of the ocean now there is an un-
mistakable concentration Of atten-
ton upon the financial aspect and
an equally patent suggestion that
the easiest, perhaps the only, solu-
ton Of the European difficulty, so
far as it has solution outside Of
time and work, will be found in the
forgiveness by the United States of
the $4,000, 100000 loaned by us to
our European associates in the war
and remaining debt, to be paid in
the future. Already, moreover, we
have agreed to postpone the pay
ment Of the interest on this debt for
a period Of time and under certain
conditions.
From the moment Of the meeting
Of the peace conference onward
Paris was filed with suggestions all
having the same general character.
Thus M. Ribot, several times presi-
dent of the French Council and as
such Prime Minister and one Of the
most eminent Of French finance min
listers, early in the conference pro-
posed that there should be a general
pooling of all the debts of the Allied
and associated powers and then that
the total should be reapportioned on
the basis Of the existing wealth of
the several countries and the COM
parative sacrifice in men and In
money made by these nations in the
war.

Wants New Loans

Wants New Loans
In the present article I am not
endeavoring to suggest that the Eu-
ropean view is correct, that it is
just, that it should be accepted In the
United States. But it does seem to
me essential, if there is not to be dam
gerous resentment and unjust crit.
cism, that there should be q recog.
milton in the United States of tho
reasons which underle the Euro
pean view. If Europe Is not war.
ranted in its present opinion. there
is no less unmistakable basis for that
opinion discoverable in American
utterances in Paris.
The British and the French de-
mand for the American contribution
Of s10,O00,000.00O is only first
and part payment; even Mr. Keynes
suggests new loans, once the old are
cancelled, payment on account
and for the establishment of that
scheme of world ordering which
Mr.. Wilson advocated at Paris, de.
clared to be the desire of his fellow
countrymen and, so far as was pos
slble, endeavored to persuade his
countrymen to accept. 1t is our
contribution to the capital stock Of
the league Of nations, wholly rea-
sonable assessment, provided only
that the United States acknowledges
the obligation, joins in the articles
OF incorporation. The weakness in
the European argument lies in the
belief that what American represent
atives did in Paris actually COM
mltted US to the partnership and
that what is now going on is no less
than an attempt to escape from just
obligations, to repudiate our COM
mitment. The fact that the United
States was not bound by the word
or the signature of the President
until both had been ratified by the
Senate Is what has so far ESCAPED
European attention.
Lord Crey's Letter
To facilitate European under.
standing of American circumstances.
nothing has contributed more than
the recent letter of Lord Grey, print
ed in "The London Times": it makes
clear the legal aspects of the Amei-
can situation perfectly. But evan
this document will not at once de-
molish the previous notion that
America is repudiating an ooliga-
ton which was actually binding;
still less will it remove the belief
that America recognizes a moral
obligation, which, at the moment, at
least, seems to be exactly what
America does not recognize.
Lord Grey is the first Englishmsn
who has seriously attempted to ex.
plain to his fellow countrymen the
facts in the American situation.
Lloyd George has been at pains to
befuddle British minds by his con.
slant assertion that politics alone,
partisan considerations, exclusively
explained the American delay in &C.
cepting the treaty. But it is equally
necessary that the European, the
British, situation should be explained
IN America and that Americans
should understand the reasons why
Europe asks and expects things frpm
America which Americans do NOT
feel that they are called upon y
give and cannot understand wN
Europe shold feel justified in d.
manding.

ON THE TRAIL

Another reason congress is unable
to reduce the income tax is shown by
the development of the fact that with
the conniyance of high officials of
the Washington administration
thieving war-contractors managed to
steal $7s,0O0,000 from the govern
ment in the construction of the sew
eral army camps. The house by n
practically unanimous vote has de-
cided TO prosecute the eases to the
bitter end, and there is absolutely no
question that the exposures made
will be as startling as they are
shameful The operation of the
"cost plus' system, the pet of the
efficiency impassioned Mr.. Baker,
seems 10 have proved one of the
most infamous inflictions ever visit
ed upon this country, and il is likely
