a Precedent
To Respect

lrVEN more interesting than the
report that France is consider
ing the sale of her West Indian
possessions to the United States in
part settlement of her war debt is
Hhe statement that Great Britain OBJ
Fleets to the proposition.
The British opposition is said to
be based upon the apprehension lest
tsuch action on the part of France
would establish precedent for sur
rendering territory in America for
allied debts which the United States
might expect Great Britain to follow.
There is an ancient precedent for
the PAYMENT of debts in any way
that may be possible to the debtor,
and honest to the creditor, that the
United States does expect Great Brit
ain to follow. It is not necessary that
The payment be made by the sur
render Of territory. Money will do
1uite as well
The reiterated suggestion that
The British West Indies should be
accepted as part payment has been
made only in the effort to make that
payment as easy as possible for a
country which, like the rest of Eu-
rope, is sorely pressed to meet it's
obligations.
Under normal conditions the
United States would have no partic-
nlar use for the British West Indies.
Their trade is ours already. AS a
menace in time Of war they can be
guarded against.
As a base of supplies for rum
Hootleggers nowadays, as they were
. base for blockade runners during
our civil war, they are more an irri-
satin1 than serious injury We can
struggle along without them until
the advantages to their people of al
fiance with the nation whence comes
their chief support shall inevitably
bring them to us. If Great Britain
does not care to relieve her own bur-
den of taxation at home by selling
the islands now, that is tragedy
for her taxpayers-not ours.
