Great Britain Ready to Cancel
Her War Loans.
Solution of Situation, Says Ex-
Chancellor of Exchecquer.
U. S. MUST MOVE FIRST
British Would Discuss Question
at Arms Farley.
Declare German Preparations
Are Offset by Unemployment.

Chicago Oct. 26.-Complete can
collation. of all war debts between the
nations is the only remedy for the
worlds economic distress. in the opin-
ion of Great Britain's leading finan-
formerly chancellor of the exchequer.
Speaking before 400 of Chicago's
financial leaders at a meeting of the
Commercial club last night, Mr.. Nc
Kenna said:
If it were in my power at this mo-
ment. i would cancel the war debts
due the United Kingdom. l do not
believe that the effort by Germany to
pay her debt will be successful. In
order to do so, her exports must be
in excess of her imports at the value
of $65O,0OO,00O a year which is the
amount of the reparations.
Preparations Not Profit.
There are 100000 unemployed in
England. We lose more in a year
thru the unemployment of these men
than we would gain in thirty years
thru the payment of the German
reparatons.
THE same is true in the United
States. One of the uppermost causes
of unemployment is the cheapness Of
labor in Germany"
First Move Up To Q. S.
London, Oct. rs. - Altho Great
Britain may cancel the war debts owed
to her by the other allied powers, she
will make no move to wipe from the
slate the debts owed to the United
States, it was declared today by the
Star.
I'VE understand" said the Star.
"that the pressure brought upon Presi-
dent Harding to insure early discus
sion of international exchanges and
the general financial position of the
world comes from New York bankers
mainly.
Question Out of Arms Farley.
"Colonal Secretary Winston Church
i'll suggested three weeks ago that this
question is as important as disarma-
ment, but the British government is
anxious not to appear to dictate to the
United States regarding changes in
the agenda for the Washington con-
ference
A high treasury official said today
that the government would be guided
solely by public opinion i'll the matter
of canceling debts owed to this coun-
try by the other powers.

faent. Naturally, it may be supposed,
that he may succeed to some of Cara
SOS work. He has proved himself as
workman and artist.
Beniamino Gigli, who Joined the
Metropolitan Opera Company last year,
viii also undoubtedly succeed to some
Of Caruso's work. In one seasons
work he established himself in many
important roles. But, considering the
scope of Caruso's repertory, the tenor
who avoided roles in which he was fa.
nous would limit and hamper himself
to no end.
Opera goers have shown great favor
toward group Of American tenors in
the Metropolitan Opera Company
Among these are Orville Harold
Mario Chamlee and Charles Hackett
Harrold's fame and popularity are ma.
tion-wide, and were we'll established be-
fore he Joined Mr.. Gatti- Casazza's
artists. Hackett made his debut here
in 1919, and has had a definite place
ever since. Mr.. Chamlee Is one of the
youngest of the Metropolitan company
and has friends who expect great
things of him.
These and number Of others are
the men who may be said to succeed
Caruso, in that they may sing roles
Caruso sang.
London insists upon specializing on
successor for Caruso. Perhaps Lon.
don does not feel just as New York
and most of these United States dc
about the great tenor. John McCor.
mack and Tom Burke are suggested, in
London. Both tenors are so distinctly
| different from Caruso that it sounds
foolish to repeat the suggestion. And
in the case of Mccormack, at least, who
has always had an immense following
coincidental and probably equal to that
of Caruso himself, it would seem
doubly ridiculous to consider that he
be named to succeed any one.
Another small point regarding the
next king of voice, who, in our opinion
is not yet born unsteady. He will be
none of those already known. He will
snot be familiar to the public owe,
which he is to reign, and when he
comes he will be himself and create
and fill his own place from the begin.
