BY SAMUEL CHARRY.

1HERE is a tide in the affairs of
nations, as of men. Taken at the
flood, Shakespeare assures us this
tide leads on to fortune; neglected or un-
recognized, "all the voyage is bound in shall
lows and i'm miseries"; and constant effort
fails to achieve the result which was within
easy reach in the hour OF advantage. Worse
yet the chance may he seized by another
more alert and the advantage turned against
our nation.
The United States, 1t seems to me, is fac
ing one of the great emergencies of its his
tory. Three years ago we confronted an
other-a situation which we all agreed was
the most serious since the civil war. Though
wholly unprepared, had taken up arms
against Germany in defence of our national
honor and the safety of our citizens We
had upset tradition by enacting universal
service law. We had launched a colossal
programme of army and navy expansion, of
shipbuilding and big gun making. We had
oversubscribed huge Liberty loans.
All along the line we had surprised our
selves and amazed the world by the vigor
and deadly earnestness Of oNr response
the peoples response-to an the demands
put upon us. For it was unity of purpose.
Of vision and understanding of the things
at stake which made our people nvincible
and our armies irresistible in attack. Every
one-soldier farmer, professional man, .me-
chanic, laborer merchant manufacturer
every one was an American first.

the same breath Keep your manufactured
articles at home" is to arrive nowhere. To
say PAY" and admit the sole form of pay
ment which can be made-nanhely, Euro
pean manufactured goods-is to parayze
American industries and abandon the cardi-
nal doctrine of the Republican party. 1t is
also TO bring about prostration in our Amer
lean industrial situation
But this is only one circumstance. Europe
not only owes us for the loans of the war
period, she needs now many of our raw ma
terials and some of our manufactured ar
ticles. She can't buy them unless we eX-
tend credit, and she only pay for them.
too in goods, in manufactured goods. And
thus to pay means to add still further to the
sum total of manufactured goods she must
force into our markets. But if some method
is not found to permit Europe to absorb our
surplus of raw materials and our cotton and
foodstuffs in particular we shall continue
to have the same domestic problem which
now confronts alike the farmers and the
fnanciers.
Thus at the present moment one of the
first problems posed for the incoming Ad-
ministration is: How can We preserve and
Increase the protection of domestic pro-
duction and at the same time compel and
accept the payment of the foreign loans?
The New York herald., 1921-02-20

our raw materials is automatically closed
With the invasion of Germany we arrive
at something approximating new war. the
dslocation of German industrial life and
the inevitable cessation of all German pay
ments, at least temporarily. So. to put the
thing In the commonest of all language the
American would "get it coming and going"
He would lose at one end through the cessa-
ton of payment on the debts at the other
by the interruption OF his trade.
Nevertheless we should have no standing
in court to protest against French military
action. for. in the last analysis. the larger
part of what France would seek TO collect
by military action would be represented
ultimately by payment to US, since the loans
we have made to our associates equal more
than half of the sum total OF German repara-
tions. Any protest on our part against pro-
tracted French occupation of German ter
ritory, against an extension of the area
occupied, against military steps of any sort
would be promptly met by the French reply
"But we cannot pay you otherwise than by
making Germany pay"
There remains the third possibility: Tenn
porary suspension of the payment OF the
interest and sinking fund charges or our
associates, following the actual agreement
upon some basis of settlement. But II this
eases the strain and commends itself to not
a few members of Congress who are eager
to avoid present troubles, 1T is at best an
unsatisfactory compromise, for the Euro
pean nations will still insist upon German
payment, since they have eventually to pay
us, while suspension of payment will only
increase the amount that will ultimately
have to be paid, and thus the annual flood
of goods sent to us.
One other proposal has been made recently
1t is suggested that the United States and
Great Britain should join in cancelling what
the Continental nations who were allies or
associates owe them. This would mean a
cancellation by us of $6,000,O0O,OOO and by
Great Britain of sS,00o0O0,0OO. but the Two
amounts represent about equal value. given
the unequal credit of the borrowers. This
would extinguish $4,000, 100000 of paper in
the world.
At the same time the nations thus bene-
fitted should be required to reduce their

able obligation by methods which are not
wholly commendabe. Austen Chamberlains
proposal produced rather violent outcry
in Congress, even in quarters most friendly
to our recent associates.
There subsists a notion, also widespread.
that Mr. Wilson undertook to employ this
financial weapon to accomplish his political
purposes at Paris and that our European
allies, themselves wholly uninterested in MIR.
Wilson's Utopian schemes, permitted him to
have his own way as to them, seeking their
reward In the more practical directions rep
resented by colonies and concessions. This
contributed to making the reception of the
Chamberlain proposal still more unpopular.
But if all sentimental and moral aspects
may be dismissed as nonexistent or at least
not accepted by the American public. there
remains the practical detail. If we insist
that Europe pay us eleven billion. then each
European nation will Insist that it's creditors
pay it. Half a dozen European nations owe
us. the same nations owe Britain, three or

rope has the right to collect its money from

to take such steps as may seem to her
necessary to force Germany to pay. This
means, in the first place, that the European
nations will demand OF Germany enough to
meet our claims and pay for their own re-
construction. which is exactly the sum they
have demanded, namely. S21 900 100000. We
can only ask reduction of the sum asked of
Germany-granted it seems to us too large

Cancellation idea Unpopular Here
And Made More So by Diplomats

on the subject of possible cancellation of
The European loans l hesitate to say more
than have already written here. The pro-
posal is hopelessly unpopular for obvious
reasons. The country feels Europe ought to
pay, and the feeling has been enormously
accentuated by more or less maladrot
maneuvres by certain foreign statesmen.
The effort to establish the idea that there
is moral obligation upon us to cancel
that loan, all or any of the loans. simply
has not caught on"
On the contrary there is general feeling
voiced strongly in Washington, where l am
writing this, quite frequently, that the
United States ought to insist upon the pay
ment of the loans, If only to prevent the
European nations from spending the money
in military establishments and colonial ven
lures. Justly or unjustly, there is feeling
that Europe is trying to evade an honor
