is STATESMANSHIP DEADf

Seven months after producing at spa
an unworkable scheme for German
reparations the Allied Premiers In Paris
have put forth another plan which ex-
pert criticism declared TO be still i'm
practicable and which ignores the plain
provisions of the treaty under which
it is supposed to have been made.
1t is estimated that with reasonable
arrangements Germany can pay repara-
tions of from S15, 900 900 900 TO 10000
ooo, 900. The specific payments now pro-
possd total s5s 900 900. 600, spread over
forty-two years instead OF thirty years.

value Of these p yInents discounted al
s per cent-thoLkh the assumption OF
any discount rate for long period
is rather guesswork than good book
keeping-exceeds SEC. 600. 100000. the
further estimate of the possible.
But In addition TO these fixed pay
uent- the schemes rrescribes a l3 per
cent export tax on German trade for
tho same period TO be applied to repara-
tions What this might produce is al
so guesrwork And the principle IS mis-
chisyous. Germany can pay only In
goods An export tax tsnas 10 make

Premier Lloyd George. who has the
habit of telling the truth about con-
ditions when no British election is
pendinr, puts his finger on the source
of tho deadlock: "An the Allied Ma
| tfons are agreed that Germany must
nav her Indemnity by exports. All the
Allied Nations are agreed that they do
not want German exports. Every na-
tion wants to protect its own industries.

$500 Charters Repealed by Delaware.

$500 Charters Repealed by Delaware.
The repeating Of the charters of moro
than $500 corporations granted by
Delaware. for failure to pay their taxes
70 the State. indicates how many busi-
ness hopes and aspirations go awry
every year, even in war times when
there seemed business enough for every
body. and to spare. In this long list OF
failures are the names Of many concerns
that took the initiative with tho conv1o-
from A. public obsessed with the "Eet-
the development of their plans. Other
charters, no doubt, were taken out as a
meana to obtaining "casy money
from n uublic obseesed with tho get

during the days of abundance, and
their purposes having been accom-
plished, the concerns arc cast aside. ana
nut out of existence for debt. In all.
more than $500 of them are In the
scrap heap. perhaps mover TO be resur-
rected.
What n story OF ohfcanery, down.
right rascality and of unrcalized hopes
or unanswered prayers. must be back
of this long list of failures. Perhaps
the least deserving, the really dishonest
ones. prospercd while they continued,
while the good, honest-intentioned ones
failed and possibly consumed all the
money invested In the enterprises II
would be interesting to know whnt
| we're the troubles that put eli of these
concerns out OF business or barred them
from prosperity. The story would be
as interesting as would be another ono
| detailing why many Of the crooked
| ones prospered and the straight con-
Germs failed. But of course, dishonesty
| is never long successful.
/ In this long list there seem to bs
concerns that wore planning TO pro-
vide almost everything that man wants
| or needs. We md. also. innumerablc
oil concerns and charters for mining
! companies. and one can but wonder
how many victims the promoters OF
them found, IL the operations OF the
heads OF the fraudulent concerns proved
the claim thnt "a sucker is born evory
minute" OF course there IL no war
rant for inferring that all oil stock and
mining shares issued during the wal
period we're of fictitious value, but II
may be contended that with oil ever

4 are n number OF Delaware charters
forfeited for the same reason--non
rayment or taxes. Their titles indicate
that they we're legitimate concerns an'
probably the "swan song came wheI

Az we have said. the history OF nj
those failurus would be interesting ant

The recent declaration of a pretty
Portland girl, who said that she felt
the stab Of needle while seated In a
