Reasons for Helping Europe.

What many of our people who are
prsinC that we refrain from involving
ourselves in the European stution fan
10 understand Is that, commercially
London. Paris and Berlin are much
nearer New York to-day than was Buf-
falo q hundred years ago. They are in
flnitely nearer as TO prompt communica-
ton and closer IN point OF time as TO the
transportation of commodities. Just es
a hundred and forty years ago the thir-
teen states abandoned the theory OF iso-
lation. so we as q country must realize
that, commercially and economically, VIC
never can DC Isolated: that our pros
peritv is interviewer with the prosperity
Of our customers in Europe, and that, as
those customers are badly off, We must
do our best TO help them back to n posi-
tlon of restored and undiminished buy
ing power.
ITO this same end Il will undoubtedly
be necessary for the new Secretary OF
the Treasury to consider whether. for
the permanent interest OF the Treasury,
Il will eventually be wise to consider
some plan for br ging down to a man
ageable figure for foreign obligations
now owing to this Government. Great
Britain owes the United States Treasury
something like four and q half billions ;
France two and n half billions Italy
and other countries lesser amounts.
1--WE know perfectly well that tho
sums which Poland, Czecho- Sloval5ia.
Jugo-Slavia and perhaps other even
richer countries will be able TO pay In
liauidation Of their debts will for several
years to come be trfling. II anything at
all We know. furthermore, that this
debt as long as the bulk Of Il Is out
standing, remains as an incubus upon the
backs of these foreign peoples and that
the sooner they get on their feet tho
sooner they will again become good Gus
toners OF American exporters
The question. then. confronting the
Administration, will be tho same which
confronts rich creditor when his debtor,
John Smith. becomes embarrassed.
THE rich creditor. II he Is wise. Is apt.
In colloquial fashion. to say something
like this John Smith, who Is In the
hole. has always been a good and profit
able customer OF mine lie owes me a
hundred thousand dollars to-day. I
haven't any security for it II his other
creditors who are In like position with
me join me in cancelllng CO per cent Of
Smiths obligations that we hold. that
plan will put Smith In position where
he still has some capital 90 work with
he will get back on his feet again and
continue for all time as good Gus
toner OF mine"
Mr.. Lamont makes II plain that in
pointing out the possibility OF such ac-
tion he is In no way advocating can
collation. OF war debts. II Is merely an
indication, he says. OF the sort Of I'm
portant problem the new administration

Hurts Export Interests.

Expressing the belief that the failure
of the United States to participate in
the financial conferences set in motion
by the League of Nations covenant has
been unfortunate for our manufacturing
and export interests Mr.. Lamont de-
clares the new Administration must
make up It's mind-simply In America S
own selfish interests-to bring about
some form of conference and understand
ing as to conditions OF foreign trade"
Another phase of the same situation
is that of the reparation which Germany
must pay" the banker continues. In
the peace treaty. contrary TO the vote OF
the American delegation. IL was pro-
vided that the German indemnity should
be left for settlement TO a later period.
This postponement meant that Ger
nany's liability wa indefinite. II must
be obvious that until this liability is de-
termined. neither Germany. which is
obliged 10 pay the indemnity, nor France
and the other countries, which are to re-
ceive It, can adjust their Government
budgets and their economic life 10 the
situation as II exists.
"In the settlement of this matter OF
German reparation America should have
had, and ought 20 have. representation :

ropean complications. but simply because
our own commercial interests are so
largely involved iE reasonable and ef-

Germany must pay. We all know that
