In their morning prayer all
good Christians daily ask for the
remission of their debts and prom
ise to do likewise by their debtors.
But as yet there is no talk Of
remission Of debts among the ma
tions. Each of them tries to grab
the biggest share Of the wreckage,
and every day that passes means a
larger collective loss.
The heavy paper chain becomes
every day more oppressive: riot

hutton Of buying capacity, crisis in

Are we still in time to remedy this
paper error. or. to be more pre-
else, this deadly paper delusion,
and to found, with all due precau-
tions, a general commission which
will enable the world to breathe
once more?
Statesmen are not always the
persons most fit to discuss these
problems. We have seen how
many unfounded facts and figures
they have induced the public to
believe with regard to the indem-
mites which Germany and the
other losing countries were able to
pay. The data given at the Paris
conference between 1918 and 1919
were so absurdly fantastic as to
constitute a wholesale poisoning Of
minds.

the vanQuished countries. who have
lost everything, and that Germany,
now poverty-stricken and disor-
ganized. should pay an indemnity
the yearly installments of which
would be many times greater than
the installnents of their own
could not pay without going bank
Eupt.
5. This situation has a direct
repercussion on all international
exchanges. Austria and Hungary
have fallen, and their currency is
practically valueless; the same
phenomenon has now extended to
Germany. The latter has now a
total currency of $4,000 zoo, 900 Of
worth tomorrow? With the COL
lapse of the mark. the German
market will have to isolate itself.
thus still further increasing the
crisis of the American markets
France has an avowed circulation
of 38.000,000,000 francs and Italy
Of nearly 100000 lire. They are
now both in a critical position, un-
able to pay their debts and with
their difficulties continually on the
= increase.
s. The same absurd situation is
noticeable in each of the great
countries of continental Europe
which have emerged from the war.
Italy has debt of about 100000
100000 life, France of 265. 5.000, ,000. 900
francs. Germany of more than
320.000.000.000 marks. 1t would be
idle to talk about the public debt
of countries already bankrupt. such
as Poland. or on the verge Of ruin,
such as Austria and Hungary. To
be creditors Of Poland is equiva-
lent to having a mortgage on the
clouds.
Z. In consequence Of the enor-
nous war debts, the citizens Of
each country have become heavy
creditors Of the state. The state
has solemnly bound itself during
the war not to reduce the interest
or the capital Of the war loans.
So far, SO good. But owing to
this very fact the public now owes
enormous sums to the state. as the
latter is obliged to constantly in
crease taxation in order to pay it's
debts.
An endless chain Of paper. like a
huge serpent, is coiled round the
e. world, slowly strangnng it.

The United States, which enjoys
the unique position of being ex-
clusively creditor and in no way
a debtor. appears to be convinced
that Great Britain, France, Italy,
etc. will eventually pay their
debts. Moreover, Great Britain.
which is isolating herself more and
more from continental Europe.
whose ruin she foresees, believes
that the debts contracted by
France. Italy and Belgium will
eventually be settled. France,

her debts to the United States and

So much for the methods of doing
business at the Washington confer
ence. 1t must be remembered, also.
that the delegations of the foreign
powers are constantly in touch by
cable with their home governments
seeking advice and instructions on
various questions that arise
The scheduled conferences with the
newspaper correspondents, at which
spokesmen for the delegations Of the
various powers meet the newspaper
men in a body. are. in a way, a
tribute to the American method of do
ing business. There are. as rule,
four or five Of these conferences every
afternoon. Most of them are held In
offices Of the delegations in the huge
Navy building, where each delegation
has been assigned quarters. This is
not true Of the conference with the
spokesman for the American deleSa
tion, which Is held in the State De-
partment.
Out Of them come some news and
not q little propaganda. On the whole,
however, these conferences are illum-
mating, from what Is not said, as well
rs from what the spokesmen say. Mr..
Hughes IL the spokesman. OF course,
for the American delegation.
II Is an unwritten law that any
