Make Foreign Debtors Pay
Tn Without Undue Delay

which we would not WANT 10 10 W
any friendly nation. But W. can
make an estimate of what it is cost
ing these two nations to carry on
their illicit military and naval en-
terprises, in other words, what it
is costing them to maintain mill
taristic imperialistic policies which
are a direct threat to us. We can
make them abandon these enter
prises and pay their cost to us in
discharge of the debt.
Great Britain's navy costs her
nearly>a thousand million dollars a
year. If she reduced it to the size
of the American navy, and reduced
it as far as America is willing to
reduce hers, she could save about
what it costs for interest on her
indebtedness to us.
DR.. Addison, who has just re-
signed from the British Cabinet,
told the House of Commons the
other day that Great Britain was
spending over one hundred million
dollars year in Mesopotamia alone.
Now, Great Britain has no business
in Mesopotamia. She ought not to
be there, even if she had no debts.
Mesopotamia is only one OF the
parts of the world where Great
Britain is forcing her imperialism.
The abandonment Of these enter
prises, taken together with her re-
trenchment of her naval expendi
lures, would enable her in very
few years, to pay her debts.
What she could not pay by rea-
sonable retrenchment in the costs of
her imperialistic schemes, she could
pay by selling to us the West Indies
Islands, which annoy us by their
presence near our Panama Canal,
and are source of danger to us
in case of future trouble with Great
Britain. They are not of any value
to Great Britain except against us.
They are a part of the American
continent and ought not to belong
to England.
Let us, therefore, abandon the
idea of funding the debt and negoti-
ate with Great Britain and France
a settlement of their obligations
Immediately. We could give France
more time than we could give Great
Britain, because she needs more,
and her imperialistic schemes are so
expensive for her that she will soon
be obliged to abandon them, even
if we were foolish enough to con-
tinue to finance them by relieving
her of her obligations to pay what
she owes us.
The Washington times., 1921-08-13
q ENATOR BORAH objects to the

- proposed funding of the debt
owed us by Great Britain and
France, upon the ground:
First, that it would not help us
: to establish evidence of the debt,
and,
Second, that it would prevent us
from using the debt to compel Great
Britain and France to abandon their
imperialistic intrigues and oppres-
sions throughout the world, in which
they are able to indulge by main
tanning a costly armament, but
which they could not maintain if
they were obliged to pay their in
debtedness to us.
We entirely agree with Senator
Borah. But there are other reasons
quite as strong against the proposed
funding of the debt. To fund the
debt is to deprive us of being able
to call upon France and England
to pay the debt whenever we think
they ought to pay it. To fund this
debt would be to make England
and France long time debtor and
would reverse our relative positions.
The debt, when funded, instead of
giving us influence over our debtors,
would be very likely to give them
great deal of influence over us, be-
cause we would be in constant
danger of their repudiating or be-
coming unable to pay their debt.
This business Of one government
owing another government is anoma-
lous and ticklish business, and the
sooner we get out Of it the better.
It is another and more dangerous
form of entangling alliances. The
debt is there, it amounts to ten
thousand million dollars, which
means great deal to our prosper
ity. We want it paid. We, there
fore, want the nations to be able to
pay it. Hence this debt funded
would tie us indefinitely to the
chariot wheels of Great Britain and
France.
What we want to do is to get rid
of this debt as quickly as we can
get rid of it, and thus end our
special relations with Great Britain
&; and France, and leave us free to
decide the questions of the future
according to the circumstances of
the future, without dictation from
conditions Of past.
How can we get this debt paid i'm
mediatelyi Of course, we cannot
expect France and Great Britain to
pay the whole of it at once, without
absolutely crippling both nations,

County Estimates

The work of the committee on
counties of the present Legislature
of which Senator Roscoe G. Emery
of Washington is the chairman, has
found some interesting features in
the estimates sent in by the boards
of commissioners of the several
counties, of their expenditures for the
next two years. These estimates are
in effect the budgets" of the coun-
ties and set forth in detail the vari-
Gus amounts to be provided for by
taxation. in 1921 and 1922. Inasmuch
as these must be approved by the
Legislature. the committee on coun-
ties is expected to examine and test
them before passing them on for
legislative action.
1t is generally expected that all
taxes are to be no higher for the
next two years and in some cases
will be reduced. This is not going to
be the case with the county levies
for only one county, Kennebec, has
reduced it's budget for the coming
two years. Two other counties,
Penobscot and Lincoln, have retained
about the same figures as in 1919 and
for increases of from $4,000 to $27,-
900, York county bearing off the
palm for the latter record.
Recommendations in the causes for
these advances in the appropriations
are the bridge items, which are
necessitated under the State bridge
law. Stable sums are found here
among which the largest perhaps is
that of Washington county, with a
bridge appropriation Of $12,500, near
1y one-fifth Of it's total tax. A new
! item in all the budgets is the farm
bureau appropriation required by a
law passed at the last session of the
Legislature. This runs about the
same in all counties and figures about
$4,000 pen year. Salaries are lead
ing factor in boosting the totals. In
spite of lowering costs of every
thing, salaries have "riz" and are still
looking up"
Among the elements of advanced
costs are fuel, repairs, travelling ex-
penses for officials, and higher rates
l:for water, lights, telephone. station
cry, etc. 1t is an interesting fact to
notice that the cost of maintaining
boarders at the county jails has gone
tup, and this has been duly provided
for. Finally, most budgets have pru-
IDENTIFY maintained a substantial ap-
preparation for the enforcement of
(, the prohibitory liquor law.
The largest estimate is, as would
be excepted, that of Cumberland
county, which needs $239.461 to pay
its bills for a year. Next in order
comes Penobscot county with $780,
900. Androscoggin and Aroostook.
The smallest estimate is that Of
Waldo county, which uses only S24.-
$50 in a year. Franklin county with
s25.900 is not much more extravagant
and Piscataquis and Sagadahoc rank
next with $4,000 each.
1t has been the custom in times
past for the committee to approve
the estimates without Investigation,
but the present committee has al
ready done some work on them with
excellent results. When the report
| is brought in 1t will be backed by a
fairly accurate knowledge Of the
