Are We Soft Hearted Or Just Plain
EOOISi

AT present we have a national debt
of $4,000, 100000. Ten billion of this
amount is represented in loans to
foreign governments. OF this we
loaned England $4,196, S78, 1854. Since
May Is, 1919, Great Britain hasn't
paid us cent of interest. She owes
us S200000,000 in accrued interest,
now due and payable. We (the peo-
ple) are paying " per cent interest
on that two hundred million Why
doesn't Great Britain pay? For the
fiscal year ending March 81, 1920, she
appropriated $765, 5S6,0S0 for her
navy, S1,968.30 200 for her army, ard
she was able to loan Argentina $780,
100000 to stimulate British trade, but
she couldn't afford to give Uncle Sam
the interest due him on his money
Its about time to wake up and try to
run this government like we would
our business. Why allow sentiment
to overpower common sense Eng
land charged us triple price for the
privilege of sleeping in their trans
port holds and eating their rotten
fish. We paid for the land we camped
on when we rested at the rest
camps in England. We paid war
rates for every ton of supplies they
transported across to us, supplies
which were bought at fabulous prices
and which were afterwards sold to
them at practically nothing. Senti-
ment? Then why not collect our just
dues?
