y the controversy raging around
the question raised by the Earl
OF BaIfour's note regarding the
cancellation Of war debts there
appears to me to have been a curious
inability TO grasp the true inwardness
Of the situation. especially on the
Europern si1e.
1t has been left for Senator Borah
in statement made at Washington
20 hit the rail fairly and squarely on
the head. The Senator points out what
Is so eminenty true. that II is not
simply matter Of cancellation of debt
that Is In question; America, IL she
is to forego anything of what is owing
to her, wishes 10 be assured that the
money she Is giving UP is not likely to
form a fund out of which the crazy
game Of piling up arms is to begin all
over again, with war as its inevitable
sequel.
The people of the United States,
says Senator Borah, could never be
greatly interested in any proposition
for the cancellation of any part of the
debt due to her unless the proposition
Is accompanied by a definite under
taking for practical disarmament by
land and sea, and adds that to cancel
debts without such undertaking would
be simply TO encourage greater armies
and navies, more wars and more debts.
In other words, cancellation of debts
without guarantees would be tanta
mount to provoking new wars.
American Standpoint
One of Wise BenevoIence
So that instead OF charging America
with grasping selfishness and cal
lous indifference to the welfare of her
allies in Europe 1t would perhaps~be
as we'll if we readjusted our view of
the whole situation, and took stock Of
the position as 1t appears TO those who
think first of all of the future of the
world rather than OF the actual money
involved in our mutual debts. over
whelmingly large as they are.
For, after all. the outlook as 1t at
fects the possibility of war in the fu-
ture Is of infinitely more importance
than the ES50,000,000 Britain owes to
the United States or the 60. 400. 000.0 900

Britain. Senator Borah can see not
only that there is reluctance on the
part of European and Asiatic countries
to put into force the disarmament
agreements arrived at In Washington,
but that there is in his own country
still large section of people who
are by no means fully converted to
President Iarding's peace proposals.
Therefore he asks for guarantees be-
fore any step is taken toward the can
collation. of debts. and in this | am in
entire agreement with him.

Recommend Purchase
Motor Ladder Truck to
Gain "B" Insurance

Mayor Leon o. Tebbetts has for
some time been in communication
with the New England Insurance
Exchange relative to acquiring for
WatervIlle the necessary additions to
its fire fighting equipment to make it
a Glass B city. The engineers of the
Exchange have been here and gone
over the situation and the mayor
has received their report. They say
that providing the city adds to its
fire fighting equipment an additional
motor driven hook and ladder truck
with the necessary hose, ladders and
a Glass B rating.
BY obtaining this classification
the insurance rates on residential
property would be reduced from ST.
on thousand for five years to So. 60
and on furniture in dwellings from
would mean a saving to reside ntial
property owners of something over
$4,000 in insurance.
At meeting of the fire committee
held last evening, the matter was
considered and it was unanimously
voted to recommend to the city gov
eminent at the June meeting on next
Tuesday, that a committee be APP
pointed to look into the situation
relative to the purchase of a motor
driven hook and ladder truck, and
that the said committee be given
power to act. 1t felt that the finan-
ces of the city would allow the pur-
chase of the truck and this would
not only make a substantial reduc-
ton of insurance to owners of pro-
perty in town, but would also in
crease the efficiency of the fire de-
partment.
The matter of getting Waterville
into a Glass B rating, has been under
conside ration for at least six years.
A big step forward was the building
of new reservoir by the Kennebec
water district. giving six points to-
ward the desired end and the pur-
chase of the hook and ladder truck
will give two points to spare. Mayor
Tebbetts said that Augusta has re-
Gently bought the second motor
driven hook and ladder truck and by
that means passed into Glass 3.

The plan involves the erection of
large additional pulp mills at central
