Paying in Full

retary of the Treasury to discuss
MeXlco's foreign debt with the rep
resentatives of the European and
American holders of Mexican bonds
would seem to indicate that the Mex.
lean government has DOW aban
doned, if it ever entertained. anv
idea of adopting the convenient doc.
trlne of the Bolshevists that a revo-
luton cancels all pre- existing obi
cations.
With the thought of Reputation
dismissed, Mexico will center effort
on trying to scale down the foreign
owned debt, and many plausible
things will be said in favor of this.
But the weight of argument favors
payment in full of all duly evidenced
SPECIFIC obligations. This policy of
payment in full Alexander Hamilton
espoused and put through in this
country, quite as much for our
benefit as for the benefit of foreign
creditors. We can thus say moth
ing more is asked of Mexico than
this country itself did.
Hamilton in 1889 found large
foreign debt on which neither in
terest nor principal had been paid
for several years. He found mass
of internal debts, incurred by the
Congress and the individual states,
enormously deprecated in value.
Many urged the reputation of these
obligations. Others urged that thew
be scaled down. 1t was suggested
that the internal obligations should
be paid on a discriminatory basis,
each holder receiving what he act
ually paid for the certificates rather
than their par value.
Against these and other similar
proposals Hamilton stood out firm
ly. A debt was a debt, he held, and
should be paid in full. He rejected
discrimination as amounting to par
tial reputation. He insisted that
not only the foreign debt but also
internal obligations should be pro-
vided for according to the precise
terms of the contracts relating to
them. Against bitter opposition he
carried his program and succeeded
III establishing America credit on
a thoroughly sound basis. He rec
ognized that if America was to get
future credits from abroad she must
make good her outstanding obliga-
tons IN every particular. He also
saw that If the internal prosperity
of the country was to be assured
the credit Of the national govern
ment must not be weakened by the
adoption Of a policy of dishonoring
internal loans.
Mexico, it is true, has not the
same internal problems the United
States had in 1889. But the prin-
clples which moved Hamilton to
rigid inslstence on the complete rec
ognition and fulfillment of Amer
ica's obligations to foreign nations
apply to-day to Mexico's foreign
debt. 1t is difficult to see how any
policy other than one of complete
payment can make it possible for
Mexico to obtain in the future the
foreign capital which is essential to
her internal development

More Truth Than Poetry

An Outline of the History of New York

An Outline of the History of New Yorl
In days, alas! now long gone by
The lads in Backwood Fork
Would cast fond and wishful
At little old New York.
And when they had the cash to
spare
Their eastward way they'd take,
That they might find employment
there,
Their fortunes for to make.
They gathered wealth, and found
ed banks,
And managed vast hotels.
And soon were found among the
ranks
Of millionaires and swells.
They toiled from dawn till set of
sun,
With neither pause nor rest,
Until to-day the town is run
BY persons from the West.
But now the lads from Backwood
Fork
Who feel a burning thirst
To come to little old New York
Must make their fortunes first.
The town receives them with
smile
And welcomes them no end
With it's great heart-but only
while
Their cash holds out to spend.
The moral of this little tale,
Boiled down, is simply this:
If you are broke don't hit the
trail
To the metropolis.
Those Westerners who came to
town
And gathered in it's wealth
And, having got it, nailed it down
Did not come for their health!
