IL you say that at Paris the Eu-
ropean nations which had defeated
Germany. against American advice
and under British leadership, put
the total reparations at a figure at
least twice as high as was possi-
Bile, except perhaps theoretically.
This initiation had its origin in the
inclusion of military pensions, an
inclusion which alone allowed the
British to share largely in the sum
total and thus permitted George to
make good his election promises.
Easiest Solution.
The easiest solution of the result
ing trouble would have been to bring
about general cancella ton of allied
debts. with the United States as well
as Great Britain participating. This
would automatically have done AWAY
with nearly half of the sum of repara-
tons. France and Italy, freed of all
foreign obligation, would then have
been bound to listen to Anglo-Ameri-
can advice in the further reduction
of their claims. This solution was in
the back of the minds Of many for
elgn statesmen at Paris and was at
least heard by Americans.
When We quit Europe. however,
when. moreover. it became clear that
no cancellation was Immediately con-
ceivable, then the situation changed.
For at least two years the British
have continued to hope We would come
back and all Europe has hoped we
would cancel. Both hopes are seen
now to be unfounded and Europe has
nearly reached the point where it will
have have to act itself. Still last
course dispatches continue to report
British hopes that all can be con-
sidered at a new American conference.
which means that there still survives
some belief in our cancellation. The
alternative is British action single
handed. followed by an international
loan. Unless all signs fail this last
course is close at hand.

wide campaigns in the Old DomIn-
ion.
Former Governor westmoreland
Davis, candidate for Senator Swan

larger cities this week and this will
also take up his time next week.
Senator Swanson has kept off the
stump and Is trying to keep him
self in the eyes of the voters by
use of the mails. Both candidates
have let the newspapers alone.
UsunI Claims Made.
OF course, both candidates are
claiming everything in sight. Davis
headquarters claim everything hut
the Fifth and Ninth districts. The
former governor not only expects
a big rural vote hut is looking for
ma ajority in most of the cities. At
the same time the Swanson head
quarters assert that he will carry
ninety-eight counties and all of the
cities.
State Senator Harry f. Byrd.
State chairman and editor of the
Winchester Star. has livened up the
nght mite by asking Mr.. Davis IL
it is not true that he drew support
to himself in his primary fight for
the governorship on the assumption

not true that he is not a dry" can

honestly wet when he ran for gov

now, or is he honestly dry now
and politically wet then? Is he
wet or dry or both?"

months ago that prohibition would
not bob up in the Davis-Swanson
fight.
