LAURENS. :. G., NOV. 5. 1922


About year ago Robert a. Cooper,
then governor OF the state. in a pub
lie speech at Spartanburs declared
that the wisdom of the cancellation
Oi the allied war debts was at least
subject that would be of fruitful
discussion. He brought down upon
himself 4 storm of criticism and sue
ce"dcd in reducing his popularity TO a
considerable degree, even though he
had recommended only 4 serious con-
Sideration Of the question. The Ad-
vertiser, as we recall, was the only
newspaper in the state to express any
sympathy for thu chen governors
views
The suggestion had been made by
eminent authorities in finance before
Coy. Cooper made his speech The
same views have been expressed many
times by notable men since then The
view that these men take is not that the
debts should be cancelled from char
liable reasons, but because in the long
run the United States would profit
more by their cancellation than it
would by an insistance on their pay
ment. They contend that there is
more to be gained by a return to nor
nal conditions in international financ
cs than there would be in prolonging
the present agony of depression by in
sisting on collecting the debts owed
us
1t is safe to say that there are no
other things contributing so much now
TO world depression as the debts hang
ing over the European countries, the
interest charges they have to meet and
the heavy expenditures they are still
making for armaments. In discus
sion Of cancellation of debts would
naturally come the question of dis
armament Of European countries.
Should the weight of debt be removed
and the cost Of military establish
ments wiped out, there Is no question
but that trade conditions would re-
turn TO such a volume that this
No less an authority than The Sat
urday Evening Post has recently ex-
pressed these views. Like the main
question itself, its views are we'll
worth considering and we print them
in part as follows:
The two most perilous international
emDarrassments OF the present day
are the SrotesQue size Of the war debts
and indemnities, and the grotesque
cost Of the military and naval estab-
llshments which nations once rich but
now impoverished are compelled by
Stheir fears or by their governments to
H1afntain. If all ornaments, war
debts and indemnitics could lNo sim
-+ultaneously reduced by international
agreement credit would no doubt re-
Vive, trade would improve, and both
the United States and Great Britain
might gain far more in real wealth
than they would lose by paper sacri-
ices. But downward revision of
legal debts and legal indemnites can
not be justified if the rcmissions made
by one country to another are to be
used by that other country for the
maintenance or extension of arma-
ments. If Wiping the slate would wipe
out the probability Of future wars il
would be cheap at the price Yet. even
though conclusion cannot be reached
at present, there is everything 10 be
said for public discussion. 1t is a
healthy sign that the press is tecming
with controvcrsialt letters on the sub
Ject of war debts and indemnitics.
