Helping Europe.

WIHETHER the continent of Europe, for
w several years engaged in wild orgy of
spending should be given the severe treatment
melted out to alcoholics in public institutions or
whether the more careful and charitable regime
of private hospital is indicated, has been moot
question since it became apparent that the
achievement OF military victory was but the first
step toward the daylight.
In the past year it has become strongly evident
to unprejudiced economists, however, that the less
drastic method must necessarily be employed for
the good of all nations concerned. In other words
Europe cannot be told to go hang" but must be
helped to her feet OF the many schemes devised
TO put such Samartanism into effect that of Benjs-
min NJ. Anderson, economist of the Chase National
Bank, New York, of the very best
He suggests that the governments of Great
Britain and the United States contract to cancel
debts due from allies the Continent and that
American, British and Japanese bankers do their
best to place among investors large blocks of
continental securities in order that funds for re-
construction may be secured
These undertakings" says Mr.. Anderson,
should be made contingent upon and conditioned
on, the following considerations, without which
they would do harm rather than good:
"The continent of Europe undertakes to ac-
complish the financial and currency reforms indi-
German indemnity question and introduces the
proper degree of freedom of trade
THE lenders of the funds retain supervi-
sion over the spending of the funds, to make sure
that they are used for essential purposes only
The necessity of this last provision is emphasized
when we reflect that Europe has already had from
the United States, since the armstice, much more
than enough money to have accomplished her re-
Mobilization had it been effectively used.
Control over the expenditures of the new
funds does not mean that they should be spent
only in the country which lends them The
borrowers should be free to buy in the cheapest
market, wherever that market is. 1t is world re-
vival that we are aiming at Narrow and selfish
natonalistic purposes must be vigorously frowned
upon. The control should merely make sure that
the funds are really used for Europes rehabilitation
No proposal is here made of cancellation of
the British governments debt to the United States
Treasury. With the world revival which should
come from the carrying out of this comprehensive

George S. Johnson on Peace.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
When peace is power, the earth will be
A paradise of golden dreams,
With less distrust and jealousy
And more success OF simple schemes.
War Is, alas. a fiendish curse.
Which haunts and mars life's happy
scenes:
True progress Of the universe
Can come alone through sober means
Were wealth gone waste on waSing
war
Expended in pursuit Of peace.
Half OF the Ills which all deplore
Would vanish and forever cease.

A Contingent Bonus.

CONTlNGENT promises of payment popu-
~ lar neither with boys with men. If
Tom Dick nickel and informs him he will
pay as soon he (Tom) has collected the nickel
Harry owes him, much unpleasantness is liable to
ensue. The same thing applies when the amounts
are larger and the parties older. Carrying the
thing to the nth power, the Ohio State Journal
observes that linking the plan of adjusted COM
pensation for former service with the foreign
debt that Congress hopes to have refunded looks
like risky venture for supporters of the plan.
To put them together, goes on the Ohio State
Journal might mean very prolonged delay in
the payment of the compensation after it has been
voted by Congress. The plan looks like an agree
ment to pay, if, and when the foreign nations
able to discharge their debts, when the indica
tons are that payment cannot be made, cannot be
expected, at any early date With this knowledge
open to the world if the soldier compensation is
attached to the refunding plan, it would be
promise but not a payment. Indications point
clearly to the fact that great delay would fol-
low before sufficient funds would come in to meet
The adjusted compensation, and the delay would
appear to be dangerous political matter.
Reminding of the foreign debt is under discus
sion 1t involves transactions with various nations,
the largest and most complicated bit of financing
the world has At the very best it would
seem to require many months Of negotiations, pos
sibly some years. There is no reason to expect
quick agreement, nor is there any indication Of
quick payment. Prudence calls for slow progress
IN this important matter, because of its very i'm
nnensty and its effect the economic condition
of the world. From the time Lloyd George made
the suggestion that nations might choose cancel
their debts with another, that idea has been in
the minds of all foreign nations. That it will be
put squarely before this country is indicated. 1t
will be refused promptly by this country, and that
refusal may make for prolonged delay in final ad-
justment If Congress passes the soldier compen-
sation measure, which calls for billions, and
leaves payment to be made if, as and when inter-
