The Times is surely mistaken about
American feeling being unfavorable to
any discussion of the question of the
Indebtedness of tile allies" We are very
anxious to discuss that question and
find out how soon The allies will pay or

This country is not going to be nara
creditor. 1t is willing to give the allies
a long time in which to pay. but it is
not willing to cancel the obligations.
That would be a very bad pecedent to
establish, to say nothing of the unne-

the taxpayers of the United States. Our
associates in the war had more Mt stake
than we did and there is no reason why
the heavier burden should not fall up

is question whether or not their fl
