The allied debt commission, has
declared against the suggested can
collation. by this country of any part
of the war debt contracted by our al
lies in the World war. Representa-
tive Burton of the commission voiced
the opinion of all in the following
statement:
There are many reasons why the
allied debt should not be cancelled.
First, they are binding obligations, a
national debt, and their cancellation
would throw doubt on national credit
which is an important part of COM
merciai and industrial relations.
Second. these loans were not made
from an Astounding revenue, but We're
obtained by borrowing from our people
with no small difficulty and with a
great deal of sacrifice. There was no
thought at the time that they would
not be repaid and indeed the law under
which our people took our bonds pro-
yided for their exchange in kind.
Third, the United States is sincerely
Interested in world peace, If these
debts were cancelled it would lead to
an expansion of the military and naval
establishments of other countries and
thereby bring a threat of war and all
the waste 1t entails.
Fourth proportonately, the in
crease in the debt of the United States
as result of the war is greater than
of the borrowers. The increase in
taxation also is proportionately
greater
Further. while we recognize the
wonderful sacrifices made by the al
lies during the war, their danger was
more imminent and we have gained nc
territory and are not expecting any
large indemnities The general feeling
abroad is that these debts ought to be
paid"
MIR. Burton also declared against
any further national loans abroad
adding that private credit for Ameri
can raw material might and shoult
be arranged, but that the United
States treasury should not be called
upon again, to aid any foreign coun
try except possibly for human relief

Ancient Yueatan Relics.

At Chichen-itza, in Yucatan, where
there Is sacred sinking we'll, all
sorts of beautiful sacrifices have been
found embedded in the mud. Jade
necklaces, gold plates and small jars
heavily studded with jade, sometimes
containing human hearts,, have been
found In this well, says the Detroit
News. The Maya Indians made these
sacrifices when they wanted rain or
a blessing for their crops. Beautiful
gold knives that were undoubtedly
used to carve up the victims Of sac
rifice, usually young women, have also
been found. The Maya Indians Of
northern Yuoatan probably use the
same language as the builders Of the
ruins among which they live, says
Prof. A. M. TNzer, Of Harvard uni
versity.
