Is 1t Only a Lurtdn-Rdiser?
(From the washlngton Post. }

1t is difficult to believe that the
British play which so obviously aims
at shifting the burden of debt can
collation. to Americas shoulders has
been staged as an Independent dipIo=
matte production with all its unities
complete. While it is unquesti ona bly,
an effort to induce America TO as
sumo ultimate loss in readjustment

advantage, 1t leaves the way open
for modification of the unrelenting
policy expressed that Is signiflcan mt
Interpreted literally the lines of this
play as expressed in the note ad-
dressed by the London government
TO debtor nations clearly set forth
the purpose of Great Britain as
creditor to hold It's obligees to the
letter of the bonds. To this extent.
the British communication is to be
listed as a move tending to block
Europe's economic stabilization-for
hope of such stabllization largely de-
pends on compromise between
France and Great Britain with re-
spect to the formers reparation
claims against Germany and the lat
ter's claims as a creditor. The ar

cut both ways. II the British govern

which would manifestly result to the |
benefit OF British interests, unless
Great Britain agrees to reduce its
claims against that country. In
taking this stand, the London gov
arnment invites France to stiffen its
position against reduction of the in
lemnity terms now crushing Ger
many.

Reparution C1oture
(From the New York Tribune).

Is there not some way to apply
cloture, or to move the previous
question, or some other parliament
airy device for bringing the ever
lasting discussion of the reparation
question to an end?
For three years a circling debate
has gone on. Though there is much
movement OF lips and pens, there is
little progress toward settlement.
1t is no clearer now than in 1919
that France may properly ask, up
to Germany's ability to pay, COM
pensation for the actual damage
done to her. At the peace confer
ences the Baruch estimate, support
ed by our delegation when Lloyd
George loudly said Germany should
and could pay more, was that Ger
many had ability to pay $4,000, 600.
This estimate did not differ much
from the original Keynes estimate.

| sion. And this in spite of the mega
tive policy expressed in the Balfoui
communication. For the British gov
ernment must know that it cannot
obtain Frances asset TO indemnity
reduction without concessions that
will be acceptable to that nation as
fair consideration for surrender Of its
claims against Germany. And the
only concessions that now seem feas-
ible relate to Frances Indebtedness
TO Great Britain.
If the British government Is not
prepared TO make substantial con-
cessions on this score, next weeks
meeting OF the Premlers promises to
be barren OF results. The note TO
debtor nations may mean that such
concessions Will be hedged about
with qualifications and conditions
thas aim at placing the ultimate
blame for keeping interallied debts
alive at Americas door, but II does
not necessarily mean that Great Bri-
tain will not offer cancellation, or
what virtually amounts to cancella-
ton. OF at least a portion of Frances
Indebtedness as consideration for that
nations agreement to modification
of reparation terms. Present indi-
cations are that Great Britain Will
make a proffer along this line.
Although the note does not con-
clusively shut out possibility OF
compromise reparation settlement
based on debt cancellation, 1t con-
clusively establishes the shifting pol
icy of the British government with
respect to America and interallIed
debts. The Balfour note unmistak-
ably aims at building up case IN
the minds of debtor nation against
America as the stern and unrelent-
ing creditor that refuses TO join with
Great Britain in tightening the bur
dens of Europe. The unfairness OF
such a play is manifest. Instead OF
furthering cancellation OF the Anglo
American loan. II works against II.
For it tends to stir up and crystalline

Wife IS LIKE
ANEW WOMAN
Wilmington Man Says Wife
Was Weak, Nervous and
All Run Down
SAYS PLANT JUICE
RESTORED HEALTH

my wife and are very grateful
TO Plant Juice for restoring health
and happiness to our home" said
Mr.. William F. Weyl Of 1903 Chest
nut street, well known Wilmington
citizen, in a recent interview with
the Plant Juice man.
Your Plant Juice has proved 10
me that II is worth all the good
things that have been said about it.
My wife was weak and nervous and
all run down. She had to be very
careful about what she ate or she
would suffer from indigestion. Her
food would ferment and form gas
and then she would bloat and com
plain of pains in her chest and body
and cramps in her stomach. For
several years she had been this way
and had suffered all the misery that
goes with a bad stomach. She had
always been constipated and took
physics continually.
Since my wife has taken Plant
Juice all this trouble Is gone and we
give Plant Juice credit for her re-
covery. She looks like a different
woman now and says she feels fine.
Her bowels are regular. She has a
better appetite; nerves are stronger
and she sleeps well. We cannot say
enough for Plant Juice after the
splendid results It brought my wife"
Any one of the following symp-
toms may denote deranged condi-
tion OF the stomach. which possibly
has already reached an advanced
stage: Indigestion, dyspepsia. bad
breath, sick throbbing headaches.
poor circulation, night sweats. cos
tiveness. a coated tongue. poor com
plexion. It is in the relief OF these
and the many other symp-
toms Of stomach trouble, that Plant
Juice has proved so successful.

Some OF our newspaper friends,
along with public officials that SEEM
ed 10 think at one time the seniority
question in the railroad strike was
OF no consequence at all as a prac-
teal matter, are waking up at last
to the fact that 1t is of the very
greatest Importance in respect of its
material as well as Its moral aspect
II is incomprehensible how they ever
could have been so far wrong re-
garding this as they were. The COM
mon sense test OF the weight of this
question from first TO last was the
attitude of the strikers themselves
regarding 1t.
If the seniority difference did not
really amount TO anything from the
practical point OF view why did the
strikers themselves make il the SUI
preme issue over which TO fight 20
the last ditch? They knew what it
meant. They knew the strikers
places had been filling up fast. They
knew only 80 10 40 per cent of the
jobs were left and in a few days
hardly any of them would be left
vacant. And they knew IL the strik-
ers went back hundreds of thou
sands of somebody would have to go.
But IL the strikers went back ito
their former positions with Their
seniority and other rights unim-
paired" 1t would not be the strikers
who would be out Of jobs. 1t would
be the men who had kept the roads
running in the teeth of the struggles
of the strikers to tie up the roads.
All the strikers knew that. All the |
men on the jobs keeping the roads |
running knew It. The public officials /
