contributed toward arrival at this
conclusion.
! First was the feeling that inter,
national credit and especially debts
between nations have a certain de-
gree of sanction-I might say of
! sacredness"
| NO one can exaggerate the i'm
portance of credit to the modern
financial and industrial world" he
continued Credit bridges the chasm
between early and sometimes un-
promising beginnings and the de-
velopment of helpful enterprise. Can
ceilation or reputation of debts
would create not merely confusion
ana d1strust in the financial world,
i, but, which is quite as dangerous,
would seriously impair it's future de-
! velopment
No Discrimination,
The result would rest with especial
weight upon such d country as Eng
/ lana, where for centuries past Eng
ilsh currency and English obligations
have been the very SYNONYMS for sta
bliity and assured payment Common
FAIRNESS dictates that this record for
meeting her obligations should create
no discrimination to her disadvan-
/ tage."
| The second consideration was tha,
the amounts loaned to the foreign
countries by the United States were
provided by loans obtained from the
People and with no small degree of
difficulty. The advances were not
from an overfowing revenue, but
We're made possible by the action OF
| the United States in becoming a bor-
! rover alike with these debtors and

The burden of taxation in America,
ne declared. was quite as heavy. II
not heavier. than that in the Euro

| In case of cancellation of these
debts. he asked, what assurance is
there that the resources which other
wise would be applied upon the debt
payments might not be utilized for
the expansion of military and naval
cstabllshn ents and thus create an
ever-present threat of future conflict
and destruction.
Advances After War.
The third consideration he outlined
as follows:
"A very considerable fraction of the
advances made were after the actual
close of the war. and were for reha-
Dlltation and the creation of new
enterprises rather than for the prose-
cution of war in time of great emer-
gency.
1T must be said that at the time
| these loans We're made the legislation
authorizing them and popular expec-
tation both alike contemplated pay
ment. In the war itself the United
States was not subjected to the same
SURPRISING dangers as her allies, and
IN peace she sought no acquisition of
; territory. Large indemnities were not
expected by her.
Il cannot too strongly emphasize
1.-the fact that the only effective means
for payment of the debts and healing
of the economic life of the nations
| must depend upon progressing dis
armament and the maintenance of
peace.
Mr.. Burton lengthily explained the
traditional aloofness of the United
States from European affairs, which,
he said. explained the caution of the
American people in regard to enter

port in a movement for the esta blish-

The Perfect wife,
BX DOROTHY DIX
Woz4d's RiEhess Paid WOraan WrltsR.

I think that this perfect wife was
good manager. 1 think that she
brought all of the intelligence, and
energy she possessed to running her
end of the domestic partnership. ]
think she knew how to spend, and
how to save, and how to help her hus-
band accumulate the beginnings of
the fortune that he left when he died.
I think she had the courage to bear
her own burdens without whining,
and that she did not harass him with
complaints about her little worries
over the children, and servants, and
trades people.
And I am very sure that she never
took the last bit of heart and courage
out of her husband by complaining
because she couldn't have the things
that richer women had, or kept him
in debt by demanding luxuries they
could not afford.
think the Perfect Wife was an
understanding woman. I think that
sch realized how hard is the battle of
life for the man who must fight his
own way up in the world, and that
when he came home utterly exhausted
in body and too tired to talk, that she
did not accuse him of being grouchy.
nor consider herself iII-used because
he did not want to trot around with
her to parties.
I think she knew that when her
husband was sometimes peeVish, and
unreasonable, it was not because he
was unl1ind, but just because he was
going thdu some business strain that
had fretted his nerves to fiddle
strings. And I think that at such
times instead of standing upon her
dignity and rights as a wife, she just
mothered him. as she would have
done a half-sick child.
I think this Perfect Wife was a
woman who never argued. I think
she put a taboo on the subjects on
which she and her husband differed
and that she never dragged them out,
so as to have the fun of fighting over
them at the breakfast table. 1 think
she conceded to her husband the
privilege of having Ms own opinions.
as she had hers, and that she did not
enforce a petty tyranny over him by
trying to make him think as she
thought, and eat, and drink what she
liked, and live according to her little
schedule.
I think the Perfect Wife knew the
value of the soft answer that turns
away wrath. I think she stopped a
quarrel in its very beginning by say
ing some gentle and kindly thing that
the angry speech on her hus-
bands lips and made him ashamed
of himself. I think that she never
rake up his past mistakes, and thrash
ed over old straw out of which she
could only harvest bitterness.
I think she brought humor, and
good temper, and common sense to
the solving of all of the problems of
life. And that to these she
added a love and tenderness, that
made her the Perfect Wife.
