Austria borrowed S24,055,IoS
wholly for emergency food relief
after the armistice. She has paid no
interest and $2,165,013 has accrued,
making the net debt, $26,22O,722.
The Smaller Loans
Greece borrowed $4,000 900; she
has repaid $1,159,153; accrued in
terest amounts to $4,000 and let
debt, $15,375,000. This money was
used largely by Greece to stabilize
her own currency. Much OF 1t was
retained in the United States on de-
post in gold, as a currency reserve
for Greek circulating notes.
Esthonia, another treaty country,
borrowed $~13,999,145 after the ar
mistic, She has paid no interest and
81, 0S9,625 has accrued, bringing
the net debt to SIG, 0SS,171. Ibis
was a food loan to a large extent
Armenia borrowed $11.959,917 for
food relief. She has paid no inter-
est and $1,677,356 has accrued bring
ing the debt to $~13,637,174.
Finland, a treaty country, former
ly part of Russia, borrowed $S,2S1,-
926 for rehabilitation. No interest
has been paid and $1,012,436 has
accrued bringing the net debt to
50 294.362.
Cuba borrowed ~s7,74O,5O during
the war to assist her military pre-
p%aredness. She has kept her interest
paid W to date.
Latvia, a treaty country. borrowed
S"5,132,2S7 for rehabilitation. She
hac paid S126,266 in interest nut
~$643,576 has accrued bringing the
net debt to $5,775,S64.
Lithuania is a debtor of the same
class who borrowed $4,9S1,628; has
paid no interest, although S147,244
has accrued. bringing the net debt
to $5,72S,S72.
Hungary borrowed $1,6S5,SS5 as
an emergency food loan after the
war. Interest to the extent of S202,
800 has accrued, one having baen
paid, so the net debt stands at ST.
SSS,135.
Nicaragua, another war ally, bor-
debt. for she has kept her interest
paid up. 1t is a curious fact that
cut of all the score of mighty nations
| which have borrowed from tre
United States. the relatively small
Latin American states of Cuba and
Nicaragua are the only ones which
have kept their interest paid up.
The least of our deptors is Ii
IBERIA. who borrowed S26 900. She
has paid 1861 in interest; $2,S6S has
| accrued, so the net debt is $2S,S6S.
Liberia was a war ally and this
money was used in part to assist her
in maintaining a wireless station use
full to the Allied cause.
The total lendings of the United
States amounted to the impressive
total of s1O,102.252,2O7. Total in
%terest paid thus far amounts to
$500, 002, 100; only about one-third
of what has accrued, which is ST.
422,699.662. The net debt to the
United States, therefore. is $11,524,-
951,S69.
The bulk of this money was lent
at 5 per cent interest and is payable
on demand. The Commission now
| tryinG to fund the debt is expected to
translate the demand obligations In
to term notes probably running over
half a century OF more.

Q. What was the matter with the
child labor law that the courts de-
cided it was unconstitutional? S. w.
A. The child labor law recently
held unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Court of the United States
was intended to prevent the employ
ment of children under the age of
fourteen in any mill. cannery, work.
shop, factory or manufacturing es-
adjustment and those under sixteen
years of age in mines or Quarries.
To accomplish this it placed a tax
of 10 per cent upon the net annual
profits of those employing children
as prescribed. The Supreme Court
held that this was a use of the tax
ing power of the government for a
purpoye entirely distinct from that
of raising revenue. for as Chief JUS
tice Taft said "a court must be
blind not to see that the so-called
tax is imposed to stop the employ
ment of children within the age
limits prescribed" Therefore the
court held it to be it's duty to decline
to recognize or enforce laws of con-
gress dealing with subjects not en-
trusted to congress but left by the
supreme law of the land to the con
troll of the states, even though it re-
quired the court to refuse to give
effect to legislation designed to pro-
mote the highest good.

An AH-ROund Success
CFrom the New York Tribune)

The Washington conference. now
nearing it's end, is necessarily oc-
,cupied with minor accommodations.
IT'S main work has been finished.
Pessimistic critics who have their
eyes fixed on disagreements over
particulars claim that the confer
ence has petered out. But this is
only another way Of saying that
much less dramatic interest has at
tached to the technical formulation
OF the conferences decisions than
attached to the emergence OF those
decisions and their acceptance in
principle"
The conference "is neither near
to death nor sick says Lord Lee Of
Fareham. one Of the British dele

with extraordinary success and is

cause Il has nearly completed It's

limit naval strength and to put an
end to competition in naval con-
struction. The second was to assure
concord in the Pacific. for without
a composition OF international rival
ries there no limitation of naval
armament was possible. China was
bone OF contention in the Far
East. Accordingly China's status as
nation. with many attributes OF
nationality suspended and many ma
tional assets in pawn, was brought
into the conference.
From the American point OF
view the British-Japanese alliance
was the greatest obstacle to a Pa
cifc adjustment. That alliance is
to be terminated. A four-power Pa
cifc treaty has been signed. A yer,
sweeping reduction Of naval strength
has been agreed to. Many practical
steps have been taken to free China
from alien control and intrusion and
TO restore Chinese sovereignty. Her,
