payments by Its citizens to Germans to
cease, proceeded to take over all Ger

THE LOGIC OF BORAH.

Again Senator Borah has said in
words about which there can be no
mistake the truth that the mere poll
ticiane are afraid to humble. Instead
of combining himself to saying about
the debt what the vote -snatchers think
the people think, he has had the
courage of the statesman who says
what the people confronted with the
real facts are certain ultimately TO ap-
prove. This is a rare quality at the
present time and entitled to high
tribute.
What makes the Borah statement
SO sound is that it Is based on fact
II avoids the economic illusion of the
McCumbers and Lodges who talk as II
the debts were wholly collectible. II
avoids the sentimental Illusion OF the
outright cancellationists who are ready
to write off the debts without assur-
ance that the act Will do any good
Borah takes the practical position thai
cancellation OF all or part OF the deb
can be considered only when ii Is PAID

The test of the return to sanity, h<

has insisted; is "a definite and speciht
