GERMANY, ON VERGE OF CRASH
j. r. Burrow Says Germans Cannot
Pay War Debts for rs Years.

| Germany today is on the verge OF
| the greatest economic crash which has
ever been suffered by - nation in mod
ern times" ]. p. Burrow, Jr., vice
president and treasurer OF the Central
Trust company, said Sunday night in
a talk before the Unitarian Laymen's
/ league at the Unitarian church. Ger
many will be unable to pay her war
PREPARATIONS for nearly twenty-five
years. There are only four ways by
which war PREPARATIONS may be paid:
by gold shipment, by securities, by
services rendered and by goods ex-
ported. Germany has not the facili-
ties to make good the PREPARATIONS in
any of these ways"
Mr.. Burrow said that the world was
better organized five minutes before
the armistice was signed than it had
been at any time previously. The al
lied nations were perfectly organized
and the central powers were organ
lied to combat them.
In regard to the advance of civilian
ton, he said, Civilization, it seems to
me, is that degree of refinement to
which man has risen since savagery.
The United States is today on the
frontier of civilization. The center of
civilization is in Europe, in such cities
as Paris and Brussels
Mr.. Burrow does not believe that
any European countries which were
engaged In the world war Will be able
to pay their debts for several years.
England made one payment on the
interest due on its loan from the
United States and since that time no
money ha- been received" he said.
France now has armed guards on the
border of Germany attempting to col
lect reparations, but it is an impossi-
bility for Germany to pay them for
many years. The present generation
will not believe that Germany cannot
pay and it will be another generation
before the French will realize what
Germany is able to do.
There are more people in Europe
today than there were before the war
was declared. The natural increase in
population having made up for the
deaths due to war.
THE present system of states in
Europe must be changed before eco
and this change will undoubtedly be
made at the expense of war and blood
shed"
In an open forum discussion follow
ing Mr.. Burrows talk, T. A. McNeaI,
president Of the Laymen's lea que de
clared that he though the solution of
the present economic situation was the
cancellation of all war debts of All
countries of the world and the can
collation. of all worthless paper money.
After this has been done, information |
al currency should be issued, which |
would be honored in all countries of
the world.
Several persons in commenting on /
Mr. McNeaFs statement declared that /
honor by nations and those who 1
bought the bones did so with the be-
lief that the government would carry /
out its promise of payment.

FAVORS A MERCER.
Senator Fisher for Union of p.
U. C.-and Industrial Court.
Would Let Supreme Court Select
Members of Tribunal.

Declaring his opposition to the in
dustrial court and the public utilities
commission as they are now consti-
tuted, State Senator Hugh T. Fisher
today told the Monday Lunch club. of
which he was a guest, that he believes
the two bodies should aga n be merged
or rather abolished. and replaced by
a tribunal which would exercise the
functions of both. and would be re-
moved from political influence as far
as possible. thru the appointing
Fisher advocated the selection of
the members of the new tribunal thru
the recommendation of the justices Of
the state supreme court, then ap-
pointment by the governor. the ap-
pOintments of the governor to be con-
1irmed by the senate as is now the
case.
SearIe for Fishers Plan.
Representative c. II. Searle, also the
guest of the Monday Lunch club. fol-
lowed Fisher. and agreed with him on
the necessity of taking the industrial
court out of state politics, merging il
again with the public utilities commits
sion and supplying a new system of
making the appointments to the
tribunal.
Searle. however. would have the
justices OF the supreme court make the
actual appointments to the tribunal,
regardless of the governor. leaving
him with no power to make appoint
ments to the court.
VIII Take Much Time.
ct believe that the industrial court
has demonstrated the correctness of
the principle on which it is based, but
1t has become a political football, and
the whole thing has been messed up
Tor that reason" Fisher said in dis
GUESSING the proposition after the meet
inS.
Il don't believe that this session of
the legislature viii be able to COM
pletely map out plan for this tri-
buntL That is a matter which VIII
take much time and experimenting
but L do believe that on the principle
which has been adopted, future legis-
latures Will be able to work out a
scheme which viii supply the demand
for an industrial tribunal which Will
be a real tribunal, and which will not
cost the taxpayers an unreasonable /
sum OF money"

meeting of the luncheon club. at

CHURCH MUST AID STUDENTS
DR.. James Thomas, of Denver, Speaks
at Washburn College.

'The church must meet the college
student and put forward a program
which will demand his respect" said
DIR. James Thomas, of Denver, in a
talk to the students of Washburn col
Iege this morning in chapel.
TOO many students find when they
go to college that their old concep-
lions of religion do not come up to
what they learn there, and as a re-
suit, they lose their religion alto
gether," he said. 1.-The real leader
ship of the church must come from
the intelligent, thinking college stu
dents in the future, and that is why
I urge G church program which
should be so broad and comprehensive
that it should challenge the young
people, even before they enter college
Then with the right kind of back
ground they would not have such
hard time in reconciling Die old be-
liefs and the new.
I'VE need a preaching ministry that
knows what the word of God meant
when it was written, and its appiica-
ton today" r,fF f..s.lf... .-
He said that he liked to think of
the church as a business institution.
The minister must be salesman, who
sells the gospel, a thing much harder
than selling automobiles or other
commodities because religion is so in
tangible.
when I first started. I used 10 be
a fire insurance agent" he said
Now I am a life insurance agent"
He was enthusiastic over the COM
house as a project for the
churches to take up. He cited the one
in Denver, which is one of the great
factors in city life there, and with the
founding of'which he had considerable
to do.
What right have the ministers TO
say to the youth of the towns You
must not go to this place or the other
because the influences there are not
good unless they put up n counter
attraction which will lead the young
people away from the places a" he
asked. The community house would
act as the counter attraction, he sad.
The Rev. Thomas concluded with a
plea that the students should stand by
VINO was trying to spon-
sOr progressive movements, since they
are what each town needs in its daily
life.
Doctor Thomas spoke to the WASH
burn students this afternoon in the
YIN. G. A. room.
