H|BBEN, Of PR|NCET TON, WOULD
CANCEL PART. Of ALLIES DEBTS

! store this confidence and hope among
! ,ur former allies saould canoe, at least
u part oc this debt. There are many
economic reasons Tor this. Il does not
seem possible for the nation o: Europe

a nation afford 10 receive ;hIl pay

Industries at homo because OF the dead

Higher Considerations.
''T. however. do not wish - place this
matter before YOU upon its economic
basis hu; would appeal 70 higher con-
S.derat!oUS At least oNc-halt OF tN.S
Indebtedness was incurred by moneys
expended - thc yea" after we had de-
C!hed 70 enter the way and before We
were able 20 place an effective force
In the Yield. IN ;ha: year our allies
were holding the line FOR US against
common foe. The money which they
borrowed from us was expended in
clothing. food. ammunition. and all
the other material OF war. They were
fighting the battle for US. They have
already paid the debt covering that
period over and over again through
r.r - inI
the lvsses OF Great Britain. and France
alone were as follows: In tho year 1917.
Great Britain lost IN France alone
10000 men. THIS includes those who
were killed In battle and those who
died OF wounds o. from other causes,
In tho statistics OF the French losses
the numbers given include not only
deaths but also those taken prisoner or
lisa appeared. Altogether they amount
% 2i5.00O.
This IS The toll paid by the allies In
the year when We were IN preparation
- enter the war. II we exact further
payment In money We Will De demand
lag that the allies pay the debt they
owe use twice over. IL may be said
, by some that while this Is a generous
solution on our part OF some OF the d.t-
acu.t:es OF Europe, X - uot right that

Two Kinds Of Obligations.

Of obligations. There IS one due 10
