thorities believe the number is closer
to 10000. From the San Francisco
port in the year ending July, 1920, 1924
of these children were sent back to
Japan; last year 1878 sailed; and by
next July, it is estimated, the total
for the three years will be more than
$500. The children stay until they

Last November, the Canadian legisla
ture adopted a resolution unanimously
asking the Dominion government to
recall its "gentlemen's agreement with
Japan. This stand has been taken
because the agreement admitted 40(

help the countries of Europe in an
economic way; but is not disposed to
help the governments of Europe main
tain armies and otherwise spend mon
ey wastefully, or improperly.
In fact, already, in relation to one
request made by an European to an
American bank for a large loan, our
government has expressed a point of
view somewhat like the one here set
forth.
And it is merely in the matter of
these private loans, as well as
through the obligations due our gov
eminent, that we can exert economic
pressure on the governments of Eur
ope to get back to sound financial
methods.
There are other ways yet. AS / say,
if these conversations between our of
ficials and the officials of European
governments should become suffic
iently candid, our people can read a
pretty clear and direct lecture to the
governments of Europe on the subject
of maintaining large armies printing
paper money, failing to keep their ex
penses within their incomes and other
aspects of sound economics in the
conduct of government.
Likely Outcome.
All that l have said is hypothetical
obviously, but it is entirely possible
for the transactions to take this turn
In fact, it is difficult to imagine how
they can take any other turn, consid
ering the position that has been takeI
by our congress and the known anC
| obvious beliefs held by our people.
As to Italy, her case is different
Italy is in an even more difficult posi-
ton than France. Italy has les!
| money than France, and is in an ever
less strong position economically ant
| financially
Furthermore, Italy has no reliance OF
any such large future asset, whethe
doubtful or good, as Frances expecta
ton of reparations from Germany
Italy will probably tell us she can
pay anything now, and that she can
make any definite promise as to jus
what she can do in the future, or whel
she can do it.
Attitude Appeals
On the other hand, Italy has cor
Quoted herself in such way as to al
peal to the friendly disposition of he
debtors. l am told by competent at
thority that Italy, in spite of the ur
happy position in which the war lef
her. economically, has taken NOR
drastic steps and has made more prC
gress toward normal sound condition

debt commission can do, after holding
the conversations with the officials of
our debtor nations, is to report the re-
suit of those conversations back to
congress
To the bare, and sure to be disap-
pointing reports of the conversations,
our debt commission can, of course,
add recommendations of what, in their
judgment is the best course to pursue
in regard to each of the debtors.
What those recommendations may
be is thing too far in the future for
useful surmise.
Outside the debt commission, in the
senate, and in various unofficial quar-
tiers, quite few suggestions of vary
ing practicability have been made.
Senator France of Maryland has
suggested quite seriously and formally
that some of our European debtors
might turn over to us some of their
colonies. Senator France mentions
not only the colonies in the West In
dies and elsewhere in or near Amer
lea, but also Africa, as a financial
transaction this wouldn't have much
| obvious merit to America and Amer
lean public feeling in these last years
isn't as keen about colonial expansion
as some Americans once were.
Dubious About Colonies.
Certainly America would be dubious
! about taking over any colonies in
Africa or Asia as to the colonies OF
Great Britain and France in the West
Indies, and the two little French
| colonies near Newfoundland, namely
ST. Pierre and Miquelon, we might
feel differently
Adult them we might have much
| the same motive that led us to buy
the Virgin Islands in the West Indies
| from Denmark few years ago. One
suggestion, which can be taken hui
morously, or seriously as you happier
to feel about it, is that we should re
quest the turning over of these col
onies to us in order the better to pre-
vent attractions of our prohibition
laws.

Mr.. McClatchy. "The statement has
