Tne irresponsible light-heartodncss Of our
European debtors concerning their financial
obligations TO us--obligations incurred In an
hour and for purpose which at the time was
vital, is one OF the amazing phenomena of the
hour.
with tho exception OF England. there is no
disposition apparent TO take these obligations
seriously; in fact, Il has been made all too clear
that they are not considered honor obligations
at ALL while the alacriy with which every sug-
;gestlon TO avoid them Is embraced proves con-
cluslvely a debtor state OF mind which would be
accepted In private transactions as proving con-
cluslvely the unworthlness OF dobtor.
In view OF tho circumstances under which
these vast credits wero extended European ma
tons, ono would naturally expect that such In
debtedness would bo made preferred charge
against national income and resources II not
in gratitude for past services, then as bass for
future credits when again a great menace
threatened the national existence.
But such Is not tho case, II may be that
Europe will never again need seek the serv-
ices OF America either as banker or ally II
may be that Europe now feels like the crooked
borrower who. having realized his expectations
OF profit feels himself above tho need OF a
banker. aud who is immune 10 a sentiment OF
gratitude for what the banker in time OF actual
need meant to him.
Concerning this we may only hazard an opin-
ion. But II Europe ever does require or desire
the friendly offices OF this country again 1t Will
have a most difficult time In enlistIng either
moral or financial support
The statesmen OF France who are boldly pro-
claiming, not the inability Of France 10 pay
but its unwllingness to pay unless We turn our
market over TO French merchants and manu-
facturers ana thus force our own dependents to
pay for France. evinced not only the ultimate
in lngrautude, but likewise In financial I'M
morality.
