Taylor e. Groninger, city corporation
counsel, was much pleased with the action
Of the public service commission in deny
ing an increase in rates to the Citizens

said in part:
"The public service commission Of In

Suggestion to League
Of Nations by
Britisher.
REBUILD EUROPE
Step Toward Ultimate
Reduction of
Costs.
and Philadelphia. Public Ledger
Special to Indiana Daily Times
BY RICHARD SPILLANF.


PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-While the
diplomatists and economists gathered at
Genoa have been struggling with the Eu-
ropean problem and. apparently, getting
more involved, Britlsher with expert
nee in the World War. has laid before
the League OF Nations a novel plan for
the rehabilitation of the distressed con
tinent
Approaching the deep rooted prejudice
against reduction of armies, as imperil-
ing national security, he suggests each
nation retain It's present army, if it so de
sires, but reduce the cost Of maintenance
by putting troops at work, on projects
productive Of national wealth.
The traditions are all against soldiers
being employed ito work" he admits, but
the World War was an engineers war
and 50 per cent Of the time, Of the various
armies, was spent on engineering con
struction work. In the latter years OF
the struggle the crack regiments, even the
cavalry, proved they could work just as
well as they could fight The urgency for
winning the peace is as great now as
the winning of battles WAS in the wal
period.
HIGH SKILL
IS ANAILABEE.
In the engineering corps Of each army
there is high skill. This Is not utilized
in times or peace for human progress
and bettermeut. He suggests that the
League Of Nations utilize its international
finance corporation to enter into con
tracts with each OF the European states
to develop their resources such as rail-
ways canals. harbors. mines, forests,
hydro electric enterprises and various
dormant Industries, the finance corpora
tlon to issue bonds. secured or the va
rlous public works aud guaranteed by
the states. The army engineers and the
troops of the States should carry out the
work
1t should rest with the international
finance corporation to determine whether
any particular project was practical from
alton would have supervisory powers
engineers drawn from the best talent OF
Great Britain, France ana the United
states and other lanes.
The British gentleman would reward
troops through larger food allowances
than now they receive, together with
weekly cash bonus bnsed on their ablIi-
ty. But their greatest reward, he points
out. would be in fitting them for excel
lent jobs, when their service in the army
ended Some Of them he believes. would
get a technical training OF vast benefit.
At present their period Of army life. is
OF little value to them aside from discip-
linary training

FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS

Around the world resounds the cry
to cancel debts. In tones varying
from the plaintive to the belligerent,
the nations are demanding that the
obligations they owe be ended.
Russia says she can do nothing un-
til her debts are waived Germany's
industrial future, it is said by Ger
mans, is black with the clouds of in
IDENTITIES which the Versailles Treaty
imposed upon it. England, speaking
through the mouth of Earl Balfour,
demands the cancellation of debts.
France is astounded that the United
States fails to implore the privilege
of marking paid on the bills which
that imperial republic owes us.
"Forgive us our debts" pray and
demand the nations of the world, but
they somehow fail to add, "as we for
give our debtors"
The nations are correct in ascribing
their governmental ills to their debts.
Debts impose upon individuals and
countries alike financial and mental
depression, which dulls ambition, dis
courages enterprise, and halts prog
ress. Interest and usury are self-ris-
ing burdens.
Each nation desires to have its own
debts Written off. But it shows no
signs of writing off those owed to it.
The wise finaciers in the United States
reason that the opportunity for Amer
lean business in Europe would be i'm
measurably increased if the debt bur-
den were lifted from the governments
of those nations, which in turn could
then lift the taxation burden from the
struggling peoples. But those same
financiers make no suggestion of WHIP
ing clean the slate of war profits still
owed to them.
The United States owes the persons
who hold it's war obligations some
thing more than twenty billion dollars
The United States holds obligations
of foreign governments for something
less than half of that amount. How
willing the United States Government
would be to forgive the debts owed it,
| if by the same token the holders Of all
the United Staes bonds should stimuli
taneously send them to the Treasury
Department, marked paid! And how
willing, too, would be the majority Of
the Individual holders Of Liberty bonds
and other government obligations to
cancel them, if in turn their own sew
eral private debts were Cancelled.
! Public and private debts, the world
around, if it were possible toset them
off against each other would cancel
with comparatively little inequity. But
Lfor the United States to cancel sits
credits and retain its debts is so pal
4 nablv unfair that the wonder is any

would become industrial mistress Of
the Continent. Whether the people Of
France are militaristic or, otherwise,
the. actual course of events is steadily
in the direction of readiness to use her
military resources when the proper
time comes. In territory which is al
ready the scene of preparations and
may any day become the scene Of
movement it is not possible to enter
tain the confident attitude that things
will somehow work out, all right" He
says that it is the general consensus
of opinion among all financiers and
economists who have examined the
situation that not more than 30 per
cent of the amount named in the pro-
tocol can be collected by any German
government, and declares that if
France insists upon execution Of the
London protocol she must herself ap-
ply the compulsion.
In that event what will Great Brit
ain do? What will Italy and other
nations of Europe do? Great Britain
is utterly opposed to this policy. She
has gone along with France in the
hope that satisfactory settlement
could be made that would permit the
entente to continue. But now that
seems impossible. British interests,
and world interests, for that matter,
are centered on the restoration Of
Germany to normal conditions OF pro-
duction and consumption. The French
policy is the reverse. Can France be
permitted to carry out that policy?
There is on the one side strong con-
structive sentiment against it. There
is on the other side destructive sentl-
ment against it. Suppose France"
said Trotzky, in an interview at Mos
cow the other day, "brings military
pressure upon Germany. In that
event Poland can hardly remain pas
sive. If Poland acts against Germany
/ question whether we can remain
passive ourselves" He is apparently
pleased by the prospect, for he says:
"If France forces Germany into rev.
olution Russia and Germany togeth-
er will soon dominate the world"
That is a vainglorious boast, but it
indicates the danger from that direc-
ton, and it is, in fact, not improb-
able that military action by France
would drive Germany into the arms
of Bolshevism, unless Great Britain
and other nations took up arms to
prevent such a calamity.
at is WELL" says Mr.. Grasty in the
report from which we have already
quoted, "that the bald facts of this
situation should receive attention in
the United States, and that America
should understand that Europe is on
the verge of a new exploit in force
from economic ENHANCEMENT and in
volvement in which no policy of aloof-
ness can save America" Globe Dem
