rope No pressure has been exerted
for the payment of the war debt. No
request has even been made for in
terest payments. The French, for in
stance, do not include their war debt
to America in their list of published
liabilities, it was pointed out by one
member of the Cabinet here. The
French refer always to a political
debt to America due to the war" The
impression given is that in their
minds they have cancelled the debt.
Not a single proposal has been de-
Icided upon by the Harding Cabinet
looking toward European relief
through economic channels for while
business men may be shouting about
the necessity of some concrete plan of
stabilizing exchange, the viewpoint
of the government is that every plan
finally hinges upon two questions -
German reparations and the readi-
ness of European governments to re-
duce military and naval expenditures.
Something toward that end has been
accomplished at the Washington con-
ference but not enough. America has
tried her hand at the armament
question. Now let Europe try someth-
ing and propose it to America. That's
the official view. This country will
not be found adopting an obstruct-
ionist attitude but will listen to any
plan that really shows promise of
affOrding the whole world some re-
lief. There is no intention to use the
! war debt as a means of embarrassing
European credit. Not step has been
taken yet at which Europe could take
offense but if the nations across the
sea want their wealthy creditor on
this side of the Atlantic to help them
