Japan are the only important count
ries in the position of being creditors
solely, that Great Britain and France
are both creditors and debtors, and
that the remaining nations, especially
Russia and Germany, are in varying
degrees debtors.
Interest is being paid on some of
the lesser miscellaneous obligations
such as resulted from the sale of sur
plus materials to France and of silver
to England for the account of India,
and is also being paid on part of the
reparations debt, although the am
cunt is scarcely enough to cover the
cost of the armies of occupation. As
yet only Great Britain has taken
steps to pay any part of the interest
on the large loans, due this fall when
the present moratorium expires.
Reforms Distant.
While the debts exist on paper,
they are not 10Y an actual burden on
the debtors, the reparations debt ex-
cepted. Nevertheless, these debts re
present a heavy potential burden to
European nations; and, until the un-
certainty which this occasions is re-
moved, there is small encouragement
or prospect for governmental finan-
cial reforms on a far-reaching scale.
There have been frequent efforts
in Europe to reach agreements re-
garding some of the inter-government
debts, and the reparations debt act
ually has been funded into long-term
bonds. These negotiations however,
have not sufficiently recognized two
essentials; namely, the extent to
which the debtors can pay or the ere
ditors are willing to receive payments
in goods and services-which is the
only way payments can be transferr-
ed from one country to another, since
gold is not available in sufficient
| quantity to be of material usefulness
for this purpose. As a consequence,
the agreements made have not been
fruitful of concrete or beneficial re-
suits.
The Congress of the United States,
now about to enter into similar nego-
tiations with our debtors, has ap-
pointed a Debt Funding Commission,
but has limited the scope of action of
the Commission by laying down
terms of settlement in advance of
both investigation of the facts and
negotiation of a funding scheme.
"The Bond Burden"
The reparations problem has reach
ed its present troublesome position,
largely because of the vast %overhang-
ing burden of the inactive Series C
bonds, amounting to approximately
500, 600, 000, 900, which are held by the
R%eparations Commission awaiting a
time when Germany can pay interest
on them. The burden of the Series A
and B bonds, totaling approximately
$4,000, 600, 900, already issued and
subject to interest and amortization
charges, is quite within reasonable
estimates of Germany's ability to pay
although, owing to the present finan-
cial decentralization Of Germany, a
moratorium on cash payments has
been found necessary.
1t is the potential burden Of the
Series C bonds, similar to that of the
other great inter-governmental debts
which has encouraged the German

Europe. Europe has been waiting for
some sign of our willingness to deal
~leniently in the matter, and we have
been waiting for evidence of Europ-
can accord upon a reasonable and

and to initiate and ratify a policy on
our behalf, however, is vested in Con-

disposition on the part of Congress
to consider the remission Of these OBJ

necessity will accomplish more than
the statesmen can do. In the mean
while, the uncertainty will be fully
