REGARDS BALFOUR
SCHEME TOCANCEL
DEBTS IMPOSSIBLE
Bernard NJ. Baruch Cites
Inconsistency in Let
ter to BOrah.

Cancellation of the allied debt
on the basis of the recent Balfour
note to the United tSates. is prac-
tically out of the question. in the
opinion of Bernard VI. Baruch,
economist and financier.
In a letter to Senator Borah
which was read to the Senate
yesterday Baruch set forth his
analysis Of the debt funding prob
lem and developed these two prop
ositions:
/. That the question of allied in
debtedness is bound up with the
reparation problem.
.. BY inference. scope of the
present debt commission should be
broadened to comprehend the ques-
tiOn Of reparations.
VIII Not Advance Plan.
While Eorah has no intention Of
advancing such a suggestion imme- =
diately. in presenting the Baruch
letter to the Senate. he called at
tention to the viewpoints expressed
therein and their possible applica-
tion to the debt funding problem
which Is expected to approach a
crisis this fall. Baruch, a member
of the American Economic Commits
sion to Versailles, and chairman OF
the War Industries Board, Is re-
Garded as possessing an accurate
conception of economic conditions
abroad.
Whatever may be the opinion IF
others. including myself. on the
subject. the American people as y
whole decided that the war was not
theirs Until we entered 1t: and the
international community of interest
and purpose must be viewed as
dating from our entrance into the
war. Then We must consider VIVA.
portion OF our advances was truly
g." "ommou detectives" Baruch
wrote.
In practically every instance
where purchases ~cre made in
England by us after we entered
the war. they were paid for in cash
and not by means OF loan by
England to America. Again. Amer
lea paid England for ferryi3g our
soldiers to Europe.
Not q Contribution
Surely. the expenditures should
not be considered contribution
by the English in a common causs
and should he set off against any
amount by which England proposes
her gross debt to US should be re-
duCed.
''If this subject is treated on the
basis suggested in the Balfour note
equity and Justice swould demand
that England. whose territory was
not devastated. should reliaquish
her claim against Germany for the
benefit of the devastated countries.
'Hlen We could count as a coatrI-
button to a common cause that
which was spent for munitions and
fighting purposes in this country
by England Rut England, besides
paying the balance due on the loan
should repay us, as a contribution
co the common cause. that which
we spent in her country for muni-
tio1s and for shipping"

BONUS AFTERMATH

The Senate has killed the attempt to carry the bonus over the veto of the President. Now there may be ex- pected to come from many sources, not all of them political, expressions of disgust that the soldiers, saiolrs and marines were not given what they de- served. Politicians have succeeded in so clouding the proceedings that few know whom to praise for their fight for the bonus, and whom to blame for it's failure-except as far as in- dividual cases go. And even In the case of individual support, where that sup port is shown by nothing but the vote, some people have even dared a ques- ton as to whether or not that vote in favor of the bonus represented honest endeavor to have it passed.
 Some people have even suggested, for instance, that party leader might have known that the bill would be defeated-might have been glad of that knowledge-and yet might have

GOLDEN SILENCE

There are times when the golden quality of silence is especially noticea- hle-silence on a certain matter, and loud, energetic talking on some sub feet as far removed as possible from that matter Some child may enter the room where company is assembled and immediately remark, with child's beautiful innocence, on the pretty color Of Mir. smiths nose. v Immediately members of the party be- gin to talk about the weather or the next Presidential election.
 And referring to elections brings to mind the fact that people are discuss ing politics in our city. Perhaps even now there has been placed on the state ticket worthy citizen of our city, to be a candidate for the high office of Secretary of State-or some thing else. And perhaps another worthy citizen of New Britain, who has a desire to be a candidate for Congress, sees his chances of receiv- ing that honor diminished by such ac- ton. Or perhaps the first referred to worthy citizen has not been placed on the state ticket and the second worthy citizen sees his chances of obtaining the nomination for Congress enhanc- ed. At any rate there has been consid- erahle planning, arguing and persuad- ing going on and certain results have come. The new member of the Dem ocratic state committee is man who, while having the same feeling toward former Mayor Halloran as that held by the retiring member, would be, perhaps. little more strenuous work CT for him than said former member would have been. Said former com miteeman is said to have admitted, reluctantly, that Mayor Paonessa would in all probability get the Dem ocratic nomination for Secretary of State-something that would not de- light former Mayor Halloran, if rumor is correct.
 Thus it seems that things look brighter for the present Mayor than for the former Mayor, and yet the former Mayor has defeated the pres- ent Mayor locally in recent political skirmishes.
 In view of this situation one is tempted to wonder what it has all amounted to and to see, with appre- ciative eyes that perhaps are a bit weary, the wondrous splendor of the brightness in that silence which is golden.

WOMEN LAY READERS

AS significant a sign of the times as has been noted is the action of the house of deputies in the Protestant Episcopal Church in approving the licensing of women as lay readers, The house of Bishops must act be- fore the action becomes effective.
 The significance of this step is seen even by those who approve thorough ly of it. It would seem that there Is absolutely nothing to cast the shadow of impropriety upon the decision. In a measure it gives recognition to woman's devotion to Christianity and good works. She has been a leader spiritually always; her courage in the face of discouragements and her per- severance have kept many Christian movement alive where they would have died. perhaps, under the prac- tical burdens men must bear often to the sighting of the spiritual side of iieH HNcs. lHuS the recognition OI that devotion seen in allowing her to take her place as an actual leader in the outward and visible signs of wor- ship represents justice, placing wom- an actually where she has long been spiritually.
 Since women are being given a new place in the world of business and affairs there would be a distinct one. sdedness to the progress that is be- ing made were her position in the world of the spirit to remain the same as in the past, The change must have been a difficult one to take in this church where tradition, old forms, old spirit have such a firm hold The fact that it will possibly be taken reflects an appreciation of the conditions of today that is wor- thy of commendation, if the laymen may be allowed to characterize the action of the governors of that church.

FORD AND PADEREWSKI

One might well wish that Henry Ford would take a lesson from Pad erewski; not lesson on the piano. for there is no desire to see or hear Mir. Ford extend his activities to this line of endeavor-he has done quite enough, thank you-but a lesson in appreciating his limitations. Pader- ewski, the great pianist, is mentioned again as the possible President of Po- land. It was not so very long ago that this wonderful artist, having de- voted himself unselfshly to the inter- ests of his country in its time of trouble and anxiety, retired from poli- tics and decided to leave manage ment of affairs in other hands, It is believed confidently that he saw he was not fitted, by nature, for the office at the head of that republic. No mat ter how great his patriotism, his de- sire to serve, he believed others pos 
 far greater degree than did he.
 One of the most splendid attributes recognize his limitations. A man who reaches the top of the ladder in any walk of life should know how far he falls short of perfection in other lines. Plain common sense should tell him. He knows what a master in his own line is; he should see when he fails to become a master in another line.
 Henry Ford seems to know no hu- mility; he seems to believe that be- cause he has become master at his business he is fitted to dictate to the world on all others. He would be czar and have his workers obey him, living exactly as he believes they should live whether they are at work orl his premises or enjoying the at mosphere of their homes. He is en- tirely within his rights, for instance, when he says men who work for him must not show the effects of having touched liquor. He would be within his rights to require them to wear certain uniform while working for him in his plants. But, entirely aside from the propriety of prohibition, he exceeds his rights when he tells them that they shall have no liquor f.. their homes whether that liquor came there

THE HOTEL MOVEMENT

Announcement of the names of the men who will be immediately interest ed in furthering the plan for the new hotel In New Britain brings added en- thusiasm, The names of the members of the hotel campaign executive com mittee, as published In The Herald of last evening. give general assurance that the enterprise will be launched under the best possible auspices. The need of New Britain for a modern, fine hotel being practically admitted. there was a keen desire on the part of the people of the city to see that men who would recognize just what sort of an hotel was needed and who would give their influence toward meeting that need, would take hold of the matter. This assurance Is now given by the publication of the names of these men. They knew the need here and they will undoubtedly refuse to besatisfed with an establishment that will not meet those needs. Thus far in the discussion and planning there has come no element to lend question as to its ultimate success, and for this all New Britain people-and incidentally all people who come ire quently to New Britain-are thank ful.
