REAL PROBLEM
FOR CONGRESS
Cancellation or Scaling of
Debts of European Coun-
tries to Come Up
BY GEORGE III. MANNING
(Washington Correspondent of the
Perth AmhoY Evening NeWsl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10:-When
congress comes back for the session
commencing in December it will
find that the vexing question of can
collation., or at least the scaling of
the debts of the European countries
to the United States has attained
paramount importance in the inter-
val since adjournment ii September,
and that a. powerful propaganda is
at work to bring about leniency TO
Americas national debtors.
Members of congress who are still
here read in the action of the Amer
ican Bankers Association at New
York a few days ago in endorsing
cancellation of the war debts, the
beginning of a drive against con-
wide in scope and directed by the
most astute minds in every commu-
nifty.
How far the propagandists get
depends on how much backbone in
dividual congressman develop in the
face of pressure from quarters usu-
ally powerful in impressing their
will upon others.
At present congress is on record
rs emphatically opposed to cancel
lation or remission in part even of
these debts growing of the war, and
in this attitude has the unqualified
back of the administration. The
Opposition to cancelling the war
debts is not by any means confined
10 the Republican majority; most
Of the Democrats take the same
position. So the lobby will have nc
basy task on its hands.
Such an amazing change of heart

year, when similar proposals met
with impatient dismissal, that mem
bers of congress and the general
public has commenced to suspicion
some Interior motive back of 1t.
1t has been charged repeatedly by
speakers on the floor of the senate
and House that bankers are selfish
ly concerned, in that elimination of
the debts owed by the European
countries to the American govern
ment would wonderfully enhance the
prospect of collection of foreign
loans carried by private institutions
and individuals in America. Foreign
bonds and notes of non-government-
al character would enhance in value
overnight to the extent of millions.
Millions of dollars forth Of foreign
paper now worthless would have a
value Immediately upon the cancel
lation of the United States debt.
Upon their return home from the
New York convention, it was agreed,
the bankers will begin the education
of their customers and fellow citi-
nj The argument will be the ia
miliar declaration and that Europe
cannot pay anyhow; that we want
to do business with her on the basis
of a clean slate, with the inter-allied
debt dismissed from mind. 1t will be
urged hat we need the trade with
the European countries, but hat we
cannot get it unless we boost their
finances by cancelling their debts to
US.
1t is not a part of the program to !
relieve Great Britain of the five bill
lion debt she owes the United States.
The argument will be hat the other
countries in the alliance against the
Central Powers to whom we loaned
another four or f..e billions are ut
terly unable to pay.
In view of the deliberate state
of Reginald McKenna, former
ly chancellor of the British ex-
chequer, in his addres to the bank
ers, that England was able and will
ing to pay America there can be no
question hereafter as to our attitude
our largest creditor. Eng
must pay. Thomas W. Lamont,
J. P. Morgan & Co., the day be-
fore, said in his address that he was
''of the need of stabilizing
Europe" which he skillfully led his
audience to believe depended upon
of the inter-allied debt.
He did not say in terms that the
debts should be cancelled, but the
plain implication was that remission
n part was the only solution. 1t is
regarded as significant that the mes
sage of President Harding to the
bankers, read by President Nc

Adams of the association, made not
the faintest allusion to the subject
| of the inter-allied debt. 1t is true
that the letter was written before the
disclosure of the changed attitude OF
the bankers towards the problem, as
! contrasted with their attitude of the
previous year.. Nevertheless, a the
President desired to indicate any
changed attitude on the part of the
administration a way might have
been found.
Congress, it appears from its
record thus far, will stick to Its
position. At most congress might
agree to postponement of payment
for a more or less indefinite terms
of years.
Europe borrowed money from us;
Europe caused us to spend in addt-
ton nearly thirty billions to save
her besides sacrificing thousands OF
our young men, and Europe should
pay. The American people paid o
their war while the war was going
on by buying Liberty and Victory
bonds unit, it hurt" and should
not be called upon to pay the war
cost over again which would have
to be done to pay off the Victory
bonds If Europe does not supply
the cash. While America was BAY
ing very heavy taxes to pay for the
war while it was going on, the Euro
pean nations. for the most part did
not greatly advance taxation, but
paid for their war with paper which
they are now taxed to redeem. II
they had paid for their war while
it was going on they would not De

nations obtained heavy reparatlon
payments fl ON Germany to onset

the reparation moneys to pay their

therefore had under my ayes dee
umentary evidence of what the
Turks did to Armenians. But last
fall l was in Asia Minor when tie
Greeks were still winning-and /
found the Greeks were perpetratilg
atrocities against Turkish peasants
and their wives.
81 personally saw Greeks loot
houses, burn villages and shoot in
habitants. And 1 have reason to be-
lieve there were worse outrages.
IF we now raise an outcry against
the Turks and keep silent about
the conduct of the Greek army
in the recent retreat. it will infame
every Turk in Asia Minor.
THE Turks will say we hate them
and disclaim against them not be-
cause of their conduct but because
will ask why we close our eyes to
similar wrong perpetrated by fell
low Christians.
Both Sides to Blame
1.-THE fact is that great wrongs have
been committed by both sides. One
of Mustapha Kemal's cabinet minis
tiers recognized this when he recent
ly said it would be a good thing to
move all Greeks and Armenians out
of Turkish territory and all Turkish
citizens out of European territory.
In other words. he would exchange
M population for the other so that
in each territory would be all one
people instead of conflicting races.
81 believe this should be done. And
nobody could more perfectly super
such a transfer thar the
American Relief Association. This
organization has everybody's conf
dence. The Turks know the Ameri-
have no territorial or political
ambitions in that quarter of the
world and they would absolutely
trust the Americans-if religion
were subordinated.
Transferring these populations
would be more eficacious than at
tempting by treaty to secure guaran-
tees Of the safety of racial minori-
ties. In the latter case the causes
OF friction and conflict would al
remain"

RAN TOGETHER IN
COLUMBIA RIVER
Collision of Two Steamers Wreck
Both and Caused Loss Of
Several Lives

Portland, Oregon, May 29-(By AS
sociated Press)-Eeven firemen asleep
in the forecastle of the Furness Prince
Lines cargo steamer, Welsh Prince,
were killed, and three injured late last
night when that vessel was rammed
by the freighter Iowan in the Colum-
bia river off Altoona, Wash. A radio
message said the Welsh Prince sank
within thirty minutes and the Iowan,
a 6500-ton vessel operated by the Am
erican- Hawaiian Steamship Company,
was sinking slowly. The Welsh Prince
left Seattle yesterday for the Orient,
and the Iowan was inbound from New
York.
A late radio message, unsigned but
apparently from the Iowan, reported
"We are lying alongside, attempting
to put out fire on the Welsh Prince
The message indicated the Prince was
not submerged completely, but that
her upper works were afire A report
from the Fort Stephens wireless ope-
rator added the Welsh Prince was
resting on the bottom, her boilers ap-
parently exploded and that part of the
craft above water was burning.

FEAST FOR THE FIREMEN

Alderman Pedrick, as head of the
department of public safety, takes lots
of interest in the fire department,
especially the personnel. Saturday he
sent to the frehall the material for a
big purlo, which E. F. Beall, the ac-
knowledged culinary artist of the de-
partment, put on to cook until the
eatist could not tell where the chicken
left off and the rice began.
The feast commenced about $40 in
the evening. Gathered around the
festal board were Alderman Pedrick,
Chief Chambers, Fireman and Chef
Beall, Firemen Paul Sockwell, Leslie
Rawls and H. S. Wynn, Sanitary In
spector Holloway and Cowpuncher
Freeman. Before the supper was over,
the crowd was added to by that vet
eran volunteer fireman, Peyton Bailey,
who has more than once stood up to a
blaze till it scorched his eyebrows off.
Tie editor of the Star was also pres
ent and ate as much as anybody.
Everybody had second helping of
the purlo, which couldn't be excelled,
and if a big city hotel ever hears of
Beall it will have him if it has to kid
nap him. Before the party broke up.
the fire chief and the editor told a few
juicy lies, which the younger men
were respectful enough to laugh at.
Such little festivities greatly relieve
the monotony of life.

AUTO THIEVES ON a
THE JOB AGAIN

Saturday night four negroes took a
liking to Jack Thomson's Ford and
drove it to Gainesville, where they
were stopped. Jacks Ford was park
ed near the o. K. Grocery during the
evening and when he was ready to go
home he discovered his loss. He no
titled the sheriff's office at once. Sher-
iff Thomas promptly went to work
with the phone, and in a short while
had officers in all the adjoining towns
looking for the miscreants. In few
hours he was informed the Gainesville
police had the car and the men. The
sheriff Immediately sent for them,
gave Mr.. Thomson back his car and
put the thieves in Jail. In addition to
stealing the car, the negroes ate a
quantity of groceries Mr.. Thomas had
laid in for Sunday. The negroes were
Ed Miller, John McCredie, Lee Prest,
ly and Green Richardson, and they
will probably do enough work for the
state to pay for a Ford apiece before
they have a chance to steal another.

PLEASANT PARTY FOR
TWO LITTLE GIRLS

Two of Ocala's dainty little misses,
Marian Walkley and Virginia Melton,
jointly celebrated their birthday ami
versaries Saturday afternoon. The
party was given at the home of Mr..
I. I. Munroe, on Wenona street, where
Marion makes her home. These two
little friends who are the closest of
friends and playmates and whose
eighth birthday comes on the same
day, thought it would be the most fun
to share their birthday party together,
so the mothers of these little girls in
vited about sixty-five of their little
friends to help them fittingly celebrate
this occasion.
The hours from four to six o'clock
passed quickly while the children en-
joyed all kinds of games ON the lawn,
and their frequent laughter told what
a good time they were having. Their
mothers having an eye to the weather,
which for the past week has been
rather inclement, had previously made
the garage into a cozy dining room
rith rugs, tables and flowers and at
refreshment time. and rain began to
fall, the garage was an ideal refuge,
and her it was that refreshments
were served.
The party was a real daisy party,
the flowers being used in vases, which
were placed on the tables. Pretty
baskets decorated with daisies and
filled with mints were also on the
tables and the yellow and white colors
were carried out in the cream and the
icing Of the cakes served to the guests.
Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Melton were
assisted in entertaining by Miss Muir
ray, Mrs. Holder and Mrs. William
Bullock. The two little girls were
showered with the best of wishes and
wer the recipients of many pretty
presents and the sincere expressions
of the guests of the pleasant after
noon they had spent told what good
time they had enjoyed.

MAKING READY
FOR MEMORIAL DAY

The ladies of the American Legion
Auxiliary are busy this afternoon

decoration of the graves tomorrow.
At this time handsome bronze mark
ers will be used for marking the
graves of the fallen world war vet
Grams, of which there are about twenty
in Marion county. These markers
stand thirty inches high, are of
bronze and on each is engraved the
name of the fallen hero whose resting
place it will mark. The markers were
purchased by the auxiliary with the
money they earned with their lunch
counter at the fair last fall, excepting
that part of the proceeds which swent
to the tuberculosis hospital at Lake
