Europe's Debt to America.

Passage by Congress Of the allied
debt-funding bill will greatly increase
the chance Of accomplishments at
Genoa looking to the restoration Of
prosperity to Europe and to the world.
None of the countries Of Europe which
owe huge sums to the United States
can make intelligent plans for the fu-
ture while this Indebtedness hangs
over it like a black cloud. overdue and
subject to call.
This does not mean that the In
debtedness will be taken into the
Genoa conference and discussed as a
composite matter, and it certainly does
not mean that the United States will
be party to a conference the program
Of which looks to an effort to bring
about cancellation Of Indebtedness.
But the debtor nations, before they
gather at Genoa, are entitled to know
that this government is prepared to
enter into fair and reasonable ADJUST
ments and that demand for payment
Of Immediately impossible sums will
not upset all the plans they may. make
That the United States should can
eel the Indebtedness is demand still
heard, not only in Europe. but in this
country. The basis Of the demand
generally is that it is utterly impossi-
BILE for Europe to pay, 80 the debt
might as we'll be written of the books
and gotten rid Of. Such reasoning Is
not likely to get far with the Ameri-
can people. Only this week they have
heard Poincare. the new prime minis
ter Of France, proclaim that Germany
can and must pay the full amount OF
the reparations, which. in round num-
bers, is s55.000. 100000. The total
allied Indebtedness. with accrued in
terest, owed the United States Is about
$11 900, ,O00. 900. The estimated national
wealth, of Germany today is $40 1000, ,oOo,-
900. The estimated national wealth of
the three nations most deeply indebted
to the United States-the British en-
plre, France and Italy-is 100000 ,000,-
0O0. If twenty billions can and must
pay fifty-five billions. it is, going to
take a lot of arguing to convince the
American people that $40 BILLIONS can
not pay eleven billions.
But the American people have no
wish to be harsh with their European
debtors. Nothing Is farther from
their desire than to press for pay
ment Of such sums and at such times
that payment would interfere with the
economic recovery Of the debtor ma
tions. II Americans are not to be
credited with any particle Of generous
impulse, such policy would be poor
business. Both for the sake Of even
tual payment Of the debt and for the
sake of trade with them the Amer.
lean people want the peoples OF
Europe to prosper. They are ready
and anxious to help, both in the mat
ter Of debt adjustment and In the
extension Of commercial credits. But
the European nations must first show
a willingness to put their own houses
in order, and they must not try to
overreach this country in their proc.
esses of adjustment.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHnANDER JOHNSON.

Loyalty.
Although my fireside holds my
thought, wherever may roam.
do not love my town the less be-
cause I love my home.
And when I view the broader skies
where storm clouds often frown,
I do not love my country less because
I love my town.
Or when my fellow men afar face hun.
gering and fear,
I love the world no less because hold
my country dear.
He who denies to one Of these the rev.
erence that is due
Has not the soul and sense sincere to
love the other two.
