demnity must be fixed. not by parti- sans, but by impartial business minded people. No one is fond of paying debts, if it can be avoided. This is equally true of any nation. and Germany is no exception.
 Having fixed reasonable condi- tions- if Germany does not then take necessary steps forthwith to carry them out, the necessary steps must be taken to force her to comply.
 If we do not need reparations to the same extent as other nations, we need them certainly to a greater ex- tent than etaers outside of our islands seem to believe. The ques- tion is more shan getting the largest amount Germany is able to pay. If his were all there was to 1t, there should not be difficulty ir any agree nient.
 England Heavily Taxed
 It is stated constantly in the French press that there can be no question about the payment of the French debt until Germany pays her indemnity This sounds natural. but let us look at it logically. We have made our budget rosition strong by making our taxpayers poor. We are suffering from this fact; our unem- ployment is scourge which is as great as ti at Of any of the other al lied nations. We run the risk of ruin unless there is very big improva- ment in our position. We are in far worse pos.tion as regards the people of our country than the other allies whose position is less strong than ours finan tally.
 "Jt Is often said that We have a selfish interest in the restoration Of Germany because we do so much for eign tra 1e. IT is my belief that from purely a selfish viewpoint that if an earthquake were to come along an1 swallow Germany up, we would gain, not lose, since Germany is our trade rival"

him rather intimately could properly
appreciate his character and his
worth.

corner Of Pacific and Main Streets to
the extend Of approximately $500.
