SETTLE DEBT AND PREPARATIONS,
 SECURE PROTECTION OF FRANCE, DECLARED WAY TO DISARMAMENT


 France and the rest of Europe can be avoided, and she herself can afford to accept a reasonable settlement of her reparation claim.
 Given security for France and that the question of reparations is consid- cred merely as business proposition, there should be no insuperable diffi- culty in reaching agreement.
 It is true that France still thinks that Germany can pay more than most British and American experts think possible. But the divergence is not beyond reconciliation, and there is a great deal of common ground be. tween the two points of view. Toward Settlement
 The features of settlement may be briefly summarized. In the first place the amount to be paid must be within Germany's capacity. It is mistake to jump to the conclusion that this capacity has been permanently re- duced to any serious extent by the depreciation of the exchange. The only test of any real consequence to- day is the opinion of the neutral and American money markets; for the final debt allocation to Germany must be such that the financial centers of the world will lend money to Germany as to a potentially solvent country.
 Secondly, and rising out of this con- sideration, Germany must be given every inducement to pay off the capi- tai liability as soon as possible by raising a loan, for until the debt to the Allied Governments is replaced by German securities bought and sold in London. New York, Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris, just as British war debt can be bought and sold. we shall be always living in the fear that the reparation question may revive and cause political uncertainty. The in- ducement to capitalize the debt can be offered on the one hand in the shape of very heavy discount on early cap italization, and on the other in a rapidly as this capitalization is achieved.
 If the political difficulties can be settled there is no economic reason why the whole of the indemnity should not be mobilized in the course of a few years.
 Thirdly, the settlement must be a final one, otherwise no banker would lend penny.
 Fourthly, the settlement must apply to the Inter-Allied debts as we'll as to reparations. In this connection the most important point in that the Brit ish nation must reconcile itself to making much more liberal offer to France than MT Bonar Law made last month in Paris.
 French and British Shares
 According to the statement of the British delegation in Paris, the shares of France and of England, respective ly, of the sum to be paid by Germany under the British scheme was:
 France, 21h milliard gold marks. Great Britain, IS milliard gold marks.
 Against these figures Great Britain owed America 20 milliard gold marks, The present value of Britain's Ameri- can debt has already been reduced by the lowering of the rate of interest provided in the Washington agree ment below current rates, and if the French debt were similarly written

By w. r. LAYTON, Editor of the Economist

LONDON, March 28.-At a moment when Europe is lowering on the brink of chaos, it may seem little remote from reality for the League of Nations and it's supporters to go on talking about disarmament. Unless, however we are to throw up the sponge and be content to return to condition o1 affairs where each nation is not mere ly judge, but also it's own police off cer in international dealings, we are driven once again to seek an alterna tive which can only be found along three definite lines, viz, a reasonable settlement of the problem of debts and separations, the guarantee ot Frances Eastern frontier against az gression, and plan of European dis armanet.
 Like the persons in the Trinity these three objectives are not three policies, but one policy. All three are mutually dependent, and each one Of them is the necessary complement of the other.
 Storm Clouds Gather
 The nations who fought the war bv the side of France cannot possibly ac- cept as final the view that the worlds peace can only be maintained if Ger many is kept crushed and divided Nor does history encourage us to be- lieve that France can in the long run do this. Moreover, it means not mere ly that she abandon hope of repara- tion, but that she saddles herself with a policy costly in men and money, de- structive of goodwill and of com merce and credit, and one which leaves upon her alone the task of re- storing the devastated areas.
 There is no country in Europe which could stand the triple burden of pay ing interest on a huge war debt, main taining an army and navy on a pre- war standard and finding enormous sums to repair the destruction of war.
 But the effects of the policy are not confined to France alone, or even to Germany. It involves the abandon ment by Belgium and Italy of their hopes for reparation, and for the for mer, at all events, this is serious sacrifice. It means that the attempt to attain an era of law and order among the nations of Europe will, in fact, break down elsewhere than on the Rhine. Already storm clouds are gathering in Eastern and South East ern Europe, and it is obvious that the authority of the Allied Powers or of the League of Nations to deal with such cases must suffer a serious eclipse.
 Paralyzing Trade
 The paralyzing of trade through the of foreign exchanges will and in particular the attempt of the League of Nations to make an in Central and Eastern Europe by putting Austria on it's legs will be made far more difficult Fin lilly, one cannot enforce disarmament on other countries so long as large standing army remains ill France; and he burden which the Brussels Confer ence in 1920 pointed out as being the main cause of the bad financial plight )f most of the states of Europe, who between them were spending 20 per cent of their income on ornaments, will continue.
 If, on the other hand, means can be found for giving France security
