 WOULD CANCEL
 WAR DEBTS

LONDON, Jan. 10.-A passionate appeal for the cancellation of war debts is made by Lord Buckmaster, ex-British Lord Chancellor and fla nous lawyer and social reformer.
 If the present policy is pursued" he says, mo man can say when the catastrophe will come, but sooner or later the catastrophe of the last four years will be repeated.
 There is no solid market left in Europe,' he continues, "nor will there ever be until we have begun at the bottom and restored Europe in the same way in which we have at tempted to build up the British Elm pire-by making Europe save itself.
 What we ought to say at once is:
 "'This Treaty of Versailles, so far as it has attempted to impose on Germany the obligation to pay pensions to the women and children of killed and disabled men, went beyond the terms of the armistice, and that to induce any nation, how ever evil and abominable they might be, to lay down their arms on the set of terms and then, when they were defenceless, to impose another, is an act of dishonesty which can never be effacted!'
 Then Britain ought to be ready to renounce all other benefits in ia vor of France and Belgium.
 Britain should instantly forego, with out bargaining, the debts owing to her from France and Italy, which, according to all the laws of eco monies, could never be paid.
 "This should be done under the condition that France helped Britain with the other nations, to stabilize the exchanges and currencies of Europe"
