The meaning Of the British-Amer-
lean debt settlement has not been
lost on France. II harnonixes with
French policy, which has always
sought an enforcement of wsx obli-
cations and the collection OF war
debts.
The Washington agreement coin
oides with the Frenoh-Belglan-Itsi-
ian effort to bring a defaulting Ger
many 10 terms. Germany has not
been willing to acknowledge her
reparation debt OF TO discharge IL.
The Reich has no interest In par
tioipatins in what President Hard
ing described as "a covenant OF
peace and recuperation, of respect
and cooperation" II has no idea OF
Initiating the ''recommitment Of the
English-spesking world to the valid
ity OF contract"
France, Belgium and ITALY desire
a similar European commitment to
the sanctity of treaty obligations.
They want Germany to pay them
what she owes them or TO give rea-
sons which they can accept as valid
for non-payment. They are the
proper judges OF Germany's willing
ness and ability to pay. Germany is
lighting payment not because che is
poor but beoouse the super-billion-
aires who control her present gov
eminent are very rioh. She is strus-
Cling TO protect their wealth-theo-
retically the Reich's weslth-whioh
Is far greater now than the wealth
OF the empire IN 1913.

, the French feel that they. too, must
discharge their debts TO their al
lies. It has bean customary in GER
tain circles TO cay that France will
never pay her debt TO the United
states-that this obligation is only
sorap OF paper. The wish which
is father 20 the thought in this
case IN evident. French inability TO
nav is too often predicated on an as
sumed German inability 10 pay and
on q. hope that Germany may escape
payment. The only Frenoh reter-
vations as to payment have had 10
do with intereferenoe from the out
side 70 reduce the amounts coming

Treaty.
Such reservations are now peins
dismissed. The Tribune publ'rhed
Yesterday a Paris dispatch repro
ducing an editorial from "be Feth
Parisien," the most widely circulat-
ed newspaper In France. which IN
dicates the present drift OF Bremen
opinion. It advocated unconditional
discharge of Frances war debts TO
Great Britain and the United States
And It based this advocacy on the
fact that France is 'inaugurating

on tho part of these two creditors to

SHOULD RUSSIA EXPORT FooD2


From the New York Tribune.
The report from Europe that the
Soviet government has recently ex-
ported S., tons of grain 10 Ger
many and 5000 tons to Finland 10 of
particular Importance when taken in
connection with the recent state
ments OF the National Information
Bureau to the effect that during the
coming year 100000 Russians will
need relief from starvation. About
a month ago the American Relief
Administration stated that during
the peak OF the food shortage, which
Is expected during May. June and
July, they would be feeding 3,000,-
900 of the 5000 900 starving. where
as the Soviet government would look
after 1000, 600 and European relief
organizations would look after the
remaining 100000
But what OF the fu.ure7 II the
report OF Soviet food exports Is
true, a new and serious problem is
raised. The total OF $4,000 tons OF
grain said to have been exported Is
enough TO allow for two pounds per
person for $4,000 people for per
Tod OF four months. In other words,
enough 10 keep this large number OF
Russians from starvation has been
shipped out OF the country at a time
when AmerioNn charity has been
shipping food IN to keep millions
alive. II this policy ia continued,
how much longer can American aid
be given7
II would seem tkat the first con-
diton precedent TO extending
American relief for a long period
must be that whatever surplus
there is within Russia must be used
for The relief Of starving Russians
instead OF FOR export. II Is impos-
sible to ask Americans 20 ship in
relief for millions y at the same I
time Russia exports enough food 4
70 care for these millions
whether or not pressure can be |
upon the Soviet government
TO do this remains 20 be seen. I: is /
possible that the policy OF exporting
food may not be carried out to a
sufficient extent to make such pres
sure necessary. But there have
been indications that the Soviet
is so anxious TO obtain
he machinery which II could get
by exporting food that IL Is willing
