There are just few fundamental
facts that stand out in the situation,
and these facts must be faced regard
less of consequence First. France
owes the United States between four
and hve billions Of dollars. This money
was Supplied to France out of the
pockets of the American people when
France was in extremis, with the ex-
ception of une billion dollars, which
was lent to the French AFTER the
war had rlBsed. M
Second, France must pay this debt,
without question.
Third. America must know exactly
when she is going to begin paying it,
without Eqnivoratiun, how she is go
ing to pay it, and what rate of inter
est is to be charged during the run Of
the histn nIlnt4ntsy
1t can be stated on strong authority
that all consideration of cancellation
