Sees Britain's Foreign Trade
Factor in Debt Settlement
Quotes Value Figures.

chases would obviously have to be cut

Quotes Value Figures.
The Ambassador quoted the value
figures for the trade between the
United Kingdom and the United States
in the last calendar year, which showed
a commodity movement aggregating
1882 900 900 this way and S404 600, 900
the other way and called attention TO
the fact that the interest and dividends
from American investments, which be
fore the war went far in the settlement
of Englands s unfavorable trade account
with us, have been much reduced by
the wartime sales of securities in the
home market.
Great Britain'S ability to make pay
ments is not dependent upon the
state Of her direct trade with US If
she has balances in her favor with
other countries, she may use them in
the settlement with us, but. as the
Ambassador pointed out, her trade
with Russia, central Europe, and, in
deed, all parts of the world, has suf
fered. However, so long as Great
| Britain Is creditor in the general
clearings she can meet her payments
to the United States.
The Ambassadors main theme, that
international payments, whether upon
OSptS OT 1OI CuFIcIlt purchases, must
be made in the long run in a country's
own products or services. cannot be
challenged in any final way. although
writer's higgle over it. OF course.
Great Britain could meet balances
temporarily adverse by borrowing, as
she has made arrangements for doing
over the next two years in resuming
gold payments. AS long as a coun-
| try can borrow, obviously it need not
! III
borrow depends upon ability to pay in
some other way.
Britain's Default Not Probable.
: 1t is not probable that Great Britain
ever will default on the debt TO the
| United States, because she has vast
| means of payment outside of har
Town territory and outside of current
trade, but, assuming the possibility OF
conditions such as the Ambassador
describes, undoubtedly she would have
| to ask, readjustment either Of the
debt or Of our policy toward imports.
Moreover, the Dawes commission has
established distinction between the
ability of country to raise given
sum by taxation within its own terri
tory and ability to pay that sum in
other countries and other currencies.
and there is no reason to doubt that
the United States will recognize this
distinction.
There is more interest, however, in
the application Of this principle in the
settlements with France, Belgium.
Italy and the other European debtors
than in the remote possibility of its ap-
plication to the case of Great Britain.
Their abilities to make payments
abroad are much less than hers. OF
course. general revival of industry
and the establishment of balanced
trade relations, such as Ambassador
Howard pleads for, would change the
entire situation. The changes in in
dustry of the next 25 years may be
| SO great that debts which appear very
formidable now will have a wholly
different appearance then. This is one
of the factors which justified caution
on the part Of responsible public m
cials in dealing with the debt pro ~.

was at one time a La Toilette man
but he broke with the late Senator
in 1912, following Roosevelt into the
Progressive party of those days He
succeeded in winning the nomination
for the Senate in 1914. but his sue
cess was temporary and resulted in
the election OF a Democratic Senator,
an almost unheard.of thing in Wis.
consin, Senator Husting. After Nc.
Govern had won the Republican NOM
ination the La Toilette followers in
large numbers voted for Husting, 2,
which turned the trick for him.
This bit of political history, by the
way, is of some interest in the
present situation. Should the stall.
warts candidate succeed in winning
the Republican nomination Martin
Lueck. who Is the probable Democra.
tic nominee for the Senate, may re.
ceive La Toilette support Just as
Husting did a decade ago, with the
result that the Democrats will pick
up Senate seat. Lueck was the
candidate Of the Democrats for gov.
ernor In 1924, and made a good race
against Blaine, the vote being Blaine,
900. and Lueck, $4,000. If the
younger La Toilette Is nominated
there Is the chance. too, that some
of the stAlwarts may throw their
votes to the Democratic nominee, too,
and thus give him a chance to nose

to the place, intent on driving the

only too successful. A bull and

Deayertown History Continued

Some parties who formerly lived
in Deavertown, but moved from
there to Columbus, have sent a re
quest that the history of Deayer-
town, of over century ago, be con-

tle1a. it was Latural for the village
to adopt their name. In 1915 Levi
Deaver laid out the town which was
as Grst called New Market but e..
nally by common consent took the
name of its founder. Levi Deaver
disposed of the lots at price of
five dollars each, but to each pur-
chaser he would give an extra lof.
The families of Longstreths, about
fifteen families of them, came from
Pennsylvania Two of the brothers
each, adjoining each other, and
James settled one-half mile west of
the village.
While these brothers were all
reared among the same influences
they held different religious con-
yictions. Bartholomew was a Cath
oIlc, and soon after his settlement
here he built Catholic church,
which is said to be the second Cath
olic church built in this part of
Ohio. He secured the services of a
priest and for many years services
were held regularly.
The establishment of this church
brought lot of Catholic emigrants
to this place from Cambria county,
Pa. Among the number was a Ger
man named Gossman, who just came
to this part of the country and had
never known much about wild ami
mails, and it was he who killed
panther while on his way to the
Catholic church one day, and told
the priest he thought it was the
devil that he had slain. 1t was
Bartholomew Longstreth who built
a mill on Jonathan Creek, that
was a great convenience to the early
settlers. He died in 1925, and his
widow operated the mill for the
next 25 years.
The Pletchers were another of
the early settlers-several families
of them, who came to this vicinity
and bought from the government
1850 acres of land, and were one
family of the colony of Pletchers
who settled there in 1916. Henry
Fletcher was a soldier in the war of
1912.
