a Renaissance of the late President

Mr.. Wilson on his trip to the Pacific

The War Debts.

In sending notice TO its European
debtors that the time has come to set
tie their war obligations to the United
States the American Government
does not assume the role Of the harsh
collector. For surely the time has. in
deed, come for a practical move to-
ward that settlement. Funding agree
ments have been made between the
United States and Great Britain, Hun
gary, Finland. Lithuania and Poland.
There remain nine nations which have
made no move toward adjustment. and
whose debts. principal and interest
combined. now amount to S1.l00.91S,-
sos. OF this sum S5,57S. S92, 293 is in
principal and 81 So. 3S6, 402 in accrued
interest. More than half of the entire
amount is owed by France. whose
total oblisa ton AT this time is s4.210.-
S5S.a4S.
Sentiment in this country il decided
~ in favor of settlement of these debts
The American taxpayers are carrying
heavy. burden because these ad-
vances to the nations ged in the
Great War have not been paid. For
giveness of these debts would mean
gift in principal of more than five and
half billion dollars. 1t has been pro
posed TO forgive the interest. Against
that there is a preponderant public
feeling. The Government of the
United States must act in conformity
he
should be paid. Its present move is to
that end.
There is no desire on the part of
this Government to precipitate an un-
balancing of finances to cripple or
hamper any OF the debtor nations.
American interests require. TO regard
the matter solely from selfish point
of view. financial stability abroad as
well "a al home. But leniency has been
dictated by other than commercial
req sons of international economies

Of debtors to the United States has
asked remission of these debts. Hints
have been given that remission would
be gratefully received. One of the chief

the question arises whether it would

asked, for this Government to differ.

Undoubtedly cancellation of the
war debts would greatly enhance the
prestige of the United States in .Eu-

this country is reversed that cannot

GREAT BRITAIN
SEEKS MOSUL

Willing to Take Mandate Over
Irak IT Extra Territory

GENEVA, Sept. 3.-Great Britain
Is willing to accept a twenty-five
year mandate over Irak, with the
rich oil bearing territory of Mosul
included, Leopold Amery, British
colonial secretary, today told the
League of Nations Council, which
held a lively session in an attempt
to settle the acrid Anglo-Turkish
dispute over Mosul.
Amery's statement opens the way
for the council to choose the path
Of least resistance and adopt the
report of the league commission
which investigated the Mosul ques-
ton. This commission recommend
ed that Mosul should go to Turkey
when Great Britain gave UP its
mandate over Irak, but suggested
that the fiveAyear British mandate
should be extended to twenty-five
years. $50. GF>a
Protest Likely
Turkey probably will protest at
any extension of the Irak mandate
which deprives her Of Mosul, and
it has been reported that Angora
has alraedy made preparations to
forcibly resist any extended delay
in turning Mosul over to her.
Great Britain's decision to extend
the Irak mandate will undoubtedly
have domestic political reverbera.
tons, for there has been strong
opposition to further British man
dates, on grounds that they are
piling up expenses for the British
taxpayers.
The air was charged with bitter
ness when Amerey and Tewfik
Rusadi Bey, Turkish representative,
made their appearance before the
council to voice their respective
claims.
Accuses Britain
Tewfik Rusadi Bey opened the
discussion for Turkey with a bit
ter charge OF bad faith against
Great Britain. Amery countered
with similar charges against
Turkey.
Amery accused the Turks OF vio-
lating the Mosul frontier and the
Turks Immediately responded with
a charge that the British had not
observed the boundaries.
Both Amery and Tewfik pro-
fessed willingness to abide by the
decisions of the council.
