Shown to Be Advantageous to America

ment, December Is, 1922. and this interest of
about $600.000000 added to the capital
debt, to be refunded into the new obligations
of the British government.
On the 18th of March. there was paid over
in cash. SO to make the refunded debt a
round figure, the odd sum of $4,128,0S5.74, and
new obligations bearing interest of per
cent for the first 10 years and 31a per cent
thereafter were turned over to this Govern
ment in the amount of $4,600000000 to liqui-
date Great Britain's debt in 62 years.
All Debt Payments Met.
The American-British agreement was hailed
at the time on both sides of the Atlantic
new forward step in sealing the inviolability
of International contract and looking to-
ward eventual adjustment of the financial and
economic situation of Europe. The two great
English speaking peoples said to have
set pace which Mr.. Baldwin admitted at
the time would be difficult for his de burden
ed empire, at that time suffering from much
unemployment. But his majesty's government
has not yet passed a debt-payment date.
Roughly speaking, the total amount paid
by Great Britain since the refunding agree
ment was signed is now $220. 100000. This
includes both principal and interest. Pay
payments interest made semi-annul-
ly, in June and December.

all others similar In nature, on which Con-
gress has acted, have received the unqualified

Cost of Money Averaged.
The general principle upon which the inter-
est rate allowed Great Britain, was based, was
learned to be the average cost to a govern
ment of money the term of years
cerned-in this case 62 years
At the present time the Anne erican Govern
ment is paying to holders of Liberty bonds
and other obligations representing money loan
ed to Great Britain a variety of rates of in
terest running from ga up to 4a per cent,
whereas Great Britain is paying the United
States Government per cent on the loan.
1t was to be expected, according to American
officials that at first there would be some diff
ference between the two interest rates paid
by and received by the United States the
account, but has already become evident
the Government is beginning to get the ad-
vantage of lower rates. So that the
term of years, it is expected, the interest mat
ter will about break even to the amount
paid out by this Government and the amount
received from Great Britain. All the while
the annual payments principal and interest
continue, beginning with $161, 100000 for the
first year and running up to higher figures
later
No Gap In Interest Period.
Nor there any gap in the interest
period from the beginning of the loan to
Great Britain by this Government. The loans
were made in several installments during the
war between April, 1917 and June, 1919. The

HAS the world been thoroughly
explored for gold?" I asked.
"Yes, it has been pretty well raked
over, but we're always finding new
stuff There have been some quartz
mines recently opened in South
America, and Canada is another new
field. The Hoflander mine, 100 miles
north of Toronto. is one of the
greatest producers in the world, and
the Porcupine fields, in which 1t is
located, have jumped Canada up to
the third most important gold coun-
try Australia is out of 1t now, and
the United States ranks next to
South Africa Three-fourths of the
gold shipped into this country comes
from the African fields.

long enough, Europe may be able to
mine enough gold to pay her debts.
and meanwhile she Is trying to pay
US with goods.
Fortunately or unfortunately, two
things are against her: Our tariff
and the fact that she must buy GER
tain essential materials from us.
Even today, Europe has an unfavor-
able balance Of trade. That is, she
buys more from US than we buy from

Gold Standard Secure.
Suppose" I suggested, that Eu-
rope, having sent all her gold over
here, turns around and says: Keep
the stuff. Well adopt another me-
dunn of exchange"
she's been trying to do that all
along" Mr.. Carlton snapped back.
That's exactly what Germany did
adopted another medium of exchange.
She adopted paper. But mediately
paper prices went up, SO that there
were two prices: one for gold and
one for paper. Gold prices remained
the foundation of her trade. Every
one talked and reckoned and did
business in terms of gold, even If
they used paper. Paper meant MOTH
ing, and now Germany has discarded
it for the basic metal which she tried
to do without. No country" said Mr..
Carlton emphatically, "can long exist
without a metallic base for it's cur
rency."
"Is there a danger of our getting
too much gold?" 1 put my final ques,
tion.
1T might become rather unhealthy
If our Federal Reserve banks were
not careful to avoid imitation. But
it is not nearly as unhealthy as a
scarcity of gold. Our country suf-
fered seriously from this in its early
days, and even in the past 20 years
we have had serious depressions. due
to our lack of gold. That was dur
ing the period when we were q
debtor nation and had to pay our
debts by shipping gold bullion to
Europe. Today we no longer write
our balance figures in red letters.
We have switched from a debtor
country to the greatest creditor ma
tion in the world"

10 No one has ever taught this with SO
much force and power as did He who
all along His way was hindered and
halted by the stern and bitter opposi-
ton of His enemies. We have noted
again and again in the ministry of
Jesus that He never recognized mo

those who came to Him should discover
and acknowledge their own weaknesses,
as we'll as their need of what He had
to give. Repeatedly He said to those
who came to Him "canst thou believe,
all things are possible to him that be-
lieveth." In practically every case He
gave renewal of life together with a
larger vision of it's unfulfilled possibili-
ties by demanding that the things or
the past should be put away and for
gotten, and the whole vision concen-
trated on the things of the future.
We read some time ago OF young
man who died of old age at 20, while
concurrently we had an optimistic
letter from a man who felt the glow OF
youth at 81. The first succumbed pc
cause he could see nothing on the horl-

Last Thursday we passed over into
new year Reluctantly or gladly we
left the old year with its records,
behind u.s. The large question that
will determine our success or failure,
our satisfaction or our disappointment
in the new year upon which we have
entered, is one that has to do with our
outlook, or what we generally call our
philosophy of life. If We have, IRE
spective of our years, hopeful, buoy
ant nationally optimistic outlook, we
shall see rainbows arching the blackest
clouds and we shall be able to read
into lifes most serious or its most radl-
ant experiences the meaning of divine
plan, to the fulfllment of which we are
essentially related.
As a young man we loved those words
of the ancient prophet: II the Lord
thy God will hold thy righ hand, saying
unto thee, fear not: l will help thee"
In the fuller maturity OF life with
burdening problems 1t is well to hold
with increasing tenacity to these ideals
or conception of Gods relation to US,
and to feel always, that come what
may, we are moving on and up to the
higher fulfillment of His purposes con-
cerning us. He had a great conception

Wool From Cotton
German Invention

Experiments have been made in
Germany with a new process which
is said to give to Utton fabrics the
appearance, feel and texture of wool.
1t was originated and patented in
Germany by the Hoechstr Farbwerke,
a large dye company, and was known
as the 'feiting" of cotton. 1t has been
taken up in France by the Estab
easements Kuhlmann, dyestuff
manufacturing company, and the Gill
let group of Lyon dyers and printers.
The fabrics, while possessing the
appearance and feel of wool, have
not it's animal warmth, and it is
stated that the new cloth will be
particularly recommended for wom-
ems sports clothes and other, goods.
The treated cloth is stated to have
something of the appearance Of fan
mel, and to take wool dyes in a re-
markable way. The fabrics will be
styled "Philana-" Negotiations are
also being carried on with British
capitalists with view to building
a similar mill In England. The new
fabric is already being manufactured
in England.

debt question will take a new form.
We cannot. the British cannot, at
one time insist that the French and
Italians pay us and that they do not
use force to make Germany pay them.
But neither we nor the British want
the Germans coerced, for it is plain
that in that direction lies new eco
nomic and perhaps political chaos.
The attitude of the American pub
lie as contrasted with the Government
with respect of foreign debs at the
present moment is quite analogous to
the attitude of the French people with
respect of German reparations which
we criticized so severely two years
ago. We insist upon payment with
out regard to the capacity Of the
debtor and refuse to listen to any dis
cussion of the matter of possibilities.
The fact that the British are paying
US misleads, because Britain, despite
the war, remains a creditor nation
and is the sole European country ca
pable of making any considerable for
eign payments without upsetting it's
domestic situation. Yet even for Brit
ain the burden is heavy and arouses
protest and resentment.
Fate Debts Might Meet.
If a Dawes commission sat today
upon the financial conditions of
France, Belgium and Italy as 1t did
upon the German condition last year.
every financial man knows that they
would sweep away the tangle OF in
terallied debts. exactly as they de-
molished the imposing monument of
$33. 900, 100000 which had been hith-
erto fixed as the sum of German obli-
cations. The underlying principle of
the Dawes plan was that all foreign
hn ell SyIh IN
the restoration and maintenance of
the economic health of the debtor
nation; that no payment could be de-
manded or made when the payment
would disturb domestic exchange.
And German exchange was restored
to par by foreign loans.
The Dawes commission, while os-
tensibly undertaking to collect repa-
rations or fix a method of doing
this, actually undertook to restore
Germany as an economic and f1nan-
cial concern, and to devise means for
keeping it so without regard to
reparations obligations. But at the
present moment the French, Italian
and Belgian francs, so far from be-
ing at par, are worth less than a
third of their pre-war value. France
and Italy are making heroic efforts
to balance their budgets, but neither
has quite turned the point, although
both may next year.
The Illusion of vast German repair
ations payments has been destroyed
We talked for years in terms of bill
lions and now We are down to a
maximum annual German payment OF
$500, 900, 900, which may be reached g
few years hence, but almost every
one knows it will never be reached
and probably never approached.
