Nineteen foreign nations are indebt-
ed to the United States government
to the extent of over twelve billion
dollars, and this club is now to be
used by the Wall Street bankers and
big business to secure juicy contracts

Coolidge admitted that the move
to collect the debts is an attempt to
increase foreign trade for Americas
capitalists. The United States is the
banker of the world. and the Ameri-
can trusts who follow the flag" are
chasing dollars in foreign lands.
France is under the heaviest obli-

syndicate. France has paid 1921, 1885,

Great Britain's total indebtedness
to the United States is 300 million
dollars more than that of France,

Nations Indebted to U. S.
The nine nations which have been
called on to settle their debts with
the United States are France, Italy,
Belgium, Greece, Roumania, Czecho-
Slovakia, Yugo-Slavia, Esthonia, and
Latvia. The settlements are to be
arranged with the world war foreign
