THE ANCHORAGE DAILY TIMES
(The Anchorage Times)

At meeting of the stockholders of the Anchorage Times Publishing company, held in Anchorage last evening, the board of directors who will guide the destinies of the con- pany for the ensuing year were elect ed They are J. B. Gottstein, chair man of the board; A. A. Shonbeck, president; A. J. Hewitt treasurer; W. M. Peltier, secretary; and Oscar Anderson, vice president. All are heavy investors in this section of the territory, and vitally interested in the progress of Anchorage and vicinity.
 The Times is owned solely by citi- zens and business men of Anchorage and the railroad belt, who have in- terested themselves in the undertak- ing for the purpose of ensuring a fair and impartial press, and paper which will be credit to the town of Anchorage. The Times will have no axes to grind. It will not repre- sent any particular faction nor seek to advance the interests of any one individual. It will consistently sup port all constructive measures which will advance the prosperity or inter- ests of this section of Alaska, and will endeavor at all times to be fair and impartial in all matters which may from time to time come up for discussion. Fairness to all'' will be the watchward and will dictate the editorial policy.
 Anchorage should never be divided into factions. No town divided in itself can expect to make progress. It was with the end in view of pre- venting any such possibility that the stockholders of The Times organized their company. It contains members representing practically every issue republicans alike hold stock, and no particular group of individuals con- trols The Times policy.
 In the fullest sense of the word it is hoped to make The Times a pa per for the people, Constructive crit icism will always be welcomed, and no one will be refused an audience on matters affecting this section of the territory. Signed articles of a constructive nature will always re-

WAR DEBTS AND PEACE

William Jennings Bryan advises cancellation of the S4OO0,OO0, ,OOO French war debt. Secretary Mellon, head of the treasury department, sees nothing in the arguments at home or abroad in favor of wiping out the debt as contribution to the common cause" Bryan's view is that the debt should be cancelled in the interests of world peace, and Mellcn's is that should be paid ii the interests of national good faith and honesty.
 The issues of war debts has been so thoroughly discussed that argu- ments for and against are stock ar guments. A member of the French chamber of deputies recently made the most impassioned argument that has been presented in favor of what virtually amounted to default He pointed to Frances tremendous sac rifices and declared that the pOilus were holding back the foe while Am erica was preparing, and in a frenzy of oratory demanded to know wheth- CT the value of gold was to be set higher than the value of human life. His colleagues cheered him to the

quidating the war debts could British money be restored to par. The Brit ish have made far greater financial sacrifices since the war than the French. Their taxes are much high CT, despite the fact that they face a constant problem incident to the un- employment of more than 100000 men. But the world at large has greater admiration for the Spartan po- Hey of the British than for the vacil- lating attitude of the French.
 It is time for the French politicians to tell their people what everybody else knows-that only by honoring their debts can they maintain a place in the good opinion of the world and, what may be equally important to them, preserve their credit abroad. {

echo, showing where their real sen- timents were, although day or two later the chamber of deputies, by a rather narrow margin, voted down a proposal to post" his speech, thus failing to set the seal of approval upon it. The French thus favor re- pudiation, but hesitate to vote open ly for repudiatiOn.
 MT. Bryan does not question the justness of the debt, from the Amer ican standpoint, but does question the propriety of collecting it, saying that the war debts never will be paid any how, that the United States may be dragged as an innocent party into an- other European war, and that to tear up the s4OOO,OOO,0OO in I. o. us would be a gracious act on the part of the American people and constitute peace gesture worth S4,000,000,0O0
 We are dealing with fine points of responsibility when we go into the question as to whether France saved the United States from the common foe" or whether the United States saved France, yet it will hardly be contradicted that the victory of Ger many would have been infinitely worse for France than for this coun- try had the United States stayed out of the war France would be in worse plight than Germany is today, while the United States would have remain ed a great world power. But apart from all that, the really important thing is that France made it's borrow ings from the American people with the implied understanding to the highest code of international morality-that the money would be repaid. France made great sacrifices, but also France received great materi- al returns, such as Alsace-Lorraine and valuable other German assets, while the United States got nothing. France, with the allies, removed the standing menace of German militar- ism, real peril, and not only reduced powerful competitor but immediate ly rose to a commanding position of leadership on the continent. France was martyr, but to pose as a mar tyr and attempt to capitalize martyr dom only invites the raising of inter- national eyebrows.
 The real trouble with France is that it politicians have refused to tell their people the truth, so that whether there is ability to pay or not, there is not the will to pay. Great Britain had the will as we'll as the ability to pay, for it was realized only by li-
