1t would be difficult to imagine
anything more fantastic than the agl-
Ia ton TOW going on against the
italian debt settlement in Congress,
fantastic because it totally ignores
the single explanation of this and
all other debt settlements. Italy sent
delegation TO the United States
and concluded debt arrangement
for one reason-namely, the necessity
of raising the ban against private
loans to Italy. which was maintained
by the State Department pending
such q course.
Italy needed money, a good deal OF
money. immediately. and the single
opportunity Of obtaining il was in the
American market. Hence the Nolpf
excursion. But Italy now has obtained
tire thing she sought. \ single loan
Of 100000 900 and various other
smaller but considera BILE loans have
been made in New York In "a word,
Italy now has obtained the thing she
desired. Ii. nevertheless, Congress
repudiates the debt settlement then
there is no immediate-conceiv bly,,
no ultimate-temptatio or incentive
to the Italians to come back

or unfair viewed from an American
standpoint, but it represents what we
may get, all We can get, out of d
transaction in which the other party
already has harvested its profit. If
that agreement goes by the board,
Italy VIII have the money she want
ed, and We shall have not even the
promise To pay sums which strike
many legislators as too small.
Furthermore, If the basis of rejec-
ton is made the dislike OF the MuSSo-
linl regime there is a further reason
why Fascist Italy will not return 10
America to make a new debt funding
arrangement. Only in the event of
there arising d new Italian need to
borrow here would there be the small
est reason on the Italian side Tor le-
neWinS negotiations. Moreover, the
fact is that the terms which strike
Congress as excessively generous
seem to Italians onerous in the eX-
IRENE and only justifiable by reason
OF the absolute necessity of Italy to
get money.

posed upon Amerlc3nS Tor some
product like rubber.
1t may be a good thing To get the
debts to the United States Treasury
funded and to have the tax burden
thus reduced by annual debt pay
ments. But in reality what is hap
pening Is not that the nation as a
whole is being paid money, but that
debtor nations are borrowing from
private American sources and turning
into the Treasury q small fraction of
their borrowings. Nolpi, for example.
having borrowed $l00.000,0 900 from
Wall street, paid the Treasury
IS. 900 900. The net result of the
transaction was to increase Italian
debt to the United States by $685.

tlement is rejected. there could be
nothing for il but to return the
s. 900, 900, ana Italy would be $780,
GOO. 600 10 the good.
Ii there had been an absolute agree
ment between Congress and the
executive branch OF our Government
from the start. covering the question
of all loans private and public, if the
agreement had made it Impossible for
foreign nations To get any money here

ratified by Congress, then control
fact Is that the countries. having
made agreements with the executive
branch have gotten the money they
wanted in advance of any congress

reference now can result only in alb
solving the debtor nations from even

several settlements.
Glad of Opposition.
Every Italian from Mussolini down
must now view with enthusiasm the

settlement, because it is, in reality.

cation now in existence regulating
future payments. Not until Italy
needs more money, If she does. VIII
she have any need TO make a new ar
rangement and meanwhile she will be
under no obligation To pay anything
on the governmental debt.
AS for the French, if The Italian
arrangement is rejected then there
will lie an immediate vindication of
the text of CaillauX- namely, that no
settlement is possible with the United
States and all attempts to make such
settlements are foolish, because of the
attitude Of Congress. At bottom the
error in the whole debt affair, so far
rs Congress is concerned, lies in the
cool assumption that because certain
nations borrow money from US during
the war we can now compel them to
repay on our terms.
The fact is that repayment will be
based. not upon the past borrowing.

fits TO the debtor nation of signing

the encounter.
Lipford then took her home but
she decided that she should have
stayed at the hospital, so back they
went. She displayed her toothleas
mouth to the doctors, who went
into consultation to decide whether
she had had any teeth for the past
half century. The result of the
consultation was negative so they
put her to bed and treated her for
a sprained ankle.
X But short time had elapsed,
however, before she called for her
pipe and tobacco. Informed that
smoking was prohibited, she de-
cided that she would take chew
instead.
That also was denied her and
with the denial went all regard that
she had ever had for hospitals. If
she can't smoke or chew either

are having a hard time holding her,

Labor Day Idea Sprang
From Big Parade
n N. Y. III 1882

Labor Day, legal holiday
in virtually all the States, and
the District 81 Columbia, was
the outgrowth Of . monster
parade and celebration in New
York City in 1882 when the
knights Of Labor were holding
their general assembly in the
month of September.
On the fifth Of the month,
the Central Labor Union Of
New York City organized the
parade as q feature of the
convention. The following year
3 parade was held there on the
first Monday of September, and
in 1884 at the convention Of
the Knights of Labor resolu-
ton was adopted to the effect
that all future parades should
be held on the first Monday of
that month, and the day be
known as Labor Day. Work
ingmen's organizations all over
the country then began agita-
ton to get all State legisla-
lures to declare Labor Day a
legal holiday.
Colorado was the first State
to take such action, which was
on March Is, 1887. New Jer-
sey, New York and Massachu-
etts quickly followed, and by
1903 nearly all the States had
fallen in line.
