Furnish Money for Payments.

As for allied debts to us, we are
furnishing the debtors with the money
to pay the small annual installments
due on the reduced debts and at the
same time lending them vast sums
for their own purposes in return for
their payments to our Urea Sury and
| their promises to pay in the future.
The difference lies in the fact that the
conquerors of Germany have learned
that they cannot compel her to pay
beyond the sums she finds it profit
able to remit, while Congress still
thinks that there is some fashion in
which it can Coerce foreign debtor
nations.
Italy owed us 80 900 900 900; she
came over here and had three-uuarters

extending over two generations and
| in return borrowed 500 100000 at
once. She got what she was after and
if Congress chooses to excuse her
from payments by rejecting the bar
gain, she is just that much to the
good. That is the sum and substance
of the matter. AS to whether Italy
| repays the old or the new debt. that

Cites Possible Rejection.

If. 10 years hence, Italy no longer
desires to make loans in our market
if her capacity to pay seems to her
people insufficient. if her people, for
example should refuse to pay because
the loan was made to Il Mussolini
government which had been over
thrown, what on earth could Congress
do about it? What that the allies
have not tried and failed in the
case of Germany? Nothing patiently,
for the supreme delusion in the case
of repara tions and debts lies in the
assumption that power lies in the
hands of the creditor. 1t is the debtor
who is king and will remain so.
You cannot compel the debtor ma
tions to pay: you can only get them to
acknowledge the old obligation by
bribing them with the immediate
satisfaction of some present necessity.
That is what the allies are doing with
Germany; that is what we are doing
with our continental debtors.

tain quantities of organic minerals
are necessary to maintain healthy
cattle and fowls, if heavy milk and
egg production is to be expected Of
them. This mineral mixture helps
to replace in their bodies, what the
strain of heavy production depletes.
1t is also very good for hogs and

be used by all mixers and feeders.
