great trading bases in the islands for

"'Let US fetch Rhodes and get

"Mr. Rhodes came into the

for a full hour on the land and
it's people and his own schemes.
We soon forgot the heat under

To push the boundaries of the
British Empire north into the

whole vast continent by rail-

was the empire dream of Cecil

Our Foreign Creditors-What Can They Gain
by War on Us?

Admiral Fiske believes that
the war against us will start
with Japan over the Philippine
Islands. He thinks that then
our foreign creditors will leap
into the fray in order to get
free of their debts to us.
What do they owe us?
About IL billion dollars in old
war debts and about Is billions
in loans made since the war
ended.
If they should crush us in bat
tie Admiral Fiske believes they
can dictate as among the terms
of peace the cancellation of all
debts.
To do this, of course, they
must first win the war.
Next they must cohslder
whether it will be cheaper to
whip the United States or to pay
her. Can the job be done for
less sum than it took to whip
Germany? Will the nations thus
leagued against us be better off
with their debts Cancelled, but a
new load of debts upon them?
Admiral Fiske is one of the
foremost authorities on the sub
ject of war in this country. The
views expressed here are, of
course, his own and not those
either of the Navy, the Govern
ment Or The Star.
