THE PLANK ON DEBTS

Here is what the Republican plank on foreign debts said in 1924:
 Tn fulfillment of our pledge
 in the national platform of
 1920, we have steadily refused
 to consider cancellation of for
 eign debts ... We stand for
 settlements with all debtor-
 countries similar in character
 with our debt agreement with
 Great Britain .... with a defin-
 ite obligation of ultimate pay
 ment in full"
 Sounds like an ultimatum to the whole of Europe. No cancellation" ultimate payment in full"-brave words!
 Since that plank was written ten debt fund agreements with foreign governments have been negotiated. And here is the per cent of the orig inal debts remitted:
 Great Britain, Latvia, Esthonia and Poland, slightly over 19 percent: Lithuania, 2O.1 per cent: Rumania, 25.1 Czechoslvakia. 25.7; France 52.s: Belgium. 53.5: Jugoslavia. 69.7; Italy, 75.4.
 The settlements with France and Jugoslavia are not ratified.
 This little reference to the in Hated promise of the platform and the subsequent performance is not intended to censure the perform ance. It merely seeks to point out that the boys of the national con- ycntion were intended upon looking brave and adamant in regard 10 col lecting the peoples money; when as 8 matter of fact they probably had no intention even at that time to be as cold-hcarted as that with respect to impoverished Europe.
 The policy of settling foreign debts upon ability to pay wae adopted after the election. Whx happens after an election has noth- ing in common with what is bally. hoocd before the election.
