In July, 1929 ten years later, the public debt of the United States had been decreased to s16.931, ,0Ss,4S4.
 Meantime the indebtedness of for eign nations had increased to more than $l1,S25,ooo,00O.
 The increase in foreign indebted ness to the government was due in part to additional cash advances made after June 30, 1919; also in part 10 the acceptance of new for eign obligations in exchange for sur plus American war supplies; and also in part to the accrual of inter- est on outstanding obligations.

THE WAR DEBTS FIGURES UP-TO-DATE

Frequently one reads letters in the New York papers advocating that the United States government can- eel the war debts owing us from abroad. In such letters the nations which had joined to fight the cen- tral empires are referred to as "our allies"
 And then one reads letters-and also speeches by U. S. senators-to the contrary. These usually refer to the nations owing money as "our associates" in the war.
 There is a difference between be- ing an ally" and an associate" We certainly were not one of the so- called allies. but went into the war as an associate of the allies. We en- tered it on our own hook and then joined forces with those already fighting, and ultimately we made a separate peace treaty.
 Manifestly, the government of the United States sees a difference be- tween having been an ally and an associate. There are the moneys owing us from the debtor nations, for instance. These sums are being considered as owing us as result of loans to associate nation. Their can- cellation would be much easier 10 bring about had the public been coached from the start of the late unpleasantness to regard the na- tions with whom we fought as strict allies.

tacks made on the scab cars when
they had tried to run them earlier
in the strike.
At the same time, U. S. Marshal

they are prepared to adopt when he
