A NY debtor has right
"A to discuss terms Of
payment with a creditor,
and no debtor can be ex-
pected to do the impossible.
But where a creditor has
numerous debtors he expects
to deal with them separately
in reference to their indi-
vidual capacity to pay. This
county will thus deal with
its debtors.
New comes from Paris an
amazing story to the effect
that our debtors, to whom
we have sacrificed hundreds
of millions that must be
made up from our own
pockets, have agreed to
"demand" further reduc-
tions, and that they are to
act in concert-move in solid
phalanx against the United
States with the understand
ing that if a revision agreed
upon lis unsatisfactory to
anv of them. all Of them
will refuse. This means, we
assume, a Holy Alliance for
Default.
It is a rather amazing
position for England to take,
but if she wants to make
that kind of bed for her.
self she will have to sleep
in it.
An individual has ten
debtors. One is utterly
without funds; another has
funds, and can pay by cut
ting down MS own expense
for hunting trips; another
can easily pay and, indeed,
is rich. The creditor deal
ing with these would give a
postponement to the first
and merely demand pay
ment from the third.
But they get together and
the agreement is reached
that if anything is done for
the first that is not done for
the third, none Of them will
pay. We wonder what
would happen with that
agreement in a court OF
justice.
But that, according to the
report from Paris, is what
the debtor nations have de-
termined upon.

American Propagandist
With Us Again
The propagandists were
not foreigners entirely by
any means. How many times
in those days have we heard
Americans denouncing their
own country because it
would not, help England or
would not help France! The
foreign propagandists did
not denounce us, express con-
tempt for us, for that would
have defeated their purpose.
They left that to the Ameri-
can propagandist who did
his work with zest.
Today the American prop
agandist is with us again.
But now even they do not 60
beyond the foreign propa-
gandist in bitter denuncia-
tion of the American point
of view.
And so we have often won
dered in the last two years
if we did not blunder seri-
ously in going into the war
at all. After all, it was a
European quarrel; we know
it now. We went in to ad-
vance certain ideals. We
were to end war. We were
to put a period to the COM
petitive building Of arma-
ment which endangers peace.
And an agreement actually
was reached when Germany
was disarmed that the other
nations in Europe would
greatly reduce their arma-
ment.
They have done nothing of
the sort.
They are spending so
many billions preparing for
war that they cannot afford
to pay their debts.
By keeping faith, and re-
ducing their appropriations
for war purposes ever so lit
tie, all of them, with the pos
sible exception Of a few of
the weaker nations, could
easily pay their debts.
But they don't want to
keep their word. They do
not want to reduce their
war budgets. And so they
want us to pay their debts
so they will have more or
as much, to spend in pre-
pairing for the next war.
And they tell us we are a
race of Shylocks, ungenerous
despite our appalling con-
Gessions, ignorant, selfish,
vicious, hateful and the

gandists among Americans

talk of some concessions to
them, the English respond
they will accept no conces-
sions unless we make more
concessions to prosperous
France.
Let no one tell us now
there is no understanding,
very definite, in nature, be-
tween England and France,
to make common cause
