countries have complicated the prob

nations. In voicing his opposition to
debt cancellation, Senator Watson de-
clared these international bankers as
well as others must certainly see by
this time that the American people al
most as unit are opposed to the can
collation. of one penny of those debts
and that, if they are not paid in the
future it will be because they have been
repudiated by the nations that owe
them and not by reason of their cancel
lation by the American Government.
I'VE shall continue to help in the fu-
ture, however, whenever the national
conscience shall be stirred and the ma
ticnal sense of Justice aroused" Sen
ator Watson said. But when the time
comes, it will be for us to say how We
shall help Europe, by what method We
hall help, and how much We shall help.
1t will not be for any super government
set up on the other side of the ocean
composed of nations hostile TO us in
our every phase of national life to set

we shall determine for ourselves, free

We have been in the past" Senator
Watson added, I'VE shall avoid the en-
tangling alliance proposed for us by
our Democratic friends in suggesting
an international conference to deter

cur tariff is lowered so as to permit
an influx of cheap goods from abroad
how can the wages of Americans be
increased or how can the unemployed
