We Have a Huge
Deficit Ourselves.

We have a huge deficit
ourselves.
To meet it we have re-
duced our war budget-as
Europe can if she will.
To meet it we have levied
the highest and most bur-
densome taxes in our his
tory-as some Of the debtor
nations have not.
If the payments due
from these numerous ma
tions will wreck the finan-
cial fabric of these coun-
tries, what will the pay
ment of all the debts of all
the nations by us do to the
financial fabric here?
Thus the State Depart
ment has informed these
nations that any repara-
tions a g reement entered
into by them, conditioned
on passing the loss to us,
will not stand with us. So
that is that.

You're sure ELSIE ROBINSON
that you can never again be
as free as other people, never
as proud.
If you could only erase that
memory from your own mind
and the minds of those who
know about it! If you could
only free yourself!
YOU CAN!
You can free yourself from
any mistake.
You can live as proudly and
as hopefully as though you had
never committed that mistake.
Face the Facts
But you can't do it by being
sorry, or by trying to run away
and forget.
IF YOU WANT TO FREE
YOURSELF FROM A MIS-
TAKE, YOU MUST FACE 1T;
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND IT;
YOU MUST RESPECT IT!
But how can you respect a
wrong deed? )
You need not respect a
wrong deed; BUT YOU CAN
RESPECT THE MOTIVES
THAT LAY BEHIND THAT
WRONG DEED.
You were weak, and selfish,
and silly; perhaps, even vicious.
Very well: acknowledge that.
Be sorry for that. But don't
stop there Go on. Tell the
whole truth to yourself about
yourself. Don't lie, or evade,
or make excuses. Simply say:
"Yes, I was weak, but I want
ed to be strong. I was silly, but
1 wanted to be wise. I was
vicious, but I wanted to be good.
I started straight, but somehow
I got muddled; and my records
a mess. BUT I MYSELF AM
NOT A MESS!
There were fine qualities in
me when I started. There are
fine qualities in me now. I've
done foolish things. and I'm
ashamed, but I'm not going to
let shame get me down. If I
have reasons for shame, I also
have reason for pride. If I blum
dered in living, I at least tried
to live; and perhaps, next tipe,
I won't blunder."
Say that to yourself. Stop
your wallowing. Stop your re-
penting. Stand up like a man

Three Shafts of Light
In the Gloom
CZnude II. ROZnerS
Claude G.. BOWers.

MATTERS of vital impor-
N1 tance to the American
people are now to the fore
in Government. We are be-
ginning to face realities on
prohibition; Congress is &C
tually acting on unemploy-
ment, and we are hearing
plain speaking on the Euro
pean plan for the transfer Of
the debts of other nations to
ourselves.
A stunning blow has just
been dealt the debt transfer
conspiracy by Calvin Cool
idge in the Cosmopolitan
Magazine. He is a realist.
Every point he makes against
the plan has been. made in
these columns innumerable
times, but he is a public man
who has never been charged
with demagogy and who has
a popular reputation for
mon sense and the
homely virtue of honesty.
Having dealt with these
debts, while in office, he is
able authoritatively to smash
some of the legends that have
been built up by the propa-
gandists. To some of us,
with an old-fashioned con-
ception of the sanctity of a
contract, it is encouraging to
find a public man, reporting
on the debt settlement some
would lightly set aside, and
reminding us of our opinion
of it when made:
''It is a recommitment of
the English-speaking world
to the validity of a con-
tract"
The Washington times., 1932-06-21
The Three Shafts
Of Light

A definite understanding
on the transfer Of the debts
definite progress on the
prohibition problem-these
mark progress through the
darkness. And we are MAX
ing progress, too, on the
most vital human problem
of our day-that of unem-
ployment relief. The House
has passed the Garner bill;
the Senate has acted ia
vorably on the Wagner bill;
and a bill will ultimately
emerge providing for a pro-
gram of public works fl
nanced by a bond issue.
Not only humanity, but
national security and trade
revival are involved in this
program. Mayor Murphy, of
Detroit, is right when he
says there is something in
defensible and rotten in a
government that remains in
different to the suffering
and starvation of 100000
breadwinners and their fami-
lies.
Thus. in the darkness,
these three shafts of light.
Perhaps suffering and
humility will restore us to
sanity and liberty, justice
and common sense.

The Debts We Are
Asked to "Forgive"

Especially clarifying is his
joust with the fallacy that
the money owing us was
loaned during the war and
for war purposes, and that
our late entry in the war i'm
poses upon us the burden of
taking over the debts as our
contribution to a common
cause. He shows that under
the settlement all debts con-
tracted during the war have,
with few exceptions, been
wiped out.
With the exception of five
nations, "the settlements
were entirely for debts con-
tracted after the armistice. -
In the case of three of the
five all debts contracted be-
fore the armistice were wiped
out by the settlements.
Through our unprecedented
generosity the actual war
debt of France was reduced
to but $26,O00,OO0.
This leaves England alone
owing any considerable sum
on money loaned for war pur-
poses. The greater part Of
the debts we are asked to
forgive' by assuming them
ourselves are on money bor-
rowed after the war for re-
construction purposes.

AnOther's Influence

@AAA~SAASA AAA1AAO1ANO
Does someone exert a strong
influence on your life?
You may or you may not
know that you are swayed by
another's opinion.
You probably have an ideal,
but does he or she represent
a high type of man or woman?
Frequently this influencing
type is one whose manners and
morals are a little too free in
latitude but appeals to you
because so free.
You say this person seems
to have a good standing and
yet has not as much conscience
as you about how to have a
good time.
You have "inhibitions" and
you feel that you must get
over them.
Possibly your friend is try
ing to cure you of such silly
gay ninety" ideas of how to
have an evening of pleasure.
1t may be that the one who
has so much influence with
you is of such a good family
or such financial standing that
you feel that what they can
do is certainly quite all right
for you.
Don't be miSled.
If your reputation is not
established, a misstep may
cause you to be oStracized by
thoSa you wish for friends.
And then again the one
tested who falls, never has the
respect Of the one who caused
the fall.

Mr.. Coolidge
Makes It Plain

With characteristic Yankee
directness and bluntness, he
makes it plain, as McAdoo,
who loaned the money, has
in his autobiography, that
when the money was loaned
reparations had nothing to
do with it.
We did not borrow the
money from our own people
to loan to Europe with the
understanding that unless
Germany paid the repara-
tions Europe could repudiate
the debts and put the burden
on our taxpayers.
McAdoo has said that in
selling the bonds to get the
money to loan to Europe he
had to explain minutely, in
every speech, that the money
was to be repaid by the ma
tions that were to get the
use of il. And Coolidge
says:
I'VE would not have ad-
vanced it to the allies if
they had intimated we were
to collect it from anyone
else."
And then he adds some
thing the propagandists

Ruin to Europe If We
Collect the Debts?

@SNAA w 0UAOPO ~ W.
Collect the Debts?
Ruin to Europe if we col
lect the debts? He gives a
sufficient answer:
'No European nation, ex-
cept Britain, had (at the
time of the settlement)
paid an amount that could
be said to have any effect
on their national finances,
and her payments were but
about 4 per cent of her an
nual budget"
Payments now would mean
but from l to 3 per cent of
the annual budgets of all
these natiOns-and this l to
3 per cent, we are assured
by the propagandists, is
threatening the collapse of
the financial fabric of Eu-
rope.
When from 60 to so per
cent of these budgets go to
war purposes, a hard-headed
Yankee like Coolidge sus-
poets that by taking the l
to 3 per cent from the war
appropriations the debts can
be paid without doing any
damage to the armies and
navies of the nations in

At the Movies
PARAMOUNT THEATRE

1T doesn't make any difference
whether the character is hero or
homewrecker, a coward or a thief-So
long as it's interesting"
This is Robert Montgomeryis an
swer to the question of what roles he
prefers to play.
This fellow is an engaging enough
character" Montgomery said, dis
cussing the part. Hes been raised
to consider the world his oyster-if he
can open it. He starts out to make
money the easiest way-and there's a
lot in his character that one doesn't
admire. But when the real test comes
he finds he can't lie to the woman
who's been loyal to him and I guess
that makes him pretty good guy af-
ter all.
1--WE always liked characters best
that make you wonder what they'd do
next-characters that keep your in
terest alive. If the hero is perfect
you know his exact reaction to every
situation; he can do no wrong, but
seldom is he really interesting. But
character with faults or real hui
manity might do anything at any
time, and it is only in crisis that it
can really be discovered if he is basil
cally hero or villain. In But
the Flesh Is Weak" there is just such
crisis. The hero goes along in a very
unheroic manner until the big test
comes, then we can discover, in the
climax, whether he is really all that
he should be-"

New York Decision
Scored by Dempsey

Los Angeles, June 23.-{P)-
Disapproval OF the decision which
transferred the heavyweight title
from Max Schmeling to Jack
Sharkey was expressed here by
Jack Dempsey, former champion.
LAS 1 get it," said Dempsey,
who beat Sharkey in 1927, "Shar-
key was pasted good. The ver-
dict doesn't do him bit of good
and it does the German no harm.
I believe Sharkey emerges more
unpopular than ever. Not that
it is his fault, but the experts
seem to be unanimous in stating
the wrong mans hand was raised.
Il know better than to judge
fights from radio description,
but when SO many fight writer's
string with Schmeling, it looks
like somebody booted one along
the line"
If Something's manager was
suspicious of Gunboat Smith in
the referees role, why did he
stand for him? He says he knew
a week ago that something was
wrong. Well, then, why didn't
he stand pat against such a re-
fierce and refuse to go on? That's
what I would have DONE"
