Millions to BE Spent

I was not strictly true that the French were UNI

taking deep breath which to be spent pronot-
ing good will in the United States through colored,
favored dispatches and magazine articles.
Ordinarily, the people of France would draw several
deep breathS, to say nothing of fetching few signs
and some Shrieks over the proposition of spending
a million dollars merely 20 make somebody like them.
But, if million spent propaganda would do the
work of 10 million paid toward the debt, the propa-
ganda bill bargain, leaving a saving of Is mil
lion.
They could have raised the l9 million but the
way they figured it out that they were going
to repuGiate sometime it very silly to waste any
more money on payments.
A few Frenchmen advanced strange notion that
they ought to keep paying long they could
and repudiate only when they unable to go any
further. They said mere money was just trash COM
pared to the good name of the Republique. but

you had money you didn't need good name and if
you broke good name was useless anyway.
All the time they going ahead with the

she was costing Sc million to build and the upkeep.
once they get themselves stuck with her, would cost
millions every years. She couldn't possibly pay
her cost and keep because there weren't enough pas
Sengers with that much money any more. And any
way, the British determined not to be outdone,

size which would in half the trade available for
