COURTING UNCLE SHYLOCK
{ Riverside Press

NhlNtISIQe IcSSJ
Many British visitors to the United
States have found things to praise,
though usually in thinly disguised tone
Of patronage But the majority Of them
from Mrs. Trollope and Charles Dickens
down to Harold LASH have not tried to
disguise their aversion to our vulgar
money making propensity. There was no
change in the tune after we did the
Good Samaritan act for the empire in
1917-18. Instead Of being thanked for
the war loan, we were condemned as
Shylockian for asking its repayment.
But the old loan is now a story Of dol
lars over the dam. From reputation
of it our Anglo cousins have progressed
to request for new loan and finally to
demand for an outright gift Of the re-
cent negotiations, Herbert Corey writes
in Nations Business:
Some of the British borrowers have
shown a disposition to bang their fists
on the treasury table and ask when they
re going to be paid. There are congress
men who say that Britain might offer
as security for the repayment Of any
money she may borrow that as vet un-
revealed sum We must pay for the 99-year
lease Of the caribbean Island bases.
which most of us thought had been paid
for by the transfer of destroyers. The
temperature has been rising ever since a
responsible British official formally stat
ed that not an inch of soil shall be sur
rendered, come what may, which sug-
gested to fairly vigorous members of
congress that the United States is being
asked to go to war not so much to protect
democracy as to defend the integrity of
the British Empire"

JugosIav Crisis
AT Breaking Point

BERLIN. April 5. (UP)-The Ger
man-Jugoslay crisis appeared at the
breaking point tonight when the
German press in front page head
lines charged that Jugoslavia was
preparing for war and cannot be
regarded as fit to be part of the
new order in Europe.
In the first editorial published
since the beginning of the Jugoslav
crisis, all afternoon newspapers de-
nounced the Belgraoe government
and agreed that it could not fit
into the new Europe
Authorized sources said that the
crisis was so grave that further
deterioration was scarcely within
the bounds of possibility and this
idea is now being conveyed to the
German public.
At the same time further reports
of alleged atrocities against Ger
mans in Jugoslavia were publish
ed.

WASHINGTON. April 5 - That
little Job OF buying new summer
shirts. pants, mats, socks, shoes and
underwear Tor this mans army OF
l.40O.000 men is one of the more
interesting chores ot the defense
effort.
Here's how il figures out. on the
basis Of contracts let: TO keep ev-
cry soldier cleanly and decently
clothed and in his right mind. it
takes l. pairs Of pants, seven shirts
tive hats. six pair OF shoes and 26
rairs of socks q year. Total figures
reach astronomical numbers like
these: L million pairs OF pants,
10 million shirts, million hats,
g million pairs Of shoes and 81
million pair of socks.
At first glance. il may seem a
little silly to order six pairs of
shoes for one soldier for one year.
but army experience has proved
that every draftoe gets two pairs of
shoes. one for parade and one for
field DUTY. During his year of
service, he will wear out these
two. and three pairs more. Besides
that. there must be another pair
for emergency reserve in camp, or
on the way 10 camp.
On the theory that new men
will be called out as the first
drattee5 complete their year of
training. there must really be two
pairs mere in sight. one in a base
depot. and another in manufacture
