When a nation Is plunging
ahead into q new and therefore
uncomfortable era, its people
develop new and warm affec.
tions for the familiar marks and
scenes of their past. Thus they
stabilize themselves and march
into the future with renewed as
surance of the heritages they
had taken for granted in the
placid days when 6 jer cent was
a low rate of interest and there
was q huge roast for dinner ev-

Such a landmark Is the City OF
Philadelphia. II ever q great
city was taken for granted by
those who lived in it, summed
by travellers, the butt of unkind

Some children are subject to

such an attack to the family ply

IN WASHINGTON .

balances In the next few years.
Well. instead OF this gift the
British will take home with
them, subject to congressional
a 55-year loan for $4,-
400, 200, 900. 1t isn't a loan. but a
credit made up Of two items.
Any time up to December 81.
1881, the British may ask for
credit up to $3.50, 900, 900. In
addition, war surpluses and
lend-lease goods in the pipeline
to Britain and not loaded OH
ships on VJ-Day are turned over
to the British for $3.50, 100000.
INTEREST WILL COVER COST
TO U. S. GOVERNMENT
WHEN the British had accept
ed the u. S. idea Of how much
they needed, the British wanted
1t interest free. Some more Of the
shirt was saved here. The in
terest rate will be a little less
than 2 per cent or about what
the u. S. government has to pay
for the money it borrows to keep
going.
This credit to the British,
however. is not figured as
bankers loan on which a profit
will be realized.
The arguments In favor of
granting the loan run something
like this:
The amount OF money isn't
really large, in comparison to
war costs. Before VE-Day, the
war was costing the United
States $50 million dollars a day.
The $3,750,000, 900 loan repre-
sents Is days war cost. Also,
the British may not need all
Of this sum. The total amount
of lend-lease supplies given 10
the British to shoot at the Ger
mans and Japs was valued at
II billion dollars. Settling that
for a mere $50 million dollars
may seem like q good bargain
for the British, and it is. But it
Is not new money that Is being
loaned the British and II Is a
reduction in U. S. war costs by
that amount. Selling these goods
as surpluses might not bring in
any more.
BRITAIN NEEDS THE MONEY
FOR TRADE BALANCE
THE British say they do not
need the money for reconstruc-
tion of war-damaged cities nor
to run the government. Those
things they will finance at
home. The British do need the
money to make up the differ
ence between their imports will
have to be and what their fallen
exports will probably be.
Suppose the loan were not
made. The British could prob
ably get by without it, but they
could do 50 only by making
trade agreements with other
countries for the things they
now will buy from the United
States, or by putting in q new
British Empire preference agree
ment that would effectively
freeze the United States out Of
trade with British dominion!
and colonies.
BY making the loan, the Unit
ed States stands to gain trade
with the whole British Empire
These changes in British trade
practises aren't going to be made
overnight, but they will come
in time.
It may be argued that witt
the British labor government
now planning on Matchmaking
her steel and coal industries, the
British are adopting a policy o.

That will shut out trade witt

.xisted for some time and to have been revealed to
ihe public only now
General Hurley complained Of the long lapse OF
kine durnq which there was public statement on
mir poIicv toward China from Presidents Roosevelt
md Trunon or Secretaries Hull, Stettinus and
evrnes Yet he also spoke wormy OF the support thot
these five men had given him while he was onbosso-
t3or to China.
