DEBT GAKCELLATION
STRONGLY OPPOSED
MAN WHO BROUGHT ABOUT AND THEN DOMINATED
MUDANIA CONFERENCE.
Europe Should Pay, Says
Representative Burton.
CURB ON WAR IS WANTED
Loans Declared Made With Great
Sacrifice and With Expec
tation of Remission.
"WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 9. A
strong declaration was made today
bv ReDresentative Theodore E. Bur
ton, republican, Ohio, a member of
the allied debt commission, against
any cancellation of the debts of
.European nations to the United
States. His statement to this effect,
made unanimous the opiniori on the
question of all-Ameriean delegates
to the inter-parliamentary union
conference at Vienna, a number of
senators who, with Representative
Burton, toured Kurope and con
ferred with leading statesmen and
publicists, having previously de
clared that the allied debts should
not be remitted.
Representative Burton conferred
with President Harding today, and
after campaigning in Ohio, will re
turn here for the meeting this
month of the ajlied debt commission
with ureat Britain s nnanciai rep
' resentatives.
Three Reasons Advanced,
"There are many reasons why the
allied debts should not be cancelled,"
said Representative Burton. "First,
they are binding obligations, a na
tional debt, and their cancellation
would throw trouble on national
debts, which is an all-important
part of all commercial and indus
trial relations.
"Second, these loans were not
made from an abounding revenue,
but were obtained by borrowing
from people with, no small diffi
culty and with a great deal of. sac
rifice. There was no thought at
the time that they should not be
repaid and indeed, the law under
which our people took our bonds
provided for their exchange in kind.
"Third, the United States is sin
cerely interested in world peace.
If these debts were cancelled, it
would lead to an expansion of the
military and naval establishments
of other countries and thereby bring
a threat of war and all the waste it
entails.
. "Fourth, proportionately, the in
crease in the debt of the United
States as a result of the war is
greater than that of the borrower.
The increase in taxation also is
proportionately greater.
Kurt her Loans Opposed.
"Further, while we recognize that
on sacrifices made by the allies
during the war, their danger was
more imminent and we have gained
no territory anu are not expecting
any large indemnities. The gen
eral feeling abroad is that these
debts ought to be paid."
Air. Burton also declared against
any further national loans abroad,
adding that private credits for
American raw materials might and!
should be arranged, but that the
United States treasury should not
be called upon, again to aid any
foreign country except possibly for
human relief.
He did not appear to be impressed j
by the league of nations, several i
of whose meetings at Geneva he I
attended. j
"It seemed like a big debating :
society, ' he said, declaring that a
number of irrelevant and academic
questions seemed to be receiving
undue attention. There was as lit
tle probability now as ever, he
added, that the United States would
become'a member of the league, but
he expressed the belief that the
United States should have represen
tation on a world court with limited
jurisdiction and one not under con
trol of the league. An effort is be
ing made, he said, to detach the
present international court from the
league.

ing of the annual convention of the

Chairman John Barton Payrre all of
the organization's funds and facili
ties to aid near eastern sufferers.

sage of greetings, expressed grati
fication at the steps taken to meet
the emergency for which a national
appeal for funds was authorized
yesterday by the president.
Chairman Payne aid no appro
priation of funds could be made,
because the amount required was
unknown, but the committee di
rected him to use such funds as he
deemed advisable.
The situation of disabled ex-service
men was also widely discussed

speakers voiced! dissatisfaction with
the work of the veterans' Dureau
the gratification of a number of Red
Cross chapters was expressed by
other speakers, who lauded the ef
forts of the bureau to co-operate in
the relief work.

cent visit to European Red Cross
centers and declared that whatever
opinion was held in foreign coun
tries of the American official pol
icies, there was unanimity every
where on the splendid work

Mr. Pavne to express to the conven
tion "the verv cordial greeting and
satisfaction that I feel in knowing
of this annual session of the dele
gates from the various chapters
which cave to the American Red
Cross its unfailing strength and
readiness for every emergency."
"It has been most gratifying to
learn that your executive committee
this morning has appropriated
funds and hastaken steps to render
efficient relief in the great and ap
pealing emergency which has arisen
in the near east," the president con
tinued. "The readiness of your or
ganization to meet this most ais
tressing situation adds to our grat
ification in being able to turn to a
srreat organization prepared for any
task. The consciousness of this
nrseitv to do things must con
tribute to the enthusiastic spirit
which imbues the American Red
Cross throughout every ' unit, and
the knowledge adds to the pride
and confidence of the people of the
United States in having sucn an
agency to give expression to human
sympathy and helpfulness."
Chairman Payne said that the
first action of the Red Cross would
be to proceed to meet the emergency
