Just what the effect will be of the
official publication by the American
government of what It knows of the
financial affairs of Furope Is not serl
ously thought of at the moment, but the
object la to let Rurope know thai
America eapects ber to pay the war
debt.
Tbs policy ef rtancs at the arms con

of sentiment In the senate from a policy
of passive silence to actlre Interest In

the other "scars" received by France
during the war,
Tbs United States government has not
yet formally called upon the European

debt or Its Interest As soon as the
funding bill la passed, however, such
negotiations will begin. For the mo

the senate mesns to have all the lnfor

public, so that If there are any errors
in ins 'data they may be corrected

arisen as to ths exact aise of European

circumstances will the two be tied up
together, though It la by no means im
possible for the American government
to grant terms to the allies which will
correspond jnore or less to the time
when funds may be expected by them
frotn Germany.
FBITATE LQAJf AFFECTED
The demand for the publication of the
government's data about European
fiscal affairs tiasK already aroused a
storm of protest In France, where It
had been expected that aqsne private
loans might be made by American bank
ing firms from time to time. But with
the American government s attitude to
ward France at present the flotation
of any more loans in theJJnited States
Is extremely doubtful, for the executive
has the moral power of veto even over
private loans.
It may be that the new Poincaire mln.
istry will learn soon enough what havoc
was wrought by the French delegation
at the arms conference, but the first
public evidence of it is the McCormick
resolution which passed by overwhelm
ing vote and which, while without White
House Inspiration, bears nevertheless no
objection from the chief executive at this
time.
