Herbert Hoover says he can "see no reason why the United States should cancel the war debts of the allies when they are spending more for armament than it would take to pay the principal and interest." Hoover said a mouth full, and we pass it along. That ten billion dol lars the allies owe us would feed a good many hungry Americans in these days of unemployment.
