Twenty-Sixth Year Comment on the Daj's News Frr L(flL SMI FOB fifirfo) W C E, Lfu By FRANK JENKINS YOTJ are probably bored to the point of tears with the whole subject of foreign politics and for eign finances. But hers are some facts so significant, so illuminating, that In Justice to yourself you should take the trouble to grasp them I German reparations payments since 1034 have amounted to the total sum of t3.35O.O00.OOO. German BORROWINGS, during this same period borrowings from other countries have amounted to 3,760. 000,0001 M TAT Is to say, Germany has bor rowed enough from other coun tries to pay all her reparations debts ' to other countries and have $1,400, 000,000 left over. Putting It another way, of every dollar abe has borrowed from abroad Germany has paid back 63 cents In Installments on repsratlons debt and has 'kept 37 cents for her own uses. It Is thus apparent that foreign ' countries, most of them her former enemies, have provided Germany the money with which to pay her war debts and build herself up at the same time. ITH a part of the money she has borrowed, as already stated, Ger many has paid the currenj Install' ments on her war debt. The BEST of It she has spent for housing for her people, for machin ery and equipment for her great fac torlee and for vast public works. no PAR, so good. But now comes the real nub. Germany Is saying to her credit ors: "We are, broke. Our gold re serve Is depleted. We have no money with which to pay the debts we owe you. "What are you going to do about 17t" " npWO questions here present them. selves: 1. Who are Germany's creditors, and a, what ARB they go ing to do about it? The answer to-the,flrst Is that JJVT5RBODY who has bought a Ger man bond, either government or in dustrial. Is a creditor of Germany. The answer to the second Is that there isn't ANYTHING much that CAN be done about it. M IF A private individual owes you money and oant pay, you call In the sheriff and seize his property. But if a whole people owes you mon ey, you can't do that or at least you cant do it without war, which costs more than the debt Is worth and besides offers little chance of col lection. Bo, you see, the situation Is this Foreign peoples have lent Germany the money with which to pay her reparations debts and at the same time build up her whole country. Now, when they want their money back, she shrugs her shoulders and says: "We're sorry, but we can't pay; and if you try to MAKE us pay we'll go bolshevik, and where will you be then?" f4 MEANWHILE. Germany has the 1T1 dwellings and the new indus trial plants and the vast public works that have been built with the money borrowed from abroad, and these things can't be taken away , from her. Is it "poor Germany," as the prop agandists have been walling? Hardly) Rather It Is "Smart Germany; ahrewd Germany; unscruplous Germany." IF THESE fact, which are cited by Garet Garett In an article In the current number of the Saturday Eve ning Poet, are accurate, It 1 rather clearly evident that Germany baa won the war that followed the war. BUT enough ol foreign finance, which Is a heavy subject, and tiresome. Let us turn to something more Interesting. One of Southern Oregon's largest automobile dealers said to this writer the other day: "Within a couple of years every new automobile that comes out of the factories will capable of doing A HUNDRED MILES ! an hour on the open road. ftNLY a few years ago, automobiles were capable of doing not much more than 35 or 40 miles an hour. The maximum speeds crept up to 50 and 60 miles, and NOW they are around 75 or 80. ' As the maximum speed of which automobiles were capable crept up; the average rate of driving also crept up and this was followed slowly by a rising legal limit until now many states have no legal limit at all, in sisting only on careful driving.

(AP) Sweden and Norway today followed Great Britain by seven days in suspend ing the gold standard and prohibit ing the exportation of gold. The Danish cabinet Is considering the same action. Dispatches from Stockholm and Oslo said the two governments had decided temporarily to abandon pay ments In gold because or tne auma tlon of the krona and the krone with the pound sterling and the close connection of their finances with those of Great Britain. The Swedish state council decided to drop the gold standard until No vember 30 unless conditions change before that date and to Increase the national bank discount rate from six ner cent to eight per cent.
