France Refuses to Pay!
"NCE more that formidable query "can democracy be made
eafe for the world" becomes the burning issue.
Did you read Premier ITerriot's speech pleading with his
colleagues to pay tomorrow's installment of the war debt to
the United States t
If you didn't and want to be informed regarding not only
this war debt problem but world politics, READ IT in another
column of today's paper. We doubt if any American senator
could have made a stronger case for this payment, or more clear
ly and eloquently revealed the moral obligations involved, than
did the responsible head of the present French government.
But the representatives of the French people treated Herriot
precisely as delegates to democratic conventions, so often treat
ed another great orator, William Jennings Bryan, when he
pleaded for prohibition. They cheered his eloquence to the echo
and then proceeded, to vote against him 402 to 187 1
So Herriot and his government fell. And in that fall, anoth
er important chapter in contemporary history was written.
(Incidentally, brethren, these be parlous times, but history is
certainly being written I)
Why Did Herriot Fall?
TJTHAT force really overthrew Premier Herriot f Was it the
chamber of deputies t Technically, yes ; but actually,' no.
What really overthrew Herriot was the force of French pub
lio opinion; not in the chamber, but parading in the streets of
Paris, holding meetings of protest, throughout the length and
breadth of France. ' In short it was democracy, the voice of the
people, the demand of the rank and file.
The plain truth is the French people hate the United Stutes,
today as intensely, as they adored the United States, 12 or 13
years ago. When Uncle Sam and hia doughboys came over as
a saviour, and DID save France from defeat and complete dis
aster, nothing was too good for him or for them.
But now what a change has come over the spirit of their
dreams I Uncle Sam comes not as, a saviour, but as an Uncle
Shylock demanding payment for what he did, not full pay
ment, not even half-payment, merely a minimum interest charge,
on a debt, that Uncle Sam on his own volition, drastically cut
down.
BUT ALL THAT IS FORGOTTEN I The treasure that Uncle
Sam poured out, with such a prodigal hand ; the thousands of
young lives he sacrificed, the millions he generously wrote off,
these things have no standing, with the rank and file of France
at the present time.
CO Premier Herriot can orate as he will of this "debt of
honor," the signature of France on its sacred promise to
pay; the dishonor and ingratitude that repudiation involves
he might as well talk, against the wind, as far as publie opinion
in France is concerned.
Were Herriot a dictator, had he and the chamber autocratic
power, or to express the same idea in another way were France
NOT a democracy undoubtedly this payment would be made
at the present time. -
For it IS a debt of honor. It IS an obligation, sustained
by every consideration of gratitude and national integrity. It
IS right. It IS just.
Moreover of all debtors of
best able to pay, could pay tomorrow with the least acrifice,
in fact in the face of France's gold reserve, this $20,000,000 is
mere loose change, as such things go.
But because the people of
WON'T pay, and unless all signs fail, any government that
agrees to pay, will fall, just as the Herriot government fell.
So one comes inevitably to this proposition :
Democracy renders payment of the war debt by France
impossible; just as democracy renders cancellation of the war
debt by the United States impossible.
THUS a deadlock is reached. And as a result of this deadlock,
hnnfilifv rtAtwpnn t Via nnnnla nf TiVnnnA an rn nonnln nf
the United States, will increase in spite of all the diplomats can
do and in spite of all the LaFayette speeches and Fourth of
July banquets that may be held.
The peaceful absorption of
to good will and amity, which undoubtedly the thoughtful peo.
pie of both countries desire, depends upon how successful the
statesmen on both sides of the Atlantic are in making "democ
racy safe for the world."

that purpose which under present political and economic con
ditions is scarcely conceivable.
What will Uncle Sam do about it! He will continue to re
fuse, as President Hoover has refused, to cancel the war debts.
In other words the countries of Europe will repudiate this
debt, although they will try to disguise this repudiation, as
Belgium did yesterday, by sugar coating it with the meaningless
phrase "inability to pay." Nominally they won't refuse to pay
it; but they will declare they CAN'T pay it, which of course
amounts to the same thing.
'T'lIEN what will happen! "Well that rests in the laps of the
Gods, but probably this:
As years go by and the American peoplo realize that this
debt WON'T BE PAID; that no matter what happens the bil
lions they spent to save Prance and England from a German
conquest, are gone and will never return the common sense
of the American people will assert itself and they will decide
that they might as well make a virtue of necessity, cancel the
remaining debts, and secure whatever political and economic
benefits such action may involve.
Either that or the refusal to cancel the debts will so compli
cate international relations and international trade, make
economic conditions so much worse than they now ars that
American public opinion will be changed by adversity and by
fear, and what Is politically impossible now will be a matter
of enlightened self interest

Everyone baa beard of the brutal

He recovered from
the D. T promptly but it was sev
eral days before I could breathe
easily about hie digitalis poisoning.
A youth with acute peritonitis wis
in such a desperate condition that
the surgeon declined to operate. The
three physicians In consultation be
lieved the boy was dying. 60 his own
doctor poisoned him wlta opium, and
the boy made a good recovery. Don't
run away with the smug notion that
this was an atrocity. The opium poi
soning treatment was the best known
treatment for peritonitis In the days
before surgery. Patient received
enough opium to slow the respiration
rate down to eight or ten breaths a
minute (in health the average is 181.
In other words, the Inflamed organs
or surfaces were kept as nearly at

and Inhuman treatment prescribed
by a doctor In order to Insure REST
for the Inflamed organ. A lady com
plained of a sore throat, Just an or

was eloquent in her description ox

doctor seized tongue depressor and

pharynx, fauces, etc., as the parent

seems harsh treatment. It Isn't Wie

and choked the callous physician pre

The Salvation Army Appeals.
To the Editor:
In the interest of the poor of Jack
son county, remember the words of
our Saviour while He was upon earth,
"The poor we have with us always.
Therefore, to those who are less un
fortunate, the Salvation Army is
making this appeal In the name of
Him who was born to bring good
cheer to the whole world. Let us
turn our attention, during these try
ing times, to the poor mothers and
the helpless children In this great
country of oure. There are a num
ber of families, who are really hun
gry, cold and poorly clad.
One family, which Just reported to
us this morning has two little chil
dren going to school with one pint of
peaches and half a slice of bread each
for their lunch. Now this family
was not complaining, but Just brav
ing the storm of life. It is these
cases that are really charity. We
wish to advise the public that we are
placing our greatest stress on caring
for the needs of the poor in jaca-
son county, sincerely believing that
real charity begins at home.
The Salvation Army la now located
at 33 South Bartlett street, next to
the Medford Glass company. If any
one has beef or meat of any kind.
spuds and vegetables, we will be
glad to call for them.
Remember, our Christmas xetues

Ant Invasion Repulsed.
The old black oaks here on Long
Island are breeding places for a giant
species of black ants. Recently our
houas was Invaded by a band of these
communists. We emitted loud cries
for succor, and good old Doc Brady
responded promptly, prescribing a
dose of tartar emetic for the Invad
ers. It killed them off in short or
der, also restored the good wife's
nerves, which were badly shot by the
unwelcome visitors. D. M. .
Answer Yes. a wee line of tartar
emetic (antimony) sprinkled across
the trail will generally rid the prem
ises of ant invaders, but great cau
tion Is neosssary In using this, be
cause It Is a poison to children and
domestic animals too.

President Uebrun, ro whom It was
the first ministerial crisis, faced

He begged the chamber, a, the mo
ment it seemed determined to reject!
his measure, to realize that the mea- j
sure involved the problem of a credit
o 180,000,000,000 francs (more than
97.000,000,000).
Warned of Mistake.
Turning toward the rightist
benches, he cried:
"You are going to make an enor
mous mistake. Remember that on
the recommendation of Polncare you
voted to recognlas the debts."
He expressed the conviction that
any man who would succeed him as
premier would have an extremely dif
ficult situation to face because he
would "lack the moral prestige which
he will need to continue negotia
tions." Turning toward the socialists, he
exclaimed :
"You, also, sre wrong. You soon
will recognise your error. Pirst of
all. you are going to Isolate Prance."
Herriot called the attention ot the
chamber to what he termed the prob
ability that if France does not pay,
England cannot definitely pay Amer
ica without In her turn asking pay
ments from France
Ethics at Stake.
Declaring it his Judgment that not
to pay constitutes a unilateral de
cision by France, he said. "Good
ethics, after all, are something very
simple and, of perfect clearness."
"There is a simple truth standing
out in this tragic debate, and that is
the signature of France." he con
tinued. "It is the honor of the
French family which is Involved.
Whatever may happen, whatever may
be the passions and quarrels, let us
remain faithful to the signature
given so that the document signed
will not be a scrap of paper."
Loud aplause from the leftist
benches followed, but there were
murmurs throughout the hall and
protests from some sections.
Herriot recalled that France often
had discussed with Germany the re
spect for a signature.
"Remember that England, becauK
she signed the act of Belgium's neu
trality, engaged the future of all her
people." he added.
Speaker Acclaimed.
"I know the public deeply mov
ed at this moment." he continued.
"I can understand that. The people
of France are Irritated. They have
a feeling of revolt In their ideas of
Justice. As for me, my resolution Is
taken and nothing can change it."
Practically all tls deputies of the
left arose In their ptoces and ac
claimed their leader. Many rushed
to his side and wrung his hand as
he descended from the tribune.
When President Boulsson of the
chamber announced the government's
project of payment with reservations
and been rejected. Herriot, with his
fellow ministers grouped compactly
around him. left the government
bench amidst the applause of his
friends.
In Its final form, the resolution
said. "The chamber, while waiting
T"r '-he general necessary negotia
tions, expresses Its Judgment that
payment on December IS should be
deferred."

Budget.
This budget business is locally rated
the primary Job of the lame duck
congress, but no one expects an au
thentic balance. Progress to the ex
tent of getting Income and expense1
half a billion dollars closer together
would be hailed with relief.
Banks.
The ancient feud between the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of New York and
Its brother banks m other districts
and olso between locaT commercial
banks and their country cousins is
simmering to a boll. The highly ad
vertised pressure if excess member
banks outside New York are still
contracting loons. The local Fed
eral Reccrve bank clings doggedly to
Its policy white its associates are get
ting more and more fed up with
hanging on to their excessive stock
of government obligations.
As to the ruckus between commer
cial banks In and out of the big
city, the little fellows are less prone
to take advice from the financial
giants than they , used to be. Ex
pansion of- branch banking would
play havoc with the smaller Inde

Inflation.
A large New York bank with close

the senate banking and currency
committee has a heavy majority In
favor of Inflation and that several
dozen schemes for producing It are
on tne lire.
There are more ways than one of
skinning the gold standard. Some

Into circulation has a good chance of
getting by. It won't be the bonus.
This report I adduced In banking
conferences as an sddltlonal reson
for extreme caution In commitments.
Repeal.
Wall Street' regret at the defeat
of repeal Is more sentlmentsi than
practical. Repeal Is considered a
certainty with the new congress. The
wonder still grows here, not that the
measure failed of a two-thirds ma
jority, but that It lost by a nose.
New York was especially surprised
that only 33 re-elected Democratic
congressmen bolted their party plat
form. Hopes for beer still run high.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 14. iP) Rep

Hoover today that he felt .the Presi

Snell said he had discussed the
matter with the chief executive at the
request of Republican members of
the house who wanted to obtain Mr.
Hoover's views toward rivers and har
bors work as a relief measure.
