Show "o voi;ivi:i:, i ati;i;." Wo are told that Austria and certain of the smaller countries of Europe are starving for hU'k of bread. We are asked to loan $125.-liread. $125.-liread. We re asked to loan $125.-i $125.-i (i 0, 0 0 0 for the immediate relief of tl'.ese iinfortuuale people. Very K'ood. We are Americans, and Americans have never yet failed fail-ed to succor a nation expiring from the pangs of hunger. If these suffering people need ?125.0t)0,000 let us give it to them outright. Let. it be our contribution contribu-tion to the cause of humanity, and then let us forget it. lint let's have nothing to do with a loan which we know can never, be repaid. Jt only becomes a" o.. . ject for future friction. Hut as to Kij-land and France. London has recently reinitiated Sir Ceorge I'liish, who has been fv-ing fv-ing to tloat a loan in this count rv of $:i;,.000:.0ti0,000 for the allies. It says Sir tieorge is not authorized to represent the liritish government, nor yet the liritish banking interests. Exit Sir G corse and his rosv . scheme. We have no further interests in-terests in him. It is a well known fact, however, that England and France are looking look-ing to this country for the billions necessary tor their reconstruction. They may lie low until this present Hurry of opposition blows over, and then the project will be broached, lint we have enough of that sort of thing.' We have some ten billions bil-lions of dollars planted over there now upon which it is doubtful if the interest will ever sprout. Even British people of prominence promin-ence are advocating the repudiat-fi repudiat-fi g of all obligations and the taking of a fresh start. It may be done. We note from ihe cablegrams that in London. Paris and oilier huue cities fa bilious prices are being paid by women for Cue latest creations in gowns and other frippery.
