The Clinton News Record, 1932-12-29, Page 5rgyvoiteavinvmmaiggivawavitgwgio fit, OF INTEREST TO YOU AND 'Sunday will be New Year's Day. The News -Record wishes all its readers a Happy New Year. The days are no doubt growing longer, but it is not very noticeable as yet. •e Have you got your New Year re'- • solutions all ready? Perhaps you might use last year's over again, M R M • Christmas Eve was nothing like • the Christmas Eves Canadians are wont to expect, with its dripping • skies, but Christmas Day was so sunny and bright that the past was • forgotten' in 'the enjoyment of the Present. • r It is not a dozen years since radio • came into use and yet on Sunday last • people sat in their homes in the Bri- tish Isles, in India, in Canada, in! .Australia and in .all the lands of the British Empire, comprising one -quarter of the earth's surface, and ' listened to messages coming from all, the other parts of it. And then, at • the end, after we had heard of how • Christmas was being spent in the different climes, we heard the g'rac- ious tones of the head of the great Empire, His Majesty, King George, • who sat in the midst of his own fain- ' ily, in the widest general message ever delivered by a ruling sovereign 'to his people, as follows; The Icing's message was: ' "Through one of the marvels of modern science, I am enabled this Christmas Day to speak to all my people throughout the Empire," His Majesty declared. "I take it as ' a good omen that wireless should have reached its present perfection at a time when the Empire is linked in closest union, for it 'offers us immense possibilities to make that union closer still. "It may be that our future will lay upon us more than one stern test. Our past will have taught us ho+v to meet it unshaken. "For . the present the work to which we all are equally bound is to • arrive at reasoned tranquility within our borders, to regain prosperity without self-seeking; and to carry with us those whom the burden of the past years had disheartened. "My life's ain't has been to serve as I might towards those ends. Your loyalty, your confidence in me has been my abundant reward, "I speak now from my ]tome and from my heart to you all; to men and women sa cut off by snow, by desert and by sea, that only voices out of the air can reach them, "To those cut off from fuller life, by (blindness, sickness or infirmity, and those celebrating this day with their ,children, or grandchildren, to •each and all I wish a happy Christ- -ann. God bless you!" Such a radio hook-up as that of Christmas Day cannot but help to knit the ties of Empire closer. It should help to make us all feel that • we are one vast family and should Make it easier for us to understand the needs and the problems of other units and less selfish about insisting • upon 'our own way, no matter who • else shoulds uffer, The meeting of 'the Imperial Conference and this -Radio Christmas Party will do won- -dere, we believe. in bringing closer the ties which bind the Empire to- .- gether.

WALTER HUSTQ'N Canada's outstanding screen star with a great cast including Harry Carey, Ray Hatton and Ralph Ince, in "Lave and Order" Coning: Gaynor and Farrell in "FIRST YEAR" settlement is reached. Uncertainty postpones economic recovery. Great Britain has emphasized the need for early consideration. President Hoov- er has just proposed the setting up of a commission for that purpose. Probably the first and most essen- tial step is a resurvey of the entire situation by expert and official groups, with a view to arriving at workable compromises. Yet if the compromises are to be accepted by the peoples of the nations involved, there roust be real reconsideration free front present reiteration of re- spective national debt dogmas—+—by public opinion. For Americans, perhaps the most useful approach to a genuinely -fresh and open-minded study of the debts would be abandoned of the dan- gerous and false belief that the auestien is merely one of business. The French default, based not ,on fiscal but on political inability to pay, should make it clear that Am- erica can neither collect the debts nor end their disruptive effects by continuing to repeat the famous Coolidge question, "They hired the money didn't they?" • C=e7C-ts One of the commonest results of this obsession with dollars is the widespread misconception that the United States is the, only creditor in the war -debt equation, and the re- lated mistake that the European nations are seeking to shift the whole cost of the war onto the American taxpayer. Such thinking leaves out of account, of course, the vast war hills paid by the allies before 1917, when the American Government first granted credits. In August of that year it was of- ficially estimated in Washington that the World War had already cost the .participants $88,000,000,000 of Which $57,000,000,000 had been spent by the allies and $26,000000,000 by Great Britain, alone. These figures included no war damages, which were incalculable and from which the United States was vietnally free. And the •costs to the allies, of •course, after 1917 were by no means covered by the $10,000;000 borrowed from the United States. The loose assumption that Europe is asking America to pray the whole cost of 'ca European War" also ig- nores completely the fact that Bri- tain alone has already repaid nearly $2;000,000,000, ,cr, `roughly, the fall' resent value'.of goodse p rho she br-o DARK CLOUDS IH THE HEAVENS' ' SNOW IN THE AIR ,.

This is not, of course; including intertest, but there is more than a little doubt( of the decency of charging interest on this debt. The allies can collect no interest on the men they "lent" to match America's army of dollars. All the money in the world would not have won without men. Human lives were the great cost of the war. And it might be worth while to re- member at this time that American casualties were only 360,000 as a- gainst 9,000,000 for Russia, 6,000,- 000 ,000;000 for France, 3,040,000 for Britain and 2,000,000 for Italy, Of these millions, a large share were losses sustained by the allies in holding the "American seater" during the first year the United States was in the 'war and could send only dollars to the front: When Congress was discussing the loans now in question, Senator Cummins of Iowa said: T should like to give to the allied nations $3,000,000,000.. . with never a thought of its re- payment at any time or under any circumstances . . . to do • something which for the time being, for the moment, we are unable to do with our own army and our own navy. Those words reflect something of the atmosphere , in which the debts were contracted. Then Europe by "lending" men was creating a debt America can never repay, Can Am- ericans today afford to believe that the debts are simply a matter of business, or that the war was won with money and the United States paid the largest share?
