What Lausanne Accord Means to Uncle Sain * * * * * * Every Man, Woman and Child in United States May Be Saddled With $76.50 Debt as Result of European Reparations Agreement ORI&IMAL GERMAN SCALED DOWN 1921 GERMAN SCALED DOWN FINAL WAR REPARATIONS 6Y l?T REPARATIONS OFFER REJECTEE) UNDER YOUNG SETTLEMENT COMMITTEE &Y ALLIES. PLAN. 1928 JULY, 1932 IN LONG TERM 50NDS. While European financial experts and statesmen are breaking out in eruptions ot encomium over the harmonious conclusion of the Lausanne Reparations Conference, whereat the original reparations debt of $63,822,000,000 stipulated in 1920 to be paid by Gerpiany to the Allies was finally whittled down to a mere $714,000,000. the layman in these United States is asking himself in a bewildered fashion “what does it mean to us.” The answer is approximately nine billion dollars. Though the U. S. did not take any part in the conference. the Allies have taken the stand that they cannot pay war debt installments due this country without corresponding reparations payments. And as they have agreed to cut the reparations to the stated sum it means that a corresponding cut will probably be passed on to the United States in the war debt matter. Os the eleven billion dollars due the U. S. by the Allies, only about a billion and a half has been paid, so if the Lausanne agreement is approved by the U. S. the remaining nine and a half billions may now be regarded as virtually uncoliectable. This, on the basis of 1930 census figures (122,775.046 population) w ould plaster a debt of $76.50 on every man. woman and child in the U. S- Above is a diagram showing how the original German reparations debt has been shaved down by “easy" stages until it has finally shrunk to 99 per cent less than the originally stipulated amount. At top are the statesmen who participated in the Lausanne Conference. Left to right, they are: Baron con Neurath. German Minister of Foreign Affairs; Signor Mosconi of Italy; Chancellor von Papen of Germany; Premier Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britain, and Premier Eduard Herriot of France.

WASHINGTON — Though the • effects of the harmonious note; struck by the great European powers at the recent Reparations i Conference at Lausanne may not | be noticeable in millions of American homes when the milkman 1 comes around to collect his bill, at least we have the' satisfaction of knowing that one controversy is finally settled—the allies won the I war, but Germany has won the! peace. In fixing the total repara’ions 1 now payable by Germany at the al- 1 most insignificant figure of $714,000,000, the European powers have removed the one tig obstacle that stood in the way of mutual trust and international cordiality. And '■ not only that, but we are .told that the Lausanne accord is a long step toward’s Europe's financial stability, recovered confidence and will act as a powerful stimulus to commercial exchanges, which in plain English means that a wide crack has appeared in the hitherto solid wail of depression and the light of better times is shining . through. , However, the question that concerns us is what the Lausanne agreement means to the United States. The answer is about !> billion dollars. Although the United States did not take any active part in the conference, the Allies have ! tgken the stand that they cannot pay debt installments due to this I tethtry without corresponding rs- | parations payments. And as the

I A'lies have cut the amount of rei parations to the sum aforementioned it megns that a corresponding ; cut w ill probably be passed on in the debt matter to the I'nited States. Os the eleven billion dollars duo to the United States by the Allies only $1,60(i,U00,00U ha# been paid, so the balance, $9,400,000,000 may! now be regarded as virtually unj collectable, according to the letter of the Lausanne agreement. Therefore, on the basis of the 1930 ten- 1 ! sus (122.770,040 population), every man, woman and child in the United States, citizen and alien alike, stands to lose about $70.00. Os course, this all depends upon Uncle Sam seeing eye to eje with 1 the financial stiutegists of Europe,l but present indications are that! tljc United States is open to a discussion of the matter, which is a! significant departure from our! , previous policy demanding that i | Europe pay us its lawful debts. | , The United States is now in the! - position of a banker who makes a! loan to a group of business men.! . who in turn extend credit to their i , customers. Then on the customers [I defaulting, the business men de-! . I sire to repudiate their debt to the I' banker—a unique system of finj anee, to which even a peanut , vendor would not agree.

sometime on the electric light company or the grocer when the monthly bills come in. In June, 1920 a meeting of the Allied Prime Ministers at Boulogne, France, adopt od a plan, whereby Germany should pay an amount of $63,822,000,000 over a period of 42 years. This plan met with much opposition in the Fatherland with the result that in April, 1921, the Supreme Council In London drafted a schedule calling on Germany to deliver to the Reparations Commission bonds to the value of $31,416,000.000—ab0ut one-half of the previous amount. Then came the l>awes plan, by which Germany would have to pay $595,000,000 annually, but further haggling resulted in the adoption of the Young Plan, which reduced Germany's indebtedness to $9,996,000,000. After this came the Hoover moratorium, suspending all intergovernmental debt payments, including reparations, for a year, | which entailed another big sacri- ! fice on the part of the United ; States. And now comes the last and iinial big slice in reparations. The j sum now fixed by the Lausanne conference is approximately 99 per cent less than the’ original amount stipulated in 1920, but of course it must he remembered that in the meantime Germany has paid billions in interest. However, pavI ment of interest to a banker for I ever so many years does not void I the principal.

The i Prince who fails for horses bet not tor g.ris now takes infinite pains not to get too paity with any of the fair sex who lack the plain gold band upon the proper finger. He can dance to his heart s content with any of the charming, young married women in his set without starting a rumor that he is on the verge of getting into step with Lohengrin. Une of bis lavorite partners is Viscountess Furness, the former Thelma Morgan Converse, American-born daughter of Harry Hays Morgan, former United States Consul General in Belgium, whose native disregard of hide-bound tradition enables tier to treat Wales as lie desires to b« Heated- a regular fellow Another of the Prince's favorites ,s Mrs. Dudley Ward, London society leader, noted for her wit and dry humor. I hough the British Government would give a great deal to see the heir to the to rone safely married, the Prince has so far refused to have any part of a hand picked wite. in fact, those close to Wales believe that he is not su keen on the throne, anyway, it having been hinted on many occusious that he be quite willing tu vtep aside and let his brutner the Uust us York, who is married and has ch.idren take bis place in succ .ssion

LONDON — Apart from standing forth from the pack a< a leap year 1932 can lay claim to one other distinction—that of being tfc only one since the wa that the Prince of Wales has n t been rumored engaged to a princess or a commoner.

T-.ie world’s most eligible ha iielor, irritated by constant •, rurao s of his matrimonial Intenj tiens, ha i taken t: avoiding all the ■| single maidens of his set whom he ’ jhas to meet at social functions.
