IME - ' ISLANDSFOR OEBT Seriously Considers Taking Over West Indies From France and England. PRICE IS $2,425.000,000 Great Pressure Brought to Bear I for Settlement of Allied Obligation.

Hy Time* .Special p.- WASHINGTON. Dee. I.—The takover by thè United States of thè I British and French islands of thè ; West Indies, by mutuai agreement, ; settlement of war debts, is reeeiving ! jWoos study here. ! AGreat Britaln owes thè United States 14h-77.000.000. France owes $2,99?.1477,000. Total, $7,374.477,000. ' Tremendous pressure is being brought to bear on this country to cancel thè $1,000.000.000 allied war dgbt, induding thè above. This Is dtjne cn thè theory that thè debt is Bpossible of payment and that as 'Sifr as it stands world fìnances and rld trade will suffer. thè siate clean and start over Sb' thè cry, particularly among intergfetlonai bankers. t'The Harding Admlnlstration thus Kr has refu se d to consider Bin Certain members profess to beweve a .way may yet be sound to pav Bt debt. Floocs Flan ■ Senator Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, who nominated President Harding at < r hicago, and who now occupies Hardliag's" seat in thè Congress, favors rtùch a pian. He does not believe this [ j artlcular moment opportune to Uwing officiai attention to thè matter, ! hut he has a pian in mind and he Svili use it in thè event of further balk of debt cancellation on thè j tTounds of impossibility of pavment. ; Premier Bonar Law of England and 'lTremier Poincaré of France ha ve anlntention to pay. And Eng has just paid $50,000.000 on aeThis is a little less than a <hlrd of thè annua! interest on her Miai indebtedness. Great Britain owns thè Bahamas Stid nearly all thè Leeward and WindBrar.i Isles. She also owns Trinidad, Eirr South America, and Jamaica, jjgóuth of Cuba. In area, some 12,000 ijsquare miles. France owns but few islands. Mar•thiiriue and Guadeloupe boing thè fprincipal ones. Area, about Sl6 square 'tniles. Estimate Price A fairly simple method of arriving at a price would be to thè price paid by thè United States to Denmark for half thè Virgin Islands in 1917. The suoi was $25,000,000. The area is 132 square-miles. . At thfe rate thè British possessions Pwould come to some $2,250.000,000 and thè French to about $175,000,000. Total, $2,425,000,,000. Allowing for thè rapid rise in thè cost of ■everything since 1917 thè British debt could be entlrely wiped out by such a trade and Franee’s materially reduced. Stragetic Val uè The islands are of consideratile strategie value to thè United States from thè point of view of defense and of absolutely none to Britain save as bases from which to launch an offensive. The population is mostly colored, akia to thè American negro, having nothing in common racially with thè inhabitants of England and France.

Mayor Shank and Griff, English funmaker, at thè Lyric, surrounded by thè little tots at thè Jndianapolis Orphans’ Home at thè Indianapolis Times party there on Thanksgiving moming. By “HICKL” “Man, nice man,” piped thè voice of a little girl. She placed her arms around my neck and hugged me. A little chap looked into one of my pockets and pointing at two cigars, asked me what they were. “Penclls,” I said with a blush. “Smokes,” said thè little boy. Then thè wee little girl hugged me again. A bachelor likes that sort of thing. I was getting along famously with thè little tots at thè Indianapolis Orphans Home on E.
