EUROPE WOULD PROFIT IF U. S. FOUGHT JAPAN Loss of War Debts Is Seen Should America Become Involved in Conflict. BY WILLIAM rHILIP SIMMS ScriDDS-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Feb. B.—The tension had not abated an iota here today, despite an official announcement from Tokio that Japan has no political ambitions in the vicinity of Shanghai. Washngton is aware that an unrevealed, but "adequate,” number of Japanese troops now are on the way to Shanghai with orders to blast out the Chinese defenders at any cost. The situation, therefore, is more than ever viewed as an open powder barrel liable to explode at any moment, involving others beside the Japanese and Chinese. Washington remains on needles and pins. It still is unable to fathom what is in the minds of the Japanese general staff, and upon that everything depends. If the Japanese general staff is convinced that now is the moment to round out the mikado’s empire, nothing will be allowed to stand in the way. Huge Losses Threatened World economics, observers here realize, places the United States in the gravest danger, in the event of the conflict spreading. What, in effect, amounts to a $50,000,000,000 advance tribute is already in the hands of foreigners should this country be drawn into a losing war. Europe owes the United States approximately $12,000,000,000 on war debts. Interest for the full period of payment would amount to $lO,000,000,000. In addition American private loans abroad foot up to about $18,000,000,000 making a total of $40,000,000,000. Then there are the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii, Panama Canal and other outlying interests worth at least another $20,000,000,000. Even a victorious war with a major power would cost the United States upward of sixty or seventy billion dollars, according to figures based upon the World war. War Debts Seem Doomed Beyond question the war debts would go by the boards. A cold, calculating Europe would seize the opportunity to strike a bargain for at least that much of the price of neutrality. For this there are European precedents a-plenty. Moreover, our immediate and pressing need for ships and shipping, and the myriad other goods and services required to carry on the war, would cost other billions. We should be obliged to pay whatever price asked, thus quickly expending more than the amount due us on private debts. Britain, France and other nations of the old world would not hesitate to slap on the highest prices the traffic would bear. They would say, we did the same tning to them for 1914 to 1918. Europe Would Profit Our foreign trade would disappear, going ot European countries just as during the World war Europe’s foreign trade was taken over by the United States and Japan. For these and other reasons a sorely stricken Europe, with millions of unemployed, hardly could be expected to bemoan the fate that threw Japan and the United States at each other’s throat. Defeat for the United States would cost not less than a hundred billion dollars by the time an armistice was signed, plus whatever the victorious power could force us to pay by way of indemnity afterwards. A hundred billion dollars is more than the total national wealth of the United States as short a time back as 1900.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SPEAKS ON HUMOR Max Eastman, Author, Talks at Kirshbaum Forum. Laughter is a playful substitute for pain, according to the philosophy of Max Eastman, radical author and scholar, who lectured at the Kirshbaum community center open forum Sunday night. Eastman pointed out that his philosophy and psychology of laughter differs from the views held by others from Aristotle to Freud, in that he does not agree that it is necessary to laugh at someone, and that best jokes may be on one's self.
