IAUSANNE PACT JUST NICE PLOT TO CATCH U. S. Big ‘Spirit’ Talk Is Far From Truth, Simms Points Out. A deleealion arrive* In Waehinfton thin week aeekin* a radical reduction of Britain'* 4, 100,000,000 war debt to this country. Here li the tecond of *etien of three articles dealing with the principal factors which will underly the negotiations. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Seripps-Howard Foreipn Editor WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 —The legend of Lausanne Is one of the most fantastic in the history of international diplomacy. In the weeks and months to come —indeed until the whole war debt controversy is forgotten—Americans are doomed to hear repeated the name of Lausanne until they mutter it in their sleep. In the name of “the spirit of Lausanne.” Great Britain and the other debtor nations of Europe demand the virtual cancellation of their $11,000,000,000 war debt to this country. In a spontaneous and generous effort to help put the world back on its feet, they claim, they agreed at Lausanne practically to cancel German reparations. The United States, therefore, is in duty bound to do the same by them. Too Far From Truth Nothing could be further from the truth than that the Allies deliberately, out of sheer goodness of heart, wiped the German reparation slate clean. The story of what happened leading up to Lausanne is worth studying. After Versailles, the Allies met at San Remo, Hythe and Brussels to decide what Germany would have to pay. They fixed on 225 billion gold marks, or ss6,ooo,ooo,ooo—five times all the monetary gold on the face of the globe and more than half the total estimated wealth of the German empire. Gradually, It dawned on the Allies that no such sum could possibly be paid. Accordingly, at London, they lowered the amount to 132 billion marks three times all the monetary gold In the world.

French Took the Ruhr Already they had taken all of Germany’s colonies, equal to four and a half times the area of Germany proper. Unable to pay this still fantastic sum, Germany was declared in default and the French occupied the Ruhr to collect for themselves. This proved a costly failure, so the Allies next turned to an international commission. This commission. headed by Brigadier General Charles G. Dawes, and assisted by Owen D. Young, set up the Dawes plan of reparations. Under it, the Germans were to pay standard installments—apparently in perpetuity, since no time-limit was set—amounting to $600,000,000 a year. This broke down as soon as the United States quit lending Germany the money to pay. Then came the Young plan, reducing the annuities to $474,000,000 and limiting the period they were to run. They Had An Inspiration The Young plan likewise failed. Germany stood on the brink of ruin. But for Hoover’s moratorium, she would have gone bankrupt. This time Germany sullenly faced the world with the announcement she was through paying. She had paid enough—all she could —all she ever would. Let the Allies do what they might. Such was the situation in 1932 when the Allies met at Lausanne. The outlook was gloomy. They had expected to collect from Germany more than enough to pay the United States. Then they had an inspiration. They would forgive Germany for a nominal sum—s7l4,ooo,ooo or 10 cents on the dollar on the "present cash value” of reparations installments—provided the United States would forgive them. An excellent case can be made for war debt reduction or even cancellation. Indeed this newspaper has presented many columns to show that it would be quite possible to bring about a world agreement of such benefit to the American people that they <?ould afford to cancel the war debts outright. But ’ the spirit of Lausanne” was not among the arguments used, save in the sense that the Allies had faced the unpleasant facts at Lausanne in a business-like way and acted accordingly. Next—Britain's case. HUNGER PERIL ENDED IN CANNING CAMPAIGN lowa Community Successful in Drive to Aid Poor.

RUSSIANS WILL CONSTRUCT NEW TYPEJAILROAD 185-Mile-an-Hour Pace Is Promised; Track to Be of Concrete. B.y Science Service MOSCOW, Oct. 4.— A streamlined electric train running on giant motorized ball bearings In a grooved concrete track will be built In the Soviet Union as the result of successful testa in which a working model of the train attained a speed of 43 miles an hour. The train is expected to make 185 miles an hour according to Its inventor, Engineer Yarmanchook. The train, perfected after eight years’ labor, is quiet while running at high speech Each car rides on two large balls whose outside edges have been flatted slightly In order to make them serve as wheels. A powerful motor turns the axle of each ball. The “wheels” run in a grooved concrete runway, and the cars have a low center of gravity. When running slowly the train
