SHALL GERMANY OR
FRANCE PAY THE WAR-BILL
[From the Literary Digest]
If Germany doesn’t pay, —
France must. This sums up
the reply of: a large section of
our press to those economists
who insist that the war bill pre
sented to Germany by the Allies
— 220 billion gold marks payable
in forty-two years, plus a 12
percent export tax— is more1
than that nation can pay.
"Is France more able to pay
th an Ge rn 1 a ny ?” asks the Ne w-1
ark News, which goes on to say:
"Which country do we want to
see penalized and set back by I
the losses of the war, Germany 1
or France? Then line up on the
indemnity question on that sim
ple program and work it out on
the sanest possible basis, keep
ing in mind the fact that-the
whole world must, in the end
share in the payment.
As for Germany, it is advis
able for her to consider what
she threatened and would have
done to the Allies if she had
won,and to understand France’s
position and fears and disappoint
mentatthe disillusionment of
the immediate effects of victory
Germany has agreed to pay an
amount covering all the damages
to the civil population of the All
ies, and the sum of proved dam
age is three or four times as
much as the Allies are now ask'
her to pay.’
150ULDERS EASILY
REMOVED
Edward T. Haun of Hope, has
invented a hoisting hook for re
moving boulders from placer
ground that promises to place
many a creek again on the map
that has to be abandoned be
cause the boulders were toonum
erous and difficult to handle.
Mr. Haun has been placer
mining at Hope for many years
and with his patent ,‘craw fish”
hook he removed more boulders
this last season than he did
in an,y ten years previous. He
claims it will do the work of 20
men and it takes only two to op
erate.
Mr. Haun has secured his
patent protection and is in now
East with half a dozen chances
to sell his invention at a good
figure.—Tiie Pathfinder, Alaska.
