IT MIGHT BE MUCH WORSE
The latest news from Russia—its
reliability cannot be vouched for, of
course—is to the effect that the Rus
sian government Intends to repudiate
the national debt and will issue a de
cree to that effWl in a day ortwo.
Now we would respecially urge
our esteemed contemporaries not to
get unduly excited should this thing
happen. It would be very deplorable,
no doubt, but scolding, invective and
vituperation will not mend matters.
If the batteries or denunciation are
once more started the report will as
suredly reach Russia and merely hard
en the determination of the revolu
tionists. Besides, it would help spoil
till the splendid work President Wilson
has so far done and render null and
void all his commendations of the hon
esty, sincerity, justice and democracy
of these people.
Ret us look on the bright side of
things, for though the act is certainly
unpleasing, it has a bright side.
Things might he much worse.
It is only a trifle of ten or twelve
billion dollars; probably not more than
one twenfth of the total war expenses
to date. And fortunately, our finan
ciers stand to lose hut very little—a
bagatelle of $300,000,000 or so. More
than twenty times that much is held
in France and Great Britain, espec
ially France. And there is some con
souatlon in the thought, that the Ger
man financiers stand to lose a good
deal, to.
No matter what the Russian govern
ment does, we must all stand by it now
and we cannot afford to morally berate
it as a bankrupt. It. no doubt, con
siders itself no such tiling, and does
not hold itself in the least responsible
for the financial obligations of the
czarism. That may be an immoral
view, of course, but what cun we do
about it? Betel- pocket the loss and
say nothing, or, if we say anything,
let it be a continuation of the chorus of
praise started by Preshh-nt Wilson
about the “morality" aiul “democracy”
of the Russian people as a whole, and
avoid alluding directly to this disa
greeable subject. To keep silent on
such matter is perhaps contrary to
all our best instincts, but with a tittle
practice and self-denial we can suc
ceed. And self-denial is an excellent
tiling for everybody these days.
Of course, the “bankrupt" has still
some assets in the form of consider
able amount of real estate, but there
are many reasons why we cannot ap
propriate that in lieu of the debt. And,
naturally, we must prevent the greedy
Germans from forcibly seizing it, also.
If we cannot be preferred creditors,
wo must see to it that they' are not.
'They must not gain where others
have lost. The loss, in fact, must
be ‘equally divided as far as possible
in accordance with the dictates of
eternal justice.
If Russia repudiates its national
cli bt, wo cannot afford to repudiate
Russia. We must apply the Golden
Rule and do good to those who have
despitefully used us and forgive them.
This isn't business, of course, but,
then, "business as usual" is really not
possible these days. And the Bolshe
vik! are not "business men," and are
entirely Inexpert in all those highly
complicated and civilized methods of
manipulating debt that do not involve
the horrible term “repudiation.” They
really don’t know any'better, and wo
should make all charitable allowances
for their ignorance, even if we are to
some extent losers by their uncouth
and untutored methods.
We make this appeal for cool judg
ment certain that all intelligent busi
ness men, like Mr. Vanderlip. for in
stance, wilt understand. We venture
to say that tie will not.be found pour
ing forth volumes of moral denuncia
tion on the repudiators. He will rec
ognize that these are very abnormal
times and make all due allowances for
change in the moral point of view from
pressure of economic necessity. Be
sides, it is neither wise nor polite to
throw good money after bad. We
stand to lose far more just now by
denouncing the Russian government
than if we continued to pra'se them
generally, though it is prefoctly possi
bly, of course, to preserve a judicious
silence on this particular matter lest
worst occurs.
Let us all cheer up. The world
is not going bankrupt just because
Russia repudiates its national debt.
Indeed looking from a somewhat
d’jroader and loftier, and, we may
admit, newer viewpoint, the world is
only really entering on its inheritance,
and that it should begin by wiping old
things off the slate in preparation for
a new deal is only what might nat
urally have been expected.—(Ex).
My friend Jones got a good load
on the other night and went home
and shot at his mother-in-law five
times, and when I saw him in jail
I said, “Do you call liquor your
friend when you shoot at your
mother-in-law?” and he replied,
“Liquor is not a friend of mine.
It made me miss her."
