'American people, to impress Germany
111’ with the fact that our government
.3 meant what it said in its note of Feb.

V of. her plan to destroy, without warn-
f’ilig, any merchant vessels found in a
mood ‘to draw around the coasts of

over which he was presiding.
He wants the United States to buy
Belgium.
At first it takes one's breath away.
Then the peasibilities and advantages
begin to unfold. Mr. W anamaker's
plan is simply that the U. 8. should
borrow about one hundred billion dol-
citizens would gladly loan money to
the government for this purpoog for
‘tive years without interest. This neat
and modeshlltiie sum is to be used to
Germany. We would not exactly own

it sounds logical enough. Owned by
Germany. no sum of money.
great, would ever be powerful enough
to1 the U. S. for large ElTough to re-
ideem :Belglum from German rule.
But it is quite conceivable that (lor-
many might sell the country outright
to the nited States for a. large enough
sum. As far as Belgium and the U. S.
are concerned. it would simply be a
loan, which it is reasonable to suppose
the Belgians would pay as promptly
and cheerfully as possible. Repaying
a loan to a friendly country which had
l .
very different psychological proposi-
tibn from tot-ling to pay an indemnity
to an enemy—at the end otwhich pay-
ment there would be only subjugation
instead of liberty.
Yes, it’s a beautiful schemenut it
has one serious flaw. .
it presupposes that‘Belgium, with
the aid of the Allies, will not be able
to free herself from Germany. It pre-
supposes that Germany ls 11819111 the
rightful owner ’of that‘outrnged coun-
try. J
Americans. who, occluding to Mr.
Wanamaker, would be soready to loan
their dollars without interest for this
hole purpose, will, one may well im-
agine, think not only twice buts good
many times before they will make
themselves party to any such recogni-
tion of Germanys right to the owner—
ship of IBelgium.
And anyhow, one hundred billions
is a good deal more than alltho money
the United States has got!
