In an epoch making document the Bri- -tiab government has formally placed on record its willingness to cancel all debts due from the allies in respect to war loans, or by Germany "in. respect of reparations, providing that such _a policy is to form part of a satisfactoryinternational set- tlement." In other words the issue is put squarely up to the United States fromv which country has been poured a steady stream of gratuitous advice as to the course Britain and her European allies should pursue, It is now for that country to say whether if Britainis willing to re-' nit the debts the Allies owe to her. the United States will remit the British war debt to that country. Space does not permit of publication here of the full text of the document. It is not improbable that in years to come it will be regarded as the most important of the pre- sent decade next to those which contained the orginal declarationsof war. Without 1 interest the allies owe Britain one billion. 1 mlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIllIlilllIllllIIllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll LL of Simcoe 'L`o:on6'6 mm 01 Church` VVURLIJ l:'.VlNI.'I: ' .

That is to say by` the money of the Britishpeople themselves. The note pointsout that in perfect accordance` with its right and with the utmost courtesy." the United States has required Britain to make arrangements for the payment of the accrued" interest on the war debt since- l919 and to repay the `loan, on a funded basis in twenty-five years.` .The British note---addressed to her European allies and one copy sent to Washington--states that under the circumstances Britain is com- pelled to ask her rallies towmake arrange- ments looking to the payment of their debt to her. Britain regrets having to adopt such a course, her wish being to follow a far `different one in the hope of aiding in the quick restoration of normal conditions in Europe.

Britain owes the United States eight hun- dred and fifty million pounds, to which has to be added accrued interest since 1910. In plain but courteous words it is vpointed`out that this debt to the United States was incurred `solely for her allies and not_ for Britain, the United` States having insisted in substance, if riot`? in form, that although the other allies were `to spend the money it would only -be on the security of Britain that it would be lent.

Dr. Bell himself fre- gave the first exhibition ofthe invention to a few-friends. The home at Brantford which has many souvenirs and mementoes of Dr. Bell is preserved as a point of public interest.- There is also .a striking monu- ment in the town to him. Dr. Bell was an inventor and an improver of many other things for the benefit of humanity in ad- dition to that immensely useful conven- ience of modern life, the telephone; but his name will ever be associated with that. He gave freely of his time and his means for the benefit of humanity, and was a` fineand likeable man in many ways. It is a "tribute to Canada that this country restored him to health when he wzm brought here by hisfather in that hope. Dr. Bell was even then a-young man. For a whil his strength was not sufficient to enable him to take part in the life a of that city near where he lived, but when `he began to gain robustness,- he made the acquaintance of .many Brantfordites and left a distinct impression on their minds though he was generally regarded as being somewhat eccentric. Canada can jmtly Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone that bears his name, and who died at his summer residence at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, was Canada s most famous scientist. Though a native of Scotland he was residing in Brantford. Ontario, when he began the experiments that resulted in the telephpne. These were conducted through a series of years when Dr. Bell - was spending his summers in the Brant- ford h-ome-*or rather in-the home just near Brantford--and the rest of the year at Boston University introducing ,a system of visible speaking, the invention of_ his father. In spite of all the cla.ims to the contrary. and particularly in the United States, where he spent a great deal of his time, the discovery of the telephone, both an fn ifc rnnin r\I':nn:v\ln -n.-I put 6..."... There has been a short but` father bloody revolutionary outbreak in Brazil of which the rest of the world has heard comparatively little: President Pessoa s administration was trembling in the bal- ance" for a while, it is -asserted, but the revolutionists were crushed after hard fight- ing. The trouble seems tohave arisen over the President s making appointments to office in the face of the expressed prefer- ence of the peoplefor other appointees. There are many Canadian interests in Brazil. none of which seems to have been jeopardized. ' l l l I l | i W autn. Luv ureumu government was told in plain language that France, Italy and, Britain would not hesitate to attack any` Greek forces marching toward the Turkish capital. Observers in old lands see in the latest move an attempt to save the Greek monarchy from exile. They figure out, that Greece is anxious to withdraw fromi l the campaign against the Turk Nationa-5 1 lists which involves the keeping of nearly! three hundred thousand men in the field? and the expenditure of seven million dollars 4 monthly. Though failing in the attempted? capture of Angora from the Nationalists the Greeks, nevertheless by force or by treaty arrangements following the war, have `confirmed themselvm in the occupa- tion of considerable territory. Looking ; ,after part of this would keep them busyiy enough without proceeding further in thef. fight with the Nationalists. The peopleli are discontented in the home land because ii of the drain on the man power and thel finances of the country, hence the dram- atic move as to Constantinople. With that i. city and its surrounding territory in their: possession, the Greeks could` abandon other claims and still satisfy national aspira-`;. tions. They would also, probably, give-;. much of the credit for attaining the goal.1 to King Constantine. As things are now I] they may turn against him any day. An- it other point "to strengthen the view that the Greeks will back out 'of some of the. 1 territory they have" occupied is seen in l,- their declaration of an autonomous state, under Greek protection, in part of Asia`. Minor` and which is to bear the ancient i( name of Ionia. It s a great game of'] national and international politics that ., being played, but one notices`that Britain is being called upon to furnish the bulk of men and ships to keep the peace around Constantinople. Greece has a genius for getting into trouble. Having failed in her campaign against the Turkish Nationalists, she sud- denly startled` the old world with the an- nouncement that her armies would march upon and occupy Constantinople. Britain \ and France answered within the hourthat the Greek communication was received thatno such movement would be tolerated. The comparatively small garrison in Con- stantinople, which also includes `Italians; has been strengthened by. additional Bri- tish troops from Malta. A British fleet has also arrived to strengthen the naval forces off Constantinople and in adjacentl . u I waters. The Grecian government told! in nlnin lnnmmun that L`.-..n,...

France 3 has brusquelyl dismissed the German re-I quest for a partial moratorium on what are known as the subsidiary reparations. Requests for postponement of payments on debts incurred to French citizens before the war are also declined. This comes on the eve of a new conference .of allied pre- miers at which all these questions will once more be discussed. France is ob~ viously disinclined to believe that the Ger- mans are so incapable of meeting their obligations as the Germans claim. Follow- ing the failure of their petitions to the French government. the German authori-l ties are saying that a series of new financiall crises are inevitable `in their countryl where the mark--approximately 24 centl at 'par---is now down to between "600 and` 700 to the dollar. ` I uvau U1 unuc wuu nuIupe_ so long as moan of the countries there are in a practicallyl hopeless financial condition.
