SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICLE nations, without going to war, an ac tion that is not even remotely consid ered possible. None of the countries irf the World war have the least de sire to start another war, judging by their repeated expressions. Without force it does not seem likely that Germany can be made to pay the present debts and every indication points to a deep cut in the amount due. It appears more than likely that the senate eventually will decide to find out exactly how much Germany can afford to pay and then set in motion th« machinery for collecting that amount, shaping domestic legislation to provide for the required increase in taxes that will have to be levied to | [U offset such reduction. The failure of congress to legislate approval of the chief executive’s action in granting a moratorium to Germany, which ex- {ured on December 15, places that country in the light of a defaulter on its obligations, but this has been dis counted and congress’ approval, con sidered merely as a perfunctory ac tion, is expected any time.
