Friday, August 31, 1945 BRITAIN ACTING UNWISELY WOULD BE defrauders OF VETERANS The Better Business Bureau of Washington is distribut ing booklets, we are informed, to returning veterans warn ing them against '^typical swindles.*' Emphasis is placed, we are told (we have not seen the booklet), on the fact that "nearly all business is fundamentally honest" but that there is an "unscrupulous minority of schemers masquerading un der the good name of business.” We are glad to publicize further the admonition, as epitomized in a newspaper association bulletin, which says that "swindlers are rubbing their hands at the prospect of the largest group of victims in United States history—^millions of returning war veterans with money in their pockets." We do not think most of these men are going to be as gullible as some people think—we think a lot of the get- rich-quick crowd will find the selling toughei than they an ticipate—but just the same there will be among the returning veterans the same percentage of easy-marks as there are among the general populace, plus the fact that they will have ready cash upon which the defrauder may prey. Our advice to all veterans is to investigate before spend ing, to make sure they are dealing with reliable people, and to be certain they know where they want to put their money before purchasing. And the man caught imposing on returning veterans or their families should be dealt the limit of the law.—^The Co lumbia State. ^ . NEWSPAPERS ARE PRAISED Prom Washington comes a press release in which S. George Little, special consultant of the War Finance Division of the Treasury department, gives the newspapers of the nation full credit for the success of the war bond drives. In fact he makes it very plain that the sale of war bonds kept pace with the support‘given the program by the newspapers of America. Newspaper advertising valued at $12,019,199.72 sup' ported the 7th war loan ^ve and $26,313,000,000 in total war bond sales was achieved against a quota of $14,000,- 000,000. Mr. Little in a letter to The Chronicle says, "I want to thank you most sincerely for helping to make the 7th war loan drive such an outstanding success."

AN ORDINANCE Sam Latimer of The Columbia State, in an editorial last week, says that if Great Britain realized just how much it still ^icks in the American craw that she never paid her first World War debt, she would steer a far different course this time. * For it appears from London news headlines that Britain seeks to have her debts to the United States cut in half. She would pay 60 cents on the remaining dollars—with United States money—and give lOU’s for the rest. The editor of The State points out that if the Britons had borne more than their share of the cost, had shouldered the greater load in defeating the Axis, had furnished more troops, there might be some reason to ask for a debt adjustment. But such is not the case. As it was the United States that spent the money,^fumi8hed the troop power and led in the defeat of Germany and Italy. American diplomats and financial officers were obvious ly jolted by the London proposal to scale the British debts in half. America values the friendship of England. But as Mr. Latimer points out, "so does a banker want to have the goodwill of those who owe money at his bank. But its other people’s money he is handling and if he is a sound banker, he makes the bank’s debtors pay. If the debter is in tight straights, he is willing to work out a plan to help him. That is good business. So it is in international finance. It is the people’s money our Washing^n officials are hanging. We should not squeeze our English cousins, but thej^hould pay in full on a reasonable sch^ule. The fact remains that we were too generous after the first World War. We saved the British Empire then and we saved it again in the war just concluded. And from London reports we are going to be gyped on the matter of debts again. It is to be hoped that Great Britain will not act hastily in this matter. In a bill game a batter is out on three atrikes. We hope that Great Britain will not put the batter behind the pitcher with a second strikeout. B^ause if a third strike crosses the plate there will be no batter there to be fooled by it.
