Kramer FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1925 Night Editor-NORMAN R, THAL AN INCH FOR A lIWLE The United States is not the only nation which is experiencing consid- erable trouble in getting an official and definite statement from France as to what, how, and when in regardj to the payment of her war debts. Dis- patches from London indicate that Creat Britain does not intend to per- mit any delay in French action on Chancellor Winston Churchill's note concerning the French debt of about $3,125,000,000 owed to the British. There are several factors to con- cteeks 'whlen they ar' r.',:rnood ';m he banks. It is doubtful if this w Ill lave much effect. Persons vho pass had checks wouldn't have any shame to speak of. It may, however, start people thinking aleng the right iine:s. They may come to realh'e the g of what they do carelesly. The practice may be regarded as just another manife tation of the gen- eral tendency of students-and other classes of people-to attempt to get something for nothing. They cheat in finals, they borrow theses, and try to make themselves believe they are get- ting an education. With the habit or thinking in this vein thoroughly es- tablished they try to put one over in the realm of things financial. And sometimes they get away with it. It is this latter aspect that causes t trouble. No harm is done providing the gull, ty individual is apprehended-he 1ha,, to pay. It is the number of cheeks that are passed successfully which eventually may force all commercial establishments, including the Union. to refuse this distinct service to the students. Perhaps a few threatened prosecutions might help, just to put a. little fear in the hearts of the trans- gressors. Until such time, however, honest students must cooperate by keeping tab en their accounts; those with "criminal tendencies" had better mend their ways before they take to robbing banks-the great American indoor sport. BRITAIN, FACEM A hUMI WAR With a full grown ?iec r bootleg;g- ing industry just discovered on her southern coast, Great Britain is fats- ing a huge rum war which will prob- ably be necessary to stop the influx of thousands of dollars worth of !r'nch brandies. wines, and chai- aigns which are being smuggled into the country every week by a fleet of small and speedy run-running launch- es, very similar to those being used l along the coast of "te United:Stat-s. This new situation ought to be the means of arousing a mWores ympatbetic ,nd coonerative spirit on the part of the British toward America, wvhre. for the past six years. prohibition r-f- Jiials have been struiggling not only i i .
