Critique of Justice Clarke on World War I debts and US role
The piece argues that US losses were far smaller than the allies and that US wartime support did not begin until 1917. It disputes Clarke’s view of debt cancellation arguing it would exceed constitutional authorization and raise federal court challenges over public bond funds. The author says allies owe the US as much for saving the common cause and warns against using public money to buy foreign goodwill.
