Debts to America Prompted by Coolidge Mellon Stand
A regional column argues to back President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon in pressuring France to repay billions owed to the United States. It criticizes American figures who gentler toward France and urges readers to oppose foreign bond sales until debt terms are settled, warning of consequences for American taxpayers and national security. The piece cites bankers like Otto H. Kahn and James M. Beck and laments pro France sentiment among some elites while calling for a firm American stance. A separate sale notice follows detailing farm equipment for auction with payment terms.
