FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1919 Bread Cast Upon The Waters The United States has upon occa- sion proved itself to be a nation not entirely material in its nature. We have done generous things, cast our bread upon the waters in many in- stances, even before the outbreak of the great war. And another oppor- unity is presenting itself for a dem- onstration of the fact that we do not think altogether in terms of dollars and cents, but sometimes in terms of humanity as well. It has been suggested by John J. Arnold, vice president of the First National Bank of Chicago, that the United States use the interest to be paid by the European countries upon their great war debt to us to help in the rehabilitation of those sections of Europe that suffered most from the war. Such a policy would, Mr. Arnold asserts, effectually destroy the idea of Europe that the United States is devoted only to the practice of a "dollar diplomacy," as has been so generally charged against us and so universally believed. After the settlement of the Boxer uprising in China, this country, to- gether with those other countries of Europe that assisted in the work, de- manded and received from China a considerable indemnity. Later the United States with Quixotic diplo- macy little understood by her associ- ates in the affair, remitted to China the money that had been paid in in- demnity. The effect upon China of that bit of justice and voluntary gen- erosity has 'been quite conspicuously evident ever since, for, China imme- diately set aside the fund to be used to send Chinese students to Am- erican colleges in order that Am- erican institutes and American cus- toms may be learned and, so far as practicable, American policies may be introduced into the far eastern republic. The investment in the friendship and good will of China has been worth far more than it has cost us in the sacrifice of tHe money that we took because we happened to be in a position to demand it. Similarly the application of the in- terest upon the war debts of the European countries to us to the re- building of the devastated regions the waters, bound to return to us many fold.
