Great Britain's note te her debtor nn-
tlens suggesting cancellation of tlie
whole Inter-allied indebtedness will
cause no rhange in the policy of the
TTnited States toward its foreign debts.
It was stated officially today at tl'
Treasury.
Secretary Mellen was represented ns
taking the position that the American
I)cbt t'ommisslen must continue nego nege nego
tintiens for funding the obligations
owed this country without regard te thp
disposition evitie"d bv Gn-at Britain

had acknowledged Kngland's wnr !ebt

willingness te lii(uldnte the debt with ,
Interest nnd had nnneunced the sending,
of a financial mission In September te
discuss arrangements for payment, there

In a sense the visit of the American I

will be in a permanent building, later

ALL that these explanations and

The world has just been through a
war which cost the lives 0f millions of ,

Europe, shattered anil devastated, is
struggling te get en Its feet.
Millions of homes mourn the less of

homes have been swept from the face

What the remedy is no man can tell ;
though nil intelligent people are M-eking

And three or four years after the
end of tlie war a tennis player tells the
whole world that a mutch wus lest be.

et uie voters entlrelj without repre
sentation. Then the Government is net
similar te n democracy at all. but te a
monarchy, with the largest organized
group of voters ns monarch. Majority
rule should apply when council makes
a decision : but net in electing the body
which makes the decision.
"Tlie advocate of proportional repre
sentation proposes te get back te the
basis of democracy by placing names
of candidates en the ballet by petition
nnd inviting each voter te marl; them in
the order of his preference.
These With Queta Win
"When the votes are counted, there O
is first determined the 'quota.' or I
proportion of ballets necessary te elect ! e
a candidate. Any candidate with thnt i tl
many votes is immediately recognized as
elected. If he has mere than the re
quired 'quota.' his ballets in excess of
the quota nre transferred te the candi
dates whom the voters marked ns their
second choices.
"When all the surpluses nre trans
ferred, if by then the full number of
successful candidates has net been
chosen, n heirinniiiir Is made at the ether
etui of the list. The low enndidntes are C
dropped, in order, and their ballets
transferred, according te tlie spcend I
and ether choices marked en them, te)
tlie ethers still In the running, until
the required number of successful can-
didates is determined.
"Proportional representation is ad
vocated because it Insures voters ngnin-t
wating their ballets. If an over
whelming number of votes is cast for a
popular candidate, no vote N lest, lie
cause the ballets net needed te elfct
him nre leunted for the second or third
or subsequent choices expiesed en
them. The element of chance iuvehed
in selecting certain ballets, rather than
certain ether ballets, for transfer, has
been calculated te be something lcss,
tlian 1 per cent, nnd It ma be elimi
nated entirely. Ner need any one be
deterred from voting his honest
preference for fear that by se doing lie
will be dividing the .streng'li of the op
position te a candidate he wishes par
ticularly te defeat. He can mark Ills
second choice se ids ballet will go te a
third candidate whom lie will accept in
