WASHINGTON nee. 29. Hav-
ing proclaimed that eating of moat
Is healthful the department of
agriculture today took Its second
step in the campaign to stimulate
tho use of meat n an aid to the
livestock Industry which has been
feeling the offects of decreased
use. A four-colored poster dis-
playing as Its central figure a well
garnished roast of beet in natural
colors was released for use by
various organltatlons which plan
to ill.ttrlbuto it for display
throughout the country.
' Over tne name of the depart-
ment of agriculture the poster
says:
"Meat Is uholeaome. For health
and vigor at jvell balanced meals.
I'se variety of kinds and cut of
meat."
In announcing the new poster
tlyi department said: -
"Moat Is the cornerstone of the
diet In our western civilisation.
Its 'economic purpose In agrieul-
turp and industry is not less than
Its nutritional value. Meat fish
poultry cheese milk and eggs are
foods that insure the human body
tho protein neeeranry for tissue
building purposes. The greatest
of these Is moat."

a large part of Europe'3 burden in
addition. No demands of ours stand
In tho way of a proper settlement Of
the reparations question.
"Of course we hotd the obligations
of Kuropoan government and thero
has been much discussion abroad
and here with respect to them. There
haw been a persistent attempt over
slnco tho armistice to link up tho
debts owing to our government with
reparations or with projects of can-
cellation. This attempt wan leslst-
ed In a determined manner under
tho former administration and under
the present administration.
"Tho matter Is plain enough from
our standpoint. The capacity of Cler.
many to pay Is not at all affected by
any indebtedness of any of the allies
to us. That Indebtedness does not
diminish Germany's capacity and ita
removal 'would not lncrti.' her ca-
pacity. For example if Franco l.ad
been able to frliance her part in the
war without borrowing at nil f-'m
us that Is by taxation and Internal
loans tho problem of what Gormany
could pay would be exactly tho same.
Moreover so far as the debtors to
tho United State3 are conctrned
they have unsettled credit balances
and their conditions and capacry to
pay cannot bo properly determined
until tho amount that 'an bo rea-
lized on these credits for repara-
tions has bnen determined
Congress Has Whip Hand
"Tho administration must also
consider tho difficulty arislni; from
the fact that tho question of these
obligations which we hold and what
shall do done With them Is not a
question within the province of the
executive. Not only may congress
deal with public property of this
sort but it bus dealt with it. It has
created a Qojnmisslon and instead of
giving that commission broad pow-
ers such as the Administration pro-
poued which quite apart from can-
cellation might permit a sound dis-
cretion to be exercised in accord-
ance with the facts elicited con-
gress has placed definite restrictions
upon the power of thu commission
in providing for the refunding of
those debts.
"liuV what Is our attitude toward
the question of reparations stand-
ing as it dor a a distinct question
nnd as one Vhlch cannot bo settled
miles the Kuropean governments
concerned are able to agree?
"We have no desire to see Ger-
many relieved of her responsibility
for tho war or of her Just obliga-
tions to make reparations for the
injuries due to her aggression. There
is not the slightest desire that
Franco shall Ibsu any part of her
Just claims. On the other hand
we do n .t wish to w i prostrate

must be hope and ItutUHtry must
have promise of r.euaicl it theie is
to b prosperity We should view
with disfavor measures which In-
stead of producing reparations
would threaten dlsnsttr
America. N'ot Imlteil
"Some of our own people have
suggwted that the United States
nhcwld Hasifme the role of arbiter.
There in on sufficient answer to
this (suggestion and that la that we
have not been asked to assume the
roll of arbiter. There could be no
such arbitrament uuleeo It were In-
vited and it would be an extraor-
dinary and unprecedented thing for
us to ask for such an Invitation.
"I do not think that wo uhould
endeavor to take such a burdeu of
responsibility wo have oulte enough
to bear without drawing to ourselven
all this Ill-feeling which would re-
sult from disappointed hopes and
a settlement which woa viewed us
furced upon nations by this country
which at tho same time Is demand
ing tho payments of Its debts.
"Hut the sanation dues call for a
settlement upon ltn merits. Tho
first condition of a satlsfactoiy Mt-
tlement la that tho question should
be taken out of politics. Statesmen
havo their difficulties their public
opinion the exigencies which they
musl fAco. It 1 devoutly to bo
honed that they will effect settle
ment among themselves ami that the
coming meeting at Paris will find a
solution. Bui If It does not wbatl
should be done? The alternative of
forcible rnoastirus to obtain repara-
tions is not an attractive one. No
one can foreloll the extent of tho
sorious consequences which might
enauu from ouch a course. Apart
from political results t believe that
tho opinion of experts is that such
measures will nut produce repara-
tions payments but 'might tend to
detttroy the basis of those payments
which must be found In economic
recuperation.
"If however tttatesmen cannot
agree and mich an alternative is
faced what can bo done? Is thutu
not another way out? The funda-
mental conditions Is thai In this
critical moment the merits of the
question; a an economic one must
alone bs regarded. Sentiment how-
ever natural must bo disregarded;
mutual recriminations ara of no
avail: reviews of the past whethor
He uiun' oi lru via ate prorrt'S'
nothing; Rs.-ertlons of blame on the
ono hand and excuse on the other
come to naught.
"There ought to be a way for
rtatoemen to agree' upon what Ger-
many can pay for no matter what
claims may be made against her
that lg th0 limit of sstlnftvctlon.
There ought to be a 'y to deter-
mine that limit and provide a finan-

mi Its rau lie obtained and the Ku-
ropean nations can feel that the

mutual ami earneat endeavors to

ple entitle them.

tion. "Why xliould they not Invite men
of the highest authority lu finance
In their respective countries men

amount to bo paid and upon a fi-
nancial plan for working out the
payments would be accepted

(loverumentH need not bind them-

In othor words they may Invito an

"I havo no doubt that distin-

recommendation upon which such a
body agreed they would bo freo to
do bo but they would havo the ad-
vantngo of Impartial advice and of
