Britain’s War Debt to the United States
\X7ASHINGTo\\—Funding of the
$4,135,000,000 war debt o\Yod by
fJreiit Britain to the United States Is
declared by Secretary Mellon to have
no relation to the war loans made by
the l nited States and (treat Britain
to other governments or to questions
arising in connection with reparations
, payments of the former central puw-
! era.
! The treasury secretary maria his
, declaration In a formal statement, |s-
! sued, he said, on account of numerous
| inquiries reaching the treasury as to
■ the exact status of the obligations of
the various European governments
held i.y the United States with respect
I to the British debt.
Reports have been published and
statements made in some quarters, Mr.
| Mellon said, that the British liability
was not Incurred for the British gov-
ernment. hut for the other allies, and
that the I'tdted States, In making the
original arrangements, had Insisted, in
substance, that, though the other al-
lies were to use the money borrowed.
It was only on British security the
United States was prepared to lend It.
"In answer to these Inquiries," Mr.
Mellon staled. “It should he said the
obligations of foreign governments in
question had their origin almost en-
tirely In purchases made In the Unit*
ed States, and the advances made by
the United States government were
for the purpose of covering payments
for these purchases by the allies.
“The statement that the United
States government virtually Insisted
on n guarantee by the British govern-
ment of amounts advanced to the other
allies is evidently based on a misap-
prehension. Instead of Insisting on a
guarantee or any transaction of that
nature, the United States government
took the position that It would make
advances to each government to cover
tin* purchases made by that govern-

ASCINATINO are the “Decisive Buttles
of the World”—if not in themselves us
battles, then In their effects upon his-
tory. But many an urmed contest—
rather a skirmish from a military
viewpoint than a “decisive” engage-
ment—has had far-reaehlng results
which make u fascinating story. For
example:
Champlain. In discovering the lake
that beurs his name, used his arque-
buses on a hand of Indians from the
Iroquois Uonfederncy and set them
running home to the Mohawk valley of New York.
'J ills was In 1009, two years after the founding of
Jamestown, eleven years before the landing of the
I’iigrims and eighty years before the beginning of
(lie armed clash between the French and English
for the possession of America.
It is a far cry from 1000 to 192‘J; from New
York to Montana; from Iroquois to Flatheads.
Just the same, it was Champlain who set fhe feet
«»f Marcus Whitman ami Father Blerre Jean 18*
5^met, S. J.. on the Oregon Trail two centuries
Inter. Marcus Whitman, Presbyterian missionary,
patriot, statesman and martyr, snvod Oregon and
the Pacific Northwest for the United States. Fa-
ther De Smet, greatest and most practical mission-
ary who ever labored among the American In-
dians, dotted the far Northwest with religious
and educational establishments, kept many a
savage tribe from the warpath and served well
the government of his adopted land. The history
of the American Northwest cannot he told without
Whitman and De Smet—both of whom Champluln
started over the Oregon Trail to everlasting fame.
And here is the story in brief, with its fascinating
sequiturs- sequences of cause and effect:
The Iroquois Confederacy, because of Cham-
plain's attack, swore undying enmity to the
French. The Indians of this unique confederacy—
Mohawks, Cayugns, Onondagas. Senecas. Oneidus
and Tuscaroras—by the time the French and Brit-
ish came to grips in 1089, were dictatorial over-
'ords of all the tribes from Hudson's hay to the
Cherokee frontier of the Carolines and from the
Connecticut to the Mississippi. Their geograph-
ical location and influence gave them the balance
of power between the French and the British.
They were a big factor In tlte several wars which
finally resulted in the expulsion of the French
after the capture of Quebec by Wolfe in 1750.
In the Revolution all the Iroquois kept on siding
with the British, except fhe Oneidns and part of
the Tuscaroras. They laid waste tlte American
frontier. Sullivan led an American punitive expe-
dition and destroyed their homes, crops and or-
chards. The outcome of the Revolution drove the
four hostile tribes to Canadu.
In Canadu many of the exiled Iroquois were
Christianized by Jesuit missionaries, whose prin-
cipal work In America had been in New France
and the French possessions.
In 1810 a party of 21 Iroquois left the Roman
Catholic mission of Caughnnwugn, Canada, on the
Kt. Lawrence and struck out across the Mississippi
valley. They ended up among the Flatheads of
the Bitter Root valley. These Iroquois were led
by Ignatius I,a Mousse (Old Ignace), who achieved
a (^urinating influence among the Flatheads,
taught them the rites of the Roman Catholic re-
ligion and created a tribal desire for the presence
of Bluckrobes (Jesuit missionaries) which resulted
In a decision in 18110 to send a delegation to the
white man's country to ask for them.
Here it Is profitable to glance at the chronology
of this part of the West, which was Just beginning
to get acquainted with the white man. St. Louis
was founded in 1708. The Lewis and Clark expe-
dition (1804-fD had passed through their country.
John ‘Colter had discovered the Yellowstone in
1X07, only to have it ridiculed as an impossibility
and dubbed “Colter’s Hell.” Astoria hud been
established in 1812. Gen. William 11. Ashley and his
associates of the Rocky Mountain Fur company,
with headquarters at St. Louis, hfid begun to use
the Oregon Trail soon after 1822 on their trips to
and from the annual rendezvous in the Green
River valley, or in Pierre’s Hole under the Tetons.
Four braves volunteered to carry the request for
Bluckrobes to St. Louis. There were Bluckrobes
at this outpost of civilization. Their presence
there Is a story in Itself. The restoration of the
Society of Jesus in 1814, after 41 years of suppres-
sion. found a few old Jesuit priests at Whltemarsh,
Mil.,'who had established then* the first novitiate
in the United States. In 1823 an offer of hind at
St. Louis was made to them. Twelve set out for
St. Louis April 11, 1823. They walked all the way,
carrying their goods in wagons. Among them was
young I»e Smet, who had come from Belgium in
1821 at the age of twenty. In 1827 he was or-
dained priest. In 1831 the Missouri mission was
made independent. In 1834 the petition of the
Second Provincial council at Baltimore that the
Indian Roman Catholic missions of the United
States he confined to the Society of Jesus was
granted at Rome. Thus the* Jesuits entered upon
a virgin field of labor of more than half the area
of the United States.
The four Flatheads Joined the 1831 return
train of William L. Sublette, one of the famous
Rocky Mountain Fur company’s traders, and
reached St. Louis October 1. They presented their
petition to Bishop Rosntl. Tv. » of the Indians fell
ill. They died and were hurled In the Roman
Catholic* cemetery. The two survivors left St.
Louis the* following spring, hut never reached
home. They may he the* two Indians George Gat-
lin painted—Nos. 207 and 208 in his gallery of
Indian paintings.
This unique request from the Flatheads gained
nation wide publicity. A sympathetic account was
published in the Christian Advocate. In 1833 an
editorial In the* Christian Advocate pronounced It
a call to the Christian conscience of the world
and exhorted the Protestant churches to take It
tif) In earnest. In those days, to the* East, the* name
Flathead included all the tribes In the vast area
from Montana to the mouth of the Columbia and
northward into Canada.
The Methodists raised funds nnd in 1834 started
a missionary expedition under the leadership of
Jason Lee of Canada. The party kept on past
the* Bitter Root country nnd began operations neuf
the* mouth of the Columbia.
The Presbyterians in 1835 sent Marcus Whitman
to Oregon. He returned, reported, nnd in 18",t*
went back with his wife and a party to begin his
labors at Wuiilatpu among the Cay uses.
Thus the net result of the first Flathead expe-
dition to St. Louis for Bluckrobes in Montana was
Protestant missionaries in Oregon.
The Flatheads of Montana tried a second time
to get n Black robe. In 1835 Old Ignace with his
sons Charles and Francis went to se Louis and
returned the following spring with the promise
that a Blaekrobe would be sent In time.
In 1837 tlie Flatheads started their third deputa-
tion. In consisted of Old Ignace, three Flatheads
nnd a Nez Perce. All were massacred by Sioux
en route to St. Louis.
Not in the least disheartened by these three
failures, the Flatheads sent to St. Louis a fourth
time. The two petitioners, Young Igmiri/ and
Pierre Gaudier, traveled safely by canoe down the
Yellowstone and Missouri and arrived October 21,
1839. Bishop Rosati promised them a Blaekrobe
the following spring. Gaucher immediately set
out with the good news. IB* arrived in flu* Bitter
Root valley early in the spring—a most remark-
able journey.
Father I)e Smet volunteered for the arduous
mission. At Westport (Kansas City) he Joined
the 1840 expedition of the American Fur company
to the Green River rendezvous. There De Smet
found Gaudier and ten Flatheads to meet him.
They went to Pierre's IJole. where were encamped
the main body of the Flatheads, who had come
miles to meet him, together \ylth hands of Nez
Pern s, l'end d'Oreilles and Kalispels—about 1,000
in all. He baptized and instructed, postponed his
visit to the Bitter Root and reached St. Louis by
way of the Jefferson and Missouri rivers' Decem-
ber 31. 1840.
He was then informed that there were no funds
for the promised expedition. So he went out and
raised funds. The spring of 1841 found him on
the Oregon Trail, accompanied by two priests and
G2OF FtATTffAD
Hirce lit}- brothers. At Fort Hill on the Snake
river III August lie was met by an advance purly
of Flatheads. Fussing through the site of .Mis-
soula. they went :iil miles Into the Hitter Itoot I
valley, arriving September 24. There anil ttien
I >e Smet began work on St. Mary's mission.
He Smet, In the spring of 1S42. made a Journey [
of Inspection as far ita the mouth of the Columbia. |
That full found him again in St. Louis. In 1842 j
he solicited for the mission south to New Orleans j
anil easl to Boston, and took three recruits anil
supplies to Westport and started them west.
Then he set sail for Europe. Atler visiting the
principal cities of six countries he embarked at 1
Antwerp December 12, 1841, with four fathers, a
lay brother and six sisters and supplies. The
voyage was around Cnpe Horn. They were nearly
wrecked on the Columbia river lair, hut landed
safely July 21, 1844, and went at once to the Hit-
ter Hoot mission.
