(United Phase)

GENEVA. Dec. 104- The Unite States is now. leading the entir

just completed by Nations. Reduced to the basis 0i pre-wa

just thirteen times before the W81‘-

ullt till

world in increase in public debt, according to a world-wide study the League oi

prices for the purpoae of_ compari- son. America's public debt is now what it was

‘filo English debt comes next, with an increase of seven times ovcr tile pre-war debt, and ‘France comes next. with an increase ot‘ on- ly three times oi her pro-war debt.

Ono of the surprising develop

, whore the increase has been the ‘ groatest, namely. the United States

mcnts of the league's investigation into the. present. status of public tlobts. however, is the fact that it in only in those two countries

and England, that ally substantial progress has been made towards tho repayments of these debts.

According to the league's investi- glliidll. Finland carries off the palm for the smallest increase in hcr public debt: South Africa comes next, and then Switzerland and Sweden.

Germany. however, is marked down as being about the luckiest country oi them all, because of the fact that by her "kolossal" infla- tion of currency her public debt is practically wiped out.

Another interesting fact which the league investigation developed is that. the loans issued by Holland Sweden and Switzerland in the Un- ited States during 1910, 1920 and 1921 ‘have since been virtually all brought back by wealthy indivi- duals of those countries.

The league's investigation also covered the present status oi‘ the budgets oi all the leading coun- tries of thsworld. While it was found that a policy oi severe re-_ trenchment has been put into force in nearly all countries and heavy saving effected, nevertheless. the increase in the public debts of vir- tually all counries has swallowed up all that has been saved in cut- ting down administrative expenses.

The detailed report is now beingl sont by the league to all 0i‘ the nu- tioue of the world as an indication of what progress is being made to- wards getting back to "normalcy."
