These debts have been computed in England to amount, with interest. to at least. £65,000,000. They have heen in existenes from fifty-five to eighty-five years. and are mainly wing to British bondholders, who have made repeated unsuccessful attempts to obtain repayment.

This is the first time that serious attention has been given to the matter in any influential quarter in America.

"Money Lent To State."

The attitude of the repudiating States is plainly deserving of some sympathy, but the Englishman who lost his money cannot be expected to see the logic of the situation as well as some of us cai. He lent his money to the then official State Governments. Naturally he would like to see it back.

The honour of the nation as a whole is involved when debts to foreigners are repudiated by any part of it. Just recently we lost an excellent opportunity to make good on these bonds. In funding the British war debt we did so on Abans of the present value of £60,000,000, or a total reduction of £283,000,000, which was more than five times the amount of the re- pudiated bonds with interest down to the present day.

Sooner or later, therefore, the war debts will be scaled down again.

Then will come our chance. Then we must tell Rritain that we will accept the repudiated bonds as part payment on her war debts. We should accept them at face value, and pay interest to date at the rate which we allow on the war debt settlement."

OLD TAPESTRY TO ORDER.

MADE BY UNSKILLED WORKERS.

-SYSTEM DEVISED BY AN ENGINEER.

BRUSSELS. By applying scientific laws and methods to art M Jean Sere- briakoff, an engineer, has, accord- ing to the Etude Belge, discovered a means of producing exact imita- tions of Gobelins tapestries at a teath of the cost and in a tenth of the time needed to make the originals.

A picture, a landscape, a portrait, says M. Serebriakoff, are nothing but ensembles of lines. The line is the simple element of all works of art and has its mathematical laws; but it has, too, its "psychology," which, argues M. Serebriakoff, is the point de liaison between exact science and pure art.

It is a practical possibility, sim- ple and accessible to everybody, to decipher this psychology, and that discovery has enabled M. Serebria koff to reproduce works of art with the aid of unskilled workers, having no notion of either tapestry or design.

MECHANISED WHALING.

PERIL OF EXTERMINATING THE SPECIES.

DUNEDIN (N.Z.), When he was in Dunedin Sir Dougige 3awson was asked what would be the final result of the present wholesale destruction of whales Sir Douglas is the great- eet living authority on Antarctica.

He said he believed in the whal ing industry, but it required to be under control. Without control and restriction the industry would socn be dead and gone.

It must be remembered that the control would have to extend over every part of the seas inhabited by whales.

The writer in the Etoile Belge for a whale to come to its full size, It took a long period of years states that he was shown a repro- duction of the Virgin, by Van Eyck, and it lived for well over 100 years. and that in aspect and colourning it It could thus be seen that with differed in no way from the French unrestricted killing by the latest Gobelina He adds:

The effect of the killing might not be noticed for a short while, said Bir Douglas, but it would then rapidly make itself felt.

The new invention will permit of a large production and diffusion of these objects of art among classes who, until now, have known the art of tapestry by name only. This industry should be very interesting for He indicated that some progress Belgium, because the production had been made towards an inter- could be exported.
