TIHJ chart shows—by comparative scale—how the five principal European debtor nations are spending
for military purposes each year an amount much greater than their scheduled debt payments to the
United States—a fact cited by advocates of reduced armaments,
The figures on armament costs are as of 1931 (with the exception of Belgium, which is for 1930) and the
debt figures represent the payments due in the fiscal year 1932. These payments were postponed by the
Hoover one-year moratorium, now expired.
Combined, European debtor nations were scheduled ‘o pay the United States about $247,000,000 in 1932
toward the retirement of their debts. Their combined expenditures for armaments represent about 352,-
500,000,000 a year, or nine times that much.
