I remember Cal Coolidge's reply to suggestion that Britain's war debts to us be reduced, and he replied: "They hired the money didn't they?" -wwh

Now Doc, aren't we walking too many exaggerated miles barefoot in the snow to a unheated schoolshack to be
believed by the cosmopolitan people on this board? If you heard Coolidge's remarks on the British war debts on the radio in 1925, you must have been about zero years old.

By the way, Did the Brits ever paid us back?
