The debt adjustment

President Calvin Coolidge and Andrew Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, watch as a young man (U.S. taxpayer) and an old man (France) transport a load (France's debt to U.S.) on a stick (payment of 1% per year for five years). The old man complains of back pain, while the young man ignores him.
