Answer:
<em>Unpaid WWI debts.</em>
Explanation:
During WWI, USA loaned money to Allies such as United Kingdom, France, Belgium etc, so they can provide themselves with weaponry and other war material. After the war was finished, Allies were broke and they were not in the situation to pay back loans and they relied on Germany who had the obligation to pay the reparation costs for all the damage in WWI. But Germany was in a bad situation too, so they lent money from the USA so they can meet its obligations. So all ll of them were sucked into this vicious circle. USA also collapsed thanks to loans of these two sides. Germany was pressed to come up with the money, but its industry was shut down, they tried to solve this problem by printing a lot of money, but that only caused hyperinflation. So, as Hoover said: <u><em>We are now faced with the problem, not of saving Germany or Britain, but of saving ourselves.</em></u>
I agree with the other person - pride is something that Hrothgar cautions Beowulf against. Excessive pride (also known as hubris in Anglo-Saxon poetry) is not a desirable characteristic that a leader/warrior should have because it will lead them to their demise in the end. This is what happened to Beowulf ultimately - he thought he could defeat the dragon in his old age because of his hubris, and because of it, he died.

One major idea or theme of "No Gumption," by Russell Baker, is that one should set realistic expectations for oneself or others. A sentence that directly develops or refines the main idea is: "My mother finally concluded that I would never make something of myself by pursuing a life in business and started considering careers that demanded less competitive zeal." The sentence illustrates how Buddy's mother begins to change her mind about her son being a paperboy. In fact, he does not like selling newspapers at all. However, for three years his mother insists that he must keep trying. In the end, she gives up and starts to consider careers other than business that do not require great effort from Buddy. Finally, after reading his composition, she realizes that he could be a good writer.
