Latin American Debt Holiday?

Much can be said in favor of extending to Latin
American debtors the principle of the Hoover holiday
plan for European war debt payments But obviously
it is task private bankers and not for the Wash
ington government Even private bankers mora
torium would have to be hedged about with careful
restrictions or it might do more harm than good.
Those who have been bringing pressure Presi-
dent Hoover for such action, ignore fundamental
difference between the European and the Latin
American financial obligation. The former are inter-
governmental debts, and be handled only by gov
ernmental action. The latter debts of Latin
American government to private banks and bond
holders in this country.
There are also, of course European debts to Amer
lean private banks and bondholders, but they were
excluded expressly by Hoover from the moratorium
plan
Thus the net effect Of the proposed Hoover mora
torium on intergovernmental war debts and repara-
tons is to protect and increase the value of the pri
vately held European debts which is greatly to the
interest of the American bankers The is true
in Latin America. A moratorium would not mean
an immediate gain, but immediate loss to the
!, American bankers.
Immediate loss Of payments for year two how
ever, would be preferable from a bankers point OF
view to later default and bankruptcy of the debtors.
That this is something than imaginary dan
ger is demonstrated by the recent defaults of Peru and
Bolivia.
NO informed person viii deny the critical condition
of most atin-American countries financially and the
consequent critical political situation in many of those
countries. The recent epidemic Of Latin-American
revolutions and growing unrest reflect those unhealthy
economic conditions.
Responsibility for the bankruptcy of many
Latin-Amercan governments does not rest solely with
the extravaganza and, in cases the corruption
of local politicians. American bankers also are to
blame American bankers in many cases encouraged
irresponsible LatinAmerican governments to borrow
money which those governments did not need or
could not afford.
So there is added justice in the demand that the
American bankers themselves provide the moratorium
necessitated in part by their questionable bank
ing practices.
AS In the case of any other legitimate moratorium
this would benefit in the end not only the debtor but
TIE creditor And in this particular instance 1t
would benefit American trade generally
We shall not emerge completely from this depres-
sion until we have regained lucrative foreign mar
kst Of which Latin America is an important Rsrt
private moratorium, If followed by governmental re-

Just Smart Crackers

NXTE Americans have made a

other things of similar stripe since
the war.
No nation on earth has done half
the joy-riding, listened to half the

half the volume of lipSticks.
No nation on earth can show half
the number of ise-crackers or
comic strip artists.
But both our domestic and for
eign trade is going down, especially
in those lines connected with the
serious business of life.
Steel, cattle, wheat, corn and
other basic commodities are not
playing as substantial a part in the
American economic structure as
they were twenty years ago.
By and large, this is due to the
peculiar channels in which our men
tally has chosen to travel.
We prefer to be clever, smart and
sensational, to get the spotlight, if
only for moment, to do stunts
that hold out the promise of a
Hollywood contract, to write books
that will shock people, and, above
all else, try to get out of every kind

The Real War

Behind what appears to be controversy
between two companies for the privilege OF
selling natural gas to industries of Indian
apolis is the shadow of real war.
It is more than quarrel between two
utilities. These are won or lost, settled or
compromised, as financiers dictate and al
ways to the detriment of the people.
But the real war is against public own
ership in Indianapolis.
The prospective profits from private own
ership of the gas company, tempting as they
are, sink into insignifcance when compared
with the danger that is inherent to the swol-
len profits of gas companies in other cities II
once indianapolis demonstrates that it is
possible to furnish cheap fuel under public
ownership to it's residents.
That is the reason strange things are
happening in indianapolis, in New York, IN
the places where utility barons plan to sub
due the first murmer of uprising of the pub
lie serf.
The city has won its first skirnnish with
the forces of privilege. The supreme court
had said that the people are entitled to take
fixed twenty-five years ago.
But that is only beginning. There are
bankers and bondholders who are planning
more legal attacks on the project. There are
shrewd lawyers in New York and Indian
apolis who are plotting to throw out the Gre
alton of the utility district as a means of
financing public ownership. There are others
who are plotting suits to break the lease be-
tween the Citizens and the old Indianapolis
Gas Company
The purpose is to destroy public owner
ship or so wear down the patience of the peo-
ole that it will be delayed for years.
One of the concerns, not the one with
which the local manufacturers are dealing
in a hope of gaining cheaper fuel for their
factories, has vast holdings in other cities.
It operates in the three largest Ohio cities
and has litigation in all. It's charges are a
matter of public protest
If indianapolis obtains real public own
ership and efficient management, gas rates
will fall in every other city. Even the most
servile of public service commissions can not
stand deadly comparisons.
That is the war behind the natural gas
controversy. The manufacturers of this city
want natural gas. They assert that their
plan will not interfere with public owner
ship, but aid it.
On the other hand, sincere friends of
public ownership are afraid of any change
of conditions until all legal matters are set
tied.
And back in the financial centers utility
monopolies are preparing for a real war,
war that will lose for them on every front
if once this city obtains it's freedom from the
plunderbund.

We are surprised at the fact that

Editor Tines-A few days ago I
read the speech of Chief Last Man,
a Sioux fighter, aged IS. His speech
contained twenty-four words-abc It
four lines. He said: "Pale faces
run here and run there. Rush to
work and rush home. Heap big
hurry bout nothing. Pale faces
damn fools. All crazy"
On Monday, June Is, the leader
of great nation, President Hoover,
spoke. His speech contained about
75o' lines, approximately $3.50
words. Dare say that I find more
real truth in the four lines, twenty
four words, than in the $50 lines,
$3.50 words.
Billy Sunday used to enter our
cities with his religious slang. When
he left we forgot both him and his
slang, so we forget the speech Of
Mr.. Hoover. But we can not for

are, what hopeless imbecilic rulers

Trouble is caused, according to
DR.. Alice Hamilton, by the long
continued muscular contraction of
the fingers that hold the tool, the
vibration of the tool and cold.

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor TimeS-The piece I sent
in to be published on prohibition, I
found was answered by N. o. F,
am sorry that he failed to give
his address and sign his full name.
am sure I would enjoy a debate
with him, for his views are ali
wrong about being more drunks
now than in saloon days.
I have been in sixteen states and
many large cities since prohibition,
and 7 will say I used to see more
DRINKS in my home town on a Sat-
urday night in our saloon days than
I saw in my visit to all the six
teen states.
I believe that you are mistaken
about all the prisons being full of
men poisoned on bootleg whisky,
for our Ladoga jail has had only
one drunk man in it in the last
two years, and in our saloon days
it was common thing to have
from ten to twenty DRINKS Gagged
in one night.
I wish to state when We had
saloons they were prohibited from
opening on Sunday and holidays,
so there were bootleggers in the
alleys back Of the saloons selling
liquor even to minors. The liquor
traffic proved long ago that it will
not abide by law.
To hear the chatter one would
imagine that prohibition is the one
thing which prevents our law en-
forcement machine from function
ing efficiently.
I will admit that we have the
bootlegger today, but bootlegger cor
ruption is mild compared with the
corruption we had when the liquor
business was legalized. I think that
for every bootlegger today there are
ninety-nine young men helping to
support families.
1t is a great alibi that prohibition
is causing, this depression-people
being out az work, food and cloth
ing. I want to ask why are the
people in Europe worse of than we
are? They are out of work and
starving with their wide-open
saloons.
I don't see any grounds for blam-
ing the change of the markets on
the prohibition law. I lived on the
farm in 1894 and received only Is

Professor Michael Pupin Of Co

A first glance at the book causes
one to stop and ponder upon the
general differences between the ra-

Britain. At the present moment I
can think of no broadcasting ven
ture in America to compare with
this British one.
The twelve talks were given by
