TN casting about for causes of the
present worldwide economic de-
preston and in seeking relief from
i the burdens it imposes, the question
of international debt settlements
has been brought prominently to the
front 1t seems pertinent, therefore,
that in view of the widespread mis-
understanding concerning this problem
some of the facts regarding the situa-
ton should be presented for considera-
ton. Sentimental. moral and economic
appeals advocating the cancellation of
these debts are constantly being made,
with what warrant the facts may re-
veal. Both the spirit and the judgment
of the American people and their Gov
eminent officials have been frequently
challenged in public and private state
ments concerning the problem pre-
sented. and the question naturally
arises how far under careful analysis,
these criticisms are justified.

credit. For the United States volun-
tarily to cancel the debts our Govern
ment holds would be not only to i'm
pose upon the taxpayers of this country
disproportionately large share of the
total war burden, but also to set a
dangerous precedent by violating the
principle of fulfillment of international
obligations.
Each Nation Responsible.
AS corollary of this policy it fol-
lows that the United States Government
is not concerned with the reparation
obligations or with the debts owed by
the former belligerent European nations
to one another. The debts of foreign
governments to the United States are
the definite obligations of those govern
ments and were not made contingent
on the payment of reparations or of
other debts. If any foreign government
should fail to meet its indebtedness the
United States could not turn to others
for the payment; consequently, each

It has not been an easy task
to build up this classic to its
present proportions in so short
q time. Only the finest of
cooperation between these water
Sportsmen and the various civic
interests which have stood by
has accomplished the diStinc-

Intense organization work
has been necessary, and only a
great amount of missionary
work in other boating centers
tc induce and otherwise bring
entries to Washington over the
span since 1926 when the Presi-
dents Cup was first placed in
competition, has achieved the
impending event toward which
thousands of Washington eyes
are now turned.
Meanwhile the work of this
group to which 1 refer has given
the Capital nothing short of
motor boating industry. A trip
down the placid Potomac any
afternoon, weekday, Sunday or

of the tremendous scope motor
boating embraces here, and in

JOHNSON FINES
MARBERRY
Big Fred Marberry, Griff pitch,
ing ace has been fined

Big Fred Marberry, Griff pitch
ing ace, has been fined.
Manager Johnson was forced
to take this drastic action, fol-
lowing words he had with Mar
berry after Mondays game against
the st. Louis Browns in which
Fred was taken out during the
fourth inning.
Marberry, it seems, was pretty
upset about being withdrawn
from the box. Overzealous, he
kicked over the water bucket in
the dugout, threw his glove down
and let loose a little speech
which Manager johnson felt was
quite uncalled for.
No Suspension
Thus, the fine. Johnson con-
sidered Suspending Fred following
the incident. But he changed his
mind when figuring how much
the Griffs needed the big pitch
er'S services in the current battle
for second place.
The amount of the fine has
not been divulged. 1t is to be
for 500 in all probability.
johnson had this to say about
the matter, when questioned:
Imposing a fine on Mar
berry is q disciplinary move ON
my part. hate to do such
things, bat feel I must when
incidents like 1t arise. Under
stand this. Fred and / are not
to have any more trouble.
He'll be back on the mound as
soon as his injured hand heals,
and he'll still be out there fight
Ing his head off to win. That's
just the sort Of fellow he is.
He just hates to loose, that's
all. hnd it is unfortunate that
he had to loose his head about
being taken from the mound
the other day."
The Washington times., 1931-09-16

Quite a broad prediction,
maybe, but not one of such long
shot when his capabilities are
closely noticed.
One reason for Kuhels future
possibilities is his fielding. The
other is his promise Of develop
ment as not only consistent
hitter, but a slugger.
Joe Hits Hard
This latter feature brings out
the talk of the town" idea about
the youngster. Fans who have
seen Kuhel day in and day out
at the initial sack will notice
what drive he has behind that
big bat of his when he connects.
Joe certainly gets plenty OF
distance and power in his swing.
The way the ball travels
towards the Outfield brings
thoughts of how dangerous
and more consistent 1t will be
when he finally gets that con-
fidence and experience needed
to make him a finished per-
former.
Kuhel was able to collect but
one bingle during yesterdays
game with the st. Louis Browns.
But it was a double and one OF
those sort of drives which had
power written all over it. 1t
travelled at a terrific rate of speed
to right field and hit the wall
about halfway up, scoring Cronln
from first base.
Joe'S hit didn't turn in a
triumph for the Griffmen, but 1t
helped their run-scoring cause.
The Browns won the. game finally
S to 4, with the assistance of sew,
eral errors and the faltering OF
Lloyd Brown, Griff hurler, who
toiled throughout.
Gray Hats Griffs
The Killefermen rallied for
three runs in the eighth and one
in the ninth to win. BY doing so
they cut down an early Griff lead
and made it possible for Sam
Gray, veteran hurler. to emerge
triumphant as a relief pitcher.
Gray went into the box in the
eighth inning after Pitcher Bob
COOney, Brown starter, had been
taken out for a pinch hitter in

frame.
The Griffs went pretty well
against this Cooney, who is a
youngster recently added to the
st. Louis roster by Manager
Killefer., Runs were counted in
each of the fourth and fifth.
while the game was apparently
sewed up in the seventh with the
registering of two more markers.
But the fates had it otherwise,
for Lefty Lloyd Brown ran into
trouble. as mentioned above, in
the final two innings. The Griffs

BEST MATCH

Nv GEORGE Won ELM

PROVIDENCE. r. l., Sept. l6.
Peter O'Hara may not be the most
orthodox golfer in the world, but
no one can gainsay the fact that
he took the great Walter Hagen
cut yesterday and gave him a put.
ting lesson before the assembled
multitude who had gathered TO see
the Mr.. Barnum of golf do his
stuff. Hagen, however, took is
defeat in true Hagen fashion, FOR
he has been rightly the greatest
sportsman in the game.
The real match in the Profes-
sional Golfers Association cham
pionship was between Tommy Ar
mour, the. defending champion,
and KirkWood, the man who can
do unheard-of tricks with his golf
1 predicted Tommy would have a
struggle on his hands-and he
did. They played great golf, and
for a time in the AFTERNOON it
looked like a runaway for Kirk
wood when he turned the last nine
holes 2 up.
Fate Takes Hand
But fate took a hand at that
stage and the eleventh and
twelfth holes were really the
turning point of the match. There
each was 40 feet from the flag
in two.
KirkwOOd putted dead - Ar
mOur hOled his. That squared
the match for the Scot, and
at the next, Joe was in the hole
and out again and Armour
again raped his putt in.
Tommy had that one-hole
lead going to the thirty-fifth, and
there. from a distance of 10 feet,
Kirkwood. instead of holing the
putt for to win, three-putted
to lose the match. To me at
least. it was the great battle of
the day.
Billy Burke. the national open
champion, played well to defeat
Dave Hackney. Burke seems to
have regained his touch around
the greens and l still believe he
is the real threat in this cham
pionShip.
No ClOwning
Usually when Leo Diegel and
Bill Mehlhorn go out for q match
they stage a clown" act, but
yesterday they we're dead serious
and 1t paid dividends for Bill, as
he won from the twotime cham
piOn.
Gene Sarazen, whom many
favor to succeed Armour as
1881 champion, played spec
tacular golf to beat Al Espi-
nOsa, and 8. If ever a
golfer had a tough day, Johnny
Farrell did yesterday.

in the early hours. Johnny fought
a losing fight in the morning to
be l down 10 Jim Fouls, the
Chicago dark horse. Then in
the afternoon Farrell went on a
scoring spree and although he
was out in 80, he gained back
only one hole.

eight of the 16 winners in the
first round, and I am proud to
say that the only two who failed
me were the two most favored to
