FRANCE LESS CONVINCING

The French debt plea is less convincing than
the British Britain is short on gold France is long
on gold. Britain is suffering terribly from the de-
preston; France is more self-contained and more
prosperous than any other country in Europe.
Britain, in the earlier debt funding agreements,
received from us only one-half as much reduction
as did France
1t therefore is l-advised for France, of all
tries to take leadership in the movement for down.
ward revision of war debts to the United States
1T is especially unfortunate that she has devoted
most Of her argument to the plea for postpone
ment of Dec. Is payments, for of all the debtors
she can make her small immediate payment with
the least inconvenience.
France should realize that her raid on gold
supply, and her failure to cooperate with the United
States at the disarmament conference and for
maintenance of peace treaties in the far east,
strengthened congressional opposition to revision Of
French debt terms
just unjust-and we are inclined to think 1t
is partly jus-that is the present state of congress
sonal opinion, which in turn reflects a dominant
section Of public opinion.
We believe that the only which can be
made for reduction in the French debt-after
France has made the December payments that
the United States can gain more from the improve
ment in world economic and political conditions
sultng from an effective debt settlement than the
United States could gain in forcing France and
others to default
France has no moral or legal claim upon US The
issue is solely Of enlightened self-nterest on
the part of the United States. And even here there
is necessary and very important qualification.
It is to our selfinteres to help re-estabsh world
prosperity and peace, and to cooperate in a debt
settlement as part of that recovery. But debt
settlement is only one part of the requirement for
world recovery.
Reduction of trade and tariff barriers and of
provocative armament extravaganza are even more
necessary as Senator Borah has emphasized
1t would be stupid for the United States to make
a debt settlement without assurance of set
Ting the larger related issues Indeed taken alone
debt reduction could result actually in increasing
armament expenditures-as happened following our
last reduction of debts
No foreign debtor, and France least of all, can
expect American debt revision until it accepts the
direct relation between debts and ornaments and
trade barriers, and until it acts accordingly.
French military domination of Europe, and tacit
French support of Japanese military domination in
the far east are deeper of world chaos than
all the debts combined.

ROOSEVELT ON POWER

Franklin d. Roosevelt's statement that power is

least four great projects should be owned govern
mentally, and that private rates must be brought
to fair level may mark the end of an era.
1t is many years since President with such
views has occupied the White House, and none has
done so while the power industry has been grow
ing into the leviathan of the modern business
world
Presidents have looked on complacently while the
industry has abored in schools churches clubs and
newspapers to endoctrinate America with the idea
that all its ways were righteous and never must be
questioned.
AS the billions Of dollars of power company cap
italization grew to figure three times the annual
federal budget and the industry boosted that it was
too big to be controlled presidential vetoes Of one

Muscle Shoals bill after another helped make good
the boast.
The power industry has had its chance at unregu-
lated operation. It's holding company system, pro-
vidng opportunity to initiate capitalization, to drain
of excessive fees and to conceal ownership and
troll has rendered ineffective what regulation was
attempted in the last quarter century.
And at the end Of the path was the insult de-
bacle illustrating nothing else could do, the fol-
lies and dangers of that course.
The people who buy service from utilities and the
people who buy stock from them are through being
fooled and they are through being frightened. They
want, they always have wanted, prosperous,
stable power industry earning fair return on its
investment.
But Mr.. Roosevelt echoes the conviction Of mil
lions Of his fellow citizens when he states that the
way to achieve this end is by regulation buwarked
by government demonstrations, at model plants, Of
the fair cost of power.

THE DRUNKEN DRIVER

Cleveland motorist driving down a city street

Arrested little later he admits having had few

The old question, when is man drunk takes
on new acuteness when it comes up in connection
with automobile accidents. 1t is complicated by
the fact that there nnumerable stages of
drunkenness, ranging from mild exhiIaraton to
complete stupor.
1t would seem, however that in all cases like this
the burden of proof is on the motorist. A drunken

A PROBLEM FOR EMPLOYERS

President William Greene's declaration to the
American Federation of Labor that labor will obtain
a shorter working week "by force of some kind" if
ordinary persuasion fails directs attention to what
undoubtedly will be one of our most acute problems
during the coming decade.
The sx-hour day and the five-day week once
looked Utopian. Now, in the face of increasing
chronological unemployment, there is every indica-
ton that organized labor will make them prime
detectives.
1t will be worse than useless for employers to
sit back and cry that these are unattainabe goals

own mind: What is the use, any,
way? What difference does it
make? What is it all about? Is
the game worth the candle? Is
it worth while? The world is
against me. If I can get by with
it, why not?
Such self-cynicism does things
to us. 1t is like taking a dose of
slow poison. For, as a man ha-
bitually talks to himself, so he
is before he is aware of it. Such
talk has a strange hypnotic pow
er, because it appeals to our ten
dency to recline, to whine, which
is deep down in us.
All of us know how easy it is
to fall into facilitating talk with
ourselves, in a dismal mood of
depression, when we feel as worth
less as a rundown shoe at rum
mage sale. Or it may be an in
verted vanity in which we seek
healing for some hurt.
Anyway, by a law of the mind,
if we say a thing to ourselves
often enough, it becomes true for
Us. Happily, by the same law,
we may talk ourselves out of de-
feat and despair, if we tell our
selves a brighter, more sensible
truth.
