2. They could pay everything
and try to collect what was owed
them.
8. They could pay nothing and
be considered in default.
Take them in order:
l. They pay in. full while COL
Letting little or nothing from their
debtors. Theoretically, this would
have been the superlatively honor
able thing to do. But it was po-
litically impossible. The British
people simply would not stand for
a course which made them the
only nation, except Finland, whose
obligation is negligible, which paid
war debts. Honorable as it might
seem to congress and to Ameri-
can public opinion, to the British
people it would seem so fantasia
cally unfair as to make it intoler-
able.
2. They pay in full and collect
all or what they can from France,
Italy, Germany and the rest.
What does this mean? 1t means
that France, being asked to pay
Britain and America, promptly
scraps the Lausanne agreement
and asks Germany to resume rep
aration payments and Italy to pay
war debts. But Germany does not
pay because she can not, and
would not if she could. So there
is another quarrel added to the
disarmament quarrel This is what
the British note means when it
says that ''to revive the whole
system of intergovernmental war
debt payments" would be ito
throw bombsheu into the Euro
pean area"
Thus to- pay in full while COL
lecting nothing would have been
politically impossible in Britain;
to pay in full while collecting
from Britain's debtors would have
been politically impossible in Eu-
rope; to pay anything less than
everything was made legally i'm
possible in the United States,
thanks to the initiative of Senator
Johnson. The British have, there
fore, decided that among the
three courses, the one that does
the least damage is to suspend
payments and be considered in
default under the Johnson act.

Basic cause of the trouble prob
ably was the temporizing attitude
taken by Roosevelt and johnson
when the labor turmoil started.
The principle of the NRA was
to keep a direct ratio between
consumption and production.
During the slump, consumer
power approached the vanishing
point. The problem was to bring
it back. Higher wages always will
do this. So the NRA sought to
boost wages, permit a compensat-
ing boost of prices in return.
But the price boost got ahead
of the wage boost. The steel kings,
the automobile baronS, some of
the others struck wedges in the
door of the White House. And
now the old dangerous circle
where consumption does not keep
pace with production is seen
looming on the horizon again.

Slim Cured Of Cold
In Warm Desert Sun
By George Clark

Fate-or something-seems to have
decreed that every time Slim Sum-
merville Is ready to start work in 4
new picture, he has to get up from q
sick bed with terrific cold.
The rule held good on his latest,
Love Birds" coming tomorrow to
the Capitol theater. So it was q very
miserable comedian who started work
as co-star with ZaSu Pitts in this
hilarious Universal fun film. He could
hardly breathe.
But for the first work on the pic
ture Director William Setter took the
company for three weeks Of location
work in the blazing heat OF the desert
near Indo. California, and within the
first few days Sims cold was entirely
baked out of him, instead of hanging
on for weeks, as is usual. From now
on" said Summerville after his return
to Hollywood. Il prefer to appear only
