LATIN.AMERICAN STATES
INTENT ON PAYING DEBTS
Boliyia's Announcement. of Plans to
Refund Follow Recent Revela-
tons by Paraguay.

Furthermore, as result OF the col
lapse of their buying power, the Latin
American governments have seen their
foreign obligations suddenly doubled
or tripled. For they are compelled,
today, to sell two or three times as
much Of their main products to get the
money required for the service Of those
obligations abroad. And-herein lies
the rub-they cannot sell that much,
because there is no demand that large.
Obviously, the governments them
selves cannot be blamed for q crisis
of this kind. Truly, governmental
ineficiency and extravagances might
have added to the seriousness Of the
situation in certain and well known
instances, but, in the main, IL is clear
the Latin American countries are the
victims of an economic phenomenon
beyond their control.
The most rigorous taxation and the
most drastic domestic economies will
not produce foreign exchange-that is.
international money, unless 1t becomes
available through the avenues of
foreign trade, foreign investments or
foreign loans. Even If the Latin
American countries could improve their
position in relation to foreign ex-
change, through further curtailment
of imports, the payment of their foreign
debts would continue to be difficult
until other countries were able to re-
ceive Latin American products in
volume approaching that of four years
ago. Or until foreign capital resumed
its flow into them for investment
Willing to Liquidate.

propriate description when he COM

chandise on his hands, who finds him.
self unable temporarily to dispose OF
the goods because OF lack OF demand,
and, consequently, unable to pay his
personal debts.
The Latin American nations are
willing to liquidate their merchandise
at almost any price in order to create
flournishing international trade and
resume service on their debts.
This willingness of the Latin Amer
ican governments to comply with the
terms of their foreign obligations as
soon as conditions will permit should
not be overlooked. Up to the present
time there has been no suggestion Of
reputation on the part of any South
ern republic. They have only decreed
a temporary suspension of payments on
either interest or capital-in some
cases of both-until the worst Of their
| financial troubles is over.
There has been no deliberate intent
Of defaulting, nor is there any desire
to extend this temporary suspension

Therefore they are almost ready for
a Franco Russian British military al
lance. Behind them are those two
former cabinet uncles. Winston
Churchill and Austen Chamberlain,
who, however, wish to drop sanctions
because they fear Germany more than
four Italys, and believe that Austria
can only be defended against Germany
by Italy, which must therefore be re-
won to the Stresa front.
Macdonald on Other Side.
On the other side are Ramsay Mac
Donald, lord president of the council;

anything against Great Britain, but
I cannot have France weakened, while
Great Britain is already weak; so
Britain must bring the sacrifice"
Therefore the rest Of Europe is
hopelessly confused, not knowing what
to attempt-whether to try to reform
the League or drop the League, wheth-
er to seek collective or individual
safety, whether to run or fight.
For when will Great Britain fight?
For what? For England? For Pal
estine, for India, for France. Belgium,
Holland, for international law in
Europe, for world order? The primate
Of England and few hundred million
others would like to know.
The British just cannot seem to
make up their minds. In another
year. when the hair on their chest
and their fingernails are longer, they
may decide-if somebody else has not
already decided.

~ NE of the first acts OF the
revolutionary regime just set
up in Bolivia has been to an
~ nounce its intention to re-
fund the external debt OF the country,
in order to resume, as soon as posi-
bic and on fair terms, the payment
Of its foreign obligations.
A like announcement was made
not long ago by the other revolution
ary government recently established
in South America, that of Paraguay.
This is no mere coincidence. Dis
patches from Bogota have lately re-
ported similar desire on the part
of the Colombian authorities. and the
Chilean Minister of Finance has is
sued a new invitation to the holders
Of Chilean bonds to take advantage
OF the settlement offered them some
time ago
The Latin American governments
as a whole seem to be aware OF the
fact that in any REIMBURSEMENT of
inter-American relationships to be at
tempted in the near future the prob
lem of their outstanding financial
obligations in Wall Street must play
an important role.
Proper Moment Awaited.
This common acknowledgment Of
the issue confirms definitely the i'm
preston, voiced previously in these
columns, that the Latin American
governments are only waiting for the
moment when economic conditions at
home and throughout the world will
permit them to resume their pay
ments abroad.
1t should be remembered, in this
connection, that the southern repub-
lies are the victims of situation
for which they can not be made re-
sponsible. The main cause of their
financial difficulties lies in the enor-
NOUS decline in the prices OF com.
xnodities and raw materials on which
their whole economic life was CEN
tered
With very few exceptions the Latin
American are countries depending
almost exclusively on one or two sin
gle products. The tremendous fall
in prices which has been the major
characteristic of the world crisis,
therefore, intensified by the evils of
overproduction, has upset the eco
romic structure of nearly every one
of them, by cutting down to a half,
or a third, the price Of the particu-
lar commodity which constituted the
bulk of it's exports.
Depending largely on their exports
to cover their expenditures and meet
their foreign obligations, they have
been forced, by this uncomfortable
decline in values, to cut down their
budgets to a minimum, to create new
taxes, to compromise their credits.

them have as a rule turned out we'll.
is another proof that God takes care
of drunken men and the United
States.
For the careless inattention with
which both parties nominate their
vice presidential candidates there are
good reasons-reasons. that Is, which
are good as explanations, but other
wise not good at all. In most cases it
is impossible to give much thought to
the vice presidential nomination until
after the candidate for President is
known. For it is kind of informal
rule. sound enough. that the man
who is going to run for President
should be consulted, indeed should
have practically deciding voice,
about who is going to run for Vice
President on the ticket with him.
Consequently that brief interval of
an hour or SO following the presi-
Dental nomination is really the only
hour during four years in which it
Is possible to give conclusive thought
to the vice presidency.
Yet another condition works to the
same effect. At this moment, practi-
cally speaking, there Is no individual
and not even any compact group Of
individuals, who are responsible for
the Republican party. True, there is
the chairman of the National Com
mittee. Mr.. Henry P. Fletcher-but
Mr.. Fletcher knows hat in all proba-
bility he will cease to be chairman
Immediately after the presidential
candidate Is chosen, for the preSiden-
tial candidate will want to name, and
is always given the privilege Of NAM
ing, the chairman who will manage
the campaign, If Mr.. Fletcher should
today take any action looking to the
nomination of either President or
Vice President, he would be crucified.
The vice presidential nomination Is
made during an interregnum. after
the former national chairman has
come to the end of his tenure, and
before the new one takes hold.
No Rule Followed.
The choosing Of candidates for
Vice President, in both parties, has
followed no rule. The present Vice
President, Mr.. John N. Garner, had
been a contender against Mr.. Roose-
welt for the presidential nomination;
and the choice of Mr.. Garner for sec
ond place On the ticket was, according
to rumor at the time, result Of an
arrangement by which Garner sup
porters in the convention threw their
strength to Mr.. Roosevelt. and were
given second place on the ticket.
That Mr.. Garner will again be Mr..
Roosevelt's running-mate can practi-
cally be taken for granted. To con-
tinue with the Vice President In Of
fee is as near to being rule as any
thing that goes on in this field.
But the larger rule Is that there Is
no rule at all. In 1920, after the Re-
publican convention nominated Hard
ing, some party leaders conferred
hastily and decided to choose as his
running mate the then Senator Len
root Of Wisconsin. Notice Of this pro-
gram was carried to leaders on the
