A common reaction to these de-
faults is bitter condemnation. In the
halls of Congress and to some extent
in the public press the debtor coun-
tries are often harshly criticized for
not keeping their promises. Such an
attitude is easily understood and is
correct at least in part. Yet the de-
faults continue year after year.

On the other hand, there is the fact

to meet their obligations. This is so

ONE DIFFERENCE

"a manufacturer makes 100000
units of his product he expects to get, sub
ject to various trade allowances for guam
tity, etc, substantially more money than
if he only manufactured 100000 units.
Farmers, however, who produce
wheat and cotton, have found out in some
years that the more they raise the less
they get for the crop as a whole.
This is the difference between manu-
featuring and agriculture that often es-
capes the attention of city economic ex-
perts who delight in lambasting efforts to
aid the farmers.

nent and of the same sense of honor
as in domestic affairs. Governments
claim sovereignty. The old idea that
a king can do no wrong has been
largely discarded but governments
are still not bound by the same codes
as are private citizens, and machinery
for compulsory legal settlement of diff
ferenceS is meager.
1t is easy to declaim against this but
the fact is that in international rela-
tons there have not been developed
the same moral standards as the ones
we accept as proper between individ-
uals. And it must not be forgotten that
in this regard government officials
are largely refiectingBthe views of the
man in the street" Most of us are apt
to think of the people of another coun-
try as different from ourselves and
usually we think of them as inferior.
How often have we called people of
other nationalities such names as
Huns, Dagoes or Chinks? It is usual to
look with satisfaction upon a tax that
will be paid by a foreigner" A COM
mercial treaty that will give US IAN
advantage" over the people of another
country is hailed as a good treaty. A
prominent Frenchman has been credi-
ted with the statement that there are
twenty million too many Germans.
We often talk of the universal BROTH
erhood Of man" but few believe it to
the extent that they will make the
same sacrifices for people in another
country that they will make gladly
for their fellow-citizens.
To this there are notable exceptions.
But the broad fact remains that we
have two moral and business codes
one for domestic affairs and another
for our relations with foreigners. At
present they are far apart and il IS
hard to find that the international
code is changing for the better. Yet we
must wrestle as best we can with the
double difficulty mentioned above.
Business operations, both public and
private. depend upon the keeping of
promises. Conditions arise under
which promises cannot be kept. There
should be orderly procedures for find
ing out whether the burdens of debt
ors are impossibly heavy. for giving
them relief when necessary and for
compelling payment when payment
is possible. In the relations between
countries we still lack this machinery
for adjustment and, what is worse,
we do not have the attitude of mind
that is necessary if such machinery is
to be established and used.

DC untimely death Of senator Robin

The untimely death of Senator Robin
son was due to his strenuous efforts to put
through the compromise court bill to re-
organize the Federal judiciary primarily,
and the terrific strain he had endured as
Senatorial leader for the New Deal. This
appears to be the consensus of opinion
among congressman and the country at
large. of course, President Roosevelt
takes the opposite view. it has been learn
ed, and thinks that the opposition the de-
parted senator encountered against the
court plan, FASTENED his death.
