There would be those who would President Cardena
sympathize with this attitude just
there are those who sympathize with Mr. Cardenas.
But this sympathy would not extend to the bankruptcy
court The bankruptcy court would be on the bank
rupts neck in no time at ALL with the necessary United
States marshas and wrts to tie up all his property and
make sure his creditors got break.
And in being thus hard-hearted, the court would be
right, the ground that man must be just before
he is generous. If should go in for simply laughing
off debts and obligations grounds of generosity and
good-heartedness our credit and business structure
would quickly cave, and chaos would follow
There is binding international law of bankruptcy,
of course. In fact international law since 1914 has
been more of nice, round phrase than a fact.
But there are ways whereby strong
M0WL0M nations can bring pressure weaker
Drooo,,ro nations to fulfill their plain obligations,
and stop acting like spoiled babies
like the imaginary bankrupt described above.
Such pressure in Neighbor Cardenas' case seems nd
Gated. If we let him get away with this, shall
courage him to make raids Americans in Mexico
Worse shall encourage various little Central and
South American political adventures to in for snoot
ing Uncle Sam, walking his toes and picking his
pockets. strong nation can't take that kind of stuff
indefinitely and remain strong nation. And when a
strong nation becomes weak all its people suffer.
We hope Neghbor Hull carries on along the firm
line he took in his previous note to Neghbor Cardenas
The whole future of the Good Neghbor policy seems to
us to be involved in this affair

will eventually mean better living con-
