Nations must decide on the prin-

tons before fundamentally sound
postwar structure can be achieved,
Elgin Groseclose, nationally known
economist and author, declared last
night in an address before the

Until they do this, he warned, a
world police force would be only a
source of fear, "lest it become the
instrument of INSCRIPTIONS powers. 4"
The speaker, former treasurer

which any world state must of

Mr.. Groseclose said a clear. I'M

moral demands of the American
people is needed today, and that
"one single moral principle is
enough" He declared that if the

Hebert Requests Knox
To Explain Cost Value
OF Caribbean Bases
By the Associated Press.

&% Iue AssoClhIeC EIeSS.
Representative Hebert, Democrat,
Of Louisiana, pursuing a proposal
that bases leased for SO years from
the British be taken over perma-
nently, asked Secretary of the Navy
Knox today to explain the yardstick
that was used when the leverage"
destroyer exchange was made in
1910.
Mr.. Hebert, chairman of the House
Naval Affairs Subcommittee, whose
acquisition idea was rejected by
Prime Minister Churchill in House
of Commons discussion recently,
wrote to MIR. Knox, saying:
How did our Government arrive
at monetary value in obtaining
the leases as compared to a similar
value II we had requested perma :,
nent possession Of the bases?"
Full Acquisition Asked.
The 99-year leases on eight West
ern Hemisphere bases were granted
in exchange for so destroyers. Mr.
Hebert's group, after a tour Of the
Caribbean, called for outright &C
QUESTION in their report to Chair
man Vinson of the full Naval AZ
fairs Committee.
Emphasizing that he Is friendly"
to Britain and wants only to sit
down and talk this over" the Louisi-
anan said nevertheless that there
are some unsettled questions, and
he would prefer not to wait SO years
to have them arise.
Another point he raised was one
concerning the empires condemna-
ton actions of privately owned land
at the bases. In one case, he said
the crown condemned land at a
figure slightly above $1,000,000 while
the owners were demanding three
times that sum.
Where Do We Stand.
He asked Mr. Knox whether the
condemnation formula would vest
the title of the bases permanently in
the crown" or simply on the basis of
the 99-year leases.
eff the condemnation is perma-
nent, where do we stand at the end
of the 99-year period?" Mr.. Hebert
asked in an interview.
Secretary of State Hull comment
ed yesterday that the issue was one
for the next generation. To that
Mr.. Hebert remarked:
II still believe in today-not ma
mana tomorrow.
