the money will bo hold In Buspen

Whnt may happou to wur debts
If present hostilities continue for
long Is something no one likes to
think about just now. The expen
sive game of war isn't played with
buttons; and, if debLor nations
happen to find a few forgotten
shillings lu tho pig bunk, tho
money will go for muchtnu gunB
and such not to settle old ac
counts. Even during the peaceful
years that lay botwuon iho two
wars, debtors wore not ovor .oul
ouk about rouiiUlng.,; 1 , .y
Take a look at llio rocord: To
I
tal debts Incurred In tho United
Slutes by tho nllleH during and Im
mediately after the war wcro $10,
350,000,000. Tho original Interest
was 5 per cont. It wuh later cut
to -11 per cent, and finally tho en
tiro debt structure was roaming
ed to fix hi U) rent on the ability of
earh nut Ion to pity, Thus (J rout
Ilrltatn's Interest today Is set at
3.3 per cent while Italy's Is only
.4 por cent. . ,
So far, all the nations' have p;ill
only $2,500,000,000, mo;:t or which
went Tor Interest. Because of de
faults und Inleresl, tho total debt
has mounted to $14,500,000,0110.
Had the debtor natlnuH continued
to make prompt semiannual pay
ments under the funding agree
ments, reached between i 113 and
1U28, they would have paid (lie
United Slates a total of $22,259.
000,1)00 by litHH. the year In which
all countries would have made
their final payments.
The war debt jiroblem has pro
vided political amumultlou for all
sides since the Ink was still moist
on the Versailles treaty. Attempt
ing to get payments from Europe
just now would be about as suc
cessful as stepping Into a riot to
ask one of the participants lor
the quarter ho borrowed last week.
Kuropo Is Interested these days
only In contracting now debts not
paying old onus. And about, all
the United Slates can do Is to keep
sending dunning notes to tho de
faulter us brusque reminders that
you can't fool all of the people ull
of the time.
If the world were a groat cor
poration, we might take it Into re
ceivership and try running It our
way until Its uf faint were straight
ened. Hut ' Is nothing of the kind,
and the new debts that probation!
hostilities would produce might ho
complicate Inlet national relation
ships (hat even tho United States
would be forced tu throw up Its
hands helplessly m lt stutu of
complete confusion.

Popular Fronf Breakdown
Seen as Doom of Stalin
NKW VOHK Dee. 13. CAP)
Breakdown of the popular front In'
the United States, Great Britain,
France and Spain, together, with
tho Invasion of Finland, has doom
ed the Stalinist dictutorshin, In
the opinion or Alexander Keren
sky, former Hussian premier.
Kerensky, who released Joseph
Stalin Horn exile In Siberia, in
1017, when Stalin was "just an
other name," spoke at a mass
meeting last night under the au
spices or the democratic federation
in protest ugainst the Hod invasion
of Finland. I
He and Oscar Tokoi, Hrst pre
mier or Finland a iter the fall of
the czarlst regime, were principal
speakers. Tokol predicting that
should the soviet finally establish
a puppet government in Finland,
similar governments would follow
in Ueniuurk, Norway and Sweden.
Kerensky said the fall of the
popular, front In tho four countries
had forced Into the open Stalin's
tight for a world communist dicta
torship and that this was-aiding
in what seemed his dereat. , ;

Boettiger Swats
N. L R. B. Rulings
Son-in-Law of Roosevelt Says
He Doesn't Blame Firms
For Making Complaints.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. (AP)
A memorandum was placed in '
the record, of the house labor board
committee today which quoted
John Boettiger, President Hoose
velt's son-in-law,, as saying he "did
n't blame employers for complain
ing" against NLHB's administra
tion of the AVagner act. I
The memorandum was from El
wyn J. Eagen, labor board regional
director at Seattle, to Nathan Witt,
board secretary, and reported on a
conversation Eagen said he had
with Boettiger.
The conversation allegedly con
corned a case in which William
Randolph Hearst's Seattle newspa
per and the American Newspaper
Guild were Involved. Boettiger is
publisher of the Hearst newspaper
In Seattle. ,
No Kick To President
"Boettiger stated," Eagen wrote,
"that he was very sympathetic
with the act, but that when It was
administered hy a board which
made the kind of decision it made
in this case, that he didn't blame
employers for complaining about
the board.
"He stated very definitely that
he did' not Intend to take the mat
lor up with the president, that he
never, used his family connections
to accomplish uny thing in which
he might be personally interested.
"He Indicated that he did not
Intend to publicize his feelings ot
to make them known generally. He
asked me not to do so, but inferred
j that he thoight 1 would com mil nt
Icate the substance of his couver
j nation to the board."
j "Unfairness" Charged
I In recounting the Seattle case
Eugen asserted that after a settle
ment had been completed "Boetti
ger leaned back in his "chair and
stated ho had something tu say to
mho as a representative of the
board, that what he had to say
,was In no aonao a reflection upon
me personally, but as 1 was the
lonly one available representing
I the board, he would speak his piece
lo me."
j "He stated to 'mo," said Eagen,
"that he thought the board's order
was based upon a distortion of the
facts produced at the hearings and
.(upon) illogical inferences that he
personally resented the decision
very much and was only comply
ing so as not to embarrass the
I administration and to avoid pro
'longing the controversy. , ,
) "He also stated that he did not
!want to do anything which would
1 jeopardize the very fine relat ions
whieh he had with the Newspaper
.guild.
"lie made some very extensive
remarks about the trial ex u miner's
I unfairness and tho fact that, the
board would not consider the com-
iinnv'ft ni-nfest in rne-nril tn tho
I trial examiner, who, he was later
informed, bnu (men ; discharged
for unfalrne:' :- ... '
Eagen said he "tried to con
vince" Boettiger tho board made
its decision "in a fair manner on
'what appeared to be the facts from
the record."
c The regional director added ho
' also atti-mnted to persuade the
publisher that "there certainly, was
tio Intention on the part of the
board to penalize him because he
happened to be the son-in-law ot"
jthe president, as ho had inferred
,in his conversation."

Daily Devotions
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
The story of the prodigal son
is so familiar that it seems too
trite to quote, yet it Is spiritu
ally indlspenslble. A sou began
to be a prodigal. How did he
get his start? By giving the
prodigal password. Give me, he
said, give me. That is just the
right language with which to
start the wrong life. He was all
for adventure, and an adventure
that would work to his own ad
vantage. He wanted his sub
stance and he spent it in riot
ous living. It was only when
he stopped saying. Give me, that
he began to arrive at his soul.
When he came to himself, he
gave, not the prodigal, but a
penitent password. "Father,
make me as one of thy hired
servants." Having first made
the wrong demand upon life, he
had now the wrong idea of his
father. Such a father as he
had never could have made him
a hired-servant. What the father
wanted was to make him his
real son once more. Thus we
see God's great love. Amen.
