A TOUGH JOB FOR HOOVER
' ' Franco Is manifesting consider'

of tho' war debt plan, dostgned to
restore world prosperity... Tho dlp-
luinats and elder slHtosmen do not
know what to do about this pln
lfonded bullheadedncHs. They will
probably hold n "conversation,"
and propose art "ngondA." ; Thox
should turn the mutter over to
8onlto Mussolini of Home, Italy.
He stands ,for no nonsense from
the Kronob, tuid luu snttltvt, several
arguments in the lust 'five, years.
the simple process of entniln
llig soldiers for tho Kreneh-Uallan
border.
'TJJlli soiiiidness of tho war debt moratorium rests directly
upon tho truth that in tho modern world, there is no such
thing as national isolation, ,', ,. .. ,.,
Ono half of the world can't bo normally prosperous with
tho other, half bankrupt. .Whether we like it or not, the fact
remains that economically spoaking, the civilized world is a
unit, whatever benefits one nation, benefits to a greater or less
Cx'tcnt all ; and what injures one nation, can't fail but injure,
directly or indirectly, all of them.
'-,
UNFORTUNATELY, . however,, what i;true economically;
, isn't true politically. That is why this debt moratorium,
while economically sound (from the standpoint of recovery
from the .world) wide depression! mandatory) i8 politically
fraught with serious difficulties and dangers.
, 1 President Hoover can, fignrativoly speaking, steer tho
ship of his hew international policy, safely through the rocks
aiul shonls of nationalism and polities, then certainly' no, fair
minded 'person will deny that at this critical timpiu, wor'.i
