WASHINGTON, D. 0., June 8.
There Js no drouth of explanations
lor the midwest drouth. If the afflict
ed area were as -wet as most of the
explanations are
it would be hav
ing a flood.
The most fan
tastic tale being
passed Around Is
the one about
the Japanese
4 current. It Js
whispered that
this source of
northwest and
midwest rains has
changed Its
course. Its mois
ture now is ie-
Paul Mallon
posited further east, thus explaining
the heavy winter of snow and rain in
the north Atlantic states.
Those who tell this yarn predict
that the northwest and middle west
may eventually become as dry as the
Sahara.
The main trouble with thla expla
nation Is that the Japanese current
has not changed. The heat experts
have measured It to an inch. What
did change waa the flow of arctic
winds. They came down the Hudson
bay route thla year Instead of farther
west.
That happens about once every 40
years. At least, It occurred In 1859 and
in 1894. It Is not likely to happen
again until 1975, which la certainly
nothing to worry about.
it - '
v ,
Many of the absurd explanations
are based on the superstition of heav
enly wrath. Those need not be. ans
wered In the face of scientific proof
that the phenomenon Is only a 440
year quirk of nature.
But there Is one other more sensible
theory. It is that vast public lands in
and near the northwestern Rockies
have been so closely grazed by sheep
Y that there la no grass left to retain
moisture. Hence this 'moisture 'flows
. off to. the sea Instead of being.. ab
sorbed by clouds, which would ordi
narily deposit It In the drouth region.
If there Is anything in this theory,
It Is certainly not more than a buck
etful. The best scientists here say fie
drouth region would never ml&s the
rain it loses from this source, If It
loses any.
The rain for the drouth area nor
mally comes from three sources the
Pacific, the aulf of Mexico and (dur
ing the summer) repreclpitatlon In
nearby areas. The failure of repre
clpitatlon Is what caused the drouth
several years ago and was a contribut
ing factor this spring. That Is, the
clouds failed to suck up moisture
from the ground and deposit it else
where in its usual rotating system.
Don't ask a scientist why. That Is one
of the things he has not found out
yet.
However, as long as there la any
water left In the Pacific and the Onl?
of Mexico, the middle west and north
west can expect the rainfall which
has made it the food-giving center of
the world.
The bald truth Is the drouth story
has not been told, and cannot be to'.d.
A different local situation exists on
every farm. The havoc may not be
evident for weeks or months.
There is no way to reduce such a
condition to headlines which would
convey a striking Idea to the public
mind. For one thing, you cannot tell
accurately how many people are af
fected or how much relief money Is
needed. Neither can you take a news
picture of a drouth.
One thing Is certain. The adminis
tration la thoroughly aroused, inside
and out. It has enough money and
enough power to handle a dozen
drouths.
Tills will unquestionably minimize
4 the full effect of conditions on busi
ness. .
' The inside excuse for the existing
stalemate In war debt Is thst Presi
dent Roosevelt pjanned It all out with
. a purpose.
I, Those nesrest the big swivel chair
In the White House explain we had to
get Into the situation we are 1n njw
before we could collect more than
mere token payment. Also, thst Mt
Roosevelt had to let congress force a
default so It could get the "hate" out
of Its system. That la why he approv
ed the Johnson amendment. Now,
when the fact sinks In that we are
not going to get a dime, he can iiet
somewhere with negotiations for re
adjustment of the debts so that we
can get as much money as possible.
You may have to stretch your Imag
ination to believe It was all planned
out that way In advance, but you can
be reasonably sure It will end In ac
cordance with thla explanation.
Negotiations will be resumed some
time In the future and we will get as
much out of the debts a we can.
However, ultimate settlement la a
long way off, probably years off.
The British ambassador's most em
barrassing moment lately was when
his majesty's government discovered
that he let out the war debt not here

"People," he said, "want decent
homes to live in; they want to lo
