GEORGIA 1 IB i/i * iz । ; •* l /I I JrW 1 National Topics Interpreted / | by William Bruclcart y 1 ■. । ■ ■ Washington.—The Important nations of the world are about to enter upon a new era. Historians New Order in urge that the record ' World Affairs of events repeats itself with amazing , regularity, hut does history show any period wherein statesmen have turned to each other with an appeal, with a willingness to make concessions and sacrifices? Such Is the perspective that we get of the next five or six months. With Creditor America receiving Debtor England and Debtor Italy and other ! debtor nations to talk over the war time loans made to them and means | of settling the obligations, and with the international monetary and eco , nomlc conference arranged for, is there any parallel In history? But why the debt discussions? And why the conference of nations on eco nomic and monetary matters? The answer is the peoples of the world demand that something be done to remove the barriers and the bur dens that hold commerce and industry with a deathlike grip. Statesmen charged with official responsibility are settling to their task. They have re sponded, as they must, to the public call. Some observers think the picture indicates n new and higher order in world affairs. It certainly sets down the year 1933 as epochal. • • • While the United States lias con ! sistently maintained that the debts ' owed this nation on account of war । loans are a matter separate and apart । from any of the other world problems, the contention has been, and is now being made to apply only to the ex tent that readjustment of those debts would never be considered In the same i conference with economic problems. J No one In authority here doubts the relation between foreign debts nnd i numerous other phases of the great । depression. It Is simply that the ; United States is not disposed to do horse trading with her debtors while ! they are trying to give us a Model T । Ford In exchange. | Senator Borah, of Idaho, stated the situation succinctly when he said he j was willing to concede some new and easier terms for the payment of the war debts provided the nations which owe the money were willing to forego some of their own selfish purposes in return. He wants to use the war debts as a club to force cuts in mill- 1 tary and naval expenditures by those : nations who find It hard to pay their ' debts; he wants to compel them by । force of circumstances to live within their Income, nnd he seeks at the same time to remove the underhanded and scheming conspiracies to which so many of the world powers nre ad dicted. The debts approximate $11,000,000.- 000. Their influence, therefore, is quite beyond that of a simple com mitment to pay. It hamstrings the na tion owing the money; it burdens the people of that nation, and it is a bar rier to trade because It Involves the transfer of moneys between nations, known as international exchange. • • • Rut the International debts consti tute only one harrier. There nre others. The list Is ! Many Barriers impressive: unstable to Be Faced currencies, fear and uncertainty, private j debts, disordered government finances I In this country ns well as abroad, I trade restrictions laid down to help ( pay International and other public i debts, restrictions on exchange so that there is not a free flow of money be tween nations In payment for commod ities passing Ir. commerce, falling prices, and contracted nnd disturbed I markets. The list explains why they must all be considered together. It explains why we have heard constantly that the depression Is not a problem peculiar to the United States. Every nation seeks to trade with every other nation. If either one or both parties to the transaction is handicapped, just to that extent Is trade slowed down. The surplus of goods which America i sells constitutes only about 10 per cent of the total normal output of this country, yet when that 10 per cent fails to move into the channels of trade with other nations, hard times Invariably result. It is easy to see from the list set forth how that sur plus which we ordinarily sell is । blocked from foreign markets. Take the trade restrictions, for ex ample. Many foreign nations, in fact, most of them, have established a max imum quantity of many commodities which they permit to be imported. If that maximum is half of normal, our trade has suffered accordingly. The ' purpose of such a restriction Is to create a home industry in that na tion. but it has raised havoc with us and with others in the meantime, add ing to the unemployed of selling na tions and destroying the markets for the raw material which those factories hitherto had bought Tariff policies fall into the same category. The United States uses that method. It justifies its course on the J ground that It must protect its home industries and its labor. The exchange restrictions are prob : ably more serious from the American I point of View than most of the others, i because they fit band in glove with the depreciated currency situation In many foreign nations. Some of the nations, because they yielded to the Impulse to inflate their currencies, to print more money, have found them selves with only a little gold in their hands. Consequently, their govern ments have laid down rules that gold may not be exported. • » • When an American firm wants to ship a tractor to the farmer in Ru mania, for Instance, be cannot sell the tractor because Rumania does not permit the exporting of gold at this time. The buyer, therefore, has noth ing to use for money. There Is no sale. • • * A discussion of the Influences that flow from these various barriers could go on almost end- Test Nations’ lessly. It doubtless Sincerity will go on at consid erable length when the representatives of the several na tions get together in the forthcoming International monetary and economic conference. That conference, however, is going to test the sincerity of a great many foreign nations. There will tie plenty of maneuvering for advantage. Os that, there is no doubt. Selfishness will be evident from the start. The conference may even fail altogether. Yet there is hope in it. If any prog ress at all Is made, to that extent will there be benefit for all of the world. It would be wrong to suggest that even a complete agreement on ways and means of removing trade barriers and a settlement of the International debt question on a basis satisfactory to the debtors would have the effect of Immediately restoring prosperity everywhere. The world has been too sick for that. Behind It nil, however. Is this assurance: unless the debt con ference and the monetary and econom ic conference are complete failures, some of the fear and some of the uncertainty will be removed. Mr, Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt nnd leaders In congress all have said that one of the greatest needs Is a feeling of safe ty about one’s food and clothes and money In the days ahead, • • • Although the Democrats are floun dering around with this new control that has been placed ’ Ray of Hope in their hands, there Appears is somehow a ray of hope flickering through the clouds. It surely seems like they are going to return to the old-fashioned system of party cau cuses. If they do, they will get things done. Whether you agree with their program or not, at least they can suc ceed in putting it through congress. It has been a long time since a real party caucus has been regularly used in legislative matters in congress. After nil. a party caucus is no more than that All of the members of that party In one branch of the legislative body get together. The doors are closed. There is no congressional record upon which to spread the say ings and doings of the Individuals. Newspaper correspondents are barred. The urge for the Individual to play politics for the benefit of the folks back home is quite effectively de stroyed. The result naturally Is some thing of a willingness among the mem bers to pledge themselves to vote as the majority of their members think best. They bind themselves. When controversial legislation reaches the floor of the house or the senate, after a caucus, the party pro posing it can reasonably count on a fight only from the minority party. It dot's not have to battle its own ranks. » • • There are many reasons why the party caucus commends itself to those who believe in strict Provides a Way party regularity and Out party government. One of them is that only by this method can the legisla tion be planned on a national scope. If nn individual representative is not bound by action of his party In cau cus, his breast is bare to the sharp knives of local interests. If a particu lar congressional district is going to lose a navy yard or an army post be cause of economy and the party says that course must be followed, the rep resentative from that district is pro vided with a shield by being bound. The folks back home can lie told that "the party did it. and I stand with the party that elected me.” Another phase is this: in the last few years there have been many rep resentatives and senators elected be cause they shouted from the housetops of their communities that they were Individualists. But when they took their oath of office and entered upon their duties, they were forced to the sudden realization that they had to trade co-operation with the other fel low, or 400-odd other fellows, to get anything accomplished. In other words, the party caucus provides away out. At the same time, regular party men. be they Republicans or Democrats, maintain that a party caucus system regularly used makes of congress a national legislative body as distin guished from a body of legislators in behalf of individual communities and interests. 1533.
