War Debts Held Certainty; Moratorium and Lausanne Failure Seen _ (Continued From First Page,) rupt. Unemployment has reached the | appalling total of 6,000,000 and the fall in export trade proceeds unlnterrupt-‘ edly. To recover, Germany requires| |rot only continued relief from repay- ment of old debts but also a resump- tion of the inflow of fresh credits. But in practice these credits can only come from France, if at all. After a brief flurry of optimism, the British | are relapsing into a pessimism even, more complete than that of last Sum-] mer. American banks are hardly like- | ly to risk any new perils at home or | abroad by fresh loans to Germany.| And the French certainly will not give | to a militaristic and Junker dictator- ship the aid they refused to Bruening. who was at the least a sincere republi- can. We are, then, where we were a| vear ago. While the Hoover mora- | torium technically marked the ena of | reparations, it was not and it could not have been any preface to German or_European recovery. Lausanne, if it 1s held at all, wiil mark one more step in the decline in Zuropean affairs, because it must dis- ciose Europe still paralyzed by political conditions. $16,000,000,000 Owing. ‘The situation of the United States in all this is odd in the extreme. The United States has an investment in war | debts which still exceeds $11,000,000.- 000. She has a further stake in private debts in Europe which is probably half as great. But while progressively Amer- ican equity in Europe is being reduced by reason of the political quarrels and disputes, there seems to be absolutely | nothing that the Government at Wash- | ington can do about it. And there is | just as little that the private investor | can_do. The President and the Congress are agreed in refusing to cancel or reduce ebts and thercfore the United States v from Lausanne. But usanne must be to re. duce still further all prospect of col- lecting the war debts and at Jleast loans. Washington is now willingness to go to an conference after Lausanne thing but tariffs, . but no one now wishes to talk about anything else dnd | nothing in this world can be accom- | plished until these matters are disposed of. There are a great many people in this | ry who think that if the United | hould now agree to cancel the | war debts and even to make fresh loans | to Germany the result would be an im- mediate improvement in European con- ditions. But personally, while I do pot | regard the war debts as having any | greater prospective value than Fenian or Confederate bonds, 1 have the con- | iction derived from a Winter in Europe that after ca tion and even after h lendings the situation would re- main unmocified. Definite Understanding Needed. Until the peoples of France and Ger- many make up their minds about some basis of compromise and truce, until ' | sus | ing is less exact. M there are governments strong enough to accept some such temporary adjust- ment as that of Locarno, and thus get the political obstacles out of the way, there is literally “nothing doing” in the way of economic and financial recovery in Europe. And for two years the bar- riers to any such truce have been mounting, not falling. Franco-German relations today are at the least worse than at any moment since the occupa- tion of the Ruhr. But France today is, at all events, financially better off than either the United States or Britain. While Amer- icans and the British have billions at stake in private loans to Germany, France has practically nothing. And if | conditions in Germany continue with- | out material improvement for another vear not only Germans, but most Euro- | peans, believe the result will be Red revolu . Bruening was the last card of republican Germany. The present grotesque fusion of soldier Junker and industrialist is a patent effort to pre- vent communistic upheaval by an ap- peal to the old forces which sustained the Hohenzollern regime. But, like Bruening, Papen has to get help from outside to prevail, and against him he | has not only all the contemporary sus- picicns which Bruening's forelgn policy awakencd in France, but all the old icions surviving from the days of the Hohenzollerns. ‘War Goes On. Tooking back over the events of the pact year, then, it is plain that Herbert Hoover has had the same experience with his moratorium that Woodrow Wilson had with his peace proposals | 16 vears earlier. Both ventures failed for the same reason, that the European nations in conflict set their own objec- | tives above all else. In 1916 the world's stake was peace. In 1931 it was pros- | perity or, perhaps more exactly, sol-| vency. But in both cases the war con- | tinued. Today the struggle between | France and Germany over the conflict- ing interests of sccurity and treaty re- | fon is every whit as uncompromising | as that of the World War. And now, as before, the contestants are equally inconcerned with American rights or nraterial interests. And now, as then, the sole choice of America is to get into the melee and insure the success of one or the other of the nations in shock, or stay out and suffer the losses incidental to the struggle. ‘The basic mistake the critics of the President and of the Congress of the United States make is in assuming that if both would only consent to the can- cellation of the war debts the creditors of Germany would agree to scrap rep- arations and the march back to pros- perity would begin promptly. But noth- Hoover, at great political risk to himself, tried the mora- torium, with results now clear. And cancellation would produce identical re- sults or lack of results. For the basic troubles in Europe are neither economic nor financia ¢ political. War debts ready dead. They are, in fact. b eforth mere bookkeep- ing items. But the war in Europe con- tinues and must now, unless every sign fails. go to a finish again, as it did be- fore in the stage which lasted from 1914 to 1918. HONORED NOVELIST | BRUENING WELCOMED | about SCOTT CENTENARY TO BE CELEBRATED Two on King's List Connected Directly With Family of Famons Novelist. By Cable to The Star. LONDON, June 18 (N.A.N.A)—The King's birthday honors list contains the names of two people connected with Sir Walter Scott, the centenary of whose death is being celebrated this Summer, The novelist’s great-great-grandson, Gen. Maxwell-Scott, becomes the new ! Sir Walter and will live at Abbotsford, having inherited the estate through the female line. The original baronetcy expired with the first Sir Walter's son. James Fitzalan Hope, who is to end & distinguished parlimentary career in the House of Lords, has a direct con- nection with the home of Sir Walter Scott, though he cannot claim descent from the novelist. Meanwhile the Scott centenary cele- brations afe under way. Already, plays the great novelist have been given, and on Tuesday a masque con- sisting chiefly of well known episodes from the Waverley novels will be given in_Edinburgh. Further Scott celebrations will in- clude an exhibition of portraits and manuscripts in the Scottish National Gallery from July 1 to September 30; & pageant given by Edinburgh school children in the Waverley market from September 21 to 24: a service in St. Gile’s Cathedral, Edinburgh, on Sep- tember 21 (the actual date of the cen- tenary), and a ceremony at Dryburgh Abbey, where Sir Walter was buried, on September 23. It also is hoped that a lectureship in Scottish literature will be established in the University of Edinburgh in con- nection with the chair of English lit- erature.
