Today and Tomorrow BY WALTER LIPPMANN

ONE week from today another payment on the war debts falls due. As yet there is no definite news as to what the governments concerned propose to do about that payment, and there are some reasons for thinking that they have not made up their minds. Yet they have been discussing the question for six months and every one interested

has known that an arrangement for dealing with this payment is ufgently necessary. The payment is required on the Thursday following the Monday on which the world economic conference opens, and nobody can have any illusions about the effect on the conference of a failure to ar-

rive at some dignified solution. No one will have much hope that nations can make permanent agreements upon such complicated matters as the currency, gold, silver and tariffs, if they haven't had the wit to make a temporary agreement on one installment of a debt. It is therefore, absolutely essential that the June 15 payment be dealt with in such way as to avoid all international bitterness and confusion. a tt tt HOW might this be done? We . may rule out at once two theoretically possible solutions. There can be no final revision and settlement of the war debts before next Thursday. There is not time for that. There is not authority for that. On neither side is there the will to do it. The Europeans do not know what they are prepared to offer in final settlement and we do not know' what we are prepared to accept. It is no less true that the June 15 payment will not be made just because legally it is due. The European debtors have made up their minds that they will not, or can not, carry out the original contracts. They are all agreed on that. The British paid in December and the French did not; the only difference between them is that the British have said they would default if the settlement w'as not revised, whereas the French have said they would defer payments until there is a revision. Revision, being impossible before June 15, but inevitable at some time in the future, the problem is how to avoid a breakdowm over next week’s payment. a tt tt IF we insist on payment according to the letter of the bond, there will be a breakdown. If the Europeans refuse payment, there will be a breakdown. They will be in default, and we shall not only get no payment on June 15, but not payment at any time thereafter. In other words, insistence on the letter of the bond will destroy the bond. There is. however, no reason why the governments, which have much more important business to do, should entangle themselves up hopelessly. The principle of a solution is quite simple. It is for the debtors to recognize the legality of the obligation pending a revision, and for the creditor, while revision is being negotiated, to refrain from demanding that payment be made. How can the debtors recognize their obligation? Simply by saying that they recognize it. We can not ask or hope to obtain a better guaranty than their word that they are not repudiating. How can we refrain from demanding the payment? Simply by saying that we shall not consider it a default if, with the legal obligation recognized, the payments are postponed pending the negotiation of anew settlement. Failure to pay is not in itself repudiation. There is no default if the creditor refuses to stigmatize nonpayment as a default. A postponement, without prejudice either to our rights under the contracts or to the right of the Europeans to a review' and revision of the contracts, is the honorable and practicable way out of the immediate difficulty. a a a THE question then arises as to who should take the initiative in proposing a postponement without prejudice. The magnanimous course would be for our government to take the initiative, for the President, to address a note to the debtors saying that since he publicly has recognized their right to have the settlements reviewed, since the time has been too short to complete the review, since a final settlement should be considered only in the light of the whole program of international reconstruction, a postponment of the June 15 payment w'ould not be considered as impairing the rights of either debtor or creditor. Such a note would. I believe, have enormous power to create good will and confidence throughout the world. No single thing we could do could do more to give men faith in the word economic conference. We should do well to consider the wisdom of such a move, remembering that “magnanimity in politics is not seldom the truest wisdom, and a great empire and little minds go ill together." Taking to heart, too, those other great words in Burke's speech on conciliation with America: "The question for me is, not * * * what a lawyer tells me I may do, but what humanity, reason and justice tells me I ought to do.” iCopvrißht. 1933 1 Henna comes from the leaves of the camphire shrub.

VAST ALASKAN AREAS WAITING TO BE CHARTED Chief Geologist Urges U. S. to Continue Giant Surveying Task. BY DAVID DIETZ SeriDD*-Howard Science Editor Anyone who thinks that there are no more frontiers left to explore, is invited to listen to the words of Dr. Philip S. Smith, chief Alaskan geologist of the U. S. Geological Survey. The Alaskan branch of the Sur- j vey has been at work for the last thirty-five years, making topographical maps of more than 250,- j 000 square miles of territory and j opening up thousands of miles of trails. Investigations of mineral deposits and other studies of Alaskan conditions made by the survey fill 400 publications. Dr. Smith says; “To write of the Alaskan branch only in terms of the past might leave the impression that its days of strenuous labor are j over and that it has fulfilled its! mission. Such an impression, I believe, is not warranted, for as I see the future needs there is and will be an increasingly greater demand for the kinds of service it is qualified to g.ve. Mineral Wealth Hidden “Less than half of the vast area of Alaska has been mapped and investigated on even reconnaissance standards, so that there is more than 300,000 square mdes, or an area about thirty-five times the size of Massachusetts, that has not been surveyed, and probably in at least two-thirds of that area there are tracts which may contain mineral development. Dr. Smith also gives an excellent explanation of why it is Uncle Sam’s job to do the exploring in Alaska. “Much more than nine-tenths of Alaska still remains absolutely in the possession of the national government,” he says. “Therefore the government’s own interest as landlord would alone suffice to necessitate its undertakink the w r ork. Opportunities Are Numerous “Knowledge of the physical features of its holdings and of their resources that may be of value is obviously indispensable for intelligent development, profitable utilization and effective administration. Dr. Smith also points out that the interests of the government in Alaska are also the interests of its citizens. “The same type of information regarding Alaska’s mineral resources that the administrators of the government’s activities need also is useful to the individual men and women woh see Alaska as a land \ of opportunity for their endeavors,” he says. It is also pointed out by Dr. Smith that certain types of investigations can be carried on only by government agencies. This is be- \ cause records are available for of- j ficial inspection which could not be seen by private investigators. Federal Control Essential “The production of gold from an individual mine is of itself a private matter that is regarded as more or less a secret, and yet knowledge of the total amount of gold produced from all the mines in different districts or of different types j is significant to world policies as well as those of more local circles. “The collection of such information necessarily must be carried'on by some such organization as the j elficals . pg..aKpam.ionspeol. fioiG j geological survey which can be re- > lied on to respect the confidential j character cf the information sup- 1 plied and has so comprehensive a 1 knowledge of the mining industry j throughout the territory that its findings are complete, continuous and reilable.”
