WEST INDIES AS DEBT PAYMENTS

' ASKED IN HOUSE

“Rep. Havenner Revives Issue

In Face of Allies’ Need For U. S. Credit.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 (U. P.).— Another plan for hoisting the United States flag over the war debtors’ possessions in the West Indies to make the Caribbean Sea in fact an American lake is before Congress today.

A moye in that direction alsoj-

wauld aid the United States in defending South America against European aggressors. It is significant because the weight of American military opinion would support such a program if it were presented under circumstances which would permit experts to talk.

Bill Introduced

Senator Ernest Lundeen (F.-L. Minn.) raised a teapot tempest last week with a demand for seizure of the islands by force, if necessary, to improve our defenses. No one expects the Administration or the military services to support such a suggestion. But Rep. Franck Havenner (D. Cal.) has introduced a House bill to authorize negotiations with war debt defaulters for assignment of Western Hemisphere territory as part payment. Something could come of that, especially if there were powerful pressure here or abroad to relieve France and Great Britain of the borrowing restrictions of the Johnson Act. Great Britain and France own hundreds of islands, cays and rocks in the Bahamas and Lesser Antilles whieh extend from off the coast of Florida to the northern coast of South America. Great Britain owes $5,342,000,000 and France $4,141,000,000 in de-

‘faulted war debts.

Maj. Eliot Articulate

Debt adjustment on the basis of cession of territory would restore

* those creditors to good standing,

remove the prohibitions of the Johnson Act now operating against them and permit them to borrow money in the United States. Those nations are at war and they may need that additional credit when their existing dollar balances are exhausted. Private, off-the-record opinions of military men coincided with the more detailed arguments advanced by Maj. George Fielding Eliot in his best seller, “The Ramparts We Watch.” “It would be of great advantage to us,” he wrote, “if we could have. a base at the southern end of the| chain of islands, a base such as Trinidad itself or Barbados.” (Both British.) said that acquisition of the

* British Bahamas also should be con-

sidered as offering a screen for raiding enemy aircraft carriers. Maj. Eliot argues that whether Britain and France release title-to the islands or not, we still must defend them for our own security.”

Mayor Replies E In Right Caliber

CARMEL, Cal., O¢t. 27 (U. P,). -Mayor Herbert Heron, who does a little Shakespearean acting on the side, is credited with giving the “perfect answer” at a council meeting. . One irate citizen protested vigorously that a U. S. Army airplane had disturbed the peace of Carmel by flying too low. “What are you_going to do about it?” he demanded. “Do about it?” the mayor ech-

CURE OWN ILLS, LANDON URGES

Fears War Distracts U. S. From Solving Problems On Home Front.

MT. VERNON, Iowa, Oct. 27 (U. P.)—Alfred M. Landon, defeated Republican Presidential nominee in 1936, declared today that the United States “must keep out of war, at every cost save that of the security of the nation itself.” Our concern with foreign affairs and the threat of involvement in the European war, however, should not delay prompt settlement of domestic difficulties, the most pressing of which is unemployment, he asserted. “Fear and cynicism engendered in the masses explain the success of Hitler and Mussolini and - Stalin,” Mr. Landon said.

present magnitude in this country is cured, and the coincident breakdown of faith and the progress growth of skepticism are cured, our own country is in mortal illness. “As long as this problem exists in anything like its present proportions we are gradually destroying the very concepts of liberty, justice and decency, on which the safety of the republic rests.” The former Kansas Governor criticized “the waste, extravagance,

temporary works projects,” charged that these conditions are “demoralizing and deteriorating” Americans and asserted that “there is a dangerous possibility that we may settle down to being content merely to see, as John L. Lewis fears, ‘that care of the unempioyed shall constitute

industry.’ ”

Visiting Hook’s Dependable Drug Store, S. E. corner Illinois and Washington Sts, Mrs. Hannah G. Keller, Indianapolis woman declared the new medicine Retonga has restored her to splendid health after twelve years of suffering had reduced her to such bad condition she was unable? even “to attend church. “My whole body is now vigorous. and strong, and Retoniga deserves every bit of the credit,” declared Mrs. Keller, who has lived in her home at 1351 Nordyke Ave. In 1903 Mr. and Mrs. Keller built the Keller Hotel which was a landmark at Stock and Kentucky Avenues, and a gathering place for live-stock men until its destruction by fire a few years ago..
