“It seems altogether likeiy that
too much attention has been given
to the subject of repayment of the
debts due from European countries
to the United States,” says the Re
publican Pubiieity Association,
through its President, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr. “This has probably beer,
due to the fact that on this side of
the Atlantic a number of promin
ent men have been making speeches
advocating some kind of cancela-;
tion of the debts in whole or in
part. Naturally, when such a policy!
is advocated by Americans, a vig- i
orous protest is aroused, and the
subject receives more or less ar. -
mated discussion.
“Every utterance from high of-;
ficial sources in those countries ow
ing large amounts to the United j
States contains an assurance that
there is no intention to try to evade
payment of one cent of the debt. I
The latest declaration on that sub- ‘
ject has come from the Chancellor
of the Exechequer of Great Bri-;
tain who asserts that ‘our first 1
duty will be to settlt our debt to
America...To the last penny we are,
going to pay it.’ Several months j
ago similar assertions were made,
by French officials concerning the
debt of France to the United States, j
“Those assurances ought to be j
accepted by Americans at full face
value and there should be an end,
of discussion of cancelation. It is (
exceedingly poor taste for an Amer- i
ican to direct insinuations at the
honor of European nations when j
they have repeatedly given assur- j
ance of their intention to pay every
dollar they have borrowed, togeth
er with the same rate of in;erest j
the United States had to pay in
raising the money to loan them.
“There is not ar.d never has been
any reasonable do-ubt of the ulti
mate ability of any of the leading
nations to pay. Even Russia will j
be able to pay if her national po
licies ever again get into the control
of men of sound economic princip
les. Great Britain’s trade balance,
has already returned to {he right I
side of the ledger and her good ;
financial position is evidenced by
the fact that sterling exchange is
but slightly below normal. None of
the nations is able to pay immedi
ately. and no one expects that im
mediate payment will be made. No
one asks it. Undoubtedly, however, i
the debts incident to the World War j
will be liquidated as rapidly as other i
war debts have been.
“In officials circles in this coun-!
try there is nothing to justify rais
ing any question concerning the
collection of the debts. The Harding
administration has declared itself
unequivocally on that subject. No
member of Congress has ever ad
vocated cancelation and no member
can advocate it and secure re-elec
tion.
“The United States has many im
portant problems pressing for sol- :
Tition. To these we can very proper-1
ly give our earnest attention in- j
stead of devoting so much time to ;
the discussion of an issue that has:
never existed outside the minds of '
a few politicians in Europe and a ;
few internationalists here.”

JAPANESE STEEL INDUSTRY |
IN DEPLORABLE CONDITION
—
TOKIO, Nov. 28.— The iron and
steel industry has been in deplorable
condition during: the last few years
and it shows no signs of improve
ment. Various means of relief have
been proposed but none so far have
been tried or carried out. Some
works have been entirely closed
down, while others are working on
short time. The output of the gov
ernment works shows an increase
over that of the same period last
year. This, however, is not the re
sult of revival of demand, but is |
due to the resumption of work by
some of the furnaces that were
under repair last year. Steel mak-|
ir.g establishments, except the gov
ernment works have been resricting
output. The total production for the
first six months of the year will
show a decrease of about 10 per
cent over the second half of 1921. |
None of the iron and steel man-!
ufactures is conducting business
with any prospect of making a jro-,
fit as the present market price is f
barely sufficient to cover the cost
of material and wages.
The potential obstacles that ham
per the successful conduct of the
iron industry in this country are ;
the high wages and high cost of
coal and until these adverse causes
have been rectified it can hardly
be expected to be placed on a sub-1
stanial basis.
The output of the Cache creek
district this year is approximately
$225,000, and it is predicted that j
this will be doubled next year, as
many new companies are planning'
activities. About 125 men were em
ployed in the district during the
Special Thanksgiving Show at the
Coliseum—‘‘Burglar Proof."

KILAUEA VOLCANO SHOWING
SIGNS OF MORE ACTIVITY
HILO, ISLAND OF HAWAII.
Nov. 28—The great volcano of Kil
auea, on this island, which has been
dormant temporarily following a
sensational explosive eruption in
March. 1921, has resumed activity,
according :o T. A. Jag-gar, govern
ment volcanologist, whose observa
tory is at the brink of the valcano's
abyss.
Starting with the formation of a
glowing cone 600 feet down within
the wais of the crater, a stream
of molten lava has been pouring
steadily into the depths below,
while a more recent flow has oc
curred in the form of an uprush
of gaseous lava, which violently ag
itated the lake formed by the upper
cascade.
Within ten days the lava arose
from 200 feet within the inner
£nroat of the crater and is rising
at the rate of about five feet a day.
Dr. Jaggar anticipates that the li
quid lava will increase greatly,
while from other indications, there
appears to be a strong possibility
of an outbreak of Mauna Loa, a
14,000 foot high, snow-crowned nei
ghbor of Kilauea. Mauna Loa, i3 ac
tive at intervals, approximately a
bout nine years. Mauna Loa. the
greatest active voleana in the world,
also is the largest island mountain
mass in the universe. Dr. Jaggar
