'T'lIlS dispatch came from Hous-
ton, Texas, whore the nation's
bankers held their annual conven
tion: "flrvnll W. Adams, president of
the American Bankers association,
demanded today in his annual ad
dress that the federal government
reduce the deficit and begin pitying
the public debt."
yo that demand, every citizen
who Is ADLK TO THINK will
respond with n fervent "amen." If
the federal government doesn't be
gin to reduce its deficit, but instead
froes on running heavily into debt
every year, as it 1ms been doing
for years, consequences of the grav
est sort will ensue. The conse
quences will affect EVERY LIVING
AMERICAN.
1ffR. Adams added:
"Never should the American
bankers association remain silent
when politicians are spending the
country into bankruptcy. We must
take the battle to our depositors.
We must make them realize that it is
T UK III FIGHT; Ihut 9U per cent of
the assets of the country belong to
them."
A SK yourself this question:
"Whose money is it that is
being spent?" This must bo your
nnswor: "Why, It is the people's
money, of course."
If you will then do a littlo study
ing, you will be forced to" realize
lhat the bulk of the money that
Is being spent with such reckless
(.liandon by the federal government
belongs to the people who deposit
their money in the banks:
The people put their money In
the banks. The banks (more or
less under compulsion) lend It to
the government. Thus the people's
money gets into the government's
hands. '
"nuT," you will say at onco "the
" government ALWAYS pays
Its debts. Therefore our money is
as safe In the hands of the govern
ment as It would be In the banks."
Go hack nnd road your history,
pining special attention to the his
tory or government finance. Unless
you are familiar with the subject
already, you will bo AMAZED at
the extent to which governments
since the world began have failed
to pay their debts in full.
Yon will discover, in fact, that
