But here in the United States we still have the blessing of plenty. A Department of Agriculture sur vey shows that abundant supplies of nearly all food-stuffs will be avail able for the coming year. Increases in production of edible fats and oils are expected to continue. The fresh fruit supply will be slightly above last year, and large wheat and rice crops are anticipated. In the case of most foods, there will be enough to meet all dometsic requirements, and to provide surpluses for export. Other surveys indicate that the demands of war material production In our factories will not seriously dis locate production of consumer goods. We may have to do without a few manufactured luxuries ns time goes on, but there will be plenty of th- necessities. only because Bankrupt nations end in anarchy. Anarchy ends in dictatorship, for dictatorship is the only way in which civil order can again be established. Too late the people of a bankrupt democracy discover what keeps demo cracy alive, namely, a sense of per sonal responsibility for acts of elect ed public servants, and full realiza tion of the fact that there is nothing superhuman about government. What government gives, it must first take away, In piling up debt it is taking away from our national future. If it takes away over a long enough period, there will be no future for us as a free people. Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Meak were dinner guests at the Oliver Oben- chain home Sunday.

FOOL'S PARADISE Congress has not hud the courage thus far to efeet n single important economy to offset record-breaking ill-tense spending, which for the pre sent year will probably run above »20.000,000,0«0. Income, despite new tuxes, will amount to little more than 3«.00« 000,000. As the New York Times observes, this is enough show “that our budget has got terly out of hand." For the time being. war has of debts and deficits in themselves, but because there has been no serious inclination to chart a course that government wiii ultimately bring spending under control, We have no budget policy, and we have no tax policy, The Federal treasury is re- garded as a grab bag. Taxation has been thought of a* something with which to soak the rich and get votes But hidden taxes blanket every ne- i essity and every luxury, and by far the greater part of them are paid by the average citizen. This is the state of the nation financially—a fool’s paradise of waste, at a time when it must be strong if it is to survibe as a democracy in the stern world of the future.
