COMMUNICATIONS
Regarding U. S. War Debt.
To the Editor:
The president says In his Lincoln
day address, "The war cost more than
$40,000,000,000, is already halt paid,
and our 'debt payins program is at the
rate of $500,000,000, each. (I presume
this mean year,) and in spite of this
the next fiscal year had an estimated
surplus revenue of over $300,000,000."
Nd wonder there is hard times and
a general collapse throughout the agri
cultural districts of our country. Im
agine it, $20,000,000,000 of our debt
paid oft in five years and $800,000,000
being raised over and above tho actual
expenses of conducting the government
this year and coming years. Follow
ing this statement the president says
Great Hritian has arranged to, pay off
her war debt to us over a period of 62
years. Would It not be well to unload
some of this grevious burden from the
shoulders of the groat agricultural dis
tricts of our country and extend the
period of paying up our big war debt
the same as Eugland is now doing and
we did with our Civil war debt.
