Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
IN the caws from Washington of
late, you hare been reading a great
deal about unbalanced budgets. "Un
balanced budget" U one of these
nlgh-Boundlng terms that the Jour
nalists like to use.
In plain, ordinary words that ev
erybody can understand. It means
spending more than Is taken In.
When a government Is appropriating
and spending more money than Is
raised by taxation, It has an unbal
anced budget.
WHEN you spend more money
than you earn, you get Into
trouble IMMEDIATELY.
When your bills come due, and
you have no money with which to
pay them, you must either stand off
your creditors, or you must BORROW
the money with which to pay.
When you undertake to borrow the
money you need, you will be asked
some exceedingly embarasslng ques
tions, such aa. this:
"How on earth do you expect to
PAY BACK thla money you want to
borrow w,hen you haven't any more
financial sense than to spend more
than you earn?"
It's quite possible that you won't
get the money.
WHEN government, persistently
appropriate and spend more
money than they raise by taxation,
they too get Into trouble, but NOT
SO QUICKLY aa you do.
Their ability to borrow Is greater
than yours, and unfortunately. It
must be said tlose who lend money
to governments don't ask such pry
ing question as those who lend to
Individuals.
So extravagant governments are
slower In getting Into trouble than
extravagant Individuals.
BUT, If It keeps up long enough,
the government ttiat spends
more money than It ralsea by taxa
tion get Into trouble just as surely
a the individual who spends per
sistently more than he earns.
Great Britain la a shining ex
ample. IP anyone had said 30 years ago
that within two decades the credit
of Great Britain would become
shaky, he would probably have been
hustled off to the asylum.
But we of thla present day have
seen the credit of the British gov
ernment become so shaky that It
waa compelled to abandon the gold
standard of money values In order
to save Itself from possible disaster.
WHY?
Because over ft considerable period
of time the British government ap
propriated and spent more money
than It raised by taxation.
THE United States li the wealthiest
nation on earth. It. government
Is now the most solvent government
on earth.
But this government of ours Is
spending more than It raises by tax
ation. In tola year alone. It will
spend something like TWO BILLION
DOLLARS more money than It will
raise by taxation. It Is borrowing
the difference.
ISTEN: ' '
If the government of the
United States, which Is the
strongest government on earth, goes
on for a number of yeBra spending
more money than It raises by tax
ation and borrowing the difference,
aa It la doing now, It credit also
will be shaken, Just aa the credit
of the British government was
shaken.
That la wfty the tax bill that Is
now before congress is so supremely
Important.
YOU may aay: Sure; but what
do's all that meAn In MY
LIFE?"
It means Just this: If the credit
of the government of ths United
States suiters, the credit of every
citizen of the United States will
utter.
If ths credit of every cltlten of
the United States Is made to suffer,
business and industry will collapse
and you will lose your Job.
The present depression ts mild and
Innocent compared to what would
happen If the credit of the govern
ment of the United States should
topple from its present firm founda
tion. THE subject of government finance
la dry. It la more than prob
able that thla discussion of It bore
you to tears. In the event that you
have red this far Into It.

Japanese government has decided to
refuse to furnish the league of na

6T the Japanese controvoriy called
for under article 19 of the league
covenant, It was learned on good au

ed the decision eventually might
lead to Japan's withdrawal from the
league.
The atep was forecast nearly two

beginning of hostilities at Shanghai.
The article specifies that nations on
both sides of a controversy shall sub
mit statements of their cases, upon

The prediction also was made at
that time that Japan would resist,
even to the extent or withdrawing
from the league. If the application of
the article were pressed.
Well-informed quarters here today
