O so reads a headline In the news
of the day.
It la a significant headline a
TREMENDOUSLY significant head
line, when you stop to think of all
It means.
THE British borrowed roughly
rouit BILLION dollars from us
and then turned around and lent
MORE than that to other nations
wito which Britain was allied in the
ar.
That Is to say, the British got no
net benefit for themselves out of the
money they borrowed" from us. Tiiey
Just used their credit to help out
their not so solvent allies.
XTOW listen:

Immediately following the war, they
have already PAID BACK something
like half.
There has been no whining, no cry.
tog. not back-biting no Joining In
the cry of "Uncle BhyiockP It was
a debt, and the British Idea of a debt
Is that It Is something to be paid.
ALL this paying of debt hasn't been
so easy on the British, who have
had troubles of their own.
Shifting of trade current since the
war, resulting In Britain's buying
more than she sold, has drained her
gold steadily away from her. As her
gold was drained away, her money
became less stable.
Finally she was forced OPT THE
OOLD STANDARD entirely. In order
to save what little gold she had left.
NOW, on December 15, tomes due
ANOTHER payment on Britain's
debt to this country. This payment
will have to be made In GOLD, be
cause the British have no other way
to pay.lt.
We are selling them more than
they are selling us. 80 they can't
afford to offset one debt against an
other. All they can do la SHIP THE
OOLD to US.
Even ttie prospect of shipping this
further sum of gold out of the coun-
try has badly ehaken the already
shaken value of the pound, and act
ual shipment will shske It further.
BDT listen again:
Nobody hears the British cry
Ing. Nobody hears them talking
pudlatlon. Nobody hears them cuss
ing us.
What they are getting ready to
do Is to walk up to the counter and
PAT THEIR DEBTS no matter what
It costs: no matter what may bap-
pen to them as a result.
XTOBODY knows, at the present mo
ll ment, exactly what shipping
those additional millions In gold out
of the country will do to British
finance, already In a bad way.
But If they can't git an honor
able and businesslike extension of
the loan, they are going to make the
payment when it la due no matter
what the results to themselves may
be.
There's something wholly admlr
able about these British and their
attitude toward the debt they owe.
alwaya been sentiments!
TT about the rrench. It was prob
ably this sentiment, aa much as any-
thlny else, that led us Into the wsr.
We wanted to save the French from
what looked like a certain and TER
RIBLE licking.
And we did It.
NOW let's take a dispassionate look
at the French and the money
THEY borrowed from us.
To begin with, we've forgiven them
already, through various readjust
ments, the debt they contracted for
the actual fighting of the war. On
top of that, we GAVE THEM OUT
RIGHT the railroads and the docks
that we built as a part of our con
duct of the war In France, simply
saving: "We're through with these
things; take them and use them."
About all the money the French
owe us we are speaking here In
broad and general terms Is what
they borrowed AFTER the war.

Entire Final
Devoted to Economic
Necessities of Country
Tax at Factory on Everything Except
Food Is Recomendation; Pay Cut
For Federal Workers Urged
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (AP) A blanketing manufacturers' w,les tax
covering virtually everything but food, and an additional 11 per cunt pay
cut for federal employes was recommended to congress today by President
Hoover.
- In his final message which did not touch upon the agitated ptfcl
tlon question, the chief executive asserted three separate efforts to be "nec
essary foundations to any other action" balancing the budget, complete
reorganization of the nation's banking system, and wholehearted co-operation
with other nitionc in the economlo field.
Aa for the present state of the un-
Ion, he said that "the acute phases
of the crisis have obviously passed,"
and that the freedom from Indus
trial conflict was greater than hith
erto known. '
While we have recently engaged
In the aggressive contest of a na
tional election," he added, "It'a very
tranquility and the acceptance of its
results furnish abundant proof of
the strength of our Institutions."
Proposes Reorganization
In addition to the manufacturers'
sales tax at a "uniform" but un
specified rate, here are some of tine
far-flung proposals lor securing me
balanced budget which ne termed
necessary to "fully restore confidence
In the future":
Widespread reorganization of the
federal government, wltb executive
orders to be submitted "within a
few days" for regrouping and con
solidating more than 60 federal de
partments and agencies.
A flat 11 per cent ciasn in teaerai
salaries, with a 81000 exemption, In
addition to the present 8 1-3 reduc
tion under the furlough system.
Reductions in appropriations under
those for the present fiscal year of
830,000,000 this to be offset In part

tures for public works from 717,
262.000 to 8443,769,000.
Elimination of certain unnamed
navments to veterans arising from
Ill-considered legislation."
The president, after asserting that
measures already adopted naa "un
doubtedly saved the country from
economic disaster, devoted a full sec
tion of his message to criticism of
the nation's banking system. He de
clared "widespread banking reforms
are a national necessity and are the
first requisites for further recovery."
"As a system," ha said, "our nanx
lng has failed to meet this great
emergency."
Bank System Is Drain
"It can be said without question
of doubt that our losses and distress
have been greatly ayro?nd by lta
wholly Inadequate organization. Its
Inability aa a system to respond to
our needs is todsy a constant drain
upon progress toward recovery.
Mr. Hoover explained tnat ne am

bankers, but to a Byatem which In
"Its Instability Is responsible for pe
riodic dangera to our whole economic
system.
Although specific reforms were not
named In the message, the president
pointed out that the methods have
been exhaustively examined and said
that he saw "no reason now why so
lution should not be found at the

LEGAL STEPS FOR

Service of summons on Gordon L.
Schermerhorn, winner of the sheriff's I
race by a majority of 123 votes in
the official count, for a contest and
recount of the ballots, as yet has not

still absent and Is reported to be In

in the last general election but with
drew the legal papers w.hen It was
discovered that Schermerhorn was
not available for service. The suit
alleged that 381 ballots were "erro
neously" cast out by election boards
and that Sheriff Jennings was re
elected by 97 votes.
Attorney Porter J. Neff said this
morning that If Schermerhorn did
not return In time for service of sum
mons in the present action, the re
quest for a recount would be pressed
under the corrupt practice act, which
allows a petition for a recount to be
filed at any time. Summons under
this section of the law can be served
at any time before or after the
swearing in of an official.
Friends of Schermerhorn said
they expected him to return this
morning. Frank Desouza, reported
with Kelly and Kelly to be counsel
for Schermerhorn, said today he had
not knowledge of Scehrmerhorn'a
whereabouts.
Jennings was the "write-In" candi
date of the "Committee of 7000" and
more than 3500 voters wrote In his
name at the general election. Some
citizens feel the recount Is an un
necessary expense, some that It will
show no change, and some that the
recount should be held to definitely
remove alt doubt and clear the po

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. This ses

a a fault of government that will
never happen again.
The Inside situation is that 'Presi

anything Important that the Demo

Democrats similarly would prefer to
hold their big moves if possible un
til after March 4.
Mr. Hoover cannot sacrifice prin
ciple to sign measures he does not
approve. Congressmen, generally,
think the big Democratic majorities
elected In November ought to lay tha
plana for the future.
It Is all due to the lame duck ses
sion Intervening between elections
and installations of new congresses.
This practice will be abolished when
19 more state legislatures approve
the lame duck amendment this yesr.
Cooperation flew out of the window
when Gov. Roosevelt declined to ba
drawn into the war debt matter. The
underlying situation has changed
here sines. Mr. Hoover and hla cabi
net officiate were privately very much
put out about It. They aired their
opinions fully in private converse'-

In congress, Republican leaden
have given sincere personal assur
