How About the U. S. Debt?
A PERPLEXED subscriber haa asked this paper to answer
the following questions :
Is the national debt now greater than ever before In tho
country' history, Including the period at Uie close of the
world war?
Will this debt be Increased by the knocking out of the AAAT
If the soldiers' bonus Is pused will the debt be Increased?
Just what Is the amount of the national debt?
Is It true that the national debt can not be paid off without
Inflation or repudiation?
In his recent message to congress did President Roouevelt ,
promise to balance the budget, and did he name a date when
It would be balanced?
Well here goes: .
Tea, the national debt is now greater than ever before in
cluding the close of tho world war period. .
Unless some substitute for the AAA is provided, which also
provides about half a billion dollars in revenue to make up for
the wiping out of the processing taxes, the national debt will
be increased by this amount.
If a soldiers' bonus is passed, which calls for cash payments,
the national debt will be increased by whatever the total
amount of the payments may be; for in the estimates made re
garding tho debt, no provision was made for such a payment.
This is assuming no special tax is levied to supply the funds.
The government's fiscal year runs from July to July. The
national debt July 1st, 1935, was $28,701,000,000. Two years
ago President Roosevelt estimated the national debt on that
date would reach $31,834,000,000. The present national debt
is slightly over $30,000,000,000.
According to the most reliable experts, it is NOT true, the
present national debt can not be liquidated without unregulated
inflation or repudiation. In his. recent budget message, the
president estimated the national debt on June 1st, 1937 at
$31,351,000,000, roughly half a billion dollars less than the
ostimated debt set for the end of the fiscal year 1935.
. President Roosevelt in his message to the congress, did not
promise to balance the budget, so of course no date for that
happy event was named. He did say "We approach a balancing
of the budget" and added:
"National Income Increases. Tax revenues baaed on that In
come Increase without the levying of new taxes. That la why
I am able to say that It Is my belief that no new
taxes over and above the present taxes are either advisable or
necessary. National Income Increases; employment In
creases. Therefore we can look forward to a reduction In the
number of citizens who are In need. Therefore, also, we can
anticipate a reduction In our appropriations for relief. In the
light of our substantial material progress I recommend
to the congress, ths,t we advance and do not retreat."
Some idea of why there is no danger of national bankruptcy,
and why heralding an "approach" to balancing the budget is
.iustificd, may be found in the official estimate of total outlay
revenue and iWicit for the nexf two years, and the same figures
for the year just closed.
1935 . 1936 1937
Outlay $6,802,000,000
Revenue 3,800,000,000
Deficit $3,002,000,000
$ 518,000,000
i Obviously if federal revenues increase steadily at this rate,
expenditures will have to decline very slightly to make a bal
ancing of the budget possible in tho fiscal year 1938. The half
billion dollar loss in processing taxes however is not included
in these estimates, so the estimated 1937 revenue should be
reduced by this amount.
To sum up, The national debt is greater than it has ever
been in the country's history j BUT if business improves in the
immediate future as it has in the past, or even if it holds its
own, there is nothing whatever to worry about, as far as the
ability of this country to successfully handle such a debt burden
is concorned.

The Talk on Russia
To the Editor:
The lecture delivered Tuesday night
In Medford called "The Truth About
Russia" almost packed the ' great
hall. Thla would Indicate, If It doea
not prove, much Interest on the sub
ject In this locality. Too bad so lit
tle of the truth waa given for the
money.
The truth about Russia, a vast
land where everything Is In rapid
motion, cannot be grasped by any
one person certainly not by anyone
handicapped by religious convictions
as deep as the lecturer s, such a
mind is Incompetent because, as
Relnsch has pointed out, It Is bur
dened with "a system of scruples
that present an obstacle to the free
exercise of the acuities." To under
stand the Ru:Uii scene the facul
ties must be free. If rareto Is right
in his claim that no man possesses
free faculties It would alone explain
the mass of contradictory report on
Russia by travelers.

The lecture waa not confined to

generally suffering from excessive

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Frost or Steam on Windows
Why la It that the windows of our
house always seem to be more or leas
frosted when It Is very cold, while the
windows of our neighbors remain
clear? Does that mean the air is too
damp or that we don't have enough
heat? The house seems comfortable
enough. (Mrs. B. C. C.)
Answer It means that the air of
your neighbors' houses Is too dry.
Some condensation of "steam" on the
window panes, when the outdoor
temperature la below freezing, is a
fair .sign that a fair degree of humid
ity Is maintained In the heated air in
the house, and that conduces to com
fort aa well as health.
I odln HoUon for Expectant Mother
For several years we have been us
ing your lodin ration in our family
with ilne results. Now I am expect
ing a baby and wonder whether I
should continue taking lodln . , .
(Mrs. L. R.)
Answer It Is a good plan for ex
pectant and nursing mothers to take
an lodin ration, especially in goitrous
districts. But you had better ask
your own physician about it.
Cocoa
What effect will be caused by
drinking three cups of hot cocoa
daily? Was told It la very heating
and will cause one's blood to thicken.
(Mrs. J. J. S.)
Answer Cocoa yields 200 calories
to the cupful, Including the sugar
and milk. It Is neither "heating"
nor doea It "thicken the blood". Its
effect aside from the nutritive value
indicated. Is similar to the effect of
tea. Cocoa Is not advisable for chil
dren because it gives a false sense of
satisfaction and prevents the child
from taking other and more essential
foods. Cocoa stimulates the kidneys
another reason why It Is not advis
able for children.

Comment
on the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS.
A READER of this column writes:
"In your column, comment
ing on the day's news, there Is
this statement:
'Thla omlnoua headline meets
the eye: CONGRESS SWINOS
INTO ACTION.
" 'Shudderlngly, fearfully, cyni
cally, we ask ourselves thla ques
tion: What kind of action?"
"I would Inquire: if you con
template the assembly of the
congress with such shuddering,
cynical fear, what would you
do about It If you had the
power? Would you abolish the
congress?"
ABOLISH CONGRESS?
May heaven forbid! This writer's
criticism of congress during the past
couple of years Is that it has ABOL
ISHED ITSELF.
I
WHAT we need, above everything i
else In this country right now.
Is to have restored to us a REAL
CONGRESS, with a working ma
jority composed of courageous states
men Instead of spineless opportun
ists who are ready to rubber-stamp
ANYTHING that seems to promise
votes at the moment.
WHILE we are on the subject of
politics, note carefully thla sen
tence from an Associated Press
Washington dispatch:
"Roosevelt administration officials
from the White House emphasized
again and again today (Wednes
day) that the supreme court Justices
handed down TWO opinions (ma
jority and minority) In the case that
wrecked AAA."
To be sure they did.
And at the election In 1932 the
VOTERS handed down two opinions
a majority and a minority. The
majority opinion favored Roosevelt
and the New Deal and the minority
opinion favored something else.
The MAJORITY OPINION pre
vailed. NOW note THIS sentence from the
same dispatch:
"There was evidence (In Washing
ton on Wednesday, following the
AAA decision) that administration
leaders hope the nation will REJECT
the constitutional views of the su
preme court's majority and eventu
ally follow the course upheld by .the
minority.'
Well, a lot of people hope that
at the next election the nation win
reject the views expressed by the
majority of the voters at the last
election and eventually follow the
course upheld by the minority."
So, you see. It's an even break.
BY THE WAY, have you heard the
latest New Deal story, which
runs something like this:
Back in the days when they were
killing the pigs and the veal calves,
etc., they started a New Deal crew
out from Washington with Instruc
tions to go to each farm, kill halt
the animals of certain kinds, they
found, pay the farmer for them ana
go on.
"But," the crew protested, "we
don't know one farm animal from
another. What If we make a mis
take and kill the wrong kind?"
"Oh, that's easy," was the reply.
"Here's a book, with pictures. 11
you're in doubt about any animal
you find, Just look In the book."
SO the crew took the book and
started out and got along all
right until the foothills of the
Rockies were reached. Here they ran
into a band of goats, and were
STUMPED.
They looked In the book, but it
didn't seem to enlighten them, tfo
they sent this telegram to Washing
ton: "Find strange animal not in book
Has sad face, long white whiskers
and mud all over Its feet. What
shall we do."
This answer came by return wire:
"For heaven's sike don't kin
That's the farmer we're trying to
help."

pidgin. And not until last night
did I know the whole of Japan
occupies a smaller area than Cali
fornia. And someone Harry Barton,
I think called mystery story au
thors "writers of Whodunits." Point
of view: James Cagney gives more
reality to his role than any screen
tough boy. Ideal breakfast for a
hungry man: Munich white sausage,
fresh pumpernickel, thinly sliced
yel'ow cheese. And a tangy glass of
goat's milk.
