ents. One contention holds one hour
per week of drill, places an "unequal
burdon" on the campua boys. An
other contention broadly contends.
If a college youth Is not forced to
drill, he would go to war, for the
right to drill. A collegian will always
be able to find something he wants
to get out of doing, by a vote of
the people. If the people docldo by
their ballot, an hour of drill per
week, causes too much physical pain
and mental anguish, tor youth to

the next election. It may be an In
itiative measure, providing for the

What Are
know some good people
" are genuinely alarmed at
debt, and believe the election of
uncontrolled inflation and printing press money.
Well, they are entitled to
wonder where they get their figures to sustain it.
The only figures we have
federal expenditures before the Wilson administration, includ
ing every administration from the time of Washington, were ap
proximately the same as during
less than four years.
We admit such a showing is
talking point, but coining down
to do with the case, one way or
TPIIE only question is what is
PRESENT time. What is
handle itf What he spent or
more to do with his present financial standing, than what an
individual did with his money in the years gone by has to do
with HIS financial standing today.
It also seems obvious that the size of the debt is not a dc
termining factor with a country anymore than with an individ
ual. If a man has a debt at the
worth $10,000 his financial predicament is serious, but if his
debt is ten times that amount, and he is a Henry Ford worth a
billion, more or less, there is nothing for him or any one else,
to worry, about.
In other words debt as a financial danger muBt include abil
ity to pay, there is no other way to consider it.
CO far so good. Now what is the present national debt, and
what is Uncle Sam's ability, under present conditions to
pay it t
On June 30th of this year
billions (plus). On March 4th,
it was 21 billions (minus) an increase of approximately 12 bil
lions in less tha'n your years. We admit a sizeable increase.
(Yet it might bo noted that during the World war in a far
shorter period of time the national debt was increased from 25
to 30 billions; and there was destruction rather than reconstruc
tion to show for it.)
But lot that pass. Tako that figure of 33 billions, which has
now reached approximately 34 billions. Is that too great a debt
for this country to handle without uncontrolled inflation and
printing press money J
The experts don't think so.
Whyf Because that debt huge as it is, when compared vith
national wealth and capacity to pay, is relatively speaking
small.
TO illustrate. Great Britain is known as solvent, and financ
flllv unlink no ia ti1nvniKin! mil Tf hot nflUliAn r.nn.
lation nor the assets of this country.
And yet, if Unole Sam had today a debt, as large in propor
tion, as his cousin John Bull, our present indebtedness would
be 116 billion, instead of 34.
If there is no danger of printing press money in England
certainly there should be none here. (These are the figures Mr.
Ernest K. Lindley, of the Republican New York Herald Tribune
presents in his book "Half Way With Roosevelt," and as far
aware have never been questioned.)
As far as capacity to pay is concerned Mr. Ijindlev declares
tho figures are oven more striking. We quote:
"Whan related to the national Income tho coat of the Federal
debt on March S, 1939 (end of Hoover's term) waa 1.77 cents out
of each dollsr of the national Income. By June 1936 the cost of
the federal debt had dropped to approximately 1.40 cents out of
each dollar, and thla year (1039) If the national Income Is 60
billion (as estimated) the annual Interest cost of 34 billion dol
lars would take 1.44 cents of each dollar of Income."
In other words, as has been previously pointed out in this
column, the national debt is not as serious a financial menace
today, because of tho increase in national wealth and income,
as it was during the last half of tho Hoover administration.
Yet at that time there was no Colonel Knox crying about print
ing press money and inflation.
. i
'T'HIS paper holds no brief for going into debt, federal or
otherwise. But there are times, in the life of a nation as
of an individual, when debt is not only unavoidable but an in
eseapnblo obligation of sound business practice.
Such a time occurred during the Wilson administration,
when to wage a successful war against Germany, debt had to
be incurred. Such a time ocourred following the war when the
most devastating business depression in all history struck this
country, iu both cases billions had to be borrowed to save our
democracy. In both cases we maintain the results justified the
expenditures.
That the federal budget should be balanced at the earliest
possible time, no ono denies. Both presidential candidates are
plodged to do so. That federal expenditures should be reduced
to the minimum consistent with the publio welfare, is also ad
mitted and no matter who is elected we are confident, this will
be tho effort of the next administration.
DOT it is ONE thing to declare the present debt large, and
should bo reduced, and quite another to maintain it is so
large, that it represents an immediate financial danger, and if
tho people happen to vote one way, this country will be bank
nipt, and if they vote the other way, it won't be.
This is simply unadulterated whang-doodle, and every in
formed person in tho country knows itl
And yet Colonel Knox who originated the cry of no savings
awounts snfe, no insurance policies sound, continues to ring the
changes on it, in a brazen and unprincipled effort to scare
the voters away from President Roosevelt, snd put hiin and his
team mate in the White House.
It simply isn't true, ami wo believe the people of this coun
try two weeks from today, will go to the polls, snd give prac
tical and conclusive evidence that they KNOW it.

OLD DOO
Recently we told how a young man
witn hernia which disqualified him
from getting a coveted Job obtained
& cure by Injection treatment, In
spite of the com
placent assurance
of the braae sur
geon In chief of
the civil service
board, and got
the Job. The self
esteem of the
brass surgeon
blinded him to
the truth. You
know It Is hard
to teach an old
dog new trick.
Here ts another
Instance. A man
with Indirect Inguinal hernia was re
fused a Job In a large manufacturing
plant. The head surgeon of the plant
recommended surgery, of course at
his hands. The patient entered a
hospital to be prepared for opera
tion, but at this Juncture learned of
an unfortunate fatality the surgeon
had recently had following operation
for hernia. The patient demanded
ills clothes and In spite of all efforts
left tho hospital and returned home.
But still, handicapped with hernia, he
could not have a Job. So he sought
out a competent physician who treats
hernia by the ambulant or Injection
method. In two months the phy
sician assured the patient his hernJa
was cured.
The patient again reported to the
chief surgeon of the manufacturing
plant, who examined him and ex
pressed astonishment at the absence
of any sign of hernia. The brass
surgeon called In three other doc
tors who examined the patient care
fully and all agreed he hid no herla.
But did he get the Job? Certainly
not. The Big Brass Surgeon was tu
full command of the situation and
laughingly assured the man that he
would have hla renla back the same
as or worse than it had ben before.
Just as soon as the "serum" Injected
should be absorbed or dried up; more
over, the Big Liar assured the patient
that the "serum" Injected would veiy
likely cause oancer later In life. But
the patient need not worry, for the
Big Quack was still willing to oper
ate, clear the "serum" out and fix
the rupture properly.
That Brass Surgeon's attitude was !
Inspired by the half-baked piopaganda
of tho American Medical association j

Malefactors Against Roosevelt
To the Editor:
The tragedy of this campaign Is
that the Big Boys, who were rescued
from bankruptcy by loans from the
United States treasury, are now
spending millions to defeat their
benefactor. President Roosevelt. Hav
ing had their own nests feathered,
they salted down the surplus, and
have refused to co-operate by Invest
ing In or loaning to legitimate en
terprise, thus forcing the government
to bear the whole burden of recov-
erly, and now pretend to vision bank
ruptcy of the nation because the ad
ministration was forced to increase
the federal debt to supply similar
help to the unfortunate In the lower
brackets and prevent million of the
poor from starving.
Aa an Instance, take the great ln-
surance companies. They have kept
their capital Idle and have passed
the accumulated overhead expense on
down to their policy holders. Upon
recent complaint of decreased divi
dends, one of these multl-mtlltonatre
companies writes: "The reason for
this decrease Is very plain and ap
parent. It Is clue wholly to the fact

Ordinarily, you would think the
