The World’s Good News
Why Cancel?
More Money Needed
Rockefeller and McCooey
France and Germany have reached
an agreement about debts and repara
tions. After 1930, which gives them
three years to get ready, Germany
will issue bonds for three billion gold
marks, about $712,500,000. The bonds
will be issued at SO and come due in
thirty-seven years, amortized at the
rate of 1 per cent a year.
When the news was published, Ger
man "dollar bonds" In Wall street
jumped up suddenly. This is good
news for the world In general. The
sooner that war is paid for and for
gotten the better for everybody.
Senator Shlpstead, a thoughtful man
from the North, offers a Senate reso
lution proposing cancellation of Eur
ope's debts to us, If the uations agree
to progressive disarmament.
Progressive disarmament by all
means, provided this country is kept
always in readiness for any unex
pected attack. But WHY debt can
cellation?
After Europe has paid her war debts
she will he less Inclined to start an
other war, A burnt child dreads the
tire, but not an Imitation electric
fire that does not burn.
There Is some money left In this
country of worries and doubts, fortu
nately. Statements published by the
two biggest hanks In America show
that the Chase bank has assets
amounting to oue thousand seven him
dred and thirty-one million dollars,
and the National City honk assets ,»f
one thousand five hundred and sixty
seven millions. When Ihls money and
some other billions get Into business
and pay rolls, prosperity will come
back.
But banks cannot distribute the bll
Hons. That must be done through In
dividual initiative, which Is dlscour
aged by destructive taxation, born of
reckless government extravagance.
John H. McCooey, leader of the
Democratic party In Brooklyn, says
conditions are Improving. Various In
dications prove it, including the
Williamsburg bridge connecting Brook
lyn and Manhattan, now crowded
with trucks carrying merchandise, the
trucks more numerous, more heavily
loaded, than they were recently.
Mr. McCooey, who for forty years
has been an important man in New
York, says, "There Is no better se
curity than a New York City bond.”
John D, Rockefeller, who has Just
passed his ninety third birthday, also
believes in prosperity’s return. When
you play golf with him, Mr. Rockefell
er concentrates on every shot, never
misses th« ball completely, never slices
Into the rough. He makes It his busi
ness to do what he undertakes to do.
If the length of a drive disappoints
him he turns to you and says: “I am
not discouraged.”
Mr. Rockefeller Isn’t discouraged
in business either. On his birthday he
tells the public: "For ninety-three
years of my life depressions have
come and gone. Prosperity has al
ways returned, and will again,”
This country Is sound, says Mr.
Rockefeller, Its fundamental princi
ples being “liberty, unselfish devotion
to the common good, and belief in
God.”
May you be as optimistic when you
reach the age of 93.
Smith Reynolds, only twenty, worth
many mllllous, died of a bullet wound
In the temple. Ills young wife, see
ond that he had married, was near.
The coroner is “satisfied It was sui
clde."
Of all man’s acts, suicide Is per
haps the strangest. Wealth destroys
Itself, while poverty hangs on. One
eager for notoriety, jumps Into the
mouth of a volcano; another burns
the temple of Diana at Ephesus that
his name may he remembered; an old
Greek philosopher stumbles and falls
on leaving his classroom, then kills
himself. Napoleon, unable for many
years to rise in the French army, was
divided In his mind between suicide
and marrying an elderly, prosperous
widow. He avoided both.
Veterans thnt went to Washington
expecting a bonus will be surprised
to learn that the Capital has tear gas
'•available tn case of a major emer
gency."
The gas would be used gently, how
ever, according to the authorities.
“There will he no obnoxious use of
gas. The candles available here will
spread only a thin cloud of smoke.”
“The richest country in the world”
might find something better for needy
veterans than tear gas.
Philip S. LnFollette, son of Robert,
a second time candidate for governor
of Wisconsin, says:
"If we stand today on the brink of
a precipice, etc.”
We do not “stand on the brink of
a precipice." We stand in the richest
country In the world, with no trouble
except thnt we have too much of
everything except brains Hnd common
sense. We may be choked by too
much wheat, drowned In too much
oil, burned by too much coal, spoiled
by too much money, hut there is not
any precipice, although it might be
possible to create an artificial pred
pice that would work fairly well.

REVENUE—AND MORE REVENUE
This much can be said for the new revenue bill—it will prob
ably balance the budget and remove the present danger to
American credit.
This can be staid against it—it takes us another long step to
ward a tax condition similar to that of England, Australia, Ger
many and the other tax-distressed countries. The levies
against gasoline > lubricating oli, tires, electricity, the check and
bond taxes, the theatre tax, etc., will work hardships on mil
lions of our citizens. The income tax increases will doubtless
cause a further flow' of capital into tax-free government bonds,
thus taking away out of the channels of trade, and away from
industries sorely in need of funds. To this extent, it will ham
per employment and delay a return to normal conditions.
There is one lesson wc should have learned—that undeviat
ing watchfulness is the price of economical and efficient gov
“ ourselves principally ".«* :r to *“ blame- paj gre “ tis i "' rc officeholders ““' 1 •— all the
we gave
rope they wanted, and they are slowly strangling us. The
American has been indifferent to the operation of his govern
ment. He has been a poor stockholder. He is paying now.
The tax fight never ends. It is time we laid our plans for
doing what we can, through the power of the ballot, to make
tax reduction a reality in the future.
