Argument for Cancellation i It was a rather weak argument which Representative Usher L. Burdick recently advanced for the cancellation of _ debts owed by the farmers to the government for feed and seed ‘Joans. i There is little likelihood that this country will become | embroiled in a war soon and whether or not the debts were paid / would have little bearing on the efficiency of our national de- ‘igense. On this basis his proposal to add $100,000,000 to the ‘| military appropriation and then use it to cancel the feed and Ht ‘seed loans lacks merit. | On the other hand, it is improbable that Mr. Burdick “intended the suggestion to be taken seriously. It probably is merely his way of dramatizing a situation which admittedly is _ eerious. | Available figures show that the PRIVATE debts of farm- | ers are smaller now than they were before the economic debacle. {Many of them have refinanced mortgages on their land, adjust- | their other debts in the process, and have been unable to ‘get back into debt as deeply as before because of the lack of ‘credit. | But their PUBLIC debts in the form of feed and seed loans land taxes have been piling up steadily. Farmers cannot pay _ without money any faster than they can turn stones into bread. |The result is an overpowering burden of debts owed to the | | federal and local governments which probably will never be paid | | ip any event. : They are carried on the public books as collectible items i ‘but anyone who looks at the matter knows that this is mere |\idelusion. Many of them will never pay because they cannot pay. iI It is only natural that any effort to scale down this burden should begin with the federal government. Uncle Sam has, on the whole, been most generous to his children and might be ’xpected to take the lead. : But that canny old gentleman shows signs of reverting from che Santa Claus role to that of the lean and shrewd Yankee ‘which prtoonists knoviy The government spending spree is . pene and cancellation’ of the farm debts is merely another ‘orm of spending, since any reduction in the debt means elimina- tion of an offsetting credit item on the government’s books for noney already expended. Just now we have a moratorium with few persons paying es. Foreclosures have been halted because failure to do so ould have eliminated thousands of individual landowners from his state. For many this is a good thing, but some are taking nfair advantage of it. They will continue to do so as long as he moratorium exists. The result will be to victimize those vho do pay their taxes and make it impossible for political sub- visions to collect the revenue they need. a But the delinquent tax load now id too heavy for many to up under it. The alternatives are to retain the moratorium ‘Hindefinitely, with all of its evil consequences; to eliminate it F itnd let the full force of their debts fall upon the delinquent payers without further mercy; or to first make an adjust- ent and then lift the moratorium. The last course would require courage. The easiest thing to let such matters drift. There are reasons, however, why would be unintelligent to shut our eyes to what is admittedly bad situation. Continued only a little longer, the present sys- pm means collapse of our public services, a state of practical inarchy and almost universal bankruptcy. If we are to go head we must first get on a solid foundation. No intelligent m contends that we have it now.

In this, of course, Dr. Brady is eminently correct. Period- ly Th.

There were several striking exam- ples of this in the complimentary. mausicale which the Mehus conserva- tory gave Sunday afternoon in the city auditorium, presenting several ad- vanced pupils of the conservatory’s different branches and former pupils jwho were home for the holiday vaca- tion.

Nazi ‘Insult to Queen’ Protested by Holland ‘The Hague, The Netherlands, Jan. ¢—(®)—The Netherlands government protested formally to Berlin Monday against what it termed “an insult to the queen” because of the alleged holding up of passports for three of Crown Princess’ Juliana’s bridesmaids. The protest climaxed German- Netherlands friction preliminary to next Thursday's wedding of Juliane and Prince Bernhard Zu Lippe-Bies- terfeld of Germany. The friction arose from Dutch action in ignoring Nazi national flags and anthems in the pre-marital activities. Three of the bridegroom’s cousins, the Princesses Sieglinde and Eliza- beth Zu Lippe and Sophie Zu Saxe- ‘Weimar-Eisenach, are among Juli- ana’s chosen bridesmaids.
