There will be no general offering of the bonds in this country. It shouldn’t do much good even if they were offered for sale here but investors are not always the smartest people in the world and those in the bond selling end of the banking busi- ness have not always been overscrupulous. The fact which America should not forget is that as many banks were busted by the decline in foreign security values as by failure of local bor- * rowers to pay their obligations. Foreign bonds were sold to local bankers throughout the nation by high-pressure methods from the financial big shots. Bankers in the smaller cities and towns of America were afraid to take chances on their neighbors. They could see the difficul- ties of obtaining repayment there.

It is a good law. But it does put a crimp in Europe's style. It takes money |% **! to fight a war and the biggest resource in the world is closed to every prospective belligerent.

Light on Filmland Not everyone in the movie industry gets a salary of a ol million dollars a year, no matter what the press agents say. ss In fact, a glance at the figures makes it easy to conclude that a good deal of the money talk one hears from filmland is intended to impress the customers rather than the product of normal arithmetic. In 1985, for example, the “take” at all of the amusement places in the country was $699,051,000. That included not only motion picture theaters but circuses, theatrical productions and t other attractions, Athletic attractions are, of course, excepted, but dance halls, amusement parks, bowling alleys and billiard halls are included. The figures may not be correct but they are the official statistics of the federal bureau of the census and hence are not tainted with pressagentry. When it is realized that $159,641,000 was paid to full-time proprietors took their share of the proceeds, it is easy to under- the other sums necessary to operate the theaters and other| or attractions and the amount available to fill tha stockings of filmland’s darlings is still further reduced. The figures are interesting in that they discourage the| through the conception of movie making as an industry whose leaders have ground that they are tremendous money-makers. A few do get unusually fat paychecks, to be sure, but when all is said and done it probably is a good thing that living is would find it difficult to survive. : The nation is indebted to the census bureau for shedding a little honest light on a situation which has perplexed all who thought about it and worried many who felt the movie folk were - getting all of the breaks. Common Sense Justice An interesting sidelight on modern American justice appeared in an Illinois court the other day. A young farmer had been convicted of killing and taking @ neighbor's steer, valued at $50. The statutory penalty for the crime was one to 10 years. A short time previously, however, a banker, well known in the district, had been sent to prison for one to 10 years for embezzling $15,000 of public school funds. - Moved by the tearful plea of the young farmer's mother and a petition from 200 citizens, and hesitating to mete out pun- ishment that had fitted a far greater crime, the judge put the), Letv;, “Why are young man on probation.
