Ad- vocating the funding of foreign debts to the United States, Representative Tinkham says: “Interest payments upon the fund- ed debts may be applied to tax reduc- tion, but payments of principal shall be used to reduce the national debt. “If the foreign debts now unfunded are funded in accordance with the terms of the British settlement for €0 years the annual interest payments would be $300,000,000 to $350,000,000, or about 20 per cent of the total Fed eral income tax per annum and about 10 per cent of the total annual Fed- eral taxes. “When all foreign debts are funded, about $1,000,000,000 would be paid an- nually on account of principal. Ap- plication of this sum to the reduction of the public debt would also reduce taxes.” Woodmward & Lotheop DOWN STAIRS STORE Friday is Remnant Day Remnant Day Merchandise is not returnable or exchangeable; not sent C.
