WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY. -MAR(’,H 16, 1933. Problem of National Debt /FASK HARDER NOW THAN IN POST-WAR PERIOD. BY J. R. BRACKETT. EW YORK (#).—A principal factor in maintaining the soundness of a nation’s cur- rency is preservation of its credit—an end toward which vigorous efforts are now being made at_Washington. How this can be done is a question arousing adherents on both sides of the general question of whether a government's budget needs to be bal- anced in times of stress and whether such a government’s credit is not un- limited despite and whatever the status of the budget. ‘When Budget's Don’t Balance. If a government fails to balance its budget year after year, a deficit may accumulate which® cannot be pal through taxation since, in a period of stress, it may be impossible to collect B ) rtwe s government ‘To_pay expenses may b forced into issuing flat money, which is currency based on nothing more than the government’s promise to pay at some future date. If the government uses such currency to pay its obligations it will dilute the nation’s money supply, with the result each unit of the currency will have less purchasing power. Germany’s Example Cited. In Germany, for example, after the war this expansion proceeded to such an extent that the currency became literally wodrth less than the paper it rinted on. wn’f‘h‘; new currency provided in the 1) present situation is not being used by the Government to pay expenses, as was the case in Germany. It finds its w-g into circulation through the banks and will get into icrculation only so far as bank depositors withdraw their money. The national debt of the United States at the end of the fiscal year ended June 20, 1932, was about $19,- 500,000,000, not as high as’in 1919, right after the war, when it was $25,- 500,900,000, But in terms of its burden on the people, the debt today may be larger than the 1919 debt because this is a time of depression and 1919 was a time of prosperity. It was, in other words, easier to collect taxes and to borrow money because the Nation had more id | money. Bond Issues Proposed. President Roosevelt has proposed a budget reduction of from $500,000,000 to $700,000,000, which he believes will | bring expenses and receipts into bal- | ance. On this basis, officials see neces- sary Government borrowing rendered easier because of this added indication of the Nation's intention to maintain the currency. Others have proposed large bond is- sues to be sold on patriotic grounds much as Liberty bonds were sold dur- ing the war to provide additional Gov- ernment funds for public works. ‘The theory is that such public works would start the wheels of industry. Rexford G. Tugwell, one of President Roosevelt's economic advisers, has pro- posed such an issue. HERRIOT PROTESTS MILITARISM CHARGE France Wants to “Eat Soup in Tranquillity,” He Declares, An- swering Lloyd George. By the Associated Press. PARIS, March 16.—Former Premier Edouard Herriot, in an article in Ere Nouvelle, last night made a strong pro- test to the English against charges that France has militarist tendencies. “The secret of our whole policy is hat we wish to be able to eat our soup in tranquillity,” M. Herriot wrote. “Our precautions have no other cause,” he added. “I ask you if Ger-, many invited Great Britain to reduce | her fleet to the proportions of Ger-| many’s, what would you answer?” | (M. Herriot referred particularly to a | speech made in Sheffield, England, on Monday by David Lloyd George, in which the English Liberal leader was quoted as saying that “Germany did and to a statement by Mr. Lloyd George that a world conference of all Christian churches might achieve the “seemingly impossible miracle of universal peace.”) ROBBER GETS TREATMENT NEW YORK., March 16 robber last night failed to cash frem Jacob Grossman, a chirop- ‘odis:, but he had his corns treated | ree. He called first in the afternoon, in- | quired in detail ebout the treatment, made an appointment for last night, | and returned with a companion who waited in an ante room 20 minutes | ;\'hfle the chiropodist worked on his | eet. | At the end of the treatment, the men confronted Grossman with drawn revolvers.

NEW YORK, March 16 (#).—Peggy Lawton Rich’s $50,000 damage suit against the Madison Square Garden Corporation and the New York Rangers was dismissed in Supreme Court yesterday. ‘The former show girl claimed the damages for injuries received when she was hit by a hockey stick while watching a game in the garden De- | cember 13, 1931, Justice John L. Walsh found that the stick flew from the hands of Bun Cook of ‘the Rangers, as Mrs. Rich alleged, but that this was “exceptional and extraordinary” and thzt the de- | fendants had nct been negligent.

It was pointed out that minimum recommenda- ! | tlons for these two schools had been | made by the Bureau of the Budget. Action also was taken commending President Roosevelt for his “prompt, ' wise and vigorous handling of the bank- | ing crisis” &nd expressing appreciation | | also to Senator Arthur Capper, former chairman of the Scnate District Com- mittee, for his efficient helpfulness to the people of the District. Both resolu- tions were offered by Edwin 8. Hege. | ‘The assoclation also opposed the ap- pointment of retired military officers in selecting civilian members of the Board of District Commissioners in the future. Having taken the position that civilian Commissioners should be chosen in preference to either Army, Navy or Marine officers, even though the latter | might qualify by length of residence in | the District, the association nevertheless | refused to indorse any candidate for any appointment to the board. Mr. | Hege reported on the action taken by | the Zoning Commission yesterday in! denying the petition to rezone for com- mercial purposes the ve2st side of Con- necticut avenue - from Northampton street to within a short distance of Chevy Chase Circle. No public need was shown for the proposed change, he said, and the petition having been denied, the question can not come up again for two years. An amendment to the constitution was approved by which two additional i standing committees were created. One of these will be known as the Maryland Cemmittee, its purpose being to co- | operate chiefly with utility matters. The other will be known as the Gardening Committee. Dr. B. Y. Morrison of the Department of Agriculture gave an {llustrated lecture on gardens and plants. The president of the assoclation, George E. Strong, presided at the meeting, which was held in the auditorium of the E. V. Brown School in Chevy Chese. . .
