HORSE SENSE As.a sedative to numb the fear of pub- lie debt; the people: ha¥e been told that no harm could result from the débt because the people merely owed themselves. : Harold G. Moulton, head of the Brook- ” ings Institution, has knocked the “owe it to yourself” theory into a cocked hat in a book- let entitled, “‘The New Philosophy of Public ) Debt.” He shows that those who pay taxes _|.to support the debt are not ‘identical with those who receive the interest on the debt |) or the government bounties which the debt . | makes possible. cy While the people may owe the public | debt to themselves, the man who is taxed to I pay intérest on the debt will soon find that the tax collector will take his shirt if he does “not pay~his taxes, to pay interest on a debt which he “owes himself.” Mr.-Moulton blasts the idea that public debt cah go on growing forever without do- ing any harm. His remarks shoot close to financial and economic advisors of the gov- ernment; and to the National Resources Planning Board. He makes it brutally clear that deficit spending and boundless public debt lead either to totalitarianism or to debt repudia- tion, and that without “a stable system of public finance . . ..in the United States, and also in other countries, the foundation stone for international reconstruction will rest on quicksand.” His“ analysis is just plain horse sense which atmost everybody understood until they were hypnotized with the suggestion that prosperity could be brought about by priming the pump: continuously with pub- lic funds. He does-not,try to prove that gov- ernment‘debt is bad, butte does ins: that it must be controlled. me The; time will comé wWhén,{in spite/of all the primings, the ptmp will Suck*air if the water supply is exhausted. The earnings of the people are the water in the financial | well. Those earnings must come from in- | dividual effort and production which de- pend orf prosperous operating industries and agriculture.’ The pump primers produce no new water. Ratriotic Motto: Whatever the sers vice men need, belongs to them. Not-all of the reduction in pay, when the war-ends, will come to war workers. The peace of the world will be assured when lawyers, editors and preachers agree. The war will be over quicker if we for- get about the 1944 election for about nine months, Watson, no mean strategist, has also opened 4 second front. In Key West Crum- mer threw up his R. E. Crummer refund (nearly-complete) when he failed to use the situation to force a bond dealer license for Crummer Company from the State Se- curities ‘Commission. As he said he would do, Watson has sent a corps of experts to the Island City, acts as though he plans to carry out his promise to carry through the refund .if Crummer wouldn’t.—Fuller’s Florida Letter. pats THE HUMBLE MIND As a rule the greatest minds are those | that respect the opinions of others. Men of | that type are never fanatics; they realize | that every question has two sides, or it would | not be a question, and while they think they | are right, they don’t banish entirely from | their minds that there is a possibility they | may be wrong. Ss The man who thinks he has a superior- y'comptex really has an inferiority com- | plex. The broadminded man, the man who yatudied much and has been a close ob- jiusne of human nature, is humbly aware of how little he knows of the world’s accu- mulated knowledge. No truer adage has ever been written | than “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” It leads its possessor to think that only what he believes is right, and every- thing others believe, if it is contrary with his | belief, is wrong. Unfortunately, that attitude is enter- | tained in the realm of religion more so than } in any other walk of life. We have our Bible, | but it often has been said that a man of any | of the thousands of sects and creeds can | find something in the Bible to bear out his | belief. Make a remark about this or that, and he instantly quotes Scripture to try to | point out that you are wrong. If you are suf- | ficiently familiar with Scripture, you will be able to quote something to prove that you are right. . | From that it may be gathered that the | Scriptures are contradictory, but such is not | the case. The contradiction is caused by the | construction placed on the particular para- | graph, sentence or part of a sentence, by an adherent of a particular faith. As a whole, | the Scriptures teach but one thing, the love | of God and brotherly love. Should we ad- | here to those precepts, and refuse to be | drawn into useless and interminable argu- | ments that would lead one to bélieve that God is concerned in petty differences, we fulfill cur infinite and finite duties at the | same time, regardless of the church of which | we are votaries. In the final analysis, it is | what the heart feels, not what the tongue | says, that determines Christian character | or the lack of it. Lip service of an untrue | heart is of no consequence to God, He knows your heart, and if evil is in it, all | your honeyed lippings can not assuage Him. Our forefathers wisely guaranteed the freedom of religious belief. That gives ev- ery man the privilege to identify himself with any church he wishes, and it gives no | man the privilege to try to cram down an- | other’s throat his concepts of religious teachings; it gives no man the right to pro- selyte among his fellowmen, particularly | after they have requested him not to molest | them, to try to change them from the faith | in which they believe. | What is your religious belief? What- | ever it is, it is your privilege, under God | and under our Constitution, to adhere to it. And you may be sure that the mind that knows much, that is to say, the humble | mind, will not strive to tear you away from your belief. | | A just peace is what Hitler, Hirohito and Mussolini are fighting to avoid. ‘the question is who will control it next year. Eventually, however, it ot not be the Japs. MR. DAVIS AND THE PRESS” Mr. Elmer Davis, director of the Office of War Information, jumped out of the fry- ing pan into the fiye the. other day when he had the audacity ‘to criticize the methods of the Washington sorrespondents. By and largeg there is considerable meat in the remarks of Mr. Davis who said fight on Pennsylvania avenue is bigger news than a war in Europe. The only mis- take that we can suggest is that Mr. Davis overlooked one that the Washington writers think is f important than a dog- fight and that is their own opinions. A reading’ of some columnists will soon reveal be writers have the idea that they have thé-burden of the nation on their backs. The art ie =e is fast van- ishi 3 newspapermen find out that they can make more money by peddling all sorts of critical gossip and printing any kind of sil- ly rumor that they pick up- The newspaper men, we think, go in | for sensational incidents rather than waste their time digging into the merits of a Con- gressional argument or seeking the hidden facts behind some committee hearings. if some Congressman makes @ foolish remark he is sure to get publicity and it must he admitted that some of the controversies re- ported from Washington have existed al- | heretofore.

He shaded his flash with his hand again as he made his way noiselessly te the deor; stepped through. ¥ ' She heard the click of #he latch | when it fell into place behind him. Pushing the drapery away from her, she followed quickly after im. There was no neeti for her to look further. Jerry had will. She managed the opening and closing of the door. Then, safe in the hall, she looked to the right and the left. He was nowhere in sight. Her first impulse was to go di- rectly to his room, demand to see the will and get the whole affair settled tonight. But when she re- membered that it was fairly late even for the future proprietor of the hotel to be visiting a young man’s room, she decided to wail until morning. Thinking he had been unde- tected he would enjoy making the surprise announcement himself. For of course he would make the announcement. No matter what she had said to him about his designs on Terrence House she had never really believed he would be underhanded. He would take what belonged to him but he _wouldn’t rob ‘her. No, in the morning he would show the will’ to all of them and her troubles would be over. She.went to bed confident that tomorrow her grandmother's house would be hers in reality. Se rehearsed the apologies she would make to Jerry, the de- mureness with which she would receive the news that she had won the undeclared war between them. “We'll get Terrence House all t,” she confided to Matilda ies she returned to her room. The bird responded by an affec- tionate peck on her fingers. “It’s going to be ours at last.” But Frid i agi ig Ann wasn’t so sure. e forenoon passed ‘without « oy, coming to her.
