SUGGESTS STUDYING NEWSPAPERS Professor Edgar Dale, of Ohio State cmeeneneenenveeenenG 10.00 i 09 hhpresent, | | | } } THE WORLD'S BEST “BUY” K. N. Dahle had a very comprehensive letter in The Citizen about the buying of War Bonds, but there were a couple of points he overlooked. He was right in won- dering if those editors and radio commen- tators who write and _ blare interminably about 5uying bonds, are themselves adher- ing to the advice they so freely give. The answer is yes and no. At least we know some | editors who are “sticking away” their ex- | cess earnings in bonds;possibly other edi- “25 tors are buying few bonds and still others | | are not buying any at all. Some Americans are like super-pa- | triots—that ‘type that will denounce you if | you don’t stand up when the national an- | them i: played, or if you fail to salute the j flag when the occasion calls for a salute, | but wren a showdown comes that type is of little use to the country. The man who smiles the most is not necessarily the be-t | natured man; neither is the man who wears his patriotism on his sleeve the best ci of the United States. But Mr. Dahle or anybody else, when | he buys United States bonds, need not en- tertain any qualms about their eventual | payment, And here we come to one thing ; that Mr. Dahle overlooked: at the begin- ning of the first World War the first issue of Liberty Bonds bore three percent, and toward the end of the war the interest went Mp to four and one-quarter per cent. At if we take into consideration the short term certificates, some of them be ing interest at only one-half of one per cen that barks buy, the interest rate the gove ment ‘+ paying on bonds issued during th war is only slightly mere than two percent. Let us assume now that the country’s indebtedness reaches $300,000,000,000. Two per cent on that amount is only $6,- 000,000,000 a year. But let us say that the interest, at the end of the war, averages two and one-half per cent. The yearly payment would be only $7,500,000,000, and if the in- terest went up to three on an average by | the time the war is over, the amount of in- j | | | | says that his War Bond i | paid t} terest would be $9,000,000,000. You reeall, Mr. Dahle, how Andrew Mellon cut down the country’s debi after the first World War, despite the fact that none of the countries, with the exception of Finiand, to which it had loaned billions, they had promised to pay. And so, when normal! times come again, it is fair to conclude t hat the government will systematically cut its debt as it has done after every other war in which it oir debts as down has participated Mr. Dahle is not exactly right when he as good as the dollar in your pocket, because the bond is better than the dollar, for ene draws inter Viewed in anoth- est and the other doesn't er light. that is, the security behind the bond, he is altogether right, for, should the ; bond become valueless, the dollar would | be valucless also. The dollar University, suggests that newspapers and | periodicals offer wide opportunity for educational development, but says that schoole and colleges are neglecting them as teaching material The professor has something, no Qoult, and newspaper editors will prompi- ly pathim on the back.
