answer is positively amusing, and ii re
calls 10 me the soliloquy OF the man who
drew a $4,000 prize In a lottery a few year;
ago, when the habit was 10 deduct Il
per cent before paying the amount
HaW lucky Il Eas, he says, thar | did not
draw $4,000. IL would have ruined me to
pay the premium. Laughter Fairehild
does not frankly and msnfHliy confront
the issue. lie does not state 10 the people
how the banks could afford to buy govern
meut bonds when the government itself
could nos afford il. II il was an adyan

was il not still more advantageous for the
government to do 10? fCheers / pres.
