Increases Essential.

Since the Senate failed to ratify
the action of the Committee on Ap-
preparations in striking out the S and
10 per cent increases for the en-
ployes included in the legislative,
executive and judicial bill, and has
adopted a compromise amendment
offered by Senator Smoot, it Is ap-
parent that the majority of members
of Congress are convinced that sal
airy increases are essential if the av-
erage government employe in the
lower scale is going to be able to
meet the existing cost of living.
Senator Weeks urged that the need
Of the increases was immediate and
tried to have the Senate make the
higher wages effective at once. A
parliamentary objection defeated his
purpose.
1t would seem that the fair thing
for the Senate conferees to do would
be to accept the House provision of
5 and 10 per cent horizontal advances.
The section was written into the
bill after the most careful consider
alton by the House Appropriations
Committee. Nobody in the entire
Congress is more jealous for econo-
my than Representative Fitzgerald,
of New York, chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee,
and he assented to the terms of sec
ton 2 in the legislative, executive and
judicial bill, and tacitly agreed that if
passed it should be accepted as the
standard for the other supply bills
carrying wage appropriations.
The Senate, after due consideration,
has decreed that the policy of econo-
my favored by the majority party
shall not apply to the pay rolls. Since
the House provision was stricken out
by the Senate in conformity with 4
belief that the action of the Demo-
cratic caucus should be applied to the
Legislative bill, it would seem like
mere justice for the Senate con-
ferees to assent to the 5 and 10 per
cent increases and recede from the
Smoot amendment

How War Debts Have Saved
England.

Once upon a time-and this is his
tory. not a fairy story-Great Britain
had war. At the end of it she had
a debt of 100000. When this wa.
discovered everybody said that the
country was ruined. When the nexi
war came along. it left England about
81 100000 in debt. Everybody said
now surely the country was ruined,
How could it ever recoyera Instead,
the country was more prosperous than
ever.
Today England again has growing
war debt; again there is the croaker
who says the country is ruined. His
tory. of course, refutes such belief
and one of the most interesting chap
ters of Macaulay might have been
written about the situation in 1917; il
is just as true now as it was 200 years
ago. Maeaulay says:
AT every stage IN the growth Of
that debt the nation has set up the
same cry Of anguish and despair. Al
every stage in the growth of that debt
ii has been seriously asserted by wise
men that bankruptcy and ruin were al
hand. By the Peace of Uuech,
the nation owed about $50, ,000, 600
and that debt was considered as an
incumbrance which would cripple the
body polite. Nevertheless trade flour
ished; wealth increased; the nation
became richer and richer. The
debt rose to fS0,000.000. Pamph-
leteers, historians and orators pro-
nounced that now our case was des-
perate. Soon war broke forth
again. the debt swelled to fl40,000.-
600. As soon as the first intoxica-
ton of victory was over men of busi-
ness almost UNANIMOUSLY pronounced
that the fatal day had now really
arrived"
Then the war-long drawn out
with the American colonies increased
England's debt. Macaulay continues
his astonishing story:
That war left US with an addi-
ional Gl0O,OOO.000 of debt. and
without the colonies whose help had
been represented as indispensable.
Again England was given over; and
again the strange patient persisted in
becoming stronger and more bloom
ing in spite of all the dagnostics and
prognostics of state physicians. As
she had been visibly more prosperous
with a debt of Sl40,000,000 than
with a debt of G50,0O0.000. so she
was visibly more prosperous with a
debt of f240,000.000 than with deb,
of fl4o,OOO.O0O."
Then Macaulay proceeds to cite the
staggering cost of the wars growing
out of the French Revolution. The
cry of despair was raised again. but
the poor bankrupt proved not only
able to meet all obligations, but grew
richer and richer so fast that the
growth could almost be discerned with
the naked eye" Macaulay, before
leaving this fascinating subject, HIM
self makes a prophecy:
"A long experience justihes US In
believing that England may, in the
twentieth century. be better able to
bear a debt of 81 .600.000,0Oo than
she is at the present time to bear her
present load"
Why should England or anybody
else worry about the present war
