FACE the Truth.

There are times when we should be
thankful for the frankness that stings.
We do not know ourselves any too
well. If others lend us their eyes for
a little, the revelation may be start

of real service to US. Let US be brave
enough to face the truth about our
selves fearlessly. The friend who is

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
Who Spends Our Money?

washington, Nov. 2O.-(Spccial cor.
response)-New York and London
Wall Street and Lombard street-ars
the most free and workable market
for securities in the world; and ,ho,,
are apparently as sensitive ms tboy
are free. Yet there has been no such
agitation in London as New Yorl, -
seen as a result of the Russian ebans
and the Italian retreat. In ssnsar,o,,aa
there must be som2 local m. don1ol.;l
reason WHY Wall Street values decline
when Lombard street values ere sps-
tdined' London observers find this
reason in the influence of our pro-
gram Of war taxation upon the &C.
curities markct-and this not so much
because Of what VIC have done in wnr
finance as because Of what it is feared
we may do. One London writer of
consequence bluHtly cables to a New
York newspaper that our tax plans
require simplifying, both to avoid ir
fitation and to avert real disturbance
Of business plans" American fnan-
cial authorities have said the same
thing, but TO no ageai,ii. so 50 long as the
Kitchins and the Ovcrmans maintain
control pf the legislation through
which money Is TO be raised, and 50
long as bond issues arc mado use of
to advertise individuals connected with
the administration rather than to get
money along the lines Of least re-
sistance, there can be nothing but ap-
prehenslon IN the world Of finance.
Industries cannot plan for necessary
extensions, their output must pclforcc
suffer restriction, their securities
must shrink IN selling price. There
is, however, some promise of relief,
Mr. McAdoo announces that there will
be no movement for a third Liberty
Loan until after the first month Of
the new year. Mr.. Vandcrslip Is rar-
fecting his plans for q widespread dis
tribution Of Treasury bills. There is
already talk Of a reformation of the
injustices, the imperfcetions and the
'Jokers' In the revenue bill. American
business can be stabilized for the long
hard pull Of the war which Is before
us. That something more can be sup
piled most easily by demonstrated
determination on the part Of the peo-
pie TO demand a closer sense of re-
sponsibility on the part Of those who
are spending all this money which has
been and is to be raised.

praise him to the skies, with some

Billy cares less than the proverb-

THE streets are full of curbstone
