remember at least that Austria did
what she considered her duty to her

the war. If we are helped we will be
able to help ourselves. Our people
are farmers and men of the industrial

From the ANALYST

The year 1914 closed upon the Unit
I'd States modest nation. Our Nat
lonal debt was less than the debt of
our largest city and We owed to the
Old World an annual bill of approx
imately 500 millions in the shape of
Interest on securities held abroad, on
freight charges on foreign bottoms,
and remittances of one kind or an
other. Today we owe some seventeen
billions, but it is to ourselves. and
nearly every nation of the civilized
world has due to us balances that
will take generation to settle.
The situation is like the story told
by one Of New York's leading bankers

ever that nearly all of the cost has
gone across the counter OF American
producers. Nearly 90 billions have
been raised by bonds or certificates, OF
which more than 10 billions in short
time paper have been redeemed and
been paid. The net amount raised by
loans has, therefore, been Is billions,
while taxes and customs revenues pro-

WHEATLESS BASIS

The United States will be on a virtual
wheatIess basis within the next thirty
days by voluntary action. This was in
dicated today by food administration
officials, who are hopeful Of a hundred
per cent response to the appeal made to
all members Of fraternal organizations to
abstain from wheat and wheat products
for the next sixty days. The appeal.
similar to one made through the churches
last Sunday. has already produced a
number OF pledges.
Herbert Hoover's appeal to fraternal
organizations is the result OF startling
figures that show approximately one
third Of the wheat normally consumed is
available for the next two months.
Macksburg, Iowa, through Grand
River Lodge No. 4O6. 1. o. o. F., is the
first TO respond to the food administra-
tion appeal. 1t pledges all membern 20
abstain from the use OF wheat until Sep

gestion was not formally acted upon. it
