FOR WAR PURPOSES.

I'm the map OF the world speck about the size Of
~ dime called Greece It's lovely little country
the whole; it has contributed some mighty fine sons to
Delaware; but politicaly-wen, you had better paint
that speck black.
They who rule Greece fixing up the government
finances for another fiscal year.
The expenditures they figure them will be something
like three hundred and ten millions OF dollars for the
twelve months, which about one-hird the total ex
pendures Of the big United States Government before the
war
The said Greek rulers expect TO be able TO raise much
less than hundred millions by taxation
Consequently they intend to borrow the remaining two
hundred and twenty-five millions thereabouts.
Why borrow? Why not bring the expenditures down
to the sum they can raise by taxation9
Oh because that would spoil the military plans Of
the aforesaid rulers
They propose that two-thrds OF the expenditures
two hundred Millions shall be spent the Greek
army and navyl
1t is than vexatous. The world went through
war that to put end TO all in this world and
here a little speck OF nation borrowing tons OF money
TO keep up a big army and navy.
The Greek plans bode good for the Balkans, the
cockpit Of Europe.
II Greece doing this thing is Serbian Jugo-Sava,
so Rumana and Bulgaria And pretty here'l
