PATRIOTS AND THEIR MONEY
Treasury and Federal Reserve System Have Problems
Difficult Enough Without Confronting

balance budget. Italy is taking steps
which may lead TO larger stability.
Most readers are familiar with the
financial load that this country has car
ried. In one short session OF congress
there was authorized an expenditure OF
$!l.QGu.O 60,U00. Wo have had to change
our business from II $1,000, 600. 900 bust
ness to moro than S2O.0UO,UOO,OOO busi-
ness
Since the beginning OF the war the
people Of this nation have expended
s3S.uU.OOO.0O0, or moro than SlO,O00,0OO'-
900 more than they had expended since
the constitution was adopted.
We had debt of about $4,000 OO.-
600. with interest charge which perhaps
will approximate our former national
budget. But the government has stood
the strain without the suspension or
specie payments or any disorder in It's
financial system.
This, of course. testlflcs not only to
the inherent strength or the nation but
! also to the intelligent and effective CO.
operation Of the bankers and business
men of the banking machinery, includ-
ing the federal reserve system.
Those who are indulgins in criticism
OF this system for partisan purposes
render great dls-service to the nation.
So far as VIC are aware, there Is no
politics in tho federal reserve system.
The only way you can get any politics
associated with II Is through the I'M
intelligent and partisan conduct OF agi-
tators on the outside.
1t Is not difficult to arouse suspicion
among the people about banks and bank
ing and we do not think there Is any
need of effort on the part OF patriotic
citizens in that direction. The truth or
the matter Is that there are d good many
people In this nation, as in others, who
violate a maxim that we want TO com
mend to everybody. 1t Is one Of Mark
Twains. 1t says. "Never get more out
Of an experience than there Is in it,
The federal reserve system and the
treasury have sufficiently difficult pro-
blcms confronting them without the in
terforcnce OF partisans. or without I'M
Intelligent opposition. They still need
the patriotic and effective cooperation
Of the people and particularly OF the
bankers and the business men.
