NO LONGER SIMPLE PROBLEM
Matter of Food, In These Days OF
Statistics, Has Become Cues
ton of Calculation.

Once upon a time this problem Of
food was very simple matter. Three
times a day, as rule, the attention
of man was drawn to a hollow feeling
located due east of the lower end Of
the vertebral column. This vacancy
he proceeded to fill with slab of
bread, a chunk of beef, O pot of rice,
etc., favored as a rule with butter,
jam, garlic, ETC., according to race, re-
ligion, climate, age, etc. This settled
the problem till the next call from
the far East.
It pains us to say that this was liv-
ing to eat and not eating to live.' 1t
showed no adjustment Of means to
end. 1t was a system of food that
made no distinction between a long
sh0reman and free-verse poet. 1t
was internal anarchy.
Happily the truth has been realized.
The consumption of food is no longer
destructive but constructive. Man no
longer eats corned beef and cabbage,
but the vitamnes In the beef and the
polyzeugmatics In the cabbage. When
he picks up the bill Of fare he no long,
err says What will most speedily and
cheaply allay the unrest in my far
East?" but he says, "Where can find
the 1880 carbOnuXates that will give
me the right outlook on the League Of
Nations? And he finds it in unpolish-
ed rice. Or he says to himself 81 am
now at work on the fourth act of my
poetic drama; to make it convincing
to Belasco / must absorb 5000 per-
maganazoids daily for the next 30
days" So he shaves the kernels off
the corn and eats the cob. Perhaps
with eoconut butter, for the added col
loidal saxophoniams.

Treasury, Meeting Market,
B01TO1Us at CiuiL Wur Rates
Even Government Not Immune to the Effects of
Detlation Program, Which Places Great Burdens
on Those Assuming New Financial Obligations

This is the golden age for the debtor
to relieve himself Of his burden, but
most unfavorable time for him to
assume fresh financial obligations.
Currency is still inflated. A 1920
dollar is puny compared with a 1900
dollar, or even 1914 dollar, in respect
to purchasing power. But legally a
dollar is still dollar, and this fact
constitutes the debtors opportunity.
Hc can pay of loans arranged in the
days Of dear money-say from 1900 to
1914-in units Of cheap money of
to-day. The dollar originally borrowed
would buy sixteen pounds of sugar
and the dollar returned to-day is
worth only four pounds of sugar The
creditor who is paid off to- day must
suffer the shrinkage.
Where the Borrower Suffers
But in regard to new debts the bor-
rover is the goat. The present policy
of bankers everywhere makes the bur
den he must carry heavier. Central
banks in all countries are resolved to
squeeze the water, or imitation, out Of
currency (and credit, too) and this
worldwide movement precludes the
possibility of easy money. High prices,
which an important school of econo-
mists attribute largely to inflated
money and credit, make the demand
for credit unprecedentedly large and,
in view of the tendency of banks to
debate, the demand for money now
outstrips the supply The immediate
result is high rentals for the use Of
borrowed money. The ultimate result,
if the dehation movement succeeds,
will be dearer money, in place of the
present cheap money. Thus, the pres
day borrower gets currency Of
relatively low purchasing power and
will have to pay off his obligation
probably in money of higher purchas-
ing power--dearer money.
Treasury Not Exempt
No borrower to-day is exempt from
the exactions Of the market place. Even
the United States Treasury, whose
credit is as good as any in the world,
is now forced to pay # rates for its
accommodations In raising s400.o00,-
600 last week the Treasury had to pay
the highest rate since March, 1865.
The Treasury paid 6 per cent last week
on its new issue of certificates of in
debtedness-T J, 1921, which natures
on June Is, 1920.
At the beginning of the present year
the Treasury was able to float its tenn
porary certificates at 4 - per cent and
Az per cent. The latter rate persisted
until after certificates called Z, 1920,
were tioated, early in April. The lack
Of response to this issue brought to a
climax the complaint of lenders that

the Treasury was failing TO pay the
going rate. While the Treasury held
down the rate certificates on a
small scale were changing hands in
the open market at less than para
condition that the Treasury Viewed with
disfavor.
Progressive Money Increases
Money, rates were rising progressive
~, and the best private borrowers were
paying unprecedentedly high rates.
Railroads Of first credit standing were
paying per cent to the public which
bought their new obligations.
In an attempt to meet the market
Il the Treasury paid per cent on Series
r, 1920, which were dated April Is,
ana o72 per cent on Series G, 1920, of
ane me same is date; This latter rate was
also saao paid on Series H, dated May II.
1920, but on the issues dated June IS
lhe treasury, facing still rising
money market, paid 5A per cent and
per cent on its short term paper
Not since Civil War times has the
treasury paid so dearly for accommo-
datlons. Between 1860 and 1861 the
government issues bore 6 per cent
interest," but on July 7, 1861, the Treas
try, try paid ;asns 6; per cent on a lone
agaln Mg as the the Treasury's rate until
March 2, 1867. when it was able to
place temporary loans bearing 2
per cent interest. A five year loan
placed in 1870 carried per cent in
terest, and borrowings for longer
terms in the same year required the
payment of 5, Az, and per cent in
terest respectively. Loans placed in
1878, 1874, and 1875 bore 5 per cent
interest. With the exception of two
loans placed in 1879 and 1894. which
were placed at A per cent, the per
cent rate prevailed until 1898, when
distinctly lower level of rates OH
talned. On one-year borrowings in
June 1898, the rate was 8 per cent
and the same for a ten to twenty wear
loan. This rate continued until 1900.
when long time obligations were float
ed bearing per cent interest, which
was also the rate borne by Panama
Canal bonds issued in 1902. This low
rate continued until 1909, when the
Treasury again paid 3 per cent. In
the first Liberty Loan in 1917, the
government only paid 3la per cent; 4
per cent in the Second Liberty Loan;
"a per cent in the Third and Fourth
and 3a4 and AZ in the Victory Lib
erty Loan.
Has Top Been Reachede
Many observers who usually avoid
the pitfall of prophecy hazard the
guess that the rate the Treasury
is now paying is near the top, par
ticu larly in view of the prejudice OBJ
tanning against rate in excess Of the
standard per cent.
