1.-THE purpose being to illustrate in
concrete way what ten billion dol
lars means.
THE fact of the matter is that few
people are able to grasp the immen-
sity Of valuation expressed with q
dollar sign, a figure 81" and ten
ciphers. All OF us can recognize a
dollar when 1t looks like 40 cents.
Many of us can remember when q
dollar looked as big as a cart wheel.
Some Of us can visualize a $1,000
and We presume there are a lot of
people who really understand what a
million dollars means.
"But ten billions is beyond the
power Of any human mind to grasp
unless 1t is translated into some con-
crete form with which we are more
familiar and which we can stretch
our tmaginations to comprehend.
Therefore. when some newspapers
translated our foreign loans into
miles Of hard surface highway, they
rendered real public service. for
they helped the people of the United
States to understand exactly what Is
proposed by those visionaries who ad-
vocate the cancellation of European
debts to the United States.
There are other good and useful
things the United States can and will
do. with that ten billions when we get
1t back. In the first place. the United
States owes some 324,000,00O,000
on which It is paying interest. The

j. s. COULD Do
MUCH WITH TEN
BILLION DOLLARS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-what
the ten billion dollar foreign debt
means to the people of the United
States, is set forth by the republican
publicity association, through its
President. Hon. Jonathan Bourne. Jr..
as follows:
"A number of newspapers have
been calling attention. recently, to
some of the uses the United States
could make of the $10.000,000, 900
this country has loaned to European
nations and which eventually. we
hope to have repaid. A number of
those who have commented on this
subject have pointed out that at an
average cost Of $4,000 mile, the
ten billion dollars would construct
100000 miles Of hard surfaced high
way-enough to- give the United
States the best highways In the world.

vising what should be done with the

interest charge goes far to swell the
taxes the American people are call
ed upon to pay each year. A consider
able part Of that ten billions could
be applied to the liquidation OF the
debts owed by the United States, thus
stopping the interest charge.
Moreover, II a considerable part
OF that ten billions were applied to
the payment. OF outstanding Liberty
bonds, those bonds, which are now
worth about So cents on the dollar.
would advance In market value and
perhaps reach par. People who loan
ed their money to the government on
the assurance that the loan would be
safe investment, but who have wit
messed a 15' per cent decline In the
value OF their security, will scarcely
favor a cancellation OF the 100000
100000 debt when II could be ap-
piled to the payment OF the oDliga-
tions the government owes them.
Cancellation OF the 10000, ,000.-
900 debt would be relief to, the peo-
pie OF European nations to that ex-
the. but It would be in effect an ad-
ditional burden upon the American
people to a similar extent. Canceia-
tion OF the debt would postpone the
time when the United States will be
able to pay Its own bonds. would ex-
dend the period during which Amer
lean taxpayers must raise money to
pay interest, and would delay the
time when Liberty bonds will be re-
stored to par.
AS remarked before. II we do not |
use that ten billion dollars to build |
roads. we can find other good and
useful purposes to which It can be
applied"

his curiosity was aroused by noting the
recurrent glow of an electric fiashlight
