gress has appropriated the money for
ii to spend, that they fall well within
those appropriations, and il such saw
ings can be applied to purchases and
retirement of bonds on top of the
sinking fund and other retirements,
c sizable hole can very soon be dug
in the public debt mass.
This the Harding Administration
very clearly is aiming to do. 1t is
true that the immediate outlook is
rot for surplus out OF Treasury
receipts; on the contrary, ii is for
4 slight deficiency. But old fash
ioned saving always on the job of
1amming down expenses, as the Ad-
ministration is doing, can take care
Of the prospective deficiency and have
something left over besides.
II it does, however. is the busi-
nesslike Administration going to
be permitted to put all those surplus
savings, whether on armament or
whatever it be, into reduction OF the
principal OF the debt, or is Congress
going to start new and heavy spend
ings somewhere else? If Congress
piles more and more upon the gigan-
tic spending totals, whether four
billions for bonus distribution OF
half as much or quarter as much
fer anything whatever, the country
cannot dig its way out; it will stay
buried under its mountains OF debt
for years and generations to come.

Paying Interest Not Good Enough.

This country is now raising and
paying on account of its national
debt we'll above billion and three
hundred millions OF dollars a year.
But from the financial reports which
have been submitted to Congress it
is evident that even such slathers of
money poured annually into what is
technically called the debt service
cannot substantially tighten the pub
lies terrific carrying charges on that
debt. The reason is that the great
bulk of that more than a billion and
three hundred millions OF dollars a
year is used and has to be used in
such ways that it does not make a
dent in the colossal debt itself.
That billion and three hundred
millions must go out this fiscal year
as follows: For interest, S975,00O,-
900; sinking fund. $272,OoO, 900; pur-
cllases, redemption and retirements
from special tax and other receipts.
about S115, 100000, of which only
about $50, 900 900 is expected to come
in from foreign debt repayments.
1t chiefly goes, therefore, toward pay
ing interest, which does not get a
ration, a business or an individual
anywhere.
Merely paying interest on their
national debt never has been good
enough for the American people.
They always have wanted TO dig
their way out of the debt ITSELF and
they always have dug their way out.
Just to go on paying interest now
and nothing much more when there
is q mass OF some twenty-three bill
ions OF debt on top of them will
leave dead weight drag on this
country such as it never before has
known or tolerated.
II the debt service payments of our
own people are kept within $1,000
600, 900 year they make an average
draft of more than $50 year or S. a
month on every family in the United
States. What this vast charge means
10 them may be judged by the fact
that the average head OF every Amer.
lean family in the United States does
not feel It easy or even possible to
carry S65 year life insurance
premiums for the benefit OF his
dependents.
Sinking fund and other reductions
OF some s37O,0OO,O0O a year OH a
twenty-three billion dollar debt are

tions. When at the end of the year
1870, 100000 has thus been clipped OF
the whole debt the interest saved at
four and q quarter per cent. is less
than St6,O00,00 year. AT per

China at the Conference.


Not once or twice but many times
this country has gone out of its way.
far out of it's way, in behalf of the
interests of China. America is still
the stanch friend Of China. China
is at the conference because of the
insistence of America. America de-
sires for China, and is diligent il.
seeking for China, the best and the
most that can be achieved for her.
But now, as for a long time, there
are realities which must be faced by
China, by America and by the world
in working out the problem of China.
China wants control Of her own
transportation lines. She should
have it when and where it is posi-
bic. She wants an end OF exterri-
torial jurisdiction. Everybody hopes
she will get it. She wants no inter
rational financial control. That were
scarcely possible without her con-
sent and voluntary cooperation. All
the world as well as China herself
wants to see her borders replaced
where they belong and where they
will no longer offer temptation to
swashbuckling imperialism.
But who is going to achieve this
emancipation for China? She ad-
mits, and her history shows, she cam
rot do it for herself. No one Power,
no two Powers and no segregated
groups Of opposing Powers can stril,s
from her hands at one stroke the
ties that bind her politically and
economically.
China cannot control her transpor-
tation lines unless she finds way to
build them for herself. She cannot
build them for herself unless she has
the aid of outside capital, and this
she cannot get while there is danger
that the capital might not be repaid
or that the railroad might pass into
control of some foreign Power.
China cannot abolish exterritorial
jurisdiction until she has courts of
her own capable of trying cases
which involve foreign nationals. She
cannot, to any good purpose, set up
those courts until an agreement has
been reached among the nations for
merly enjoying exterritorial rights
that they will abide by the decisions
OF the new tribunals.
China wants no international finan-
cial control; she can escape it only
by throwing of the old Indifference
as to how, by whom and for what
purpose money shall be lent to her.
She has been ananced in geographi-
cal sections until there is neither
head nor tail to her fiscal system.
II conference in foreign land
were to discuss what was to be done
about American courts, American
railways and American finance we
should Of course regard it as insult
fera,le, even If we were invited to
send delegates. But in China's case
no issue of propriety can be raised.
She is, as she should be, represented
at the Washington conference be-
cause the United States demanded
that she should be represented there.
China has more to say in this dis
cussion than she has ever had to
say in the private negotiations and
international intrigues concerning
her in the past.
All this will be considered by
China and by the world as the con-
ference tries to work out the solution
of her problems.

Ireland and the Treaty.

II the Irish Parliament should not
ratify the treaty between Great Brit
ain and Ireland at its meeting next
Wednesday it should leave the final
decision on this epochal document to
a plebiscite.
If the Dali Eireann will not choose
the very real Irish Free State in pref
erence to continuing the strife for
the visionary or impossible ideal, then
the Irish people should have the op
portunity to accept or refuse the
treaty.
If the Dali Eireann will not accept
the craftsmanship. sentiment and ac-
tion of COLLINS, GRIFFITH, DUGGAN
and DUFFY rather than De VALERA,
then Ireland should go to the polls
and say its say.

SEE NO CUT IN PRICE OF COAL
UNTIL LATE SUMMER

NEWARK, Feb. 3-That the re-
tail price of anthracite coal has
reached it's peak, and that no de-
crease could be looked for until the
late summer, was the assertion OF
Ellery b. Gordon, secretary-manager
of the National Retail Coal Mer-
chants Association at a dinner of
the New Jersey Retail Coal Dealers
Association in Schary's Auditorium
last night.
The dinner. at which Ernest c.
sStrempel was POSTMASTER. was at
tended by 225 members of the State
Retail Coal Dealers Association.
Among the guests were County
Prosecutor j. Henry Harrison. Har-
ry C. Hines, director of the Board of
Freeholders. and r. C. Jenkinson,
former state fuel administrator. all
of whom spoke
The conditions with which the
coal operators are confronted are
held responsible for the high price
of COAL" Mr.. Gordon said.
"The enormous demand for an
thracite is also responsible for the
price of that grade. the demand be-
ing much greater than the supply.
Anthracite will not decline until the
public learns to 81 a different grade
of coal. Anthracite is not a neces-
sity. as there are various grades
which can be used in its place which
will give practically the same results
at a price much smaller than the
anthracite quality.%
