KNOCKING OFF THE DEBT

In the fiscal year Just ended the
Government reduced its war debt by
$43l ,947 ,243, considerably more than a
million dollars per day. As original
ly issued, the four Liberty Loans and
the Victory Notes reached a total
OF $2l ,432,926,000. OF that amount
there had been retired up to June 80,
1921, $2,283, $50, $50, leaving a balance
of $40, $3.50 $50. The tender of bonds
in payment of estate and inheritance
taxes is responsible for much of that
reduction. The amount of bonds re-
tired last year is almost $~I5ODOO,OO
in excess of the annual sinking fund
appropriations made by Congress,
and if the rate is maintained the en-
tire war debt will be wiped out in
about AZ years, Long before that
,irlc, however, we may expect big
redlctions of the European debt Of
some ST. y000,000,OO0 to the United
States. As those payments are re-
ce;ved from abroad, they will be ap-
Piled to our own debt, and its even
tual complete liquidation will be eX-
edited to that extent. Secretary
Mellon is now engaged on a plan for
ref nding over a period OF three 70
five years the Victory Notes when
they mature in 1923, That will ma
terially ease the burden OF payments.

was in the minds of congress when
the budget bill was passed that the
way was being paved for substantial
economics for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1923, and the president was
directed to prepare the 1928 budget
for submission to congress at the oD-
ening OF the regular session next Dec
rmbci. Mr.. Harding Will attend &c
that of course, but he is going fur

Dawes, is preparing a budget for the
fiscal year that began on July !, 1921.

that year have already been passed

ARMY

The reduction Of the Army to $780,
eco men, as dccreed by Congress, not
only affects a saving in pay and
subsistence but permits the abandon
mcnt of a number of environments
that have been very expensive to
maintain. Secretary Of wal Weeks
nounc that seven of the big war
camps are to be abandoned. and
plans are about completed for trans
ferring the men now stationed at
those points to the permanent sta
tions. Skeleton regiments will be
merged for the time being with 9th
ers, but it will be possible to ex-
pand them promptly 10 effective
strength whenever Congress may
authorize a larger army. There have
already been sufficient voluntary ap-
plications for discharge to reduce the
total strength of the army to $780,
900 by August |. several weeks be-
fore the time estimated when the
army bill was passed.
