BIG DEBTS OF STATES
CONTRACTED SINCE
U. S. ENTERED WAR
tRy Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Nearly one
half of the $1,071, 506,9S1 of outstand-
ing state debts were contracted since
this country entered the war and over
third since the beginning Of 1920,
it was revealed today in a survey made
public by The Bank of America.
Since April 6, 1917, there has been
issued a total of $51S,997,414 of the
securities now outstanding of which
$384,S99,997 were put out since Janu-
airy l, 1920. All of the outstanding
bonds of Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Mich
igan, Ohio, South Dakota, Washington,
and West Virginia were issued since
the spring of 1917.
The world war was responsible for
S139, 281,772 of the outstanding indebt-
edness, or Is per cent of the total. This
Of course does not represent the cost
of the war to the states nor even all
the securities issued for war purposes.
Portion of Debt
These bonds represent 28.6 per cent
OF the outstanding debt incurred since
the United States entered the war.
OF this sum the payment of soldiers
bonuses takes up altogether $130,022,
600, or 12.1 per cent of the grand total
debt, and the remaining is the cost OF
other welfare work for veterans and
for war memorials.
The construction of highways and
bridges is by far the leading single
purpose for which the outstanding
debts were incurred, over a third Of
the total having been contracted fol
this purpose. Among the noteworthy
highway systems financed by large is
sues are those of California ($55, 900,
000); New York 100000. 000); Ore
gon 1881, 100000 and Pennsylvania
| $3.50. 000,000)
Waterways and harbor iprovement:
come second in the list of purposes
with total of S213, 1891, 400.
The paternalistic experiments Of the
agricultural states are reflected in the
$45, 1861 total classified as I''agricul
tural aid" representing AZ per cen
of the aggregate.

BORAH URGED TO SEE
EUROPEAN CONDITIONS
(Ry United Pressl

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.-Influen-
tial Englishmen. who are working to
bring about cooperation between the
United States and European nations
for the worlds rehabilitation, have
urged Senator Borah to go to Europe
ito bring home to the masses of the
people the stern truth" about repara-
lions, war debts and disarmament, and
help us to regain sanity"
Members of the British parliament
who have taken the lead in urging
that Borah make this trip, want him
to convey to Europe by means of a
speaking tour, "the real message of
America to the old world"
The invitation to Borah was inspir-
ed by his recent interview given the
United Press, in which Borah declared
it would be utterly useless to raise
the question of cancelling European
debts to the United States so long as
Europe continued existing policies re-
specting reparations and ornaments.
A member of the British house of
commons, writing to an american
friend, urging that Borah lie induced
to make a speaking trip through Eng.
land and certain continental -auntries
said Borah's service ought to "be
| brought home to the Europc IN people
in no uncertain way"

PRISONER AT SIDE OF
SICK SON TO RETURN
To SERVE SENTENCE
fBy associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. edward
F. Doree, prisoner at Leavenworth,
Kas., who is here for the second time
in a year by the grace Of the govern
ment visiting his five-year-old son
"Bucky," whose life hangs in the bal
ance, has virtually despaired of re-
ceiving a pardon at an early date.
For time his friends believed that
he would receive notice of pardon
while in this city, and that it would
not be necessary for him to return TO
the federal penitentiary where he has
served three years of 10-year sent
ence for violation of the espionage act.
Instead of pardon there came
notice last night while he was telling
stories to his invalid son that his leave
of absence had been extended five
days. At the end of that time the
guard who is here with him has been
instructed to return to Leavenworth
with his prisoner. His first leave ex-
pired today.
Meanwhile "Bucky" is said to be i'm
proving. For time it was feared that
his father would not see him alive.
The boy is suffering with heart dis
ease.
