British Debt Settlement.

Washington, D. C.-All the in
debtedness Of foreign govern
ments to this government was
contracted during the World
war. The money loaned foreign
governments by this government
was obtained from proceeds Of
sales of Liberty bonds to Ameri
cans. The faith and pledge of
the United States government to
redeem these bonds in the hands
Of American taxpayers Is based
upon the assumption that foreign
countries will repay the United
States the money loaned them. In
the event this is not done the
holders of Liberty bonds must be
paid by the United States levying
new taxes. In other words, if
Great Britain should fail to pay
this government the four billion
dollars loaned it. Congress would
be compelled to levy tax upon
all taxpayers raising four billion
dollars to meet the Liberty bonds
when due.
Great Britain was the largest
borrower from the United States
government. Her indebtedness
constitutes about 35 per cent of
the total foreign debt owed this
government.
At the time the foreign loans
were made, war interest rates
prevailed. Interest rates have
been greatly reduced, specially in
this country, since the war. This
is illustrated by the fact that the
Federal Reserve Bank discount
rate at one time was y per cent.
It has now been reduced to 4 per
cent ~ less
This is characteristic of finan-
cial conditions during the war
and after it. During the Civil
war and at its close the United
States paid over per cent inter-
est on bonds it issued, but after
Lee surrendered and peace was
re-established the interest rate
very rapidly declined to normal.
Our Liberty bonds are being
refunded gradually at lower
rate of interest. In peace times,
the United States government
never paid more than 8 per cent

Idaho's Timber Wealth.

The state of Idaho owns some
100000 acres of forest land
From this land it has already
sold more than two and half
million dollars worth of timber
the receipts going into perma
nent funds of the schools and in
stitutions of the state. Drtrine
the years 1919 and 1920 alone it
realized 1851, 466 from the sale of
timber. Only about one-third of
the state land has been cut over
in the 80 years over which the
sales have extended. Timber is
now bringing more than double
what it brought few years ago.
Ten thousand acres recently
cruised will, it is estimated, yield
more than a half million dollars.
The land viii remain in state
ownership and under the pres
ent policy of management should
be left in shape to grow another
crop of timber.
THAT it is possible to produce
timber at the rate of four hun
dred feet per acre annually In
North Idaho is shown by figures
recently gathered by the forest
service on the Occur d'Alene
national Forest" said c. X. Nc

forest. The actual scale of this
timber after it was cut showed an
average stand Of 10000 feet per
acre of which As per cent was
white pine, or an average rate
of growth of 400 board feet per
acre annually. This shows what
the forests Of Idaho are capable
of producing, but such yields are
only possible where there are no
