j. s. DEBT WILL
BERETIRED IN
80 YEARS
Public indebtedness of 20 Bill
lions to Be Practically
Wiped Out.
By II. X. REYNOLDS,
International News Service.

About the best news the Ameri
can taxpayer has received from
: the Federal Government recently
was the announcement Of Garrar6
B.. Winston, Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury, that In less than
thirty years most Of the public debt
of the United States, now running
well over $22, OOO, OOO, 900, would be
substantially retired.
Winston's announcement tokes or
added significance when it is point
ed out that approximately one-third
Of the money collected by the Gov.
eminent in taxes each year goes to
pay the interest on that big debt.
IL the Treasury's calculations are
correct, and they have been made
under the direction Of Secretary
Mellon himself, the public debt of
this country in 1858 will be very
small in comparison to the present
figures; and the way win be def
nitely opened for a considerable re-
duction in Federal taxation.
Before the world war the public
debt totaled only about $1,000 ,000,.
900. There were some per cent
bonds maturing in 1910, a per
cent loan of 1890, and certain Pan.

ginning of the war, and the peak
was reached in August. 1919, when
the figure was more than SIG, $780,
100000.
The last Treasury statement put
the debt at $22, 100, 100000, consist
ing Of $1,000, 00O, 900 Of pre-war debt,
nearly s$15. ZOO, 000, 900 Of per cent
Liberty Bonds, $3.50, GOT, Zoo Of AZ

Gates maturing in less than a year,
and $3.50, 100000 OF Treasury saw

Debt Cut Down.
Ever since the end of the war
the Treasury Department has been
hard at it in getting the public
debt as low as possible. During
the war the Treasury carried a
cash balance of slips, 000, 900 to
take care OF unexpected large ex-
The Washington times., 1923-12-25

penditures. When peace time op-
erations started this balance was
too large. and it was used to re.
duce the debt. Since then the
debt has been reduced as follows:
1920, $1,185, 000, 600; 1921, S322,.
000, 900; 1922, $1,014,00O, 600: 1928.
$614, 900, 00O-the figures referring to
the Governments fiscal year.
One Of the biggest problems nov
confronting the Treasury is the
wiping off of the $22, 600, 600, O0O
debt. Congress lent hand at the
end of the war by passing the Vic.
tory Loan act, which established a
cumulative sinking fund" calcu
lated to retire the debt-Iess
money received from our foreign
debtors-in about twenty-five years
1t was figured the sinking fund
would retire half of the debt
10000, 900 ,000-and that the for
from the United States during the
war would make up the other half
Creditors ''SlOw Pay"
It was necessary to make a
change in the Governments fund
plans, however, when it became
apparent that it was going to be
hard to get some of the debtor ma
tons to pay, for a while at least.
Thus far the settlement of the
$11 900, 100000 foreign indebtedness
has progressed only to the point of
debt-funding agreement with
Great Britain. Cuba has paid her
debt, and Finland's agreement Is
ready for Congressional approval;
but the latter obligations were so
small that they make no appreci-
able difference in the larger totals.
81. 500. 100000, will be paid during
the next sixty-two years in United
States securities at par.
$50 long, therefore," explains
Secretary Winston, ''as any obliga-
tions of the United States can be
acquired in the market below par
we may expect to receive our own
securities and not cash. This Is an
advantage in expediting payment of
the public debt, because under the
law securities received are can
celed."
This means that Great Britain
can buy a 500 Liberty Bond in
the United States for $97 and turn
1t in to the Treasury Department
for 800 credit on her debt, thus
saving SO. This will amount to
considerable in paying a debt run
ming into hundreds Of millions.
In reducing the public debt the
Treasury also uses any surplus rev.
enues which 1t happens to have at
the end Of a fiscal year.
Plan Explained.
Explaining the plans for wiping
out the debt, Secretary Winston
says:
eliminating the question Of gen.
eral foreign debt payment and not
relying on surplus revenues, which
are uncertain, but based solely on
the sinking fund as at present con-
stituted and the British refunding
scheme as executed, it is believed
that the public debt should be
substantially retired by 1852, which
year happens to be the maturity
date of the last maturing funded
obligations of the United States,
the Treasury AVS. There are
many contingencies which affect
this estimate, but it is safe to as.
sumo that q plan of refunding that
part Of the maturing debt, which
cannot be presently met, to ma.
turity dates within the next thirty
years is a sound policy to be pur.
sued"

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec. 25.
Two ships were speeding on a

fierce as to keep smaller craft from
proceeding to her assistance.
