Maintenance of good cash premiums for
wheat in all markets is creating an uneasy

wheat in the United States with an increase
in wheat acreage in South America and
probable imports of Canadian wheat COM

DEBTS

The curse of the present day is debt. And it isn't
all war debt, either, Far from it! Says Roger Bah
son, in a public address;
Everybody is in debt. The United States in the
five years since the war, has borrowed more money
than in the five years of the when seemed that
borrowins had reached the limit. The federal gov
ernnent hasn't done it all States counties and muni-
cipates have mortgaged their future, and nobody is
paying up.
This is public debt 1t might be found that the
total volume of private debt is still greater For
Mr. Babson observes, business institutions and indl-
viduals have followed the example of their national,
state and local governments. When families have
not borrowed they have gone deeply into debt to buy
things, which amounts to the thing.
I'VE used to hear of frozen assets in warehouses
and on store Shelves he says provisions that couldn't
be disposed of. The frozen assets the home
and garage-furniture clothing, rugs, phonographs,
automobiles, ETC., bought on time" Everything is
hampered by this load of debt.
What is to be done about it? Ray off indebted
ness, urges Mr. Babson,t instead Of ncurTing more.
Pay cash instead of stretching credit further
That might restrict business little for the time
being There would be business 'healing pains" SO to
speak. But such policy would soon have wonder
