ed $65O,OOO,OOO deficit.
NOW THE MONEY is HERE
1. There is a surplus Of S313,O0O,-

fiscal year ending June 80, 1924, is
$500, 100000.
3. Great Britain is paying her
debt to America at the rate of
$16O,O0O,OOO a year.
Andrew W. Mellon, Secret airy of
the Treasury. has stated that taxes
can not be reduced if the adjusted
compensation bill is passed. Many
newspapers have echoed this false
sentiment. The result is that the
public mind has been mislead. These
are the fundamental mathematics of
the situation. Mr. Mellon has shown
how economies of 1928, 100000 in the
cost of government may be affected.
The cost of compensation in the first
three years will not average more
than S81,O00,000 a year. These fig
ures were supplied to the Finance
Committee of the Senate by actuaries
OF the Treasury Department. Adj
JIsted compensation is a just debt
and 1T has no bearing on other obi

Mr.. Melons own figures it is clear

WHY COMPENSATION is A JUST
DEBT

The base of the enlisted man in the
military service in the World War
was $50 a month. From this, in the
majority of cases, was deducted SIS
Tor allotment to dependents and $3.50
Tor insurance, leaving a balance of
$500 OF actual monthly remuneration
Tor the most hazardous work on earth.
Out of this small sum more than 80
per cent of the men in uniform bought
Liberty Bonds on the instalment plan.
At the same time, ordinary UnsltilIed
workers were drawing from SIS to $40
a day; skilled workers drew from 81
10 9z5 a day. The soldier had to paw
