Of solving the crop surplus problem.
1t has the endorsement of Vice Presi-

lie JUMPED INTO THE RIVER.
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE.
Copyright, 1928)

At this time of year Uncle Sam
needs money. and finance is amazed
that he should be able to get along
with as little as two hundred million
dollars.
That amount Mr.. Mellon will bor-
row, at only per cent interest. Many
will wonder why Uncle Sam must eor-
row. when he might make money as
good as gold, pay no interest and call
in the money, when ready to pay.
There is a reason, one Of the mys-
teries of finance.
Since the people must borrow, they
are fortunate to have Mr.. Mellon as
secretary Of the treasury. He under
stands finance and financiers, and
knows what Uncle Sans signature is
worth.
This country needs above all bust
ness management. in these times, and
if President Coolidge should decide
not to run in 1928 Mr.. Mellon would
be the man for the job, il me would
take it. To clear away our billions
of national debt. without relying too
much on Europc's payments, is . big
task.
