LEASING MUSCLE SHOALS

If tho Supreme Court doesn't choose to make an inconvenlent de- cision regarding the validity of the Coolidge pocket veto of the late Muscle Shoals bill it IS likely that the Madden bill to lease the works will have comparatively smooth sailing in Congress. This bill. the President informed congressional callers. satis- fes him. If provides for the leasing of the great Shoals property to the American Cyanamid Co. for 50 years. The concern would manufacture fertilizer and dispose of the sur plus power generated.
 The fertilizer interests are 3 unit in declaring that the government should keep it's nose out of private business. If the Madden bill goes through they will have at least a half-victory against government competition, as it will be private concern manufacturing the fertilizer. But the object of leasing the works to the private concern is 10 insure cheap fertilizers to the farmers, and 1t is likely that the American Cyanamid Co. will be able 10 under sell the present fertilizer nabobs quite hand1ly when it gets hold of trust stocks have not been soaring in Wall street. The outlook Is as cheerful ax going to | dentist.

THE EXPANDING POST OFFICE

The astute gentlemen who have been considering means to enlarge the post office have acted wisely Fortunately, we avoided tho dis agreements and contention that has come to Hartford over a somewhat similar matter. The present post ofics in the city, being a thing of beauty, will continue at it's present site, for which all lovers of civic architecture will be grateful. En- largement along South High street. with driveway on Court street, seems logical to citizenry who are laymen in such matters. rather than ex- perts.
 The government is setting good example in foresight. Not content to wait until increasing post office bus mess has swamped available facili- ties before moving to increase the facilities, 1t has looked ahead. The enlargement plated will not bs one to conform to present needs but Is designed to anticipate the city's requirements for years to come. The plan costs money, but the government has way of getting what it needs in this respect; but the money comes from the same pockets as all other tax money, state and municipal.
 If tho municipal school depart. nenh were operated on the same plan there would be no school prob. lem.

FRENCH DEBT PAYMENTS AND PREPARATIONS

The total public debt of France amounts to about 319,5oo, 100000. or $40 per capita. as compared with 1 the American debt of s17,S0o, ,0o0,- 900, or about s150 per capita. The United States is vastly richer than France. The difference in the per capita debt between the two countries therefore is marked. It is the reason why financiers III France are so grouchy; Why Poincare has had his little troubles.
 The new French budget calls for increased revenue. both internal and from external sources, The latter source embodies the increased reparations payments from Germany under the Dawes plan, which have reached their peak and continue at the rate of $257,7oo.Ooo to France yearly until 1887,
 The debt funding agreement be- tween the United States and France is not yet ratified. If it were France would pay $32,5O0. 900 to the United States in 1929; and under the agree ment these payments would gradual ly increase until l942. when they would be 25.0o0,000 annually to 1856, and then shading off to 1887. when they would cease with a pay ment of sl17,674.OOO.
 Meantime French debt payments to Great Britain, while higher in 1929 than to the United States, will so no higher than $60.S31, 900 an- nually from 1881 to 1857; conclud- ing with &ss,1sl,Ooo annually in 1886 and 1887.
 So much for the background. The chief point to consider is that at no time during this long debt paying period will French finances suffer less reparation payments than debt payments.
 The excess of reparation over debt payments to both the United States and England-assuming the former may be paid-will be $lS6,26s,O00 in 1929; and from then on this excess will shave down to $71,667,S62 in 19S7 the final year of reparations.
 All told. tha excess of separations over debt payments from 1929 to 1887 for France will be S4.667,S62.- O00-which represents the net re- turns to France from reparations over and above what she is called upon to pay her two chief creditors according to the debt agreements.
 The average excess of reparations payments to France over debt pay ments to Great Britain and the United States for the full 59-yeal period would be s7s,116,3O5 a year. { The United States government ha. refused to permit separations to in. fluence war debts. For practica purposes, however. this can not be avoided in considering the income and outgo of our war debtors. Re, gardless of how France has ex' pended money in various ways since the armistice. it can scarcely be de nied that her income from repara tions greatly outweigh her outgo tt Great Britain and the United Statel in connection with war debts.

clared that the discovery of the
