Uncle Sam's Finances

The deficit in the federal budget for the present fiscal year is now estimated at about S800,000.000. It may be good deal larger next year. Worriers in public and private life want to know what to do about it. The immediate problem is simple. There seems only one thing to do = borrow money. Fortunately there is plenty of money available in the country, at the lowest interest rates for many years. Short term notes. or bond issues if necessary will tide the treasury over until private business and public income improve.
 There is considerable talk about increasing federal taxes for next year, and thus solving the problem for the year ending June 90. 1o32. This is remedy not to be applied unless it is absolutely necessary. In time of such general hardship. with money borrow
 able in almost any quantity at 2 to per cent. it looks like better business and more merciful procedure for Uncle Sam to go into debt little, as the rest of us have nearly all had to do Squeezing taxpayers harder just now might hold back business recovery and do more harm than good When times improve, we can start cutting down the national debt again.

Finland is in the throes of as great revolt against prohibition as is this nation. It will be interesting to see what effect the petition. signed by 100000 women, asking repeal of the Finnish prohibition law, has upon the government. Prohibtionists of that country are preparing to combat the drive by trying to have many of the signers repudiate their action. However, tbat won't do much good The harm is already done. If 100000 Finnish women. including those outstanding in Fin nish political and social eire:es. regard prohi- bition as failure how many more than that hold the same view in this nation of ours? And how many would reeeho the sentiment of these 100000 women who declare that We feel ourselves powerless while prohibition, with its destructive moral consequences, exists, in- stead of sensible law for controlling eonsump- ton of alcohol under which it would be possible to begin truly effective temperance work The petition further states that pro- hibition in Finland has increased the amount of smuggling murder. and drunkenness among women and children. much of which was un- known before prohibition was enforced. Fa- natics and over 100000 boot1eggers are re- ported to support prohibition. Don't we know it.

Public Doctors

Saskatchewan has new solution for the country doctor problem. Rural communities are treating medical care as public service and paying for it out of public funds. Twenty communities now employ doctors on full time. and l2 others pay l7 physicians on part time. The public doctor is available to every family. In recent years many communities have been left helpless because doctors. unable to make living. would not remain there. The aver- age farmer could not pay the average doctors bill.
 No blame has attached to the doctors: they want to live. But SO do the sick people. And epidemics must be avoided. The new arrange ment seems better for both sides. Physicians are assured of an income which. though small. is steady and dependable; and the people. re- gardless of their financial status, are assured of medical attention. Soeialistic? Perhaps But where human health and life are concerned. we don't argue so much about economic theo- ries. Rural American communities may yet adopt this Canadian idea.

NEA Service Writer

Washington - Stimulated by the scarcity of jobs and supported by in- creasing appropriations, the Depart ment of Labor is making steadily larger inroads on about 100000 H. legally entered aliens in this coun- try who are thought to be deportable.
 The drive will continue as long as the increased forces of the immigra- ton service can find aliens whose presence here is not protected by the law, according to Assistant Secretary of Labor w. w. Husband, a special ist in immigration.
 About 18,500 aliens will have been expelled when this fiscal year ends with June, Husband estimates. There were 16,631 deportations in 1850 and nearly 13,000 in 1929.
 Plan Drive on Gangsters
 Special attention is being given to gangsters and Communists, but no spectacular progress is reported in either effort because only small proportions of these groups appear to be deportable.
 Most of the deportees are picked up and sent away because they en- tered the country illegally or because they came for stipulated periods and overstayed.
 Just to give an idea of what type of people are being expelled, among last years crop were about 5000 who were here without proper yisas, 1000 who stayed longer than permitted. 2,700 who were over 16 and unable to read, 1,700 criminals, 700 persons held to be immoral because of con- nection with the business of prosti- tuition, $50 who had entered after I,iv vt nd ], 900 who had become public charges through mental or physical causes and 800 who were likely to become public charges.
 50 Per Cent Are Mexicans About half the deportees are Mexicans and some 1,250 of them were deported last year as criminal or immoral. In the latter group were 241 English, 156 French, 133 Italians and 125 Irish. About $500 of the less than 17,000 total of de- ported aliens were sent to Mexico, 4,50O to Europe and 2.600 to Can ada. Husband estimates the average cost of a deportation - including allowance for personnel salaries at about $100. The increase in de- portations for the last two years ne says, IIldy DC elICiADobSA " NSPS. cially intensive work of the immi- grafton service with a force made larger by increased appropriations from congress.

The bulk of hte deportees should not be classed as undesirable. aliens. Husband says. Many or them probably would make desir- able citizens. They are deported because they are here in violation of the law.

Women Lose Again

Once more the legislature has defeated that hardy perennial. the women's jury service bill. For quite some years now certain group Of Connecticut women have managed to have measure insuring them of equal rights with men in regard to jury service and each year gallant male legislators have voted not to per- init the fair sex to be tainted by association with the jury box and jury room. A woman legislator said that the men need not be so courteous this year. but evidently they didn't take her at her word, for the house voted down the bill and the senate is expected to follow suit.
 A good many states have women jurors now More states will probably follow example, Connecticut included. House Leader Johnson intimated as much in leading the opposition. But it has not yet been actually demonstrated in Connecticut that all the women are clamor- ing for the right to serve on juries. In fact thesnumber of women who seek this franchise are small minority of the female population of the state. Why grant the right of jury service to this small group and antagonize good many women who have no hankering for such work and who would probably shirk it?
 "A good many women packers of jury service liken it to suffrage. There were plenty opposed to granting women the right to vote, but now that they have it there is little complaint. The same holds good for women in public office. However. the analogy ends there. Holding public office and casting votes can't be com- pared to jury service. We might point out that it is often difficult today to draw up a male jury. A good many of us shirk this civic duty as often as we can. There are even those among us who predict the day when there will be no juries. That seems far distant. but we believe that it may become increasingly diff cult to secure jurymen if panels are as easily exhausted as they are today.
 At first it might be novelty for some women to serve on jury. but it would soon become something to be avoided. We don't claim that this will be universal. We believe that there will be large number of women who will take the right to serve on juries quite seriously and will conduct themselves as credit ably as any man. Nor do we think that Con- seeticut should throw any obstacles in the path sf jury service for women. But until there is a yociferous demand from the women we see 70 need for action. Jury service may give
