Leitzman argued for return to

In order to save some of
the money, Leitzman recommended
purchase of bus to cut transporta-
ton costs. This bus will be driven
by Leitzman and will carry two

Two of the fastest are Ivan Fuqua,

FINANCING THE NEXT WAR.

If Europe ever gets into another who will she get to pay the bills? The national L o. US over there not very reliable. If it should de- velop that the United States must cancel all most of the money she loaned when military disaster faced the borrowers she ought to make it plain that hereafter all trades must be a cash basis. The No Credit" sign should be hung out. Then where would the money to finance war come from?
 All this suggests that it might be a good thing for the United States to notify the world that she will not and that her banks and citizens shall not finance another between among Nations We certainly would lose nothing by so doing and such a notice might have discouraging effect on those countries that like to fight There peoples that would like nothing better than to mobilize armies and naves if Uncle Sam would furnish the cash with which to pay the bills They seem to take it for granted that if we furnish the funds there will be no need to repay It would not at this time be difficult to convince the American people that good business demands that we keep our soldiers cash and credit out of war.
