Saying that $1,000. 100000 had been
slashed from the $12,000,OOO,00 debt
at the close of the war, Senator Borah
cited these individual reductions: Bel
GUM, 53.5 per cent; Czecho-Slovakia,
25.1; France, 52.S; Great Britain, 1877;
Italy, 75.4; Poland, 1875; Roumania,
25.1; Jugo-Slavia, 69.1.
But these cancellations, he pointed
out, "had no effect whatever" in
stimulating economic conditions. And
then he told what hard-pressed Eu-
rope is spending for armament, citing
these figures: Great Britain, $67S,O51,-
247; France, S517,91O,S16; Italy (nOt
including naval aviation), $35O.057.-
$751;
Total organized forces were given
by Senator BOrah as follows: France,
6,942, $50; Italy, 5,9S5,597; Poland, L.
977,095; Roumania, 1,725, 500; CZecho-
Slovakia, 1,647,121; Jugo-Slavia, L.
341, sos: Great Britain, 1856.
That the news of omission of any
provision for war-debt payments from
the British budget, probably did not
come as a surprise to the White
House is remarked by correspondents
who point out that in his message to
Congress, last December, President
Hoover said that "a number of the
governments indebted to us will be
unable to meet further payments to
us in full, pending recovery in their
economic life
Certainly the constant increase in
in Europe makes those ma
tions less able to pay their debts and
at the same time it increases the cost
of our government by the continual
increase in armament expenditures in
this country.
Senator Dill of Washington, is an
other outstanding spokesman like Sen
ator Borah on the European debts to
America. He gave an excellent adj
dress on this subject over the Column

If the SO-called depression has

In times of prosperity, of success,

MAN WORKS SLOWLY
e Mile Laos Messenger)

(Fhe Mile Laos MeSsenger)
1t takes long time to change mans
ways. For thousands of years he was
slave to his designing rulers. At
their will and for their aggrandize-
ment he fought with his fellowmen,
getting nothing for it but the privi
lege of watching the grandeur and
luxury of his masters. Little by little
and inch by inch the absolute ruler
was eased out of the picture and man
attained some measure of personal
liberty. Few rulers of these times
would have the hardihOod to attempt
to make war without the consent of
their people. True, that consent is
won by deception and falsehood, but
the fact that it must be won is a long
step forward Our greatest tyrant now
is entrenched wealth, in this country
became our ruler We are told that
without these great accumulatiOns Of
money the worlds business could not
go on. Years ago men were cOZened
into the belief that without kings,
with their divine right" to rule over
their fellows, chaos would result.
Wealth is about the only king that
has the effrontry to put forward any
such claim now. Wealth. ruled by am
bilious men who want to rule the
world, claims all the ancient privi-
leges of royalty in its efforts to dom
mate. A way must be found to make
wealth the servant of the people, not
its master. Courage and intelligence
will find a way. as it has found a way
to do other things. Let us, warmed
and cheered by springs sunshine and
promise, fearlessly face our prob
lens.

Governor Olson's proposal to reduce
assessments on homesteads onesthird
and to have receipts from a state in
come tax make up for the lessened
real estate tax met with the unani-
nous approval of assessors from all
over Pine county at their meeting in
the court house Tuesday. A resolu-
tion to that effect was passed. More
and more folks are coming to realize
that placing most of the tax burden
on real estate and personal property
is entirely out of date and is not just.
The tax must be shifted more onto
people who have the income, on the
basis of ability to pay, and in accord

NO WONDER THAT EUROPEAN

contains very good article entitled
Hints of War-Debt Default" Euro
pean nations have borrowed from the
United States government by the bill
lions of dollars, especially during the
World war. These nations owe our
government and private investors 25
billion dollars and it seems that they
expect the American government or
taxpayers to sacrifice or cancel the
debts.

States for debt relief until they have

GOOD EXECUTIVE COUNTS
THE WaSeca Herald)


Announcement has been made that
the Federal Reserve Bank will make
an effort to stop deflation of govern
ment securities. 1t is high time that
it started, after many banks have been
ruined through the fall in prices of
government bonds. There is no rea-
son why a government 500 bond
should not be worth as much at any
time in any place as a government
500 bill. Both have the same gov
eminent backing. Both would be
worth the same were it not for the
greed of patriotic Gu Wall street
bankers and the aid of the head of
our government. When a Wall street
bank tried to depress the value of a
government bond issue in Woodrow
Wilson's administration, it was mott
fled that its charter would be can
celled if the attack did not cease.
That threat did the business and the
value of the bonds remained at par
