KINGSTON, Jamaica, November II
R.-At least 81 persons we're killed,
more than a hundred were seriously
hurt and heavy property damage was
inflicted Tuesday night when the hur-
ricane, whose full force fell on Cuba
the next day, struck the Caymen Isles,
three coral Islands 200 miles northwest
of here.
Word of the disaster reached here
only today. The island commissioner
reported the storm struck Little Cay
man Island and Cayman Brac Island,
leaving Grand Cayman Island, the
largest of the group, unscathed.
He appealed for immediate help and
the authorities here dispatched food
medical supplies and building material.
The Caymens are only few feet
above the sea, surrounded by coral
reefs. When the wind blew in at 100
miles an hour every dwelling on both
Cayman Brac and Little Cayman was

London Press Expects Aid.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 12.-London
Sunday newspapers expressed almost
unanimous belief that the United
States would grant a further morato-
rum on the British debt owed to the
United States.
The newspapers said that the British
War debt note now in the hands Of
Secretary of State Stimson requests
such a moratorium and suggests that
the debt question be tied up with the
world economic conference to be held
early next year, and reduction in
European ornaments.
An installment Of $95 $3.50 900 Is due
from Great Britain ON December Is.
Oficials maintained complete silence,
however, regarding the contents of the
note which Sir Ronald Lindsay, British
Ambassador In Washington. has de-
livered to the State Department.

many who are apprehensive at this
time concerning the stability and con-

most cursory reading of history should
reaSsure them that as a unit of power

Some of the wisest Of those who may

adjustment, Is a revival Of the Christian
faith Its influence upon human thought

That there is need Of a more militant

ternated while the Treasury was finding
itself until 1901, when a prosperous
period arrived. In 1901 there was O
surplus Of s3,540,749 and thereafter for
the next seven years a surplus was
shown. The top year was 1907, when
the surplus exceeded $4,000 900, a mint
OF money In those days. Meantime the
Revolutionary War debt had been paid
OH. Then came a deficit, then two
years OF surplus and next the heavy
deficit Of Sl0,479,638, the largest the
country had yet known, in the year
1872. The United States had been
under heavy annual expense in paying
tribute to the pirates of Algiers and
then went into naval war with Great
Britain on shipping issues.
The deficit mounted to $l7, 900 900, to
$4,000 600; then fell to $l7.000,000 BY
1915 it had been switched to a surplus
Of $l7,090.000, the largest surplus we
had ever enjoyed. only two years after
the war. The genius of Albert CAL
latin, the aged Swiss immigrant who
was Secretary of the Treasury at this
period, wiped the war debt clear.
Deficits and surpluses alternated
again until 1925, when 12-year period
OF surpluses was registered. 1t was in
this period that the Federal Govern
ment began a free distribution of its
extra funds to the States in the shape
OF dividends on their membership in
the Union. Hard times came again in
1887, when the Bank of the United
States incident caused panic to sweep
the country. In the next seven years
there were six deficits and then came
the Mexican War. 1t produced the larg-
est deficit to date, $50, ,785 900, in the
second year Of the war, the first year
having shown a surplus. Deficits Of

Eight years of surpluses followed and
then, following the devastating panic Of

caused by an English panic-it might
be difficult to determine-there came
the heavy peace-time deficit Of $27,5 7,529,-
000 Thereafter, for eight years, the
Treasury had a deficit, because before
recovery could be effected, the Nation
found itself in the furnace of civil war.
A curiosity Of American Treasury
finance is that perhaps the worst panic
did not create deficit. The great panic
of '73 dragged the surplus from over
500 900 900 to $4,000, 900, but did not

THE AMERICAN DEFICIT HABIT
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

While 1t is annoying to officials
charged with the conduct of the Ma
tions fscal affairs, and to the people
as a whole, to have Treasury deficit,
tnere Is nothing new or startling about
such q situation and 1t does not fore
cast the end OF the Republic. The
actual fact Is that the Treasury has
IN ~ out Of IA years Of functioning
SHOWN deficit. The balancing Of
the books at the close Of ~ years has
SHOWN that Treasury warrants or
checks have been drawn for more
money than taxes and other dues have
brought in to the public Golfers In
other words, the check stubs have
added up to more than there has been
IN the Treasury. This means an un-
balanced budget. Yet we've always
paid out
The deficit by the end Of the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1882, will be not
less than $2,500 .000, 900. This Is by
far the largest peace time deficit the
Treasury has ever revealed, and 1t Is
that fact which Is causing Congress
and the President good deal Of
worry.
While it Is true that most Of the
years showing Treasury deficits have
been years of peace, war years have
shortages. The largest deficit ever
shown was in 1919 When the World
War was over the effects of war
finance were wholly responsible for
the deficit, which amounted to the
staggering total Of $l4,297, ,760, ,28l. The
war year of 1918 registered a deficit
of $9,6l1. .482,739 and 1917 showed an
excess of expenditures over receipts
Of 1851, ,7l7,309.
1t must be remembered that In these
years the United States was lending
billions to the allies, was equipping
and transporting overseas an army Of
1000 900 men. was building a mer
chant feet as well as strengthening
the Navy and was engaged in a va
riety Of other expensive war activities
Money flowed out Of the Treasury like
water through a sieTe. The amazing
fact is that this greatest 0. all con-
flicts caused Treasury deficit IN only
three years. The year 1920 showed

books Of the public ezcheGuer reveal
ing an actual surplus OK tax receipts
over expenditures Of s5e2 geo 1877.
Long Stretch Of Prosperity
For a solid 10 years after 1920 the
Treasury showed an unbroken record Of
annual surpluSes, some running over
half billion From surplus Of s22S,-
09O. .557 in 1890 in spite Of the fact that
1t was a depression year. the tide re-
versed. and in 1881 showed deficit Of
S975, ,63B ,220. Only twice before In our
century and a half Of history has there
been such an unbroken stretch OF
Treasury prosperity. In the period
from 1925 to 1886. inclusive. there was
a spell Of IL years Of Treasury surpluses.
The most amazing record, however, IS
found In the period following the Civil
War. From a heavy deficit OF Ss63,-
84O,6l9 In 1865, the last year OF the
War Between the States, Treasury
finances switched to a surplus in 1866
of $37, ,223, ,2O3. beginning an unbroken
run of no less than % years without

can match this record. The panic OF

The Greek indispensable.

It is barely two weeks ago that
Eleutherios Venizelos, the man whom
President Wilson dignified as the
greatest statesman in Europe" laid
down the premiership Of Greece. M.
Venizelos surrendered Office along with
his cabinet when the Greek Parliament
declined to adopt the Governments
plan for financial reforms. Greece for
months past has faced conditions tam
tamount to national bankruptcy. On
May 23. following the resignation Of
the Venizelos ministry, Alexander Pa
panastasiou took over the premiership.
Yesterday he retired, after a brief and
inglorious reign, claiming that speech
by M. Venizelos had indicated that the
government no longer enjoyed the con-
ddence of the Athens Chamber.
Out of the new turmoil it will not be
surprising If the veteran Venizelos re-
turns to power, clothed, not for the first
time, with something akin to autocratic
authority. If he gets It. he will pre-
sumably proceed, regardless Of the
whims and caprices Of IN incalculable
enEaiahent. to put the Greek economic
