since last January that his $32,000,-
600 900 limit on public debt may have
to be exceeded by about $500,00O, 900
for further relief, so we may assume
that the net debt will be about $24,-
200 900 900.
Ninth, the 10 years after the World
War we cut our public debt from
$27, 900, 900 900 in 1919 to about ST.
600 900, 900 in 1929. But large part
of the 10 billion cut came from the
sale of war surpluses and supplies
and from war debt payments from
European countries, SO that only
about $1,000 100000 of debt retire
ment really resulted from tax re-
ceipts. Those, too, were years OF
prosperity and productive tax returns.
Tenth, what then can we do to cut
down the $24, 200, 900, 900 public debt,
assuming that after 1886 we shall
have no large relief expense or new
loans to make by the Federal Govern
ment? Taxes will have to be ma
terially increased from all sources.
This is not an impossible task if busi-
ness is revived and if prices OF con-
sumner products can then absorb the
taxes or if the taxes of States and
cities have not risen too high at the
same time. For the public debt OF
cities and States is rising and many
Of those repayable loans of the R. F. c.,
which, in the above analysis, have
been assumed as coming back to the
Treasury, depend on whether the
cities and States can tax their people
enough to pay back those loans now
being used for public works and other
self -iquidating projects.
New Tax Law Needed.
Eleventh, budget of $4,000, 900, 900
a year instead of the $7,000,000, 1000
Just spent is more in line with Amer
ica's capacity, but even to get that
amount of receipts it will be necessary
to add about $1,000, 100000 in new
taxes, whereas the most optimistic
estimates on the new tax law recently
passed by Congress do not exceed
S525, ,000,000 Hence, next January
a tax law that will pinch will have
to be enacted.
The foregoing is based on the idea
that a $4,000, 100000 budget would be
composed of s2,85O,O00,OOO for an
ordinary budget, about $500,0 100000
for debt retirement, about $500, 100000
for relief, public works, and a social
program such as the President has in
mind, and about $150,000,000 year
for miscellaneous Government cor
porations, including agricultural ad-
justment, which institutions will con-
tinue for some years to be somewhat
of a drain on the Treasury.
Unless, however, some such curtail-

The Treasury Department has sent
reminders to the debtor nations. The
answers have been pouring in since
last week. They all said the same
thing: The world economic situation
has not changed materially yet and
the debtor nations cannot see any
reason why they should resume pay
ment or start negotiations for the
settlement of the debt problem.
X y
The British have been very polite
in their refusal, but the whole cabinet
was unanimous in turning down the
idea OF payment OF any kind.
The French cabinet ,Uas less
united. Edouard Herriot, 1Cho is
again a member OF the Fldndin ad.
mtnistrGtion, reiterated his conDic-
ton that a settlement should be
made. 1t ,0as really immateriaI
Uhat Herriot's opinion Uas;; he
knetD full ,DeH that he iDiH not be
folloWed, either BY his other COL
leagues or BY the Parliament But
it 1UdS gesture Which put him in
different light in this country and
that might be helpful some day.
Speculation is rife in certain polit-
ical quarters in Paris as to whether
Herriot is preparing the ground for
an eventual ambassadorship to Amer
lea, should he be shelved temporarily
in the reshuffiing of the frequently
changing French cabinets.
X X X *
French newspapers have been dis
cussing the debt problem lately.
One of the leading Paris journals
wonders whether the State Depart
ment will continue to send debt no
tices to Paris for the next so years,
since France is entered in the Treas
ury Departments books as a debtor
until June IS, 1887.
Philippe Bertholot, leading figure
in the field of international politics
while he was permanent undersecre-
tary of the French foreign Office, died
a few days ago.
He was one of the chief engineers
of the entente between Great Britain
and France, which was established
before the war.
Bertholot was a realist and viewed
with skepticism the efforts Of his
chief BRAND to bring about universal
peace through the League of Nations
and multilateral treaties. He was a
strong believer in a good old-fash-
ioned secret military and political
agreement.
When BRAND talked to him about
his various pacts and concluded his
conversations with the expression,
Everything will be arranged in the
end," Bertholot always replied. "Xes,
M. lie President, but it will be ar
ranged for the worse"

There is only one nation left in
the world which does not want to
recognize Russia's increasing role in
politics and refuses to
renew relations with that country.
That is Switzerland. 1t reluctantly
permits Russian citizens to enter its
territory when the League Of Nations
holds its session at Geneva, but out
side that it has nothing to do with
the Russians. Disguised with the at
titude of the other powers. such as
Great Britain, France and the United
States, which have all recognized the
Moscow regime, and some, like
France, actually entered into an al
lance with Russia, Switzerland is
turning toward Germany and to
lesser degree toward Japan. which
are at loggerheads with the Soviet.

If there is ever trouble between Ger

Switzerland holds a key position which
might afford Germany or Italy an i'm

The settlement of the Hungarian
YugoSlav row at Geneva brought to
the memory of certain diplomats the
settlement of an equally important
incident between Italy and the Little
Entente in 1926.
Italy was then arming Hungary,
sending field artillery, machine guns
and ammunition to Budapest in cases
marked agricultural implements" A
tactless Czechoslovakian customs off,
cial poked his nose in those cases and
discovered what they actually con-
tanned.
The matter Uds Immediately
taken up by Genera and, as usual,
Hungary, the peaker nation, Was
made the Scdpegodt, ,Uhile Italy's
name UdS neUer mentioned.
Ferdinand Veverka, at present
Czechoslovakian Minister at Washing
ton, was the prosecutor for the Little
Entente and he conducted his case
with great skill, refusing to introduce
the names of the senders.
The Italian delegate, Scialoja, was
very grateful and thanked Veverka
when the trouble was over.
Veverka accepted the compliments
Of his colleague and added: I'VE are
going to build a memorial on the
border where the cases were discov-
cred. and will dedicate it to the 'un-
known sender"
