DOES THE WORLD
OWE Us A LIVING

The re-creator of the famous
Three Little Pigs, has a new
story out that OF the Grass
hopper and the hard working
Ants says the Hollywood Tri-
bune OF Portland, Oregon. Its
moral deals with ouI present
problems so completely that 1t
is worthy OF serious considera-
tion now.
The story is about a Grass
hopper who plays and sings all
day, "0h, The World Owes
Me a Living" He wastes his
food and time ani is continual
ly bothering the hard-working
Ants, who are laying away
food for the coming winter,
Finally winter comes. There
is no food for our happy Grass
hopper. Snow falls and our
Grasshopper friend turns blue
with cold. He staggers to the
door OF the warm and happy
Ants, who drag him in and
thaw him out. As the Grass
hopper returns to normal he is
informed that all who eat the
Ants food must work. De-
jected, he is about to leave
when he is informed he may
fiddle for his share. Happy
again, he ends the story by
singing, "Oh, | Owe the World
Living"
Have we been like the
Grasshopper, happy in the
thought that the United States
owes US a living?---Can the
Government spend millions and
even billions OF borrowed mon
ey without our having paid it
baek?"
We, like the Grasshopper in
the fable, can live as parasites
for a time But a day OF rec
koning inevitably comes, pre-
cisely as the cold weather fol-
lows the warm. The public
treasury is not a bottomless PIT
irrespectiv, of the views OF pol
iticians who would have US be-
lieve it is. And some chilly
morning we will awaken to find
tn the national theme song
has changed to 1--WE Owe the
