Washington--Back in 1915 before
the United States became involved
In the World war
Public Debt our government had
Moynfs national debt which
was regarded $
large ar that time. II was only ST.
2Oo,Oo0,Ooo, but that was sufficient in
those days 10 cause concern.
On the first Of July, 1885, the trea-
sury started new set Of books This
represented the beginning of new
financial year for the government. One
Of the items ii had 10 enter on those
books was public debt Of about S2S,-
SO0,Oo0,O00. We OF today think that
is a huge debt and when IL is COM
pared with the outstanding obligations
OF the federal government a score Of
years ago its magnitude appears TO be
titanic.
When the treasury closed the fiscal
year books on June 80 and counted the
cost of the preceding L months Of
government il was found that there
had been expended roughly $1,000, oo0,-
600. In the same period il had col
lecred through income and other forms
Of taxes, including duties laid at the
customs houses, a total Of approx
mately S3.So0,0OO,OOo. This means that
in the last u months the government
operated with a deficit of something
over $500. 100000. In other words.
its operating costs were virtually dOu-
bic the amount OF revenue il received.
This deficit together with the deficit
that was created during the earlier
months Of the Roosevelt administra-
ton added something ike $1,000, Oo0,-
600 10 the national debt. President
Hoover while in office added about 81
000. 100000 to the national debt through
deficits in the last two years Of his
administration. So there are two out
standing phases in the financial affairs
of the federal government as il starts
the fiscal year of 1886, which began
July l.
There is bred these questions: How
long can the federal government con-
tinue TO spend money like water and
thus increase its public debt, and how
long viii the American people continue
10 permit expenditures by their gov
eminent in excess OF the revenues II
collects?
They are related questions. Neither
can happen without the other. But il
seems 10 me that the time has come
for taxpayers and voters generally 10
take note Of the condition OF the gov
ernment's finances.
Mr.. Roosevelt justifies these heavy
OUTLAWS under the necessities Of an
emergency. He contends that when
prosperity returns and business Is nor
nal, citizens will pay their taxes with
out complaint and that these taxes
viii be sufficiently large in their total
production TO white down the gigantic
outstanding debt. Hence there Is ar
this moment an urgent need for ex-
animation Of the whole tax structure.
This is necessary 70 maintain the
credit Of the United States. II people
doubt or lose faith in government
bonds, the credit Of the government
can be said TO be impaired. No nation
Of self-respecting people desires that
thing 10 happen. II has long been a
recognized truism that if United
States government bond was not worth
its face value, the money we have and
the rights we exercise as citizens like
wise become impaired in value and
benefit.

Finances
Analysed

A1cTvzed cover what Mr.
Roosevelt c b ara c.
terizes as ordinary government costs.
He means by that the expenses Of the
regular establishments of government
and excludes all Of the so-called emer-
gency agencies, OF which there are now
some sixty-odd. This condition reveals
that federal taxes are about the only
item in governmental affairs or in
private business that have completely
recovered from depression effects. Re
covery has been sufficient TO make the
total revenues virtually the same as
those received under the Hoover ad-
ministration in the fiscal year Of 1929
1880. II shows also that Mr.. Roose-
welt has not reduced the cost OF ordi-
nary running expenses Of the govern
ment as he had planned when he be-
came President
l mentioned earlier a comparison of
the public debt now and in 1916. Let
Us take another date, namely, 1919.
at that time the outstanding debt was
ST, 594, O00,O00 The annual interest
charge on that debt was Just short OF
one billion dollars. Today with a
much larger outstanding debt. the an
nual interest charge amounts TO only
Ss2o,00oooo per year.
This seems almost paradoxicaI but
the answer lies in the interest rate the
government is paying. In 1921 the
average rate Of interest calculated on
all different types of government Sc
curities outstanding was 434 per cent
At the present time ii is less than 8
per cent So credit must be accorded
the treasury for its gradual reduction
in interest rates. Ten years ago an
effort was made TO market securities
at gradually lower interest rates. 1t
did not succeed fully because private
business was demanding capital and
private business was paying higher
interest rates. In the last five or six
years private business has called for
very little money. Government securi-
ties and the law Of supply and demand
operated 10 allow the treasury 10 sell
its bonds and notes at much reduced
interest
On the one hand, therefore, the
Roosevelt administration has run I'D
the public debt by about 5000, 600 600
but has succeeded In actually reducing
the carrying charge Of this great debt
structure BY more than 500. o0o. 900 per
year. That is the situation as of
today. Restoration Of business activity
and the resultant demand for capital
may change the market for treasury
bonds almost overnight but the pros
poets for such business activity are not

ALEXANDRIA, Va, January T.
Because park police found IA dead
wild ducks when they looked in his
auto, parked near Riverbend, on the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway,
about 4 am. yesterday, Elmer L.
Phelps, 20, ex-soldier of Mount Vernon
Hills, will be tried before United States
Commissioner John Barton Phillips on
a number Of Federal game violation
charges.
In addition to charges Of exceeding
the bag limit Of IL ducks. and not
having a Federal migratory bird
stamp on his hunting permit. game
officials today were considering also
charging Phelps with shooting at
night. hunting on Federal reserva-
tion and hunting semi-tame ducks In
the Reaches Run reservation.
The officials said that the former
soldiers car had been seen earlier
yesterday near the Reaches Run res
ervation, where lock holding small
boat was said to have been broken
and the boat used. A gun, admittedly
belonging to Phelps. was found in a
marsh near Riverbend, the officials
said. The ducks we're reported of the
same species as those on the Reaches
Run reservation and empty shells cor

admittedly owned by Phelps were

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. %. U.n)-Im-
preston of Marlene Dietrich-Wall
Street mind on a Broadway chassis.
The exotic Marlene pronounced
Mar-lay-na) has just astonished
the natives and her own publicity
staff by spending a whole after
noon being nice to the press j.
after refusing to talk for months.
She is the German girl who
merged a swell brace of legs and a
curiously husky voice with the
American impression that all Eu-
ropean women are glamorous, and
made it a big business.
Battles Publicity
It's hard to remember that While
watching her hold court in her
studio cottage, very trim in black
velvet suit, lacy some-kind-of-a
blouse, and trick hat that resem-
bles a Dutch girls cap gone ma
tive.
The Paramount publicity boys sit
back and look baffled while she does
her stuff. She puts it over the
way they wish they could.
Marlene, daughter of a Lieutenant
of Hussars in the Kaiser's army, is
as shrewd as they come in Holly
wood, where there are many
bright ones.
HollyWood's famed mystery of
Marlene" boils down to the equal
ly odd conclusion that she is one
actress who treats her career as a
business-a successful business.
AS she talks she leaves no doubt
that she knows exactly how many
pfennigs make a mark, and what
is the going rate of exchange to all
countries, including Scandinavian
Battered business behemoths could
learn something by looking over
her depression year crossings.
It's Not Fair
1t doesn't seem quite fair that so
much acumen should reside behind
that carefully arranged blond bob
and slow smile. 1t gives Dietrich
too much advantage for one person.
But listen to Marlene instead of
your correspondent.
"The movies aren't an art but an
industry. Some players, however,

ARMY PLANES
BOMB FLO "
OF VOLCANO

HILO, T. H, Dec. 27 WP)- Five
army planes today simultaneously
bombed fiery lava flows threaten
ing Hilo's water supply, the Wailuki
river.
Clouds of steam and smoke mush-
roomed skyWard as the high eX-
plosive projectiles exploded with a
terrific detonation.
The bombs were dropped at a
point about five miles below the
headWatels of the river. Creeping,
fiery red streams of lava were but
a few miles from the water course,
and it was hoped the bombs would
divert them.
Grazing land and timber were
ravaged by the fiery stream as it ate
its way along the ground, burning
every combustible thing in its path.
Ranchers were evacuating sheep
and cattle from the path of the on
coming lava.
