i. 5. CLASSES
WAR DEBTS
AS BAD

The $4,000 million dollars in
debts owed the United States by
foreign nations today were virtu-
ally relegated to the classification
of unrecoverable assets by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau.
In a summary of the Admins
tration's financial affairs during
the fiscal year just ended, the
Secretary significantly omitted
any mention of the foreign obliga-
tionS in listing number of items
which ultimately could be used to
reduce the public debt.
With the Federal Government
Gin the red" by $3.50 millions,
Morgenthau enumerated $3.50 mil
lions in assets that could be used
as an offset to the public debt.
U. S. Projects Assets
These represented 1000 millions
in loans to home-owners, farmers,
railroads, banks, insurance COM
panieS, States and municipalities;
the 1000 millions sterilization
fund, and a 2,700 millions cash
balance in Treasury vaults.
Morgenthau also characterized
public buildings, work projects and
land acquisitions as true assets"
Of the Government although they
are carried as expenditures" on
Federal ledger books.
Failure by the Secretary to in
clude the long-standing foreign
credits as part of the recoverable
assets indicated the Treasury has
little hope of their collection.
Bonus Excluded
Although the latest Treasury
statement lists the Federal deficit
at nearly 5000 millions, Morgen-
THAI commended the excess of ex-
penditureS over receipts during
the 1896 fiscal year amounted to
only 2,700 millions.
In arriving at this estimate, he
excluded 100 millions allocated
for soldiers bonus payments and
400 millions spent in public debt
retirements. Morge nthau ex-
planned the bonus should be con-
sidered as an extraordinary ex-
penditure and technically not a
part of the Governments normal
fiscal operation. Money devoted
to debt retirement also should not
be included in computation of the
deficit, he said.
The Secretary's reference to the
1000 million sterilization fund
was guarded. This is in line with
the Administrations steadfaSt re-
fuSal to make any public discloS-
ure on how the fund is being used
to protect the dollar in foreign ex-
change.
Among the encouraging finan-
cial factors noted by Morgenthau
during the last IL months were a
rise in national income, steady i'm
provement of business conditions
and increased Federal revenues.

Church Federation Aids
Central Union Mission


The Central Union Mission and its
workhas been the subject of an article
by Mr.. James Clagett Proctor. This
piece deals mostly with the past history
OF the organization and with its child
welfare activities as carried on by Mr..
and Mrs. j. S. Bennett.
But there is yet another side to that
enterprise which is financed by the
Federation of Churches and also super
vised by Mr.. Bennett. The back part
of the building facing on Indiana ave-
nue. is practically an independent struc-
ture. 1t opens on c street (610. This
is where homeless men (mostly tran
Sients, but some also locaD are being
looked after. On one of the floors there
is dormitory tbunk system), forming
| after every day, where about 125 may be
accommodated.
Farther down, on Indiana avenue, an
annex takes care of an overflow. All
these are fed in the morning and late
in the evening. Naturally, not square
meals, but at least something for moth
ing" Sizing up the patrons, We find
quite few who are apparently derelicts
by manifest destiny, but also many who
look like outstanding men, young middle
aged and even elderly, worth any mans
money If they only could connect.
Attendance at the evening services is
compulsory for these free patients"
mo tickee, no washee," and mo service,
no soup" Well, as long as they are get
ting what they are getting through Chris
tian charity, this is perfectly proper.
There are spirited musical features to
these exercises, pep talks, sermons and
IL
hominem" in true, old-time revival style.
Some of those who work about the
place are paid moderate salary, while
others (sweepers and such) are fed three
good meals-no cash. But, so under
stand, there are calls from people every
day who want odd jobs done. These are
turned over to these unpaid ones. And
SO there is always little money coming
in, until luck or their own exertions or
the efforts of the Mission land for them
something worth while. Some very good
permanent jobs have been secured from
here. And so the place performs a use
full function as an employment agency.
Clothing is also being issued.
This c street building further con-
tainS ION four 1oorS) about As rentable
rooms at $3.50 and 81 a week. These
are WoSIly oCCupIeo duo UTlllg III quite
bit. The price might be shaved
little, but, quite likely, they need the
money There are excellent bathing and
lavatory facilities.
AS see it, along with the Gospel Mis-
sion on Four -and-a-half street and the
Volunteers of America on the Avenue,
near Sixth street, this Central Union
Mission fills a District need. If it were
not for these shelters, then those who
are "up against it" would even have a
worse time than they are having. The
Great White Father, it is plainly to be
seen, can't look after everything. And
therefore the voluntary efforts of these
church people are worthy of every praise.
We have the New Deal, but even so, a
few privately supported soup houses
come in handy. FRED VETTER.

End of Sanctions.

With comprehensive pride Italy is
celebrating the end of League of Ma
tions sanctions, imposed upon her in No.
vember, 1885, in futile effort to stop
her war against Ethiopia Geneva hav-
ing fixed July IS as the official date for
their abolition, Mussolini seized upon
the occasion for a characteristic glori-
fication of Fascist triumph. He could
not restrain himself from indulging in
q grandiloquent outburst emphasizing
the discontinue of the League powers.
"The white flag has been hoisted on the
bastions Of world sanctionism," II Duce
thundered to a frenzied mob before the
Palazzo Venezia. Thereupon he pro-
ceeded to describe the lifting of sane
tions not only as surrender" by the
outside world, but as victory for JUS
tice and civilization" won through the
'invincible spirit of sacrifice" shown by
the whole italian people, notably women
and children.
Having survived the Leagues punitive

has added to his reputation for bravery
and quickness of mind and the people
have supplementary cause to rejoice in
their good fortune in possessing such a
gallant spirit for their governor and
leader. Moreover. those particularly
charged with guarding the monarch have
received lesson which will prompt more
watchful efficiency on their part, espe-
cially next year, when the coronation
ceremonies will bring crowds to London.
For humanity at large one thought
may be added-namely, mankind needs
Edward VIII. Already he has proven
himself the ideal head of the British
Empire. His modesty, his reticence, his
zeal for peace. prosperity and progress
are precious values to the entire human
family. Millions, then, should join in
the prayer for his preservation from any
and every accident.

measures, the Italians are now engaged
in tabulating the profit and loss Of their
African adventure. AS they look back
upon the past eight months, they feel
that on the whole they have no reason
to be dissatisfied with the net results.
To begin with, they have the realiza-
ton that Italy, after standing her eco
nomic ground against f1fty-two nations,
emerged from that endurance contest
with vastly augmented international
prestige. From the standpoint Of purely
material achievement the Fascists reckon
that even If their national gold reserve
has been depleted possibly by one-half
since the sanctions war" set in, they
have won vast colonial empire. In
obtaining it at cost Of 2,000,0 1000, 900
gold lire, Italians consider that the in
veStment by and large was good one.
Sanctions, of course, played havoc with
their foreign trade. While statistics are
conflicting, they console themselves with
the claim that imports during the sane
tIOLlS pcIlOU lCll CfCIl tIldL
exports, and that the Italian balance OF
trade in consequence has actually i'm
proved. Not to be left out Of account
is the fact that while trade requirements
made heavy inroads into the gold re-
serve, there were simultaneous accretions
of substantial amount in the form of
gold donations to the treasury, pur-
chaSeS of the metal abroad and sale of
foreign securities held by Italians.
Mussolini's immediate efforts will be
devoted to rehabilitating Italy's shat
tered economic structure. That the
animoSities engendered by sanctions will
soon pass into the limbo of the forgotten
is evidenced by the prompt arrival in
Rome of British mission charged with
the duty Of re-eStabliShing normal
Anglo-Italian trade relations. In due
course, Italy will no doubt be doing busi-
ness as usual with the world. The Fas-
cist people have demonstrated pretty
conclusively that sanctions OF the late
Geneva brand, especially if they do not
include oil, are hardly capable in them
selves of restraining a determined mill
tary power from waging war, even far
from home.

Enough, the point, to let us see.

A dash will tell of wrath concealed
A dash will make the meaning good
A great big D" is understood.

To calm the oratoric gale,
To tell our sorrow or our joy
Just dots and dashes we'll employ.

The Three Musketeers.

Looking about for the nature of the
cohesive elements binding together that
queer triumvirate in Cleveland-Father
Coughlin. DR.. Townsend and the Rev.
erend Gerald K Smith-one is impressed
by the existence of at least three of them.
First, there is an intemperately, even
vulgarly expressed and rather irrational
hatred of the President. For political
expediency, however, nice distinction is
drawn between fishwifely denunciation
of the President and criticism of the
Democratic party.
Second, there is the depression born
phenomenon of an opportuniSm which
has enabled each of these three men to
climb to his present eminence in Amer
ican life.
Third, the support they share from
those who, confused and bewildered in
complex world, have grasped feverishly
at the straws to which the doctrine or
the rhetoric of these three messiahs has
given something like tangible form.
Their followers are hungry for the same
piece of cake, though different dyes are
used to color the Townsend, the Cough
lin and the Gerald K Smith frosting.
OF the three, DR.. Townsend is the least
fitted for the leadership with which fate
has temporarily clothed him. He is
wobbly and uncertain. He is no speaker.
He has risen on the tail of an idea and
when that idea finally meets the fate of
similar nostrums that have had their
brief moments in the past, he will fall
with it.
Of the three, Father Coughlin is prob
ably the intellectual superior, possessing
a cleverness which permits the effective
use of his half-truths in the oratorical
trimmings served with them. His stupid
lack of judgment will doubtless bring him
to earth with harder fall than either
OF his temporary confreres. His denun-
citation of the President Of the United
States in Cleveland yesterday was in
such execrable taste as to ALLEVIATE many
who have tried to follow him. Father
Coughlin is taking about all the rope he
needs to hang himself.
OF the three, Rev. Gerald K. Smith is
in some ways the most appealing. His
racket is simple rabble-rousing. Those
who heard him in Macon last Winter and
at Cleveland on Wednesday attest to his
ability to string strong words together in
a fashion that makes absolutely no
sense, but which convinces audiences
that here, before their very eyes, is hot
stuff indeed. An understudy of the late
Huey P. Long, he gives utterance to such
sublime passages as:
come from State where there
amt nothing but Democrats. I am q
Democrat all through, and anybody who
denies it has got me to fight. I am q
Jefferson Jackson William Jennings
Bryan-Huey P. Long Democrat, and just
because refuse to drink this poisonous
Tammany milk out of this Farley bottle
and eat this Brain Trust cake baked in
Moscow don't you dare say I amt If
that is the Democratic party, then to
hell with the Democratic party.
Where these Three Musketeers are
bound for, nobody knows exactly now.
But it cannot be very far away.
