BY WILLIAM C. UTLEY


THERE was a time when the
United States had national
debt of only $37,515.05. But that
was exactly 100 years ago-in
1885, And for each of those 100 years
the debt has multiplied almost 10000
times.
The United States began existence
with the staggering tfor those times)
national debt of $50, 463, 900. That was
to pay for the Revolutionary war, and
up to the present day great rises in
the national debt have been the result
of wars accepting the theory of one
school of thought, which regards the
spending that caused the present
enormous total as necessitated by de-
preston which was the direct result
of the World war;.
The War Of 1912 sent the debt up to
S127, 1884, 933.74 in 1916. In 1866 the
debt reached new high Of S2,756,000,-
600, following the Civil war. In 1915
it stood at the comfortable total of
81, 190OO0,0O0, but the World war sky
rocketed it to the alarming total of
S26, 594,O00,0OO four lears later. By
conscientious Understanding during
the next decade the debt reached its
postwar low of $16,200,0 100000 in 1880.

1886 SEED LOAN
BLANKS ARRIVE

Application for emergency crop
loans for 1886 are now being re-
ceived at Plentywood by Arnold
Horgen, field supervisor of the
Emergency Crop and Feed Loan
Section of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration.
The emergency crop loans will
be made only to farmers who can
not obtain credit from any other
source, as provided by regulations
issued by the Governor of the
Farm Credit Administration. The
money loaned will be limited to
the farmers immediate and actual
cash needs for growing his 1896
crops and in no instance may ex-
coed 5000 to one farmer.
Farmers are not eligible for the
emergency crop loans if they can
borrow from an individual, pro-
duction credit assoc;ati ION, bank, or
other concern. Farl.lers will also
be considered ineligible if they
have an application pending with
Resettlement Administration, have
received assistance from that or
ganizzation this year or are in
debted to the Resettlement Ad-
ministration for an unpaid loan.
AS in the past, the security for
an emergency crop loan will con-
sist of first lien on the crop fl
nanced. Landlord or others hav-
ing an interest in the crop to be
financed will be required to waive
their claims in favor of a lien to
the Governor of the Farm Credit
Administration until the emerg-
ency crop loan is repaid.
Checks in payment of approved
loans will be issued by the Re-
gional Emergency Crop and Feed
Loan office at Spokane, Wash.

MINNEAPOLIS. March H.
Ousting of Mayor Thomas E. Lati-
mer of Minneapolis from The Far
mer-Labor party was dem ended by
the Hennepin county Farmer-La-
Dor association in its convention
last Sunday.
The demand finally took the
form of a recommendation to the
Thirteenth ward Farmer-Labor
club of Minneapolis, OF which
Mayor Latimer is a member, that
he be expelled from the club, after
it was explained by David Lundeen
chairman Of the resolutions COM
mittee, that such expulsion was not
a proper subject for the county
convention.

The conventions action on Mayor
Latimer came after AL Hansen,

made a stirring appeal for the
ousting of the Minneapolis chief
executive from the party.
"Our candidate for mayor,
Thomas Latimer," Chairman Han
sen shouted, betrayed the party
and the people to the Citizens
Alliance when pressed by them to
follow a reactionary path. Lati-
mer's betrayals have deeply shak-

Therefore, it is necessary, in

Italy Holds Trump Cards as
Powers Face Alternative of
United Front Against the
USSR or Anti German Bloc

Nazi Germany this week ripped
the paper bottoms out Of the Yer
sailles and Locarno treaties by
by marching troops, guns and
tanks into the denilitarized Rhine
land.
This move, long heralded and
sedulously prepared, brings the
French and British imperialism
faG TO face with the alternatives
of gobilizing once more against
Germany or accepting Hitler's of
fer Of a united front against tho
Soviet Union.
Faced with the Italian threat to
support the Reich in its denuncia-
ton of the Locarno pacts, Britain,
which has just launched the
mightiest armament program the
world has ever seen, has given
ample indication that it would
far sooner make terms with Hitler
than risk war at a time when il
could have little confidence in the
outcome.
French Imperialism, uncertain Of
British support, desperately de-
sirous of winning Italy back into
the concert of Powers, is meeting
the crisis with hesitation and in-
decision. All its careful years Of
diplomacy designed to keep Ger
many vanquished and impotent
have come to naught. Across the
border a mighty, rearmed Reich
has once more hurled its challenge
for a place in the imperialist sun.
In this explosive situation, Mus
solini holds the whip hand, It
was with Mussolini's encourage
ment that Hitler unilaterally de.
nounced the Locarno treaty and
marched across the Rhine. At the
same time, almost to the moment,
Mussolini accepted the. Geneva
peace" proposal-which is only q
formula for bringing the Powers
once more to the negotiation table
for a division of the spoiIs and a
choosing Of sides. In demanding
his pound of flesh, Mussolini holds
over London and Paris the menace
of an Italo- German alliance draw
ing Austria, Hungary, Poland and
Bulgaria into its orbit, demanding
as his price a complete relaxation
of pressure on his East African
conquests.
HitlerIs Trump Card
But Hitler is by no means only
Mussolini's trump. He is playing
cards Of his own.
While tanks trundled across the
Rhine bridges and planes swooped
jubilantlv over Rhineland cities,
Hitler stood in the Knoll Opera
House in Berlin and offered a 25-
year non-aggression, pact to Bel
GUM, France, Lithuania and oil
states bordering on the Reich, to
be guaranteed by Britain and
Italy.
