SUPPORT THE CHURCHES

Every community has, among its wise
can tell you lot of things that some
church members do, and they expect you
to believe that hypocrites keep them on
the sidewalk looking in.
Don't be so foolish as to believe these
takers, even if they have fooled them
selves, and really think they are sincere
seekers after truth. They will talk blind
ly about tolerance and intolerance. ETC. and
ETC., and wind up their discussion with
few pot-shots at religion. It's an amusing
custom.
Regardless of what you might hear
don't forget that religion is the real force
in the world that leads to better men and
women. The organized churches are the
real servants of mankind in promoting and
encouraging high ideals in everyday life
Religion is vital to many people who are
called "narrow-minded" and straight
laced by their liberal fellow-citizens.
Supporting the churches of Key West
is good work. While we do not think
that a man or woman should enter into
religious, or church work, merely because
it is one way to become known as an up
right or reliable person, and thus to stand
WELL in the neighborhood, yet it is better
to do this, and help the churches in their
work. than to stand on the public thor
oughfares and make yourself known as
critic of the churches.

SCIENCE MIGHT AID MARRIAGE

Human beings have undertaken about
every form of investigation and study that
their imagination suggests with perhaps
all exception in regards to the science of
successful family life
Why the church or the states should
expect two young people to "get married
and stay happy as matter of course, is
beyond our feeble brain. That there is
much to be learned in the habits of loving,
and that the experience of older married
couples is valuable to younger mates if
available. ought not to be subject to dis
pute.
Somebody ought to attempt to write a
book on the subject of marriage, its duties
and responsibilities, with advice and aids
of a sensible and practical nature. Love
may be miracle, and we're inclined to
believe that it is, but unless backed up by
some intelligent cultivation it will die like

Throughout the depression the

credit is strong and getting stronger.

You and YOuK !:
Nations Affairs
Danger! Explosives!
By HARLEY L. LUTZ IL ,
Professor of Public Finance. Princeton University

Of investors than il had enjoyed in the
days when III was rapidly reducing
| its debt out of surplus revenues.
As a matter of fact, the govern
| ment's credit is not as good as it was
six years ago. The ease with which
the huge loans of the depression Pc
riod have been floated is due almost
entirely to an abnormal bank credit
situation. This abnormality is in the
| enormous volume of excess bank re-
serves. that is. member bank deposits
in the Federal Reserve Banks in ex-
cess OF the amounts required as legal
reserve against their respective de-
posts. Such excess reserves are idle
funds and the banks are eager to get
| whatever can be earned on them.
The demand for federal bonds and
| notes is not bona fide investment
| demand; on the contrary. it is an arti-
fetal. highly temporary demand, in
spired by the pressure to put idle
funds at work. however low the re-
turn may be. None is justified in con-
STRUNG this situation to indicate a
good credit rating. The danger of do
ing so is that both the government
and the people are encouraged to take
wholly superficial attitude toward
the real significance of continued
budgetary unbalance and further
borrowing to finance excessive ex-
penditures.
Another aspect of the situation that
is never dwelt upon by treasury Off
Gals is the fact that the excess bank
reserves have been created by earlier
operations in the public debt. When
ever further heavy borrowing may
be decided upon, the funds for the
purpose can be created by open mar
ket operations in federal securities.
The President has authority to order
the Federal Reserve Banks to buy
additional large amounts of federal
paper in the open market He may
also direct that the huge sterilization
fund. resulting from dollar devalua-
ton be used for this purpose. Thus il
is always possible to create more
funds for investment, if other loans
are to be f1oated.
This kind of credit imitation does
not indicate good credit rating. II
would be more apt to say that we are
striking matches in a powder maya
zine to see just where the powder is.
Every year in which we continue
such financial tactics by spending far
more than we collect in revenues in
creases the likelihood of a terrific in
/ flationary explosion. Those of us who
are not destroyed by this explosion
will probably be so badly burned by
it as to make recovery doubtful.
