THE ILLOGIC OF A LOGICAL NATION

The French treasury recently made it's first offering to the public of the defense bonds. The quarter of billion dollar issue heavily versubscribed Some people waited for hours for the privilege of laying their money the line.
 The French can be known but they cannot easily be explained Take for example, their passion for govern ment bonds. Almost any government and almost any bond will fetch them provided the interest rate is suc ently low seem safe As result of the successive depreciaons of the franc they lost colossal which they had lent to their own government Now they back with They lost hundreds of millions of sav ngs which had been advanced to Russia, Turkey, and other dubious creditors. They took another mental beating their Panama canal venture beating severe that it has obscured the facteven from French men, that their money accomplished very substantial part of all the digging that done in the making of the canal. They deserve much larger share of the credit for the Panama canal than they have re- ceved
 Despite this experience they still buy bonds but they won't pay the taxes which alone make the bonds good. Outlanders frequently impressed with the severity of the taxes imposed bv the French govern ment but the rates not to be taken too seriously Other peoples try to avoid direct taxes Frenchmen pre- fer to ignore them altogether Even during the war their government could not make Frenchmen pay their taxes, but these same Frenchmen would and did buy bonds beyond all expectations.
 It is possible to attempt an explanation of this un- willingness of logical people to think through simple problem in national finance. The vast. majority of Frenchmen work hard and save carefully in order to nave on WfCn to reIre. OBVIOUSLY, the more they pay in taxes the less they There fore they have profound aversion to direct taxation At the same time they prefer to invest their savings in fixed interest securities because by doing they can calculate with great precision just how long it will take with the aid of compound interest, to achieve their goals.
 The fact that the investments they make frequently dsappont them doesn't destroy their fondness for gov bonds because these securities for all their proved hazards still less hazardous than any others they still think.
 The French are a local people, but the word must be applied in relative, not an absolute sense The French nation is not composed of disemboded intel lecs. They are less addicted than other peoples to wishfu thinking but being human, they not wholly immune to it.

PHILADELPHIA, April ia
three-point program to govern Amer
lean economic policies in what he
termed "the impending world war"
was presented today to the American
Academy of Political and Social
Science by James D. Mooney, vice
president Of General Motors Corp.
Picturing what he referred to as
tho political insanities" of the last %
years the world over, Mooney OBJ
served "all OF these things might seem
TO imply that our modern civilization,
consciously or not. is actually planning
Its own destruction"
He named as "insanities' the treaty
Of Versailles, reputation of interna-
tional obligations, paper money and
imitation. economic nationalisn, "the
universal rage to sell without buying
. or to buy without paying" and the
current armament race.
American Aims Listed.
Asserting the only neutrality the
United States could maintain would
be an armed neutrality" Mooney
advanced these points as "the essence
OF American economic aims and
policies for the impending world war;:
l. Drastic encouragement and pre-
Vention Of exports that will not be
paid for;
2. Steady maintenance OF exports
that will be paid for;
3. Insurance Of a flow Of imports
Of the raw materials and processed
goods needed to maintain our in
dustries and standards of Iving-and
to enable payment for our exports.
What I advocate" he said, 'is
arrning for neutrality, just as other
nations are now arming for war And
would advocate making Just as
thorough job Of it. To be specific,
would advocate the building OF
Navy powerful enough to give US
recognized freedom Of the seas"
Isolationism Held Utopian.
Predicting the most destructive war
IN the history of the world, accom-
panied possibly by a universal social
upheaval with bloody class war and
revolution the only possible outcome, ("
he called isolationism a Utopian doc
trine, adding:
1T IS obvious, from our own record
AZ q neutral in the last war, that neu-
trality, as hitherto practiced, is use
less as = means OF relief for non-
warning nations against economic
strain or loss. Isolationism, now be-
ing advocated, would be even worse
than useless"
To maintain freedom OF the seas
Mooney advocated developing a mer-
chant marine that could keep up the

struction Of . Navy to protect the

Calvin 5 Digest
Southern Economies
By FLOYD j. CALVIN


We note an article in the current
Virginia Quarterly Review, published
at the University Of Virginia, on
''The South's Unbalanced Budget
by David Cushman Coyle, in which
these interesting observations are
made:
'9Ihe South Is losing money. The
editor Of a leading Southern news
paper makes Il rough guess that the
south is paying out q billion dollars
q year beyond it's yearly income.
Where does it get the billion dollars?
BY selling property to investors IN
other parts Of the country, BY borrow
ing money and going bankrupt, BY
destroying land and forest to make
products for sale.
4'Tke South is losing resources,
physical and human. Forests are cut
and not replanted. Coal and iron
ore are mined and the steel is
shipped away for others to use. The
land is being washed into the sea.
The people arc being allowed to
suffer poor health and poor educa-
ton, which robs them of part Of
their productive powers. These un-
pleasant developments, which SO
deeply concern the leaders Of the
South, are involved in the problem Of
economic unbalance which concerns
the leaders Of the nation. Not only
is the South as whole spending
more than its income, most Of its
local units are running a local def
cit. And any geographic unit that
is spending more than its income is
in perilous condition"
/ We are accustomed to hearing
stock reasons for the baclwardness
Of the South, many of which center
around the "backwardnesso Of the
| Negro. But latter day economists
| are changing their viewpoint. Mr.
| Coyle asserts:
i "The causes of this economic
| drain can be found, for oratorical
purposes, in the evil days Of Recon
| struction. But in hunting for 9
| remedy, we may as well recognize
that the evil Of economic drain il
| found in many parts Of the NORTH
| and West. 1t has various causes
many Of them connected with the
| difference between agriculture ane
industry. Any remedy that will hell
the South will be likely to help tht
depressed areas in all parts Of th'
country

REPEAL TRACK GAMBLING LAW
Riverside Daily Press
Riverside Da

In the first seven days OF racing at the
santa Anita track a total of s3,50O,0O0 was bst.
Aud this aside from the business done Dy
the pool betting rooms and bookies which seem
10 be flourishing in many cities OF Southern
California. ,,,
II is inconceivable that California can long
stand the economic drain that accompanies
gambling al such a pace.
Men and women gambling the money
that is needed TO provide the necessitieS Oh
life In their homes. Men and women VINO are
drawing public relief gambling to Such an
extent that some public authorities think IL
may be necessary To return TO the issuance Oh
food orders instead of cash. Merchants IN
many communities complain that men and
women gamble on the races instead OF paying
their bills Embezzlement by employees Is IN
creasing.
The people voted for race track gambling
but the legislature passed and the governor
signed the bill that permits hookies to accept
bets on the theory the mopey% will be Wireo
to the tracks. Santa AntaTTaek refuses 70
accept wired bets. but the law is so Loosely
drawn that prosecutors find 1t difficult tt
prove the bets were not sent TO the track anc
conviction is therefore nfrequent
California made a grave error when IL us
tened to the story that its citizens could gamble
themselves into prosperity.
