offset it against the debt increase,
thus getting the ridiculous figure of
100000 as the net increase.
Actually all the Treasury claims as
the net value to it of recoverable as
sets is slightly more than $4,000, OOO,-
900. Thus looked at in the most fav-
orable light, through the eyes of the
Treasury, the net increase in the debt
SO far under Roosevelt is at least SILL
5O0IOOO,OOO-and not $5,OO0,000,0OO,
as Senator Barley says. But what is
Sc, 5O0,OOO,0OO, one way on the other
to a New Dealer?
Of course it is very doubtful that
the Treasury will ever salvage $4,000
100000 or anything like it, out of the
loans the New Deal has made. For in
stance, included in those so-called as
sets is some SAT-, 100000 owed by the
railroads, many of them already in
receivership with others headed there.
If this Administration lets the rail
roads ego through the wringer," as
it now proposes to do, does anyone i'll
his right mind suppose that all Of this
SAT- 100000 will ever be recovered?
Still another aspect Of the matter
is that the New Deal has dissipated
it's so-called recoverable assets as fast
as they have been realized. AS loans
have been repaid, the Treasury uses
this money-not for debt retirement
but for current expenses, including
boondoggling projects. Actually many
millions of dollars loaned by RFC dur
ing the Hoover days have been repaid
and spent by the New Deal. Thus a
part of the increase in the debt under
Hoover actually has been spent beyond
recovery by the New Deal. Yet by
tricky bookkeeping it is charged to
him
The President at Atlanta, Ga, in De-
cember, 1885, spoke about the nearly
q ~ DllllOIl uOllilS VI ISCONSl dDlC DO
sets which the Government is going
to get back over a period of years, and
as we get it back we are going to re-
tire the national debt with it,
Of course the New Deal has not
used such funds-or, for that matter,
any funds-for retiring any part of
the national debt. Senator Barley
only echoes his masters voice but, in
his zeal to be a eyes man" to the
White House, he more than doubles
the figure named by the President.
Dear Alben" in his speech said he
was out of sympathy with those PEG
pie who constantly harp on the in
creasing debt. We are not surprised.
He never has shown any sympathy
for the men and women who have con-
tributed toward paying for New Deal
extravagances through taxes on the
necessities of life. Senator Barley ap-
parently thinks anyone who talks
about debts or taxes is reactionary,
ar old fogey. New Dealers are above
such things!

Immense japanese superiority in
armament has been the decisive factor
in the fighting of recent days. Again
rs so often in the past, it was the
merciless rain of heavy explosives
and not the individual prowess of
the Japanese soldiers which made
possible their landings near Kiukiane
and finally their conquest of that
historic port city.
Eleventh-hour efforts of Chinese

come down off their mountain-top

other features designed to attract
men into the service

evacuation plans were protective
measures for persons who must re-

Mr.. Hore- Belisha who already has
shaken up the army at the top by
retiring some old officers, announced
these new steps to make the service
branches more popular and demo-
cratic:
Lower retirement ages and higher
retirement pay.
Increased service pay with faster
promotions based on time rather than
vacancies.
Creation of officers from the ranks
without regard to whether they had

eventualities.
Details jealousy Guarded.
Reporting another country's military
activities is delicate task at best. and
the details Of these activities are even
more jealousy guarded here than they
are everywhere else in the world.
Certain raw materials are being stored
here and elsewhere, it appears, and
the fortificatio OF the frontier with

BY DEWITT MACKENZIE.

Associated Press Foreign Affairs Writer
NEW YORK, July 28.-The French
press is bandying hot words over
whether Nine. lie Brun, wife OF the
President. did right when she curt
sled to Queen Elizabeth of England
the other day on the latters arrival
in Paris with King George.
Was that bending of a knee a
tacit admission that Britain is
Frances superior? Did it constitute
a smutch on the escutcheon of re-
publicanism? Is the Presidents wife
the equal Of Queen?
The argument ought to be of con-
siderable interest in this country. since
there are few nationalities who can
outsprint some OF us in q race to
catch glimpse of royalty.
One naturally is reminded of the
hundreds Of American matrons and
debutantes who yearly have entreated
the United States Embassy in Lon
don with tears and Establishments for
invitations to make obeisance in the
royal courts. American Ambassador
Kennedy abolished wholesale court
presentation this year on the ground
that they were undemocratic.
Social Upheavals Here.
We also have had our little diff
culties at home as witness the great
social upheaval in Washington back in
1929, involving the status of Mrs. Ed
ward Everett Gam, sister and Official
hostess of Vice President Curtis. Mr..
Curtis insisted that she be given the
recognition which normally would be
accorded the wife of Vice President.
She finally was awarded that rank,
too, though at the cost OF many heart
burnings and more than a few testy
words from the opposition.
1t is matter Of self-congra tula-
ton that one doesn't have to settle
this French dispute, which presents
such burning issue that it has in
some degree distracted public atten-
tion from the possibilities of another
world war. Were it not being taken
