sponsible for these things. In fact even the
Indians had them!
The point is that in addition to man-power
and natural resources, we have to have capital
goods and business enterprise. Otherwise, there
could be no American standard Of living such
as we now enjoy. And this capital and enter
prise will not and cannot function effectively
unless saving, investment and business skill are
duly rewarded.
AS the debt piles up the time comes when it
must be paid or repudiated. It can't be paid
in terms of health or fertility or climate. 1t
must be paid in money or other economically
valuable goods. Wishes. good intentions and
cheerful smiles do not butter any parsnips.'
AS matter of fact, most Of our public debt
is being incurred for non-productive purposes.
Assuming that it is to be paid, it is eating up
our savings, burdening our productive plant and
equipment, and threatening all business enter
prise. 1t means abnormal taxes and monetary
uncertainty.

BOY STOWAWAY
STIRS PROBLEM

Fifteen-year-old Pedro Sanchez
Machin innocently touched off an
international question when he
slowed away in Havana recently
on the Brazilian training ship AL
mirante Saldanha, now visiting
American ports.
Pedro cannot be landed in this
country, under immigration law,
but the Brazilian commander, un-
der the same law, is immune from
the heavy fine imposed on ship
commanders for allowing foreign
stowaways to land because his YES
sci is a part of the Brazilian navy.
The plan is to permit Pedro to
accompany the ship to New York
where he will be removed to Ellis
Island until the Cuban govern
ment provides funds for his pas
sage back to Havana. The Cuban
officials here said Pedro's steam
ship fare home will not be ad-
vanced until the Havana author.

QUT maybe Mr.. Roosevelt does not intend that

he tells us we should not worry about the

There is another side of the picture-one that

and the blows dealt in thrift and enterprise.
This is the moral side.
