The national Republican program
committee had gotten busy and
drafted what is heralded to the vot
ers as the I'll major principles"
of the party, and which no doubt
will be the basis for every Republic
can platform written this conven-
ton year Here they are: ID The
United States should keep out of
war; ~ defense forces of the ma
tion should be strengthened so as to
protect the western hemisphere: (3)
trade agreements should be subject
to the approval of congress; "a the
national labor relations act should
be amended and the labor board
overhauled; (5) a farm program
aimed at assuring the farmer of
prices so related to those he pays
that the interchange of goods be-
tween farm and city will be in
creased; (6) government regulation
of business should be protective, not
restrictive; Cd government expend-
lures should be cut 20 per cent;
81 higher surtax rates on individ-
uals should be reduced and govern
ment and state bond issues taxed;
90 emergency presidential none
tary powers should be repealed;
10) adequate relief should be pro-
vided for all in need, but the admin
istration should be entrusted to local
governments; CID social security
legislation should be studied with
a view toward improvement and ex-
pansion.
It's quite program, but the vot-
ers appear to be more interested
right now in, who's going to carry
the banner? Will it be Tom Dewey
of New York, Arthur Vandenberg of
Michigan, George Aiken of Vermont,
Joe Martin of Massachusetts, all of
whom have been getting a little
boom, or will it be some staunch
old liner like Senator Charles Nc
Nary of Oregon, who has long been
the minority leader of the Senate?

Two bills To provide special
methods of disposal of public lands
in the Territory were passed by the
House ON February z.
One of these is to permit the sale
or lease of public lands within Ger
tain sections of the Matanuska Val
ley, including eight sections reserv-
ed for the use of the public schools
of the Territory.
In his report on THE measure, Sec
rotary of the Interior Iekes said,
1T is desired to open to the pros
peCtiye settlers of this region these
lands which. although suitable for
agriculture, lie idle and unpro-
ductive. In a number of instances

lions. are to produce subsistence in
comes. In other cases where public
fanas are available to supplement
farms of insufficient area, certain
of the requirements for homestead
ing make procedure under the
Homestead Act impraeticable Oh
impossible"
The purposes of the bill would be
attained by an exchange of other
lands for those in the Matanuska
Valley which are reserved for sup
port of the public schools, and by
authorizing the Secretary of the In
teriar to lease, or to sell at not les.

authority remained for piling up
any more debt.
That also meant there was no
authority TO switch the debt a
round, and put some in bonds and
some in notes. according to which
was the cheapest for the govern
ment. So, in 1885, with the depres-
sion driving them. the congressman
made the debt a revolving affair.
They said the outstanding debt at
any one time could be $4,000, 000,-
00G. That gave the Treasury a con
slant ceiling, and plenty of room to
make its debts the cheapest way.
The Secretary of the Treasury
told Congress he thought a 45-bil-
lion-dollar ceiling would give him
enough room to save money. There
was very little discussion of how
much the limit ought to be. It was
all a matter of convenience and ne
eessity, of how much leeway the gov
eminent needed
IS Il &
The nub of the whole bueiness is
this: Governments. like people, can,
and have, become bankrupt and re-
pudiated their debts. At what point
will the banks, insurance companies
and citizens begin to shy away from
government bonds and refuse to buy
them, fearing they won't get either
their money or their interest?
Nobody knows Meanwhile, you're
paying $1.O00,OO0.OO0 a year inter
est on public debt And you own a
chunk of it, too.
