Be Alert But Don't Worry
Advice From Roger Babson

Lake Wales. Florida, Jan. .3-The
size OF the national debt is making
many readers shiver. They wonder
II their savings bank accounts are
safe. They are concerned over
their U. S. Savings bonds. They
are confused over the term ma
tional Income" Some wonder what
the relationship is between national
income and national debt Will ul-
timately national income rise and
wipe out the national debt? Such
questions, including initiation, are
disturbing too many people. In or
der that readers may avoid needless
worry, ! will today discuss these
subjects.
National Debt and Initiation
Our national debt is approaching
the present limit OF $4,000, 000. 900.
This limit. however, is bound to be
raised. Some say a nations ex-
penses cannot long exceed Its in
come any more than can an individ-
ual continue to fall deeper and deep
er into debt without becoming in
solvent. But, are these cases really
similar? Notes OF corporations and
individuals are usualaly held by
hard-boiled banks. Today, banks
are large holders OF government
notes and bonds. Their attitude
toward their government, for patri-
otto and other, reasons, is more
lenient than toward corporation
or an individual. Insurance COM
panies and individuals also hold
quantities Of government paper.
Until these groups refuse to longer
hold these securities or buy new
issues. there need be little fear of
insolvency.
England is perhaps spending $780,
100000 a day We have just started
to spend. II the war lasts five years,
regardless OF our participation, we
might double our present national
debt. However, while our national
debt is increasing, private debts are
decreasing. Consider also that COM
mercial paper rates are I'll per
cent; commercial bank loans 1-3
per cent; savings bank interest Is
OF per cent; mortgage rates are As
per cent. Corporation indebtedness
is continually being refunded at
lower rates. Ii is costing a corpora
ton, as well as a small business
man, less to maintain working cap
ital today and to remain solvent
than ever before.
National Income and Savings
Our national income is running
at the rate OF 74-75 billion. This Is
the total income of individuals from
all sources. 1t does not include
profits from security sales, real
estate, or other business transac-
tions. 1t is simply income from
salaries, wages. rents, dividends,
interest, and various services rem
dered. 1t does not include corporate
income. 1t has nothing to do with
the income of our gvernment from
taxation or other sources. Our fed.
eral taxes are derived from nation
al income. This is why the Presi-
dent is so anxious to see our ma
tional income raised to so, or even
100, billion.
Savings invested in L. s. Baby
bonds are as safe as any investment
can be today. They are the only in
vestment in the world which will
not shink in dollar value. What our
dollar may be worth in terms Of

goods as these bonds mature, no
one knows. These bonds, however,
purchased at a discount, automatic
ally increase in dollar value,
through accumulated interest at 20
per cent per year. A 500 bond costs
only SIS. Ten years hence you will
be paid off at par. namely 500. At
any time after the first ye you
can turn the bond in at most post
offices and get your principal back
plus accumulated interest. Yet,
even these are not Initiation" proof.
What 10 Inflation7
There are many definitions OF in
flation. My favorite illustration is
that OF a rubber band. Hold the two
ends between the thumb and fin
gers OF each hand so that the mid
die OF the band will be slack and
roughly in the shape of a U. This
u slack represents unemployment
and idle plant capacity. While hold
ing to each end OF the rubber band,
draw your hands slowly apart. The
u will rise and gradually flatten
out as the rubber band becomes
taut. This tightening OF the slack
represents the employment OF more
people aud & greater percentage OF
plant operation.
As people become fully employed,
further pressure is exerted upon
upon the initiation band. Factors
outside OF employment begin to
show their influences. These are
rises in pay rolls. increases in food
costs, greater activity in real estate
and stocks. Further tension is added
to the band as productive capacities
are reached. Then the rubber band
begins to stretch and initiation
starts. Finally, time comes when
goods cannot be made fast enough
to supply consumer purchasers.
prices climb and real initiation has
arrived. The rubber band continues
to stretch until 1t finally snaps.
This is a panic.
cannot see any danger from in
flation while millions are still I'M
employed and so much plant capa-
city Is idle. Even in England with
the effects OF actual warfare being
felt daily-where you would sup
pose that for defense purposes
every able bodied man would be
working-there is still plenty of I'M
employment. In our own country,
in spite of vast numbers returning
to work, there are still 6,50O,OOO
unemployed. We have not yet taken
up our normal unemployment slack
of to 100000. When we do this,
will begin to worry about infla-
ton. We still have a long way to
go in providing jobs. The draft,
plus enlistments in the army and
navy, is releasing relatively few
jobs for our present unemployed.
But some day real initiation will ap-
pear on the horizon. Before that
happens | will try to warn you all
through this column.
