PIol Horse Sense

From the AbileS tKans) Reflector Chronicle
AS sedate to numb fear of public
debt. we has been repeatedly told not
to worry as te result of huge national
debt, for afts all we owe the money to
ourselves.
Harold G. Dulton, head of the Brook
ings Institute kicked the theory Of lowe
it to yourself into a cooked hat in a
recent bookleI entitled, "The New Phi
losophy Of P1lic Debt. He shows that
those who pal taxes to support the debt
are not idential with those who receive
the interest d the debt or the Govern
ment's checksFhich make the debt pos
sible.
While the pSple as a nation may owe
the debt to tfSnselves, the man who Is
taxed to pay'he interest on the debt
will soon and lat the tax collector will
take his shirtx he does not pay his
taxes, to pay ir1rest on debt which he
"owes to hims&." DR.. Moulton insists
that deficit speSling and unlimited pub
lie debt lead eiIer to totalitarianism or
to debt scalinehown or debt repudia-
ton.
His analysis ) just plain horse sense
which the maifity Of people understood
until they Wereed into an era Of think
ing that prosrkiH could be created BY
printing the imp continuously with
public funds.

Seeds of Disunity?

The Republican Postwar Policy As
ISOLATION and the Republican Post
war Advisory Council, unfortunately
for the G. o. P, are having a
Kilkenny cat affair. The associa-
ton, which was started first by an
energetic young Chicago attorney,
Deneen Watson, and which has held
two regional meetings, one in the
midwest and the other in New York,
believes it has a real mission to
perform-the translation of the rank
and file of the Republican party,
and more particularly of some OF the
party leaders-from prewar isola-
tionism to present day interna-
tionalism.
The council, composed of Repub-
lican Governors, members of Con-
gress and of the Republican National
Committee, was appointed by Ma
tional Committee Chairman Spangler
to advise" the national committee
on foreign and domestic planks to be
inserted in the next Republican plat
form. Up to date, Chairman Span
gler takes the position that these
eminent Republicans. all Of whom
have been elected to ONCE, will ga
ahead with their program with Of

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. Trace,Ueu.
The doctor has ordered, etc.

The doctor has ordered, etc.
Generally the office mates give in to
such one and sit around for the rest
of the day painting for breath.
1t Is true that a direct draft will
give some persons cold; that is, 1t
will put the skin in such a condition
Of chill that it will allow inimical germs
present to grow and multiply
The seats next to the windows get
the most air, of course, and persons in
those seats must expect to be blown
around q bit.
One of the odd facts OF city life
Is that bus windows will 60 down easily
but are very difficult to raise. We suspect
that sometimes passengers lower win
dows just to show themselves that
they can make the pesky affairs move.
So the first passengers of the day,
feeling the breeze, put them down,
and nobody is able to get them up
thereafter
We have often witnessed hardy per-
sons struggle, generally unsuccessfully,
to get them up. The soul of the peo-
pie must be right, when they work so
hard for nothing.
They must sit and watch those mil
lions of cubic feet of cool air rush
past, knowing that not a dron of it
will be theirs until they come to the
getting-of place, their getting of place
which, of course, is the most important
getting-on place on the line.

Many persons confined to Offices
every day would benefit from the sun
shine and fresh air they can get in
riding down to work and back
1t Is possible to get a seat ION the
sunny side" and then, If the window
Is open, one will not suffer from the
heat
This is slower than sitting in the
sun for hours at time, but over a
spring and summer will work up quite
respectable TAM
No one, we believe, except on a doc
tors orders, should wear dark glasses.
This is one of the foolish fads which
sweep nation. from time to time.
Human eyes were made for light. They
are. In their very essence, light organs
and nothing else.
Only bats and owls and nocturnal
animals enjoy the darkness.
The sure way to injure the eyes is
to put binders on them, and deprive
them OF the stimulation of that which
they were made to handle in q most
marvellous fashion.
We agree with our correspondent that
this Is an insane practice
We have no doubt that this was one
OF the things which made the Axis
look upon us as soft and declining
people. CBut We fooled 'emD
Many persons who shrink from the
hrst touch Of fresh air would find. if
they sat 1t out for few minutes that
the first touch is the worst, From
then on, the others are USUALLY
enjoyable

by the Secretary Of State, acting for
the President. The incredible thing
Is that this evidently has not been
the case until the owl fumbled a
foreign broadcast concerning "the
moronic little King" of Italy and
brought rebuke from the President.
Robert E. Sherwood, director OF the
Overseas Operations Branch of owl,
conferred with Secretary Hull yes
terday and indicated afterward that
everything was now understood. But
why was this not done in the first
place? owl has made a number of
mistakes, which it has been COM
mendably frank In admitting, in the
past. But an odd thing about Owl
mistakes is that the top men never
seem to have realized they were
mistakes until somebody else told
them so.

the support of the associa-

without the support of the associa-
ton.
The clash and jealousies which
have arisen between the two or
CARNATIONS were evident at the
meeting between Mr.. Watson's COM
mittee and Chairman Spangler on
Tuesday. Mr.. Spangler indicated
plainly enough that his advisory
council would not be brow-beaten
into a foreign policy for the G. o. P.
by the association. The attitude of
the representatives of the associa-
ton, on the other hand, obviously
reflected an insistence that the Ad-
visory Council and Mr.. Spangler
would take what the association had
to give-like it or not.
Both the council and the associa-
ton. have valuable duties to per-
form for the Republican party, and
they can cooperate if they will.
If personalities and ambitions can
be submerged the two may yet work
together. The primate motive of
the association, as announced, is to
educate the rank and file of the
Republican voters to the need of
strong international cooperation by
the United States, after the war
shall have been won, to maintain
peace in the world. If, however, the
association becomes involved in
particular candidates. for the presi-
Dental nomination of the Repub-
lican party-the fat will be in the
fire In big way. It has been
charged, and denied, that the as
ISOLATION already is tied in with
the Willkie candidacy. There are
other possible candidates besides Mr..
Willkie who do not wish the Repub-
lican party to sink back into isola-
tionism. But unless the party main
tains unity within its own ranks.
the selection of nominee may not
be SO important after all.
