be negligible.

"A debt stands around S130.-
000.000,000, and we are adding
to t~at the rate of S70,000,000.-
000N a year. This means we
probably will hit the 5000 600
100000 mark early next sum-
mer, and that We VIII get up 10
something like 100000, 009 900
by the end of 1915.
Assuming that the war ends
in 1915, and allowing an extra
S50,000,0O0 10000 for tapering off.
we are likely to come out of il
with total debt somewhere
between 100000, 100000 and
$350OOO.000,000.
As soon as we start shifting

what it intends TO do about re-
tirement, refunding and annual
interest charges,
II it wants 10 pay off part of
the debt. 1t viii have to levy
taxes to raise the money. To
make any sort of dent IN the
total it would have 10 transfer
AT least S3.000.000.000 a year
from taxpayers TO bondholderS.
This would mean a broad-scale
redistribution of income and
wealth.
Whether il was planned or
CapriclouS would depend on how
we'll the government realized
what 1t was doing
OWEN more important than

of handling the annual interest
charges. The government won't
have to undertake a program Of
debt retirement unless it wants

arguments that probably Will
discourage it,
For one thing. heavy debt re-
tirement is defationary, and IN
the critical years after the war,
violent deflatlon will be the last
thing any government wants.
Moreover. a convenient thing
about national debts is that

IN LAYING out their blue
i prints for the world TO come,
postwar planners are inclined
to brush aside two troublesome
questions of fiscal policy
One concerns the national
debt and the annual service
charges on it. The other deals
with the amount of revenue the
government will need in post
war years.
It's easy TO overlook these
financial problems, because,
since the start of the war, most
economic thinking has been IN
real terms-ln tons of steel
square feet of factory floor
space, man-hours of employ
ment.
Direct controls, such As ra-
tionlng. wage freezing and
scheduling of production, have
overshadowed the indirect pres
SureS the government eXerts in
the course of raising money and
spending IT,
This approach may be all
right as long as We are dealing
with the wartime economy, but
planners, both amateur and
professional. are due for a shock
if they leave government finance
out of their postwar calcula-
tons.
DIRECT controls are the big
~ thing today, but 1t doesn't
follow that. in abolishing them,
federal authorities will surren-
der their power over income,
production and consumption.
Instead, the size Of the ma
tional debt and the estimated
need for revenue make it clear
that. after the war. govern
ment fiscal policy will be one of
the dominating factors in the
country's economic and social
life.
The effects of government
taxing and spending always
tend TO shift the balance in an
economy Inevitably they take
income from one group and give
il 10 another. As long as the
government operates on a COM
paratively small scale, this shift
passes unnoticed, but its I'M
portance grows with every in
crease in the states share Of
national income Fiscal policy
is neutral only when II IS neg
lgble
At this stage Of the game, il
is impossible TO tell much about

Bureaucracy Divided

Bureaucracy Divided
THE New Deal administration appears to be breaking
up into series Of Drawing bureaucratic camps,
II is ironical that President Roosevelt should have
said in his letter accepting the resignation OF War
Food Administrator Chester Davis
81 am sure You will agree with me that effective team
work is absolutely necessary"
THE situation which has compelled the resignation of
l Mr. Davis situation resulting from comforting
responsibility for vital tasks upon capable men without
delccating adequate authority 10 them-was IN Itself
devastating evidence that effective teamwork within the
political structure of the New Deal is impossible
And on the heels of that significant incident has now
come the spectacle Of the New Deal vice president of the
United States-who was roundy and heartily booed by
the Chicago convention which nominated him in 1910
shriekinc like fshvfe the and capable secre
tary of commerce.
Mr. Wallace has made himself thoroughly ridiculous
by complaining of the tactics of hamsrngng bureauc-
racy' which he charges against Secretary Jones.
Mr.. WALLACE is perfect example of the evil of
IFI hamstringing bureaucracy in government
As secretary of agriculture he the net of pohti
cal bureaucracy in which the country enmeshed
and confused that the New Deal was able to preserve
1t was the power of a hamsringing bureaucracy that
compelled the nomination of Mr. Wallace at Chicago over
the bitter and vocerous objections of the convention
Mr. Wallace, always ridiculous, has made himself
doubly ridiculous, and has exposed not only his in
competence but the bad judgment of the President in
tanning his nomination down the Threats of protesting

Young men to be drafted into the armed services.
The American people have accepted the necessity for

burdens and debts upon the country.
The American people have consented to unprecedented
taxes for the war even the arbitrary and conscaory
withholding of wages.
American industry has put war needs ahead OF all
other considerations
1UT the American GOVERNMENT, insofar as the New
y Deal administration represents It, has made WAR
NEEDS SECONDARY TO POLITICAL NEEDS and to
personal aggrandzement-and is not capable of
competent Job in that respect.
President Roosevelt is right that teamwork IN gcv-
eminent is absolutely necessary for the war.
Vice President Wallace is right that a hamstrlngng
bureaucracy is obstruction to the war.
But their responsibility for lack of teamwork and
for bungng bureaucracy is too obvious and too clearly
