MERE DEBT

In reality. however government
bonds and bank deposits in excess
of standard money and loans for
productive purposes are mere debt.
The bonds are the debt Of the
public.
The excess deposits are the
liabilities OF The pubhc's banks.
Neither ha, any security or back
INK IN earning assets Both are
merely claims against the general
income Of the people
Bonds are truly liquid only if
they can be sold or liquidated. But
today the fear that people may
sell their bonds 10 the banks and
thus throw off one disguise Of
Imitation IS too obvious 10 need
comment.
Deposits are truly liquid only if
they can be or turned over. But
today any normal turnover OF
bank deposits would bring a vol
canic price upheaval t-1at no one
could help but call inflationary.

Initiation Hits
Nation Through
Many DISCUSSES
By LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics. y. \. University
one reason why imitation
whatever YOU may mean by that
term is a certainty is that the
thing has so many different dis
gulSes. II may be and now u.s..
actually IN our midst without be-
ing recognized by many observers.
II IS creeping through our lives
without being seen by those who
are supposed TO be doing picket
duty against n.
The situation is made more
difficult y the fact that so many
people really do want imitation,
although they want it by some
other name. Debtors, people who
have property 10 sell for spccula-
tive gains, and seekers OF sun-
sides are easily deceived by
initiation in disguise.

volume Of bank deposits which

u. s. WILL SELL
SOME PROPERTY

WASHINGTON. July 23-IR-The
government will follow policy
of selling its surplus real estate
in familysize parcels and to farm
purchasers VINO will cultivate the
land themselves, W. L. Clayton,
Surplus War Property adminlstra-
tor, announced today.
The statement replied in part
to criticism of the surplus farm
land disposal program by James
C. Patton, president of the Ma
tional Farmers union.
Patton in a statement two weeks
ago opposed assignment of the
sales job to the Reconstruction
Finance corporation, predicting
domination of the disposal pro.
gram by the National Association
of Real Estate Boards and further
control of agriculture by big in
terests.
The government has acquired
large acreages of land for war
purposes which it will not need
when hostilities end.
Clayton, in an outline Of gen
eral policies to be followed by the
RFC on real estate other than in
dustrial property, set forth these
additional detectives:
