add up to something that makes no
sense at all. For this deeply dis
turbing state OF affairs one does
not know whom to blame most-the
small and selfish politicians who
take the country in this dangerous
direction because 1t Is the easy way
to get votes. or the unthinking, In
different American people, lulled
into a false sense Of security, who
permit the politicians to do these
things to them.
These new Victory Bonds are still
the worlds best investment. II they
are not good, then nothing is good.
But 1t Is an outrageous thing not
to buttfess them with q sound fiscal
policy and rigid economy. Recently
emerged victorious from a great
war in which We performed miracles
OF production at home and prodigies
OF valor abroad, the manner in
which we are now managing our
domestic affairs makes us appear a
Nation of incurable saps, who, once
the immediate and obvious peril is
passed, sink back into political
lethargy while the chiselers and
demagogues undermine our eco

Protests Unheeded.
The few voices raised in warning
are scarcely heard. Both parties In
Congress, along with the White
House and the Treasury are re-
sponsible for an inexcusable disre-
gard Of realities. And the greater
their intelligence the heavier their
responsibility.
This business of giving something
to every one has been going on for
some time. 1t can be- kept going
for some years more. But to think
that, in the end it will not inflict
dreadful punishment on the people
as a whole Is to ignore human ex-
perience and shut out the facts.
Except that it makes for an un-
disciplined and thriftless people.
this, policy might be all right in
an unshakably solvent nation with
its treasury bursting with surplus
revenue. But, certainly, 1t is a dire
policy for a nation in the fiscal
condition this Nation is today. And
1t Is wicked to encourage the belief
that 1t cen be pursued without great
risk to all.

TWO other facts are added. One is
that the very day the Congress
passed this bill to exempt 12 ,ooo,-

and lop OF nearly SIX billion in

other Is that, though the Federal

reduction in taxes and increase In
debt Is unaccompanied by any cor
responding retrenchment In ex-
penses. The effort on that line is
both puny and phony.
