instance, raised the arresting ques
tion in a recent speech of whether
the leadership America is being
asked to assume in the future world
"carries with it the obligation to do
TOO MUCH toward that world re-
Mobilization +"
"There is abroad in the land"
said Senator Hart, "too much of a
feeling that lDe are poWerful and
strong enough to do almost ANY
THING for the rest of the World,
that America can continue to pour
out its strength, that il is our plain
duty to do so, and that in short no
outside burden is too great for us to
undertake"
eve wiH be Wiser," he urged,
eft we keep a reasonable estimate of
our ABILITY to carry burdens more
firmly in mind than is indicated by
much of What is being said and
,Dritten these days"
SENATOR BYRD of Virginia, for
~ another instance, reported that
our national debt under the 1916
budget will be raised to within less
than eight billion dollars of the
present legal limit of three hundred
billions, and commented:
Some one Will haUe to realize
before long that there is a BOTTOM
to the money barrel :.
81 wonder if the people, Who
must eventually proUide the taxes to
pay for this spending, realize just
hoW deeply the country is becoming
financially inUoiUed."
The Am erican people had
BETTER realize it, because New
Deal spending is leading them TO-
ward the disaster of national bank
ruptcy in exactly the same manner
that New Deal meddling and bun
Cling led them toward war-and if
they are not careful, the New Deal
will lead them INTO bankruptcy as
surely as it led them into war.

America Can't Feed WOrId'
By BENJAMIN De CASSERES

nID the United States lose the war in
~ Europe or win it?
Are we going on indefinitely paying
what looks like PREPARATIONS to Russia
and the rest of Europe in the shape of
food and money instead of collecting
something on our own account?
When we are told, as we have been,
that WE will be compelled to suffer greater
rivations-particularly in food-for the
next two years because Europe from
Siberia to the Channel must be put on
its feet" then it begins to look as If we
had LOST THE WAR and the victors
were demanding Of us to pay for the dam
age we'd done.
Will we also be asked by the senti-
mentalists and globalunatics among us to-
pay reparatons in food and money to
Japan after we have conquered her?
WE NATURALLY do not want to see
w whole nations starve, but what
nation ever cared whether WE starved
or went broke?
Who ever heard of any kind of
"drive" in Europe or Asia for disaster
in America?
america can't feed the world. We've
got to make that clear and positive from
the outset or we are inviting an awful lot
of Misunderstanding, trouble and i'll will"
says Secretary of Agriculture Anderson.
TROUBLE AND ILL WILL"-that
is precisely where our big-heartedness is

reasoning, both the defeated and victori-
Gus countries of Europe have resolved
to make us the whipping boy for all

THE lend lease policies of the New
- Deal government seem to be lead
ing the country into bankruptcy as
surely as the interventioniSt policies
of the New Deal led the country into
a war which it was not prepared to
fight.
It is we'll remembered how sagely
and confidently the New Deal spokes-
men pledged that their policies
would keep America OUT of war;
and how we were nevertheless drawn
into the war.
The record of New Deal lend
lease policies has followed the same
laundering and irresponsible pattern.
"a The original pledges made under
the lend lease program were not to
exceed seven billion dollars, which
we were blithely told was to be its
maximum cost.
pY THE end of 1914, our actual
- expenditures under the lend-lease
program had exceeded thirty FIVE bill
lion dollars.
While our further expenditures
under the program have not been
confded TO us, the British have made
known their needs for nearly six
billions, and the French for nearly
three billions, and the Russians for
more than six billions-and whether
it is intended that these additional
and enormous disbursements are to
be called lend-lease or something
else, it is the plain intention of the
New Deal and the ominous prospect
of the country that at least twenty
five MORE billions of dollars are due
to be syphoned out of the country in
foreign gifts.
There have been several notable
and courageous voices raised
AGAINST our blind progression to.
ward national bankruptcy in this
manner.
