WHY SOME ECONOMISTS WORRY

Some of the nations economists are
worrying because the consumer debt to-
tai has reached an all-time high and will
probably pass beyond the $4,000, 100000
mark by the end of the year.
Somewhat offsetting this information
is the news, contained in Federal Re-
serve bulletin, that personal savings in
1913 were $4,000, 100000 and that the
first half of this year showed that people
were saving money at the rate of $16,000,-
100000 a year.
An additional reassuring fact comes
from the Federal Reserve Board, which
estimates personal income in 1948 at
around $4,000, 200, 900. Viewed in rela-
ton TO this income, the debt of consum-
ers is less prOportionately than in 1889,
when II was eleven per cent of personal
income.
Issuing a warning, however, is Mar
riner S. Eccles, member of the Federal
Reserve Board, who calls attention to the
excessively rapid growth in consumer
credit" and terms it an inflationary factor.
lie points out that it exists alongside an
increase in state and municipal debt, a $5,-
coo. OOO. 900 Federal deficit, the approach
ing refund Of veterans Insurance which
will amount to $4,000, 100000 and the
price-sustaining farm support policy.
Some observers point out that the in
crease in the number of,lworkers who are
protected by pensions upon retirement
naturally leads them to buy higher-priced
products on the installment plan, since
they have less reason to save ''for a rainy
day."

THOUGHTS ABOUT PEACE

A. christmas approaches, the minds
Of our people naturally turn to thoughts OF
neace-"Peace on earth and goodwin To-
ward men," And yet, thoughtful people
realize that there is no peace IN the
world
Three or four hundred years ago,
there might have been some excuse 1or a
nation to isolate itself from the rest OF the
world and attempt to iisulate Itself from on
the troubles which beset other peoples.
However, the development ofa.modefn
civilization, and particularly, the RAPID
strides made in COMMUNICATIONS and trans
nortation. have altered the conditions
under which men live. We must accept
the fact that we cannot live, prosper or de-
velop apart from the other people IN the
world.
Even in the face of the present crisis
in world affairs, the people OF the United
States look forward to day when wars
shall cease. Recognizing warfare as an
evil to humanity, they resolutely deter
mine that, as far as we as a nation are
concerned, we will do nothing to plunge
the world INTO aHOtHcK nlS1ot4O pa SS-tt1AASs'
Just as it takes two to make q quarrel,
it requires the cooperation Of all to main
tain peace. Regardless of the peaceful
intentions of any people, the continuance
of peace depends upon ghbor-nations
We are very anxious for peace in the
world. We will pass any number of reso-
lutions affirming our love of peace. We
want peace, we hope for peace and we
are ready to pray for peace. But, in gen.
eral, the people of this country are not
ready to pay the price for peace.
What is the price that we must pay
for world peace? In part, it involves the
surrender of extreme nationalisfn, will
ingness to cooperate with other peoples,
a tolerant understanding of the problems
of others and desire to help other peo-
pie by sharing with them the fruits and
blessings of civilization.

IDENTIFYING SOME EXPERTS"

Bruce Barton, in newspaper feature,
expresses his resentment over the habit

We cannot suspect that Mr.. Barton

for calling the readers attention to the
