| ing its way out Of a devastating
wartime imitation. This repudi-
alton was as recent as 1857.
The explanation was simply
that Mr.. Khrushchev didn't
want to risk more inflationary
pressures. So he wiped out the
savings the USSR's citizens
might have tried to spend for
scarce goods.
There are so many vital dis
Itinctions between our systems
that this one, illustration may
seem relatively minor.
But it takes on particularly
dramatic significance in this
September of 1859 because of
the way our Government is
struggling to handle its debts
to us fairly and soundly.
Millions of us own billions of
dollars of United States saw

institutions own billions of
United States securities. All
these securities were bought
voluntarily by us: all bear our

As Soviet Premier Khru-

may get into a running debate
With the senior American Off

the United Nations. Probably
Mr.. Khrushchev will offer
barbed comment about our key
economic problems-the high
cost Of living and fear of more

cost of carrying it.
Perhaps, at some time, Mr..
Lodge will seize the chance to
throw back at Mr.. Khrushchev
one date: April 10, 1857.
For it was on that day that
Mr.. Khrushchev revealed that
the Soviet government had

Mr.. Khrushchev announced to
the USSR's millions in the
spring of 1857 was the post
ponement of all interest and
any payment Of principal due
on 260 billion rubles of out
standing Soviet bonds to 1878
