ers of several billion dollars of
low-income bonds sold during
World War II and, by so doing,
to give these owners a sufficient
annual income to keep them as
owners of Government secur-
tiles for many years.
The representatives, I as
sumo, are entirely sincere in
their criticisms. But I presume,
as a student of Government f.
nance, to criticize them right
back as way off base. And if
there is a large dose of politics
in their denunciations, SUBJ
NIT that proper management
of the public debt is entirely too
crucial to our ability to control
future inflations and to the
soundnesS of the dollar to be
dragged into campaign politics.
Offer Due Soon
The Treasury has not yet
made it's bond offer. But an
offer is scheduled soon; so here
is the tale.
In the 1940s. the Treasury
sold billions of dollars of bonds
paying 21a per cent interest a
year, costing $1,000 per bond
and due to be paid off in the
late 1960s and early 1970s at
81, 900 per bond. These 212s
were bought up by financial in
stitutions, trusts, individuals,
etc.
AS interest rates have risen
in recent years to the point
where even an ordinary savings
bank depositor can get more
than 212 per cent interest, these
war-issued bonds have fallen
far below their issue price.
Their original buyers are ex-
tremely unhappy about their
ownership, but most are locked
in" either because they don't
want to or can't afford to take
the loss involved in a sale. AS
the securities near their ma
turity dates and rise back
toward $1,000 a bond, they'll
unload as fast as they can.
Trendshave turned in the
Treasury's favor as a result OF
the showdown in business, the
easing of money. Under today's
tax laws, regulations and in
terest rate structure, Mr.. An
derson finally can issue new
bonds maturing years from now
and coax holders of the 21as
to exchange into them now
and stay indefinitely in United
States securities.
No New Borrowing
/ The Treasury won't be bor-
rowing new cash and absorbing
funds that might go into home
or business loans and stimulate
the economy; it is exchanging
one bond for another. 1t doesn't
have to issue much higher cou-
pom bonds to get results; many
owners of the 21as will willing
ly replace them with 3A or 8 1a
Der cent bonds.
The Democratic critics charge
that this will add to the cost of
the debt. Yes, but the added
cost is dwarfed by the advan-
tages of the move. They charge
the Treasury is voluntarily
paying a higher rate. Yes, but
that's essential if the Treasury
is to keep bona fide investors
in it's securities-and actually,
it's only fair to the investors.
If you own any of these
World War II bonds, get in
touch with your banker at once,
tell him so, ask him to inform
you if and when an exchange
offer is made for your bonds SO
you can make an intelligent de-
cision on what's the most ad-
vantageous move for you.

United States history Is in
cluded In the French high
school curriculum, so history
courses take top priority for
exchange students along with
further English studies.
High school in Mclean dif-
fers enormously from school
in France. Claude points out
that coeducation Is the most
noticeable difference and that
the classes are much larger.
In France there are no stu
dent government associations
and no social functions for
mixed groups Of boys and
girls.
School work and homework
are perhaps no more difflcult
in Frances there is Just more
Of each. Explains Claude,
by the time we finished all
Of our assignments, the day
was over"
With all this emphasis on
school work, French students
lack the school spirit so evi-
dent in American schools.
Claude has also noticed a
great difference between
French and American teach
ers. Discipline in France is
strict. and the attitude to-
ward the French pupil Is that
he is in school for education
and nothing else. Says
Claude, "At home the teach
ers are not necessarily your
friends"

So it is that Claude is wide
eyed at the number Of club

Professional politicians eX-
press privately the fear that
there may be more than the
usual apathy among the vot-
ers next November. This may
be due, they say, because
the presidential hopefuls are
playing the same old worm
out records to the effect that
under their guidance every
section of the public will get
everything and more than it
does at present. None of the
candidates is prepared to
specify the real troubles
which lie ahead of the Ma
tion-except in the field of
foreign affairs. And even in
that many of the real dan
gers are being swept under
the rug.
Before 1910, wins ton
Churchill was a colorful but
to a great extent diScredited
political figure. His failure at
the Dardanelles during World
War l had not been forgot
ten. His warnings after 1886
about the Nazi menace were
ridiculed. His opponents de-
scrlbed the puckiSh Winston
as a jlngoiStic politician bent
on embarrassing the govern
ment. But in 1910 he inspired
the people of Britain and the
Empire with the now histori-
cal sentence, "All l can offer
you is blood, toll, tears and
sweat"
There is, of course, no sim
ilarity between our present
position and that of belea-
guered Britain in 1910.
All the same. any of the
candidates seeking election
to the most burdensome and
responsible position in the
world, who would choose to
be candid with the Amer
ican people and tell them
frankly about the dangers
and the pitfalls this Nation
is facing in the next few
years instead of promising
the economic and social mil
lennium, would at least rouse
the interest of the electorate.
He might risk being called at
first a Cassandra. But the
unvarnished truth told in
time seeps into the masses.
Few people want to realize
that we are still leading the
pToverbial sailors life inso-
far as the expenditure of
public funds is concerned.

it is not. An hour of prime

Panama Defeat
Seen for Arias

Unofficial reports circulated
here today that Ricardo Arias
ESpinosa, a former Ambassador
to Washington. was defeated
in his bid for the presidency OF
Panama in the election held
Sunday.
The results of the voting
have not been announced. The
National Election Inspection
Board said it would disclose the
outcome Saturday. Neverthe-
less, a number of Mr.. Arias'
hackers have conceded he was
beaten narrowly by Roberto
CHAR, a wealthy sugar grower
This would be an upset, for
Mr.. AriaS was supported by the
present administration, headed
by President Ernesto de la
'Guardia, jr.
The Presidents brother, Am
basSador Erasmo de la Guardia,
issued a statement in Washing
ton today to explain the delay
in the election announcement.
He said some news dispatches
printed in the United States
have referred enormously to a
'blackout" on the results of
Sundays voting. He said the
procedure being followed by
the electoral board is in accord
with the new election laws.
The Ambassador said further
that calm prevails throughout
Panama. Earlier this week,
fears had been expressed in
that country that dangerous
tensions would build up be-
cause of the postponement of
the ballot-counting.
In the earliest reported re-
turns, Mr. AriaS had a 200-vote

act because there is no unan-

benefit if merely the COM
pany acted, as eventually all
must. But there is no anti
trust act which applies to
concerted self interest, and,
if we cannot somehow man
age a genuine public philoS-
ophy on the part of big busi-
ness and big labor, then the
American system of competi-
ton will be less and less able
to function as conceived in
the exploding population and
the concentrations of it.
Hence, the managers of
commercial television have
done more than react to pub

OF skeletons in it's closets.
