There are millions who eat-uji Trumanism but reports indicate that he is not drawing the crowds he did four years ago when he promised the people of the West, especially farmers, every thing under high heaven. When Stevenson received the nom ination with Truman’s nod he said he didn’t want it. That was all bunk for from the day he was nominated he has shown how intent his ambition is to succeed Truman, and to what extent he has compromised princi ples and his stand on vital issues in the hope of winning certain vote sup port. He is pleased, we are sure, that Truman’s whistle stop campaign is now being waged and his basic tech niques meet with his approval no doubt, as shown by his silence. It’s should know that they can expand production and that the public that benefits from it will share part of the risks.” • • • The Federal Reserve Board has recently published a booklet show ing the status of the farmer today as compared to 12 years ago, and the most outstanding feature is the fact that the American farmer to day xould pay off all his debts in cash for the first time in history.

When he died in 1945 it was $258,682,187,410, over ten times what it was when he took office. Today our public debt is $260,000,000,000. In this connection it is interesting to note that as the public debt climb ed in the ’30s, Mr. Roosevelt obtained j tals only $14,149,000,000. the opinions of leading bankers that there would be no danger to the fl-j nancial stability of the nation if the; debt should go as high as $60,000,- 000,000.
