Funeral services were conducted at U o’clock Sunday , morning at _ the Mount Olive Baptist church, Black KIver road tour miles from Camden Babson Park, Mass., April 28.—We hear much regarding the delinquency of youth. Many parents are having dUflcnlUes in keeping their teen-age children at home and off the streets This especially applies to commnnitles near army' camps, naval bases, air fields and munition plants. I’m told, however, that in most cases the par< ents of these chil- becanse they^r them selves, do not stay home. They their teen.4tge AU- dren a very poor laxample. Further more, lot orery young person found on the streets at night probably several grownnps can be found carousing in night clubs Therefore, I feel that the first step is for a community to clear up Its “de linquent parents’’ situation. Hats Off To Amsriean Youth Daring the past few weeks which spent in Florida, I’ve seen many soldiers. Babson Park is near the great Avon Park Army Air Field which contains tbe largest practice bombing field In the world. This has given me an opportunity to meet, not only men In training, but men who have returned from all parts of the world. They certainly are a marve lous group. It is almost beyond hn- man understanding what these boys, 20-25 years of age, are accomplishing. They truly possess a character, fn- telligence and training far in. excesa of what boys of that age had when I was in college forty years ago. However, 1 wish to write on the business j^gment—rather than on tbe fighting ability—of these young men. The tendency of us oldsters is to judge Industry and investments through our own eyes and based upon our own experience. If young people don’t agree with us, we naturally as- officials, nor by present officers of banks or Ihsurance companies. *I will repeat the, snggestions of three of these boys: Suggestion No. 1.—“I believs-4hat the i^vernment debt of all nations should be reorganised as would be the debt of a raflroad which has become to unwieldy. The holder of a $1000 government bond conld be given $250 in a new 2 1-2 per cent 30-year coupon bond; $600^ in a registered income bond, the interest on which could pe payable at various rates according to the receipts from a new sales tax levied for this purpose; and $260 in non-interest-bearing script which could be used for the payment of certain taxes. This vrould immedi ately cut the fixed interest payment down 75 per cent and -yet every bond- hblder should eventually get bis principal bock with interest depend Ing upon the prospeHty of the conn try.” Suggestion No. 2.—*‘Let other coun tries readjust their debts in the above manner; but I shall never vote to have the United States do anything which could be called repudiation in the slightest degree. I brieve a d^t of $300,000,000,000 can be supported and should be supported so that every one will get his full interest and some day his principal. * All we need do is to revalue the dollar by print ing more corrency and 'thus cause an increase in national incomes pro portionate to the increase In onr na tional debt. InsteaiT of cutting down tbe war debt; let us Inflate prices, wages, land v^ues, etc. Then it will be just as easy to pay interest on $300,000,000,000 as it was to pay in terest on 26 pef cent of this amount a few years ago.” Suggestion No. 8.—“I have a bettm idea than either of you other men,” said the third soldier. “I oppose either a reorganization of the debt or inflation. Both ideas are wrong. I recommend rounding the entire debt of $300,000,000,000, for 100 years—^wlth a 1-2 of 1 per cent conpon. ’Then 1 should allow these bonds to be used St par for the payment of taxes and I should support them with a Federal sales tax. the income from which could be used to call bonds by lot at a premium of 10 per cent A small sales tax will easily ^ye jhe govern- ment $3,300,000,000 a year which would repay the entire debt within 100 years. It is true that these bonds able to forecast the future. i Maay people worry as to what ex tent the Russian shadow is to tall ap(m. this country, especislly daring the next depression. iTiey see Russia becoming; such a world power that they fear she will Russianize Europe and Enghtnd and that the effects of this will ultimately be f^t in America. This certainly seems reasonable; bat a 22-year-oId filer, returned from de livering airplanes to Russia, said to mo: “Don’t worry about Russia. She will have her own postwar troubles. Sixteen Russian generals are already planning to get Stalin’s berth.” PVT. NANCY M. NELSON FINISHES H^R BASIC TRAINING Osmp Lejeune, N. C.—Private Nan cy M. Nelson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M.

Even the future of the New Deal lies with these boys and girls. Do not be shocked by this but I believe that the opinion of most per sons in tbe twenties as to the future of any Industry or political policy Is more valuable than the opinion of most persona over fifty years of age. The reason is that the future of the Ibdustry or policy depends upon what these young persons are going to buy, or do, or vote—not according to what we oldw ones buy, do, or vote. I had rather have the opinion of an intelligent twenty-five year old re turning service man on the future of most American industries than that of a conservative investment coun selor who Is judging the future by tbe past. What Youth Thinks About U. 8. Bonds’ • Recently I was with a group of off! cers including graduates from Harv ard Business school, Wharjou School of Finance, Northwestern'University and Babson Institute. . We discussed what would happen, after the war, to our government bonds iri case the debt reaches ISOO.OOO.QOaLOiQO. 'These are the boys who will decide the ques lion of whether or not the debt Is to berefunded and. If so. how? It will not be decided by present Treasury but—tbe fact that $3,000,000,000 would be called each year by lot at IJO— should hold prices pretty close to par. This means that taxes could be greatly reduced, inflation avoided and everyone could receive par for his bonds plus as mneh Interest as the big banks of New York are now pay ing depositors.” What About Russia?
