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

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

I should support them with a Federal

could be used to call bonds by lot

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

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

will have her own postwar troubles.

planning to get Stalin’s berth.”

and employment. 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
