( have been studying the budgets <rf Prane# Q«^at Britain, bur fnr- rin friends when they came a-borrow- ing, but our mortal enemies when we go a-collecting. France has a budget of 18^00,000,000,000, divided as fol lows: 1. —dash to keep Hitler in Ger many $2/200,000,000.00 2. —Battleships to keep everybody else out $800,000,000.00 3. —General government expenses $399,999,997.25 4. —Reserve to pay Unde Sam on war debt $2.75 —Net budget $3,500,000,000.00 If the poor old gullible United States were to owe the European nations 17 billions of dollars, it would be dangerous for an American boat to sail a distance of 3 miles from our awn coasts. Thosa birds would have V- declared war on us long ago, gassed as into submission, and, if they could, woald have had Roosevelt, Johnson, Borah, Hoover and Huey Lqng helping to dig § canal between London and the Marne river.

Un cle Sam ought not to object to helping the farmer to save his land by paying for part of the labor necessary to do so—ras outlined in this article. This land-afflicted writer happens to own a few hundred acres of farm lands that he is “struggling, tooth ancf toe-nail’’ to keep from turning over to the State for taxes, and I am sure that he would be glad to try to scrape up 50 cents per day for a large number of workers and thus help the R. F. C. pay them, at the rate that is now in effect. All he would want them to do is—help overcome erosion, help stop breaks in ter races, help straighten out and clean up the streams thru the bottom-lands, and incidentally—tack a few boards on the fast deteriorating tenant and outhouses. ministrator of the n. r. a yores trulie, . mike Clark, rfd. corry spondent. * Will He Remain?
