You have at your command the finest achievements of science. You have food, metals, power everything necessary for comfort and happiness in abundance. But you cannot have prosperity as long as government takes one-third of your production and wastes most of it. Given a chance, economic laws will swing back the pendulum in this nation toward beiter times. High taxes, governmental waste, the incompetence of hordes of office-holders these defeat economic laws. We cannot prosper while a huge percentage of the public income in-come is diverted from productive .channels and squandered by wasteful and extravagant publiq servants. President-elect Roosevelt has promised to cut a billion dollars a year from the federal budget. f President Hoover is demanding decreases in the waste. " That billion CAN be cut out; it MUST be cut out. But even if, and when it is, government at Washington will be costing us a billion a year MORE than before olir grand inflation spree started. , , Bad as that picture is, it presents by no means the worst of our high tax crimes.

If the burden is notj lifted, we shall continue to descend de-scend into new miseries until, finally, we end up in complete national na-tional chaos. .. With these truths in mind the Herald here and now declares WAR AGAINST HIGH TAXES, unremitting opposition to public pub-lic waste and extravagance. WE DEDICATE OURSELVES AND OUR RESOURCES AND OUR POWER TO THAT, CAUSE, UNTIL VICTORY IS WON. DRAPER STIli BOURBON HEAD Enemies of Delbert M.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 (U.R) The British . American debt debate reached a crisis, today after a swift and dramatic dra-matic exchange of new note. London offered to pay $95,-500,000 $95,-500,000 next Thursday con-? ditionally. Secretary of States Stimson promptly rejected the conditions. con-ditions. Great Britain seemed to face a choice between unconditional payment pay-ment and default after Stimson had refused to take the payment as . an advance installment under a future debt agreement. He insisted the money must apply on Britain's $4,6000,000,000 debt as funded In 1928. Congressional reaction supTj ported him. Rapid Exchange-Never Exchange-Never in recent diplomatic history his-tory have "two powers exchanged vews on a major problem so quick ly as did America and Britain. Stimson had just finished his Sunday dinher and prepared for a , -quiet afternoon when Sir Ronald ..Lindsay, British ambassador, called. at;Wopdly, Stimson's estate, with the British note. - ; ' Stimson hurried at once to 'the state department, summoned Sec-- retaryof -Treasury MiH and- As sistant Secretary of State Btlndy, called In a corps of stenographers," 'and began work on his reply. ;At 7:35 p. m. Stimson and Mills finished the final draft. .Stimson, meanwhile, had tele-phoned tele-phoned Landsay to meet him at Woodley. There less than six hours after the British note was received Stimson placed thi reply in the ambassador's hands. Deadline Is Near Two reasons for Stimson's rush seemed apparent. First, the deadline dead-line payment is only three days away- and he wanted to apprise London of his decision in time to permit it to reconsider. Second, he . waute4 the French chamber of deputies, meeting today to consider its' $20,000,000 debt payment also due .Thursday, to know it would be uselesVto offer payment conditionally. condition-ally. A Stimson's note, while cordial, left no doubt that the United States would not accept Britain's money if so doing implied scrapping the ! present debt agreement. It remind- - -ed Jjondon that Mr; Hoover had promised reconsideration of : the war debts. But it intimated - that the change should be seemly and In order. It also pointed out' that only congress' could change- the, debt pacts. " .. RHODES SCHOLAR NOMINEES John F.
