Incidentally, w'lth calamity howler predicting financial tragedy through New Deal spending, remember that the New Heal ha retired the bond which financed the World war. IncidentalNew ly, also moat of this Heal spending has been New Heal Investment of a high order. Most of the money borrowed for the war was spent In those destructive activities which created the vacuum Into which rushed the dewhirling storms of world-wid- e pression. Our New Deal debt has resulted largely In constructive enterprises Increasing our national wealth. Cheap money means Just as much to the ordinary man and woman as It does to the big business man, for cheap money means lota of money running easily and smoothly through the arteries of trade and business. I think that to have an easier money situation right now Is a tremendous victory for the financial policies of the New Deal. When the bankers finally awaken to the fact that there la nothing wrong with the situation, and are ready to loan to business large and small that two and a third ldlllons they are carrying as surplus, we will be on the high road to fortune.

It Is now generally accepted that there is a balance of nature which must lie preserved iu order to keep a continent from lielng washed away by floods or blown away by dust storms. The plowing up of 40.0(10,1100 acres of grass lands to furnish wheat and other grains for Euro during the World war has bad more than an economic effect. That 40.dWi.000 acres of grain has contributed toward the tremendous surplus which has caused our economic problems iu agriculture to a great extent ; but also It is evident that Nature never Intended that grass laud to lie plowed.

It Is figured here that $35,000,000 acres of farmlands have been abandoned because of soil erosion. As Secretary Ickes says, soil erosion Is the thief which takes away tbe earth by the billions of tons." A tremendous campaign has been launched against this tidef and his allies. The interior department alone has a dozen offices each of which Is specifically dedicated to the reduction of a waste that would bankrupt other countriesnot so plentifully endowed with resources. There are many ways of combating the loss of the soil; there Is a system of "strip cropping," there are field terraces ; steep slopes and fields are being treated so as to prevent washing away to leave gullies and waste spaces. There is a nationwide tree planting campaign; a strip of trees in a soue a hundred miles wide running from the Texas panhandle northward to the Canadian boundary. a Watch Your Death to Frightened All Fosse Language Eating Hark and Earth Eye-Len- DEYKRLY HILLS.
