PUBLIC DEBT CHANGE
CAUSED BY DEFICIT
The treasury department has an
nounced that its October financing
will include an offer of 450 million
dollars in 4 -year notes, bearing
interest at 3 per cent. This issue will
increase the total interest-bearing
debt to about $20,800,000,000, com
pared with $15,922,000,000 on June
30, 1930, when the federal govern
ment last succeeded In balancing its
budget. In a little more than two
year3 nearly five billion dollars has
been added to the public debt, the
results achieved during six previous
years by resolute efforts to reduce it
having been canceled.
This great increase has been due,
of course, pirmarily to continuing
deficits ni the fiscal operations of
the government. In addition, there
has been large borrowing by the
treasury (not shown in its state
ments of income and expenditure) to
provide funds for the Reconstruction
Finance corporation and other emer
gency cgencies for relief. In conse
quence of this borrowing, certain
striking change? have occured in the
classification of the national debt, as
well as in its size. The following
table shows the amounts outstand

tle change has occured in other
bonds. But treasury notes, certifi
cates and bill all show large in
creases. These are the short-term
issues with which the government
has done most of its borrowing dur
ing the last two years. In conse
quence of the policy it has pursued,
the percetnage of the national debt
represented by notes, certificates and
bills has increased from 23.9 per cent
in 1930 to 29.9 per cent in 1932.
This method of borrowing has low
ered interest-rates. But it has in
creased the amount of indebtedness
in frequent need of refunding and
has tended to concentrate a far
larger part of it in the hands of the
banks rather than of the general pub

In a very few days that exultant
chorus dwindled rapidly from fortis
simo to pianissimo. Today there is
not a faintest note of it that the
keenest ear can detect. And why?
It is because, according to a con

business world at home and abroad,
Mr. Hoover himself, in that speech,
"pulled the prize boner" of the cam

He shouted calamity too loudly.
He aroused suspicion as to our coun

secret that, at a time when the Unit

And the embers of a subsiding
fear were stirred into flame anew. A
reviving stock market crawled back
in its bole. Stocks and bonds went
down. And the American dollar went
down in Europe, with a 'fresh wave
of liquidation of American secur
ities. "Pertinax," the world famous edi
tor of LEcho de Paris, an impartial
observer, tells the story in a few
paragraphs. In a copyrighted cable
to the Baltimore Sun he says:
"Most competent authorities
here openly declare that Presi

for the recent sale of American
securities and dollar currency

thought that deserve to be scru
tinized. According to some.
President Hoover's revelation
meant that American currency
does not rest upon such solid
foundations as was commonly
believed.
"In the Judgment of others.
Hoover had given signal proof
that he could not be relied up
on. Last February, at a time .
when on his own showing the
dollar was imperilled, he in
dulged in all kinds of reassur
ing statements, it is pointed out.
"Others maintained that the
danger never existed to the de
gree mentioned by Hoover, but
that the sight of the president
giving an unduly pessimistic
description of the monetary
situation eight months ago for
the purpose of convincing the
world that he had worked won
ders, even at the price of mak
ing the people doubt the strength
of dollar currency, did not en
courage anyone to trust his fi

ship." This cold comment upon an Am
erican president, coming from so
eminent an authority, naturaly is
not pleasing. If it were confined to
"Pertinax" alone it might be dis
missed a3 coming from a foreign
source. "What have we to do with
abroad?"
But unfortunately it is only the
echo of what is being said at home.
The alarming statement was prompt
ly attacked as unfounded by such a
recognized authority as Senator
Glass, and by various of his asso
ciates cf both parties in congress.
It was deplored by financial end eco
nomic leaders and students as un
justilicd, unwise, and distinctly
harmful. How harmful, the response
of the market has revealed. How
long the chill haze of suspicion thus
broadcasted will endure only time
can tell.
What 13 now recognized is that
Mr. Hoover, because of that unguard
ed utterance, has suffered sauly in
prestige in the house of his bes
friends the financial and business
interests. The deplorable fact
that, alone of the participants in
this campaign, the president of the
United States himself, in the zeal
of his advocacy of his own candidacy,
has aimed a severe, though unin
tended, blow at reviving confidence
Nor can it fail to be noted that
there has been no Euch lack of re

ness, on the part of Governor Roose
velt. Though he leads an attacking
host, though he is an "out" seeking
to get "in," he has very carefully
refrained from speaking a single sen
tence calculated to pour oil on the
flames of our national adversity. He
has sought to reassure the people
rather than to alarm them. He has
conducted a constructive campaign
and held aloft the banner of hope
and courage and confidence.

one, why the country is turning to
