Abuse of 'Treasury.

Unsound Principles. Copyright. 1931, by North American Ncwapauer Alliance. Ogden L. Mills, undersecretary of the treasury of the United States and one of the country's leading authorities on matters pertaining to finance, always has regarded as Indefensible enormous payments to the war veteran.

And yet there are many who regard the government as being In. different toward the men who ral- lic-3 to its aid a- decade and- a half ago.

The politician is in constant-fear lest he ba obliged to yield his place to some-one else.

Public sentiment is subject to quick and drastic changes. In order to enjoy the pres- ent, he does not hesitate to mortgage the future. Let our children and grandchildren provide, he says, with happy thoughtlessness. Little does he realise that, very olten, the errors which he commits become so serious in character and so Inexcusable that the "consequences fall upon those who commit them, rather than upon their posterity. Thus, their fond and pleasant dreams are shattered and their castles in the air destroyed.

For confirmation of this view, let us consult Siles, late ruler of Bolivia; Legulfi, late president of Peru; Ibancz, erstwhile dictator of Chile; Irlgoyen, late chief executive of Ar. gentlna, and Luis, late president of It was but yesterday that they launched the most ambitious public works, havingicommand over millions'Of dollars, cheerfully loaned by American bankers, In return for pledges and promises.
