military weakness. If we had

Its Soil Testing lime Again
High crop yields at lower cost
in 1954 are possible for farmers
who follow the example of many
successful growers and use the
free soil testing services at Texas
A&M College.
When money becomes tight,
some farmers are inclined to re-
duce their expenditures for fer-
tilizer.
This isn't the best
because food and liber, especially
at this time, must be produced
more economically. Experiment

for the Congress to have; but its
legal effectiveness is very doubt-
ful, to say the least. The rea-
son I opposed the raising of the
national debt last year was to
require the Treasury to use $9-
billion deposited in banks, for
: which the Government was re-
ceiving no interest, and if the
money was used, the raising of
the debt limit was unnecessary.
In times gone by, the Govern-
ment received two per cent on
these balances, which would
amount to about $180-million a
year on the $9-billion; but now
it receives nothing, and there is

Even these staggering figures
do not include the 40 million peo-
ple who were killed (15 million
military personnel and about 25
million by military action and
those in concentration camps
who were killed by starvation or
disease. Nearly a million and a
half lost their lives in air raids
alone). Measured in these terms,
the expenditures we are now
making for defense represents a
good bargain as they will help to
prevent another world war, and
if the war should come anyway,
the more capable we will be of
defending the nation.

vate commercial banking inter-
ests.
It is rather difficult to explain
the difference in this particular
respect. It is true that the pri-
vate banks own all of the stock
there is in the twelve Federal
Reserve banks. It is merely call-
ed stock; it is not stock at all.
It is merely an investment on
which the banks receive a return
of six percent a year. Such so-
called stock ownership does not
carry with it any control or
supervision whatsoever and it
can be neither sold nor hypo-
thecated, so it is not stock al-
though it is called stock. These
banks operate exclusively upon
the credit of the nation. They
create or manufacture the money
on the nation’s credit, using the
property of the people and the
taxing power to support the na-
tion's credit.

Voetter states that she and her
