U.S. BANKERS HAVE MADE SUCEKRS OF PUBLIC, BOOK BY FAMED ECONOMIST ASSERTS Dr. Max Winkler, Internationally Known, Says We’ll Never Get Back Loans of Rainbow Days. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Rcrlpps-Howard Foreign Editor W ASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—By Jan. 1, 1934, foreign governments, states and municipalities will be in default to the tune of $22,300,000,000. / ‘ Interest due and unpaid at that time will total well over $12,500,000,000, and is accumulating at the rate of over $1,000,000,000 a year, or more than $2,000 a minute.

The amount in default represents about sl2 for each man, woman and child in the world, regardless of country, race or creed. It is only slightly less than the total expenditure of the United States government from its start a century and a half ago down to the World war. , These gigantic figures bind the nations of the world together for all time and eternity. They never can pay them. Tney never expect to pay them. Such in effect is the startling introduction to Dr. Max Winkler's book. "Foreign Bonds—An Autopsy,” published today by Roland Swain Company. Comes at Great Time Coming as it does on the heels of by sensational testimony revealed by Ferdinand Pecora and the senate banking committee, it clinches the impression here that the bankers, in the vernacular, have made unmitigated suckers of the public. Dr. Winkler is anew York banker in his own right, and an economist of international repute. An autopsy, he observes, does not help the dead, but a knowledge of what caused the demise might benefit the living. Hmce his “autopsy” on the collossal “dead” debts which foreigners owe, but never will pay. The outspoken volume describes the transformation of the United States from a debtor to a creditor nation with investments abroad aggregating more than $17,000,000,000, mostly within the last fifteen years. This sum does not include the $11,000,000,000 war debt owed to this country by Europe. A Land of ‘Easy Money’ It reveals how Americans “discovered” the world during the last decade and a half as a field for investments, and how the world, in turn, “discovered” America as a land of “easy money,” with a “docile and incomprehensible” public ready at a moment's notice to lend money to friend or foe without giving a thought as to how, if ever, the loans W’ere to be repaid. It tells how reputable bankers and investment brokers took advantage of this public—which depended upon them to look into the soundness of securities before offering them for sale—and unloaded billions of dollars worth of pa per now wprth little or nothing at all. It tells how bankrupt foreign governments were pictured in rainbow’ colors by American floaters. How’ some of the most conservative concerns in the country’ disposed of securities in a w r ay w’hich in England sent people to prison. It's Amazing Story How the kin of high government officials were bribed for their aid in floating virtually worthless bonds sold in this country, and how as much as 90 per cent of the proceeds of some of these loans actually never reached the hands of the borrowers. It is a most amazing story, one every American grow’nup - should read as part of his education. It should be required reading in high schools, colleges and universities. For. while it may be that the Hegelian dictum is true that “we learn from history that we learn nothing from history’." there are exceptions to the rule, and these exceptions—those able to learn from experience—can save money by a study of this book. One Nation Is Gone i Dr. Winkler, among other things, knocks into a cocked hat the popular notion that governments seldom default and struggle to pay lest they be forever branded as poor risks or cheats. France, for example, now in default on her w r ar debt to the United States, “ceased payments at least once every thirty years" from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. During the last century’, the author points out, not one Latin American republic escaped default, some repeating as frequently as once every seven years. Default on the part of governments, even some of the principal ones, apparently has become a habit rather than the exception. Nevertheless. Dr. Winkler does hold out one little ray of hope, slender though it may be. namely that governments normally prefer to paysomething on account, even if only a few cents on the dollar, rather than default in toto or repudiate.

BACILLI SOURCE IN TOOTH DECAY PROVESELUSIVE Experimenters Encounter Blank Wall Despite Extensive Work. BY DAVID DIETZ Scripps-Howard Science Editor Why do some people's teeth decay more than others? That is the question which the children’s fund of Michigan is trying to find out by means of an elaborate study under the direction of Dr. Russell W. Bunting, professor of oral pathology at the University of Michigan dental school. Professor Bunting points out that it is now well established that tooth decay, or dental caries as it is called technically, is the result of the pres'Shce of certain bacteria, the socalled B, acidophilus, in the mouth. This hacillus, by its action upon residual carbohydrate foods in the mouth, produces acids which attack the enamel of the teeth. Studies have revealed that the bacillus is present in large amounts in certain people’s mouths, present only occasionally in others, and never present at all in still others. The question of why some people’s teeth decay resolves itself, then, into the question of why does bacillus acidophilus thrive in some people’s mouths? The answer is not yet complete, although a beginning is being made to the solution of the problem. General Points Cited Three general considerations appear to be related to the problem, Dr. Bunting says. They are: First, the chemical constituents of the salivary and oral secretions; second, the possible immunologic principles of the saliva, and third, the character of the retained food debris remaining about the teeth. The opinion frequently has been expressed that the pnosphorus content, the calcium content, or the acidity of the saliva might be a controlling factor in the prevention of dental caries. Dr. Bunting reports that during the last two years the University of Michigan investigators have had under observation two groups of children, one of which w r as extremely susceptible to dental caries, the other of which was extremely immune. No constant differences in the phosphorus, content, calcium content or acidity of either the saliva or the blood stream could be found between the two groups. Asa result. Dr. Bunting concludes that low phosphorus, low calcium, or a condition of acidosis, are not the cause of tooth decay. Seek Immunity Method Experiments also have been tried by the University of Michigan experimenters to see if immunity can be developed against the bacilllus acidophilus. Some experiments were tried with a polyvalent vaccine made of 40 strains of B acidophilus, but the results are not yet conclusive. “These studies are only in their infancy,” Dr. Bunting says, “but the findings thus far obtained strongly indicate the existence of some form of general immunologic principle which controls the growth and activity of B acidophilus in the mouth and the intestinal tract.” The character of the food debris remaining in the mouth is important, Dr. Bunting thinks. Since the production of acids by B acidophilus depends upon the fermentation of carbohyrate materials, the amount and character of carbohydrate food debris in the mouth and about the teeth constitutes an important factor in dental caries. Other factors which Dr. Bunting and his associates have been giving attention to include those of hereditity, age, bodily health, diet and nutrition, and racial conditions.

Scott. He assumed the office recently, after his predecessor, Homer Compton, entered the state prison to serve a term for embezzling township funds. Mr. Scott is acting on advice of his attorney that the contracts are illegal. The trustee of all the teachers will serve until the end of the term.

Republican teachers are said to fear that cancellation of the contracts means they will have no chance of being employed for the next school year. u u a ‘Debunks’ at De Pauw By United Press GREENCASTLE, Nov. 18.—Addressing freshmen on “Mental Hygiene,” Professor P.

NORRIS SPEECH ‘KEYNOTE’ FOR PROGRESSIVES Address at Champaign Seen as Opening Wedge of New Drive. By Bcripps-flntcard Xrtcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—The speech of Senator George Norris <Rep., Neb.', accepting the Cardinal Newman award for statesmanship, was regarded here today as the keynote of the progressives’ campaign in the next congress for a more even distribution of wealth. The senator advocated a stiff inheritance tax as the means for regulating great fortunes, and he urged that even a shorter work week be institutted by law. His program, however, may be widened considerably in scope because of the country's experience with NRA during the last few months and also because of the Wall Street investigations. The current administration swing to the left is likely to make senate progressives an important group next session, although they will be surrounded by a Democratic congress. With Senator Norris as the leader, this group includes such men as Senators La Follette (Rep., Wis.), Bone (Dem., Wash.) and Nve (Rep’ N. D.). It is expected to advocate not only tax reform, but stricter regulation of banks and securities exchanges; and some legislation curbing the socalled free use of money is being discussed. .
