This is merely an index of how this nation is penny-wise and pound-foolish. New York city is having an epidemic of robberies such as it has not had for years. More than once recently a longshoremens strike has tied up ocean travel. New York has been spending money like the proverbial drunken sailor. Nor is New York alone in its extravagance. Our Congress is appropriating millions of the public's money with scarcely an inquiry to find out how those millions are to be spent. The interest on the war-debt is going to amount to a billion...
