The Absurdity of National Debt

IT is a remarkable proof of the ignorance of politicians in regard to matters of finance and, in consequence, of their unfitness to play the important part which of necessity they do in the conduct of the nation’s affairs, that neither the Conservatives, Labour nor Liberal Parties, not to mention the I. L. P., Communists and Common Wealth, have ever made any important statement of a policy in connection with the National Debt, nor shown the slightest indication that they realise that it is desirable to do anything about it.
