The approval of the members is necessary for this step. Cards were mailed to memâ€" John Frantonius, Highwood‘s New Mayor The first reaction is to wonder if the United States is supposed to get any of the debt if it is ever paid. On second thought, however, it is probably more to the point to hope that the United States won‘t get all of it. It seems that a popular way of funding forâ€" eign obligations is to have the American taxpayer unâ€" derwrite them. J. Piarker Ha", £15 Maple in., Wfin'a.m H.
