To the Editor:

     Would that WWI were over!   Now that Germany has retired its debt from the war, only the accounts of the U.S. remain to be settled. We have not yet repaid the principal borrowed from the Federal Reserve for that venture. For the better part of a century--through boom times and bust--the U.S. has lived as a debtor to an agency of its own creation.  I'm sure it's convenient to the bankers to keep Uncle Sam on such a leash; it remains an enduring embarrassment to the People.
