Debt decline over 25 years shocks observers
The New York World notes that twenty five years ago it seemed impossible for the U S to cut its monstrous debt by two thirds while lowering annual interest to less than a fifth of the then rate. After paying over 1.5 billion on principal and cutting yearly interest by 120 million, wartime expenditures would now top 10,000 more than after the war.
