...there must be some way for the government to take up that money. Taxes play their part, and it will be an increasingly important part, but they are not enough. Unless the gap can be filled with voluntary borrowing, either compulsory loans will have to be initiated, or a vicious inflationary spiral will set in, with the government simply outbidding private consumers by printing more greenbacks.

Featuring a distinctly amateur grade of photography and a plot which could not have passed the most leuient English A instructor, this film is definitely to be avoided. If you're a good linguist and have the sort of imagination which reads vicious innuendo into the simplest "bon jour" or "mauvais unit," you may get a kick out of this picture; otherwise you might just as well try Harper's for light reading.
