Disaster Is Seen.

Disaster Is Seen.
It is an apprehension about funda-
mentals-a belief that Congress by its
indecision does not realize the extent
to which it is forcing the country to
the brink of economic disaster.
Interviews with some of the people
who have funds to invest for large
institutions, such as insurance COM
panies. educational institutions, trust
estates and the like, reveal the reasons
why people In positions Of responsibility
are spending sleepless nights. They
may be enumerated thus:
First, a belief that Congress Is not
aware of the way Government credit
has been slowly built up by Federal Re-
serve open market operations, only to
have confidence suddenly upset by
definite indications, such as the Colds
borough bill, that tinkering with the
currency is really cherished yet as an
artificial cure to money conditions.
Second, fear that the unequal sys-
TEN of taxation proposed Will never
yield the revenues talked about and
that the budget will not be actually
balanced and that Government bor-
rowings will be necessary next year In
large quantity once more, thus Affecting
the price Of long-term securities now
being purchased.
Third, a growing conviction on the

RESPONSE SEEN
TO HOOVER'S PLEA
President to Issue Second
Statement Today Appealing
Directly to Country.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The first fruits of President Hoover S
special message to Congress yesterday
urging speed on budget-balancing
legislation were apparent today with
the perfection of the revenue bill by
the Senate Finance Committee and the
rejection by the House Ways and Means
Committee of the soldiers bonus bills
Meanwhile, the President made plans
to go to the public in appealing for i'm
mediate action On Understanding
Shortly after pm. today he will make
public statement seeking to gain sup
port throughout the country behind the
message to Congress yesterday.
Other indications this message would
be effective in bringing about quicker
action on the tax and economy ques-
tions confronting Congress were in evi-
dence today. Several of the Democratic
Senators, following the lead of Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, said there was
no disposition on their part to deal
with tax and economy legislation
from partisan point of view. They
said they would cooperate with their
Republican colleagues to get this legis-
lation through as rapidly as possible.
Among them was Senator Walsh of
Montana.
Senate Being Watched.
The eyes Of the country turned par
ticularly upon the Senate today. The
House has passed the final drafting of
tax and economy legislation to the Up
per House. The fact the Senate is be-
ing watched by the country and will be
so watched during the next few weeks
apparently was having effect upon the
members of that body
A certain amount of underlying re-
sentiment to the Presidents message
existed. Some of the Democrats are
inclined to take the position the Presi-
dent was angling for popular approval
while he was striking out at Congress
because of delay of budget balancing
legislation.
Reacting to the message, Chairman
Byrns of the House Appropriations
Committee today presented figures to

The Park Service al- ready maintains roads and trails within this area and new hotel will be erected near the railroad. The proposed extension to the northwest will bring Wonder Lake into the Park, and thus afford an- ether hotel-lodge development and a finer viaw of Mount Mckinley than any now had in the Park. With the opening of this region it would be a comparatively simple matter for the Territory to connect up with the Kantishna district, making that region accessible.
