DELAWARE SENATORS
PRAISE PRESIDENT
Presidents Speech Should Inspire
The Confidence OF The People

Both Senator Daniel o. Hastings
and Senator John G. Townsend, Jr.,
of Delaware, expressed the opinion
this week that President Hoover's
address to the Senate outlining the
necessity of balancing the budget
and restoring confidence will make
a deep impression on the people OF
the country.
Senator Hastings, in commenting
on the Presidents address, said:
"He is personally carrying a burden
that has never before been placed
upon a President in time of peace.
MANY of us have been here do
ing what we could for several weeks
to impress upon our colleagues the
importance of adopting small
manufacturers tax in order that the
burden of taxation might be more
evenly divided. The President today
emphasized the Importance of this.
He did much more than that, how
ever. He has again called attention
to the Importance of balancing the
budget in order that the credit of
the country may be maintained ev-
erywhGre."
Senator Hastings also pointed out
that the President "has again stres-
sed the Importance of reducing Fed
eral expenditures and the necessity
of keeping the appropriations down
to a minimum. The President is in
the best position to know the needs
of the country. He is entitled to the
of the Congress. Whether
he gets it remains to be seen. am
the Delaware Senator as
serted, that the right will ulti-
mately prevail and our democracy
shall be preserved.
