she was bundled into a little basket

What's What
Behind News

Balancing of Budget
Mere Matter of
Keeping Books.
BY PAUL MALLON.

~ALAMITY howlers are yodeling
4 in despair about the Federal
I budget. They think 1t is In bad
~ shape. They say it will not be
unbalanced, but SO far askeW
as to disturb confidence in Govern
ment bonds. They see no prospect of
performing the Spring refinancing sue
ceSsfully. They do not say these
things openly, but that is what they
are driving at.
Their, trouble is that they assume the
Government needs money to balance
the budget.
Evening star., 1933-12-21
Balancing" Now Obsolete.

pCllCl1s
Balancing" Now Obsolete.
No well-informed people use the
phrase balancing the budget" any
more. 1t is obsolete. 1t does not mean
anything under the existing Treasury
bookkeeping system.
Every one knows these alphabetical
Super-relief agencies are costing more
money than the Government can take
in. They will probably cost 10 billions
during the next three years. But these
expenses are not in the budget. They
are segregated outside.
The budget contains only the
ordinary running expenses OF the
Government. The inside estimate
is that it iUiH ShotO q surplus OF
billion dollars at the end OF this
fiscal year June 30).
So the question is not whether the
budget is balanced, but whether the
whole scheme of income and outgo is
on a sane basis. The real problem is
not to make the books balance but to
maintain the confidence OF bondholders
in the Governments ability to pay of
its excess current expenditures in the
end.
At least, that is the principle upon
which Mr. Roosevelt is proceeding. He
believes it can and will be done that
way.
Depends Upon Business.
Mr. Roosevelt's theory is that buSi-
ness will be better. If it is, Govern
ment revenues will be better. He can
pay off in years Of plenty the obliga-
tionS incurred in the years of want
Some experts doubt his ability to do
that.
But ichdt it all boilS dotUn to
is q question Uhether you think
business is going to be sufficiently
better to meet the expenses ,Oithin
reasonable time. II you do not
belieue it iUiH, then you do not
1cant Government bonds or money
or anything else ercept q storm
cellar tuH OF food.
The administration men here think It
cannot help but work out satisfactorily.
They say if Mr.. Roosevelt keeps spend
ing within reason and keeps Congress
from going of on a l0-billion- dollar
public works spree ond other things
like that he will be all right
They know the existing budget sys-
tenn is trick bookkeeping. They also
know 1t is a practical necessity.
Therefore, all they want to do Is TO
keep excess expenditures within reason,
and they will not worry about ''balanc-
ing the budget"
Hoover Opposes Obstruction.
Mr.. Hoover himself concurs in the
Republican decision to lay off RooSe-
velt in the coming congressional Ses-
sion.
At least his unofficial Washington
spokesman, Larry Richey, has joined in
the move Richey has told all Repub-
lican Senate and House leaders who
asked him that he thinks it would be
unwise to use obstruction tactics. He
thinks the welfare of the country
should be considered first.

criticism of the NRA. but said
several amendments were needed
to make it satisfactory to south
ern industry.
"The rights of small operators
are not adequately safeguarded,"
Edgerton asserted, "and the South
is put in an unfavorable competi-
tive position.
"Thc wage differential in the
industrial codes is seriously in
adequate. The opinion seems to
prevail among southern manufac-
turcrs that the wage differential
ought not to be less than 80 per
cent.
"The labor section Of the Re-
covery Act is an unjust cOnceS-
sion of doubtful rights to one class
of citizens. It should be amended
by a reciprocal citation of the
rights of the employer. The sec
ton was written into the act by
the mailed hand of a small labor
aristocracy."
Edgerton explained that crit
Cisms Of the NRA did not imply
that "there have not been great
values and gains from the expert
ment."
The presiding officer indicated
it was his desire that the confer
ence take a course Of constructive
action to remove or remedy "thc
faults of the NRA."

why The Chimes
Rang ToBeGiven
Sunday Evening
Notable Pageant Drama
Will Be at Presby-
terrain Church

"Why the Chimes Ring" a one
act play with an atmosphere, OF
pagentry pervading, will be pre-
scented at the PRESBYTERIAN church
Sunday, Dec. "a, at 1880 o'clock
p. M, by a cast Of about 80 peO-
pie, under the direction of Mrs.
j. S. Hunter. This play, which
is adapted from the story of the
same name, by Elizabeth APP
tharp McFadden, was prentice
work done in an English class at
Radcliffe college in 1908. Sew
eral years later it was staged in
the English "Workshop," Profess
sor Barker's labratory for trying
out plays written in the Harvard
and Radcliffe courses in dramatic
technique. 1t has been success
fully presented more than 1000
times in the United States, Can
ada, England, Hawaii and Japan.
1t is the old yet ever new
story of gifts being affored to
the Christ child. "The miracul-
Gus chimes in the tower of the
cathedral are holy chimes, placed
there by sainted hands. They are
said to ring on Christmas eve
when gifts are laid on the altar
for the Christ child. Not every
offering will ring them, it must
be a perfect gift. and for years
not one thing that has been laid
upon the altar has caused the
chimes to ring" They are to ring
this Christmas eve.
The opening scene is laid in a
peasants hut on the edge of a
forest near cathedral town.
Plans for elaborate stage prop
critics including a woOd-cutter's
hut and large, stained glass ca
thedral window with unusual
lighting effects are under way
under the direction of Lawrence
Mckay, superintendent, and Har-
old Flanagan.
The speaking parts of the play
will be taken by Scott and Ben
nett Hunter, Murphy Wilds. and
Mrs. Walter o. Allen. The cast
will be supported by full vested
choir and numerous lords and la
dies, poets, artists and kings who
offer their greatest earthly pos
sessions to the Christ Child each
in the hope that his gift will
cause the chimes to ring.
Organ music, written especially
for the play will be executed
throughout the performance by
Miss Elizabeth Cannon, director
of the choir. The outstanding
musical item in this program is
Percy Lee Atherton's 'Eightfold
Alleluia," the triumphant cres-
cendo of which carries the pag-
cant fittingly and dramatically to
Its close.
This pageant will take the place
of the regular evening service,
and coming as it does, on Christ
mas eve, it promises to be richly
inspirational as we'll as highly en-
tertaining.
