HISTORY Of DANCE .
FORMS EXPLAINED.
National Sympathy Plays
Varied Examples at Chill.
dren's Concert.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The children's concert Of the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra yesterday
at Central High School was devoted,
for the most part, to an explanation
Of dance forms through the ages. Sec
ondary consideration was given to the
demonstration of the brass instru-
ments of the orchestra with the ad-
dition of the saxophone on which
Bert Worth gave a solo number
Beginning with the sixteenth CEN
tury, DR.. Kinder told Of the type Of
dances then in vogue and the reasons
for the tempo ascribed them: From
the slow sarabande, written for state
~ oourtiers, and the hvelier savotts,
danced by the common people, illus
trated by two compositions by Bach,
. progression was made to the min
uets Of the eighteenth century. The
slow and the quick minuet OF that
period was exemplif1ed by the music
of Boccherini and Mozart. For the
early nineteenth century the Ger
man Dance" by Schubert was used in
illustration. A Hungarian Dance"
by Brahms was played to show the
character Of national dances and was
50 vigorously applauded that DR..
Kinder offered to play another OF the
same dances by Brahms as encore.
Charles Yukl, first trumpet OF the
orchestra; Sune johnson, first French
horn, and Robert Clark, first from
bone, played short excerpts to dem
onStrate the range and hexibility OF
their respective instruments. A Bach
"Chorale" was then given by the
united brass section Of the orchestra
with beauty Of tone and impressive
delivery. The entire saxophone fam
lily, soprano, tenor, baritone and bass,
were demonstrated by Bert Worth,
followed by . saxophone solo, Min
uet," from Bizet's suite "L'Arlesienne"
with piano accompaniment.
The program ended with the sing
ing Of the "Marseillaise" and Strauss
''Wein. Webb und Gesang" as exam
pies Of the waltz Of the nineteenth
and twentieth century. "the greatest
dance of ALL" as DR. Kinder described
it. There was large attendance and
great enthusiasm throughout the
program.

Morgenthau pointed out that the

the line of expenditures outlined by
President Roosevelt.
THE President estimated in his
first budget message to Congress- he
said, that the national deficit, includ-
ing both ordinary and emergency ex-
penditures, would amount during the
six months from January to June,
1894, to about six billion dollars.
He also estimated that the deficit
for the IL months from July, 1884, to
June, 1885, would be about two bill

The Secretary said that in asking
funds from Congress this eight-billion-
dollar plan was adhered to strictly, eX-

Morgenthau declared that because

June, 1885, was only about three bill
lion dollars instead of six.

Morgenthau's statement that the
s., 800, ,O00 900 profit" the Government
reaped by its gold policy eventually
would be applied to reducing the ma

$4,000, 600, 900 to Be Held.
Observers hold that when the Treas
ury pays out gold certificates backed
by this profit, it will mean a currency
imitation of $2,800, 100000. Many on
lockers had predicted this would be
the eventual decision of the Govern.
ment. But Morgenthau made clear
that "for the present" the Govern
ment would continue to keep the ST.
300 900, 600 under lock and key" So
there is no saying when the currency
will be issued.
Secretary Morgenthau's speech was
Interpreted in London as definitely nom
infiationary in tone, while in Paris
fears of a "50-cent dollar" grew, on
the belief that the Treasury heads talk
foreshadowed imitation.
Financial writer's in London stressed
the point that if gold profits are to be
used to write off indebtedness that is
the reverse of initiation.
Dollar Weakens in Paris.
Meanwhile the dollar weakened in
Paris trading, but a major part of the
gloom was caused by the belief that
the pound was likely to follow, thus
tanning an already hot devaluation
fight in France.
Secretary MorgenthSu said that
from March 4, 1888, to June 80, 1884,
the gross public debt increased about
$4,000, 100000.
Some observers" ne said, have
concluded that it also represents the
cost of the new deal during that
period in so far as such cost is re-
fected in a growth of the public debt.
This assumption is easily made,
but it ignores the all-important fact
that, while we have increased our
debt, we have also increased our
assets, many Of them in realizable
form. BY this I mean assets which
in due time the Government will turn
into cash, thereby making them avail
able for reduction of the national
debt"
Assets Are Listed
Making an inventory of assets" for
his listeners, he said that against
this gross increase We can offset, either
now or ultimately; the following
assets:
I'D An increase in the Treasury's
cash balance of 81 900, 900, 900;
"(2) The profit of $4,000, 100000
resulting from the reduction in the
gold content of the dollar;
"(3) The increase in the net assets
of the agencies wholly owned and
financed by the Government, amount
ing on June 30, 1884, TO $l,095, ,000,-
0OO."
Although Morgenthau did not carry
this exposition to its conclusion, it
would leave a net deficit of $505, ,000,-
600. Thus, on the basis of Morgen-
thau's theory, this sum would be the
cost of the new deal so far as 1t IS
reflected in the increase in debt.

Government profted when it seized
Evening star., 1934-08-29

The tert OF the speech last night
By Secretary Morgenthdu oUer
radio hook-up tollolUS:
I propose to discuss with you the
cost of the new deal. I will avoid
the jargon of the usual financial state
ment and will try to give you in plain
language a concise but complete ex-
planation of the essential facts.
On March 4, 1888, when the pres
ent administration came into office,
the gross public debt of the United
States stood at a little less than
$21 600, 100000. BY June 80 OF this
year it had increased to $27,00o,-
100000, or an increase of about
5000, 100000. This is the gross in
crease in the national debt during the
first year and four months OF the
new administration.
Some observers have concluded that
it also represents the cost of the new
deal during that period in so far as
such cost is reflected in a growth of
the public debt. This assumption is
easily made, but it ignores the all
important fact that, while we have
increased our debt, we have also M
creased our assets, many of them in
realizable form. BY this mean assets
which in due time the Government
will turn into cash, thereby making
them available for reduction of the
national debt.
Proposes an Inventory.
A good business man takes periodic
inventory of the stock of goods on
his shelves, to see if his inventory
has increased or decreased. Let us
do the same Let us take an inventory
of the Governments assets and see
how those assets have changed since
March of last year.
We begin with the Treasurys cash
balance. This is the Governments S
equivalent of cash in the merchants
drawer. If merchant should find
that, at the end of Is months his
gross debt had increased by $1,000.
but that he had $3.50 more in his
cash register he would, of course,
take into account the increase in his
cash when figuring the change in his
financial condition. We can follow
the same practice in measuring the
real financial position of the Govern
ment. These are the facts:
On March 4, 1898, when this ad-
miniStration came into Office. the
TreaSuryS cash balance amounted to
about $200,000,000. BY June 80. 1894,
this cash balance had risen to nearly
81 300, 900 ,000-an increase of about
81 500, 100000 If this gain in cash is
deducted from the gross increase in
the public debt, the net increase be-
comes $4,000, 100000, instead of &c.
900 100000.
Has Second Cash Drawer.
But we have another cash drawer
in the Treasury, in addition to the
drawer which carries our working
balance. This second drawer I will
call the gold" drawer. In it is the
very large sum of $4,000, 900 900,
representing profit" resulting from
the change in the gold content of the
dollar. Practically all of this profit"
the Treasury holds in the form of
gold and silver. The rest is in other
assets
I do not propose here to subtract
this $2,8O0,OOO,OOO from the net in
crease of 81, 400, 0,000,0 900 in the national
debt-thereby reducing the figure to
81 600, 100000. And the reason why
1 do not subtract it is this: For the
present this $2,800,00O,000 is under
look and key. Most of it, by authority
Of Congress, is segregated in the So
