A Belief In The President

In the August number of Review
| of Reviews, there appears an article
| written by former Vice President
Charles G. Dawes, entitled "In This
Year of Recovery" in which he ex-
| presses his belief in President
| Roosevelt From that article we
take the following:
In my judgment we are facing
continued better conditions in busi-
ness and industry in this country.
predicate this chiefly upon my be-
lief that the President will carry
through his announced program of
balanced national budget in 1895.
1 believe that he will withstand the
tremendous political pressure upon
him to continue emergency expendi-
lures after emergencies have pass
ed. He does not strike one as a
man who is afraid.
That balanced budget program,
and that only, will insure the gen.
eral confidence in the stability and
soundness of our governmental fis-
cal system and condition which is
necessary to maintain the present
revival in business and the ensuing
prosperity.
If the President holds to this plan
of a balanced 1886 budget no one
need fear the effect upon business
or confidence of an increased S10,-
900, 100000 in the government debt
which the President has proposed to
cover his recovery and emergency
expenditures.
One has little conception of the
inherent strength of our national
condition who regards a maximum
government debt of $50, 0,000,-
900 as in itself endangering govern
mental credit This nation had
debt in 1919 of $26, ,594, 100000
and within eleven years. to 1880,
easily reduced the principal by S10,-
600, 100000.
Our present governmental indebt-
S25,7S1, 100000 is about that Of
the government on June so, 1919,
when it was SIS, ,635, 100000. But
it is interesting to note that on ap-
proximately the same amount of in
debtedness the United States at this
time is paying annually about
$3.50, 100000 less interest than it
did on the government debt during
the fiscal year beginning June 80,
1919.
The present Indebtedness of the
United States government and all
state and municipal debt is estimat-
ed at the sum of s44,481, 7,851,
or an Indebtedness per capita of
$35266.
The national gross debt of the
government of Great Britain alone
is 7,76S,970,OOO pounds, which is a
per capita Indebtedness of 173
pounds, equivalent at present rates
of exchange to about 1856.

Hi there. sweetness!" he called.
Hare you?"
The girl in the pink apron turned
away from the three-burner. Why,
Pete! Sweet Pete! You're early!'
And was Peter to blame If he missed
the signs of recent tears in the blue
eyes he bent to kiss?
"No-no luck, dear?" She hated to
ask, but she had to know. 1t mattered
so terribly-more even than he knew
now. She shuddered, remembering
the mornings visit to a doctor, the
questions, the kindly advice. the re-
turn to the one shabby little room.
She had thrown herself on the day
bed and wept.
Actually the first time she'd cried
since Peter was laid off, months ago.
They had tried to be so gay, so brave;
they'd even joked about 1t. After all,
they had health and youth and each
other: Mary had been fond OF quoting:
God gave them youth; God gave
them love; and even God could give
no more"
Well, he could, apparently. What
on earth would they do now? Trapped,
her mind had scurried about in circles.
The folks? No hope there; they
needed help themselves. poor dears.
Charity? Not If they could help it!
Oh, fixing hamburger six different
ways a week and wearing fresh house
dresses and playing double solitaire
and somehow living on the occasional
few dollars that Peter earned at
odd Jobs or the folks-bless 'emi-
could spare, was all very we'll
was even fun-for two. But for
three!
Starting out of her reverie, she re-
peated her question.

"But-"I'm going to try McNeils this
afternoon. and-maybe." His look i'm
plored her.
"Why, surely! OF course, you'll get
something! Sweet Pete"
She kissed him good-by and tucked
/ in his muffler.
What was that like. she wondered,
gathering up cups and spoons. Oh
like a little sons appealing glance
like tucking in small boys red
muf1er and sending him off to
school.
Poverty may come to me,
That's true.
But what care I?

UNIFIED LUMBER
PROGRAM is READY
Manufacturers and Retail Asso-
Citations to Join Hands
in Aid Plan.

An important and opportune CO.
operative movement for the better
ment Of the lumber industry will be
started wien the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association and the
National Retail Lumber Dealers As
sociation Join hands in a dealer-aid
plan especially designed to tie in with
the Federal Government S better hous-
ing program.
This cooperative effort between
the two great branches of the indus
try. brought about through a series
of staff conferences, was finally evl-
denced in an exchange of letters be-
tween L. P. Levin, chairman of the
Housing Committee of the National
Retail Lumber Dealers Association
and c. C. Sheppard, president of the
National Lumber Manufacturers As
sociation.
Realizing that the activities of the
Federal Housing Administration offer
the most hopeful opportunity in the
last several years to manufacturers
and distributors of lumber for secur
ing increased consumption of their
products wrote Mr.. Levin to Mr..
sheppard, We nave COIlSlucIto IL Olic
of our encumbent duties to see that
the lumber and material dealers in
our organizations do not suffer for
the lack of mechanical means to
profit to the utmost from the oppor-
tunities being offered under the ma
tional housing act.
Knowing that the staff of your
own association has been thinking
along these same lines, we have had
several conferences on the subject.
The net result has been agreement to
the establishment within the limits of
our respective facilities of an economic
vet hopeful program of service which
will be Jointly rendered all retail lum-
Der dealers who may desire it. This
service will provide both dealers and
manufacturers with professionally
prepared ready written material
easy and inexpensive for the dealer
to use in both newspaper and mail ad-
vertising and other forms of pub
liclty-thus tying-in effectively with
the local Federal housing activities.
1T seems fitting that our two great
associations, most interested of all
building materials in the success of
the national housing program. should
thus Join together in enabling their
memberships to take every advan-
tage of these new potential markets

slipped down on her shoulder, and
she could see his lashes lying along
his cheek in the moonlight.
Smiling, she gathered him up and

rested her cheek on his head. She
was free at last of the need to hide
from Peter every desire to cry, every
worry and resentment and economy.
But was she? She cleaned down
at him, asleep in her arm-her first
baby-and knew she must never tell
him that he had come close to death
because her song had almost failed
knew that courage is the first requisite
of life and faith the prime essential
OF love.
Well, she could be strong now: not
tensely and bitterly. but serenely
strong. 1t didn't matter so terribly if
hard times came again, or pain or
grief or even death. For these were all
but parts of life, and she, creator of
life, could weave them all into her
