Next on the Federal program for
eonsideration when the new Con-
gress meets is a much bigger and
broader scheme of public works
than has yet been announced, fin
anced partly by Government loans
to localities, partly by direct Gov
ernment grants of money. The
theory is that if the Government
spends a billion dollars it will Gre
ate four or five times as much bust
ness, with consequent real work for
the unemployed. Nobody knows
yet. because the Administration
plans are not complete, how big
this new Public Works program
will be. There is talk of "five
billion a year for five years." but
that is only talk thus far.
How to do this and keep on with
the other lines of work in which
Uncle Sam is spending money,
without resorting to currency in
flation, is keeping some Of the fin
ancial and economic experts awake

course, a great initiation of credit
worked by the same system that
was used during the war. The
Government sells its bonds to a
bank, taking a deposit credit on the
banks books for the price paid.
The bank then can, in turn, when
in need of currency, 'hock' the
bonds with the Federal Reserve
Bank and get brand-new Federal
Reserve notes, which, in effect,
have nothing back of them but the

3O-HOUR WEEK

President Roosevelt's power viii
be tested early in the 74th Congress
by inflationary, bonus and othel
"blocs", it appears.
Although the election was gen.
orally construed as a personal en-
dorsement of the President, spokes-
men for the ultra-progressives have
already disclosed plans to push
legislation frowned upon by the
White House in the past.
The battle for cash payment of
the $500 million dollars soldiers
bonus may be the first. Represen-
~tative Patman (Democrat), of
Texas, already has assurance that
the bill will be labelled mo. l" in
the House. Bonus advocates are
expected to demand assurance of a
vote from ~speakership candidates.
Senator Elmer Thomas Demo
'crat), of Oklahoma, is expected to
open the initiation drive even be-
fore Congress convenes, with the
hope Of obtaining action before the
regular program is shaped.
Administration leaders are con-
lfident hat the President will rule
Congress. The real hope of the
bloc leaders, they say, is to create
so much sentiment for measure
that the White House may agree
to a compromise. This practic'
was followed in the last session.
Among the "bloc" proposals, il
addition to the bonus and papel
initiation ire:
Complete reconciliation of silv
|er, urged by the SILVER bloc"
Creation of a central bank t
tissue all money.
Enactment of a mandatory 80.
hour week law, with exceptions.
A soak-the-rich plan of taxation
boosting the present high inheri
lance and income taxes.
A new eva plan, with fund.
enough to provide jobs for all un:
employed.
Refinancing of all farm indebt-
edness with green back" currency
Administration leaders = have
evidenced an intention to prepare
the administration program a
speedily as possible to prevent thu
"blocs" from swinging into action
One of their aims is a short SEES
sion of Congress. By rushing
through the administration pro.
gram, leaders hoped to be in
position to declare adjournment be-
fore many group measures hav'
reached the voting stage.
Advocates of a central bank Of
issue, on which the administration
has turned thumbs down, gained ar
ally in Senator Borah (Republi.
can), of Idaho. The movement
for this institution has been spon-
sored by Democrats and Republi-
cans.
Leaders of the American Fedora.
ton of Labor are convinced, from
answers given by candidates in
Iquestionnaires, that there will b
more sentiment for a 3o-hour
week. Senator Black (Democrat)
of Alabama, who once pushed a
3o-hour week bill through the
Senate, may lead the movement.

Building Enthusiasm
The Second Step
Planning Public Works
Central Bank, In Effect
Leveling Out Politics

The biggest noise in Washing
ton just now arises from the en-
rhusiasm over the plans of the
Federal Housing Administration to
go ahead at full speed with the
building Of millions of new house:
all over the United States.
Under the first section of the
Housing Act some $4,000 indivl-
dual loans have been made by banks
and other lending agencies fol
home modernization. These arc
instalment loans made by private
capital under a Government guar
antee against loss. The banks have
welcomed them partly because Of
the guarantee and partly because
there is a net yield Of nearly 10 pei
cent profit in them.

Now the Second part of thu
plan, Of organizing national lend
ing associations and encouraging
existing institutions to finance new
building at 5 percent on long term
mortgages, with the same Govern
ment guarantees, is being started.
Whether it will get under way as
fast as the determination loan part
of the plan is still uncertain. The
Administration, however, will put
all the pressure possible behind it.
bent upon three detectives.
First, it wants to get workers ii
the building trades back to work
as soon as possible.
Second, it wants to induce pri-
vate capital to come out and dc
some work as soon as possible.
Third, it wants to reform the
whole mortgage racket and es-
tablish an entirely new national
system, under which nobody will
have to pay more than 5 percent
interest on mortgage loans.
This BODYBUILDING program is
very close to the Presidents heart.
If it works as hoped, it should put
many many billions of dollars into
circulation and relieve the u,lem-
'ployment burden as nothing else
has done.
