these two years the treasury deficits
are estimated at nine billion three

these deficits the President proposes

billions to refnance maturing govern

the next year and half.

Her sister replied that she had
not seen Sniff but had met Susan
Phelps.
IF I'd cared to pump her, might
have discovered what the fuss was
about. Sniff was so wonderful, SO
original. SO half dozen other things"
''Then you really found out moth.

ably hasn't penny left"
The three exchanged glances of con.
sternatlon. Ned was Smifs business
adviser and they feared knew what he
was talking about.
"And that isn't the worst of it."
Louise plunged on. "Ned thinks she
means to be a missionary. Girls,
couldn't bear it. You must help me to
stop her."

her" Lucy said. "She's very re-
ligious."

gested. The others caught at this idea
with enthusiasm; even Louise, who did
not like to be parted from Smif, con-
sidered 1t desirable alternative. The

Of domestic life among the Head

This message Of the President was
4 addressed especially to the Amer
lean people. A few days before he
delivered another that was meant
more for the rest Of the world. 1t was
his speech on Woodrow Wilson'S
birthday delivered at a dinner given
by the Woodrow Wilson foundation,
and In It he vigorously attacked po-
iitical leaders Of other nations for
frustrating the hopes of the peoples
for world peace. Ninety per cent of
the population Of the earth, he
averred, is DESTROYS that there shall
be no more wars; but the remaining
10 per cent are misied by politicians
who have imperialistic designs and
selfish motives.
Mr.. Roosevelt's peace plan, offered
to the world, may be thus summarized:
Every nation would agree to elm
mate over a period Of years and by
progressive steps all weapons Of of
Tense, keeping only permanent de-
fensive Implements. Each nation
could inspect its nelghbor to insure
against offensive weapons.
Every nation would Join in a sim
pie declaration that no armed forces
would be allowed to cross Its borders
Into the territory Of any other nation.

effective unless all nations agreed the

istration and all the allied collectiv-

In plain, forceful language, Mr..
Roosevelt declared that the old meth

that the new social and economic or

national recovery legislation must be

position to this, he asserted. is found

meA, aboiishing child labor, establish.

The Presidents claim for farm re-

he: Actual experience with the OPP
Grafton Of the agricultural adjustment
act leads to my belief that thus far
the experiment Of seeking a balance
between production and consumption
ID succeeding and has made progress
entirely in line with reasonable ex-
pectations toward the restoration Of
farm prices to parity"
Brief allusion was made to the war
debts. and 1t was stated that stabil-
ixation of the dollar is impossible at
present because certain other nations
are Handicapped by internal and other
conditions. The message referred
specifically to the disclosures before

who ''evaded the spirit and purpose

people to suppress "crlmes Of organ

especially aroused the supporters Of
