RETURNING PROSPERITY INDICATED
BY LIGHT DEMANDS MADE ON RFC
Reduced Calls For Relief Keeps Budget Far
Below Estimates Made By President

mark by June 80, compared with es-
Inmates of three quarter billion dol
lars. In the first nine months they
were $267 7,330,234.
The apparent surplus under
proposed expenditures has made the
federal governments borrowing pro-
gram that much easier and has con-
tributed to the recent steady rise in
the government bond market. Whe-
ther this surplus" would be used
for other relief activities of the
government depends on the senti-
ment in congress toward appropri-
ating of government money for re-
habilitation of the building industry
or in establishment of a new system
of emi-government banks to make
direct loans to business.
The chief factor in the decrease
in RFC expenditures has been i'm
provement in the banking field
partly as a result of confidence en-
gendered by the Federal Deposit In
surance Corporation.
A total of $3.50, 100000 of RFC
money set aside for purchase OF
preferred stock and capital notes in
banks to strengthen capital has
been only half used and only a por-
ton of the sum set aside for loans
to closed banks has been used
Meanwhile, demands for loans from
other sources have declined and re-
payments have been considerably
more than anticipated.

afternoon with Miss Helen Marston
and Chester Williams representa-
tives of the American Civil Liber-
ties Union, General Pelham D.
GlaSsford who is investigating labor
conditions in the valley for the
federal departments of labor and
agriculture, left for San Diego.
1t was said today that while in
the coast city Glassford will prob
ably investigate certain literature
issued by the headquarters of the

This literature stated that a boy
colt of Imperial Valley produce
would be urged throughout the
country unless certain demands OF
the workers were met as to in
crease in wages and other matters
that have been in controversy here.

visit the union headquarters in San
Diego today.
During his recent Investigations
the subject of alien workers was
brought to the fore and as result
a meeting between the japanese
growers association and that of the
American growers and shippers
will be held at the court house to-
night to discuss this question fur
ther particularly in its effect on
the surplus of labor now existing

cannot furnish ample protection.
we will get our own. We shall not
consider union demands because
they are ridiculous. and We won I
deal with the A. F. of L. However,
we will negotiate with our own
workers in the plant
The strike came as elimination

WASHINGTON, April 23-The
governments most important relief
agency-the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation-is falling nearly ST.
000,000,000 under budget estimates
in its relief activities because of re-
duced needs.
the decrease to the greater than
expected improvement in business
activity which has allowed some
borrowers to repay loans and made
it unnecessary for other businesses
to ask for money.
When President Roosevelt COM
piled his budget figures for the fis-
cal year which ends June 80, he
set 5000, 100000 as the outside net
expenditures of the RFC, monthly
average of 1925, 100000.
In nine months of the fiscal year
the RFC had actually spent only
ST ,287 1854 300, or about 40 cents for
every dollar estimated in the bud
get.
AT this rate IL was estimated InaI
net expenditures would amount to
LIS 900 900, or $2,253 100000 under
estimates. 1t would appear that
! Chairman Jesse H. Jones recent es-
innate that RFC expenses would
fall half a billion under the bud
get was extremely conservative.
The extent to which the business
improvement has permitted cur
tailment of government relief is in
dicated by the RFC expenditures.
More than half of the governments
relief money was slated to be paid
out through the RFC. Expenditures
for relief through other agencies
such as public works, emergency
conservation and Tennessee valley
also are far under estimates but
show more money has been spent
than by the RFC.
Loans Being Repaid
Banks and other borrowers are re-
paying loans at the rate of $4,000, 900
daily and these payments are eX-
pected to reach the billion dollar

SILVER BLOC
IN DEFIANCE
Of PRESIDENT
Votes Support For Mandatory
Legislation At This Session
OF Congress.

WASHINGTON, April %. U.P)-
The senate silver bloc defied Presi-
dent Roosevelt today and voted to
support mandatory silver legislation
at this session of congress.
The vote was reached after two
hours of discussion at which the
bloc indicated wide divergence
of views as to the steps to be
taken.
Sen. Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, led
the fight for commitment by the
bloc to outright endorsement of
the pending Dies bill, with amend
ments which have been added and
which virtually provides for ma
tionalization of the metal.
Sen. Key Pittman, D. New, vet
eran advocate of silver legislation
led the opposition to outright en-
dorsement of the Dies bill and
urged instead that the group fight
for something which it was sure
it would get.
Many members, including Pitt
man, left the committee room when
the vote was taken.
Sen. Alva Adams, D., Colo, also
made the reservation that en-
dorsement Of the Dies bill left
members free to offer and vote for
such amendments as were deemed
advisable.
Sen. William E. Borah, R., Ida,
who seldom attends the bloc's
meeting was on hand today and
attacked the suggestion of further
permissive legislation which, he
said, put congress in a humiliat-
ing position"
Enactment of mandatory silver
legislation, he added, would not
imply disrespect for the President.
IF we believe we are right"
Borah added, lets go ahead"
Pittman suggested, as an alter
native to permissive legislation.
that the amount of silver that
might be purchased under the Dies
bill be limited to 100000, 900
ounces. This amount, he said, would
avoid danger of frightening even
the most timid banker on wall
street"
