though his criticism
was directed primari-
ly against what he
conceives to be these
elements in the New
Deal, he summarily
indicted the national
leadership Of the Re
s publican party on the
q ground that it "seems
~ wholly unwilling to
Senator Borah touch this vital issue"
namely, the monopolistic trend.
The senator said the Roosevelt
regime was establishing not Nazism,
not Fascism, not Communism, but
simply that meddlesome, irritating,
confusing, undermining, destructive
thing called bureaucracy" And bureau
crazy he defined as "that form Of gov
eminent which steals away mans
rights in the name Of the public in
terest and taxes him to death in the
name of recovery" Bureaucracy, the
Idaho senator asserted, "has destroyed
every civilization upon which 1t has
fastened its lecherous grip"
1t is the common man who will be
the chief victim of our new bureaucrat-
ic form of government, the Idahoan as
serted. The influential and powerful
have demonstrated that they "can gen.
orally obtain all the rights and privi-
leges they desire under any form of
Dnt hn GGfrAodnrn and
political rights" of the toilers are be-
ing more and more limited, whether
under European relationships or the
American bureaucracy.
WINDING up it's fiscal year, the
w federal government found that,
counting emergency expenses, it had
spent about 000,000O00 more than
it had collected. Balancing receipts
against ordinary expenditures, the
government figured it was $2S,000,000
''in the black" for the year.
President Roosevelt has estimated
nearly $5,OOO000,000 would be added
to the national debt by emergency ex-
penses during the next IL months.
This was predicated on recovery that
would make industrial production av-
erage 90 per cent of the 1923-25 level.
In July, 1885, the President hopes
to start the payoff for the recovery
program. By that time, he has said,
the budget should be balanced.
According to the federal reserve
nd ind1lcfria1 nrOd1a.
ton figure for the year just ended
was slightly above the 81 per cent av-
erage on which the President based
his hopes.
TWO events in recent days have en-
l. phasized the friendship that exists
between the United States and Can
ada. The first was the dedication Of
the new International bridge span
ming the ST. Lawrence between Roose-
veltown, N. Y, and Cornwell. Canada.
Secretary of War Dern represented
President Roosevelt at the ceremony,
and the earl Of Bessborough, governor
general, was there for the Dominion.
The second event, on July 4. was
the return to the Canadian government
of the mace of the parliament OF up
per Canada that was taken during the
War of 1912, at the battle of York,
and had been in the Naval academy
at Annapolis ever since. On recon-
mendation of President Roosevelt
congress authorized the restitution of
the mace. Rear Admiral William D.
Leahy. chief of the bureau Of naviga-
ton. accompanied by his aid, Lieut..
Com. Ernest Fl. Won Heimburg, made
the presentation at Toronto and at
tended the unwilling of a monument
erected by the United States Daugh-
ters of 1912. to the memory of General
pike and others of the United States
forces killed during that war.
THERE was a general scattering of
i administration chieftains following
the departure of President Roosevelt.
Secretary Roper went to Alaska and
Secretary Morgenthau to a Montana
ranch. Secretary Dern sailed for the
Canal Zone, and Secretary Swanson
and Attorney General Cummings were
down on the lower Potomac on yachts.
Secretary Hull took motor rides in the
Virginia mountains. Secretary Farley
was in New York, and Secretary Wal
lace went to Chautauqua. Secretaries
Ickes and Perkins remained at their
Job. General johnson went to Sara
toga Springs for rest, Harry Hop
kins sailed for Europe and Professor
Tugwell went to the Far West Lesser
lights also left Washington.
MEXICO elected a new constitu-
/ 1VA tional president-Gen. Lazaro
Cardenas-and 1t was the Quietest
election in the country's history.
