Debits and Credits.
(New York World-Telegram.

Secretary Morgenthau may be overly optimistic in his prediction that Government losses recovery loans and investments will mot be substantial" Y" But on the whole his accounting to the American people last night the state of the Governments finances candid and reassuring.
 His promise of monthly statement of the Governments balance sheet to keep the public in formed is especially comforting.
 Secretary Morgenthau does not need to take the defensive in the campaign controversy over the rising public debt. Americans know they have been going through the nations worst depression, which makes lower and higher expenditures inevitable
 gross debt since March of last year has increased S6 GOO 100000 and that the net increase has been $4 400 100000 against which may be offset $2,800,- 100000 profit" in the gold fund and $1,095 00O in increased assets.
 But we are lucky that the current deficit is no larger. Sound Government finance, like sound per- sonal and corporation finance requires the building up of in lush days to take care of rainy days. Instead through the boom period, we followed the Mellon policy of cutting taxes.
 Nor did the Federal Government recognize that rainy days had come until after the people had been drenched in more than three years of misery; and after private financial and industrial nstitu- tions had failed utterly to prime the economic pump and municipal and State governments had demonstrated their inability to keep the people from starving.
 Mir Morgenthau was justified in stressing the investment side of New Deal expenditures the in crease in the real wealth of the country in the form of better roads, dams, power plants publiS buildings forests land and the like.
 He might have gone farther and stressed those intangible assets of renewed courage and confidence that have contributed so much to the morale o the people

SECRETARY ICKEs READY TO AID.

Nothing is more encouraging in connection with tary Ickes who as Public Works Administrator, has been appealed to for financial assistance so that the city can be rebuilt on modern lines. The Secretary has expressed his willingness to lend every aid possible within the law. It is plain that he cannot go outside of the law, matter how istrator he has certain functions to perform. He must do them in specific ways under well defined regulations He is powerless to waive them
 He has two questions before him to decide. One, can he make an outright grant of Public Works money to the municipality to defray all the cost of public improvements? Second, he advance funds as a grant, or on a longtime loan basis, for the reconstruction of private residences? There is no doubt about his power to make combined loans and grants to municipal corporations Several of these have been made to Alaskan towns, including Juneau, Skagway, Wrangell and Seward But the grant is contingent upon the loan. Whether grants can be made without loans is uncertain As to private construction the Secretary, according to Associated Press reports, is inclined to the opinion he do it through the Federal Housing Cor poration. He has made no definite decision in the matter. however, deferring until his legal advisers have given him opinion.
 He has made it clear however that he wants to help. If it is legally possible he will If it isn't then some other way must be found to finance the rebuilding of Nome It must and will be rebuilt

 The eventual expectation is that the p sections will fit into 10 or II industry divisions The entire structure thus created is regarded sufficiently rationalized for the purposes of both government and industry at this time. It is not proposed by NRA that industries arbi- trarly consolidate their codes into p master cassifications the purpose being rather to devise and offer a plan based natural definitions of industries and trades written by the various groups The plan gives practical effect to system of grouping visioned when the first codes were being formulated and approved. tentative ob- jective is new total of about 250 codes to replace the 682 previously approved.

REPLACEMENT OF CODE GROUPINGS

The MIRA has taken another step looking to the more practical administration of codes of fair com petition. This revealed in the announcement of a virtually complete realignment of code group ings to conform to new fundamental classification Of all industries and trades It constitutes the most defnite step yet taken in the task of code CO., ordination Its sponsors believe it will advance mmeasurably the program of improvement whose immediate aim is greater efficiency and economy in the conduct of American business under the codes
 This basic classification, completed after studies od many months, assigned by General Johnson National Administrator, to specifically created economic unit corresponds closely to the groupings of the Census Bureau and of the international classification, but is considered to be more thor oughly developed than either
 The keynote of the classification is the recogni- ton of P classes within which every known in- dustry or trade has a definite place The new classification is based upon recognition of four basic groups of enterprises follows: CD Production of basic materials from the soil; @ Fabrication of what emerges from. the first group into finished products; @ Service industries ranging from trans portation, through finance to amusements, profes-

NEW DEAL VICTORIES CONTINUE.

Massachusetts in it's primary election Thursday gave another evidence of the popularity of the New Deal with the rank and file of Americans The issue in the Democratic contest for Governor was clearcut James M. Curley, Mayor of Boston for three terms and original Roosevelt man in the State, made his campaign in support of the Presi- dents policies Gen. Charles Cole, whose candidacy sponsored by Gov. Joseph B. Ely one of the most severe New Deal critics, anti-New Deal The result was an overwhelming victory for MT Curley.
 Maine Alaska Washington, California and other States in which either primaries general elections have been held. The evidence is absolutely con- vincing that the people in all parts of the country have not had their confidence in the President shaken by the widespread campaign of propaganda that has been leveled against him and his Admin istration since Congress adjourned.

Children
HIS QUESTIONS
By ANGELO PATRI

TURN about is fair play. E
l. would be more than fair play,
t would be recognition Of long
ignored right, If one allowed the
children to ask some questions. We
ask children questions all day long.
If they ask us any we are likely to
turn them away.
e Questions are q sign Of mental
activity In the children. If instead
nf prodding them with questions we
set the problem and tell them o.
question us, there will be greater
interest and more mental activity
than If we proceed in the usual
way.
The Kind Of questions a child asks
will let US into the secret of his
minds quality, the extent and the
depth Of his information. One can
not ask a question about a subject
Unless one knows something about
1t and the amount and quality Of
the knowledge is indicated by the
question.
A teacher showed a class q pic
tire of a city In India. Calcutta,
the name Of the city, was clearly
printed on the picture. "You can
ask any question you like about
this picture" said she. A smali
hoy near the picture raised his
hand Importantly.
"What ia It. Sam?"
I'D like to know what city that
isw
"AlI you have to do is to read
the name, Sam"
"Oh," said Sam. You don't need
to know anything more about Sam
than that In order to place him In
his class.
Then another child raised his
hand. ,"That's the city where the
soldiers died IN the Black Hole,
isn't It? I'VE always wondered
Why the English were in India.
Why didn't they 20 home and stay
away from country that treated
them like that? They have so much
trouble because the people don't
want them there. Why do they stay
there when they are not wanted in
other peoples country"
That from ten-year-old Richard
places him. Give the children q
chance to ask the questions. You
do the-answering for a while. Help
them to find the answers In their,
reference books.
IL Is possible for a child to get
good marks, in a subject and know
very little about It because his mind
has never questioned the subject.
And 1t is also possible for a child
to know a good bit about a subject
and get passing marks only because
the teacher didn't happen to ask
the question that opened the vein
of knowledge he possessed. II the
child does the questioning the
teacher is informed about his con.
dtion and the child is better In
formed on his subject.
