sites Of life. We W seeking honest
ly and honorably 10 do this, irrespec-
tive OF class or group"
Referring again 10 the fact that the
Patman bill would pay the bonus
with new currency, MIR. Roosevelt
asserted:
In the majority Of cases printing
press money has not been retired
through taxation. Because Of in
creased costs, caused by inflated
prices. new issue has followed new
issue. ending in the ultimate vtplng
out Of the currency Of the afflicted
country.
"In a few cases, like our own in the
period Of the Civil War. the print
ing OF treasury notes TO cover an
emergency has fortunately not re-
suited in actual disaster and collapse
but has nevertheless caused this ma
ton untold troubles. economic and
political. for q whole generation"
Arguments til Considered

ing 81, 200, 000, 900 fer bonus payment
Is the best way OF Fastening recov-
cry Is so III considered that little
comment is necessary"
Every appropriation by New Deal
congresses for recovery purposes. he
commended, has been ~predicated not
on the mere spending CT money TO
hasten rec very, but on the sound
er principle OF preventing the loss
of homes and farms, Of saving indus
try from bankruptcy. OF safeguard
ing bank deposits. and most impor-
tant CT all-of giving relief and
jobs through public work to indl-
viduals and families faced With
starvation"
He argued that "the veteran who
suffers from this depression can best
be aided by the rehabilitation OF the
country as a whole" In advancing
this contention he mentioned the
fact that the same view had been
expressed several years ago "by the
distinguished senior senator from
Idaho"

ton. as well as the future welfare
Of the veterans. wholly juStifies my

president concluded.

Replying TO the argument OF the

tribute to business recovery, the
president said 1t doubtless would re-
suit In some expansion Of retail
trade but that TO resort to the kind
OF financial practice provided In this
bill would not improve the condi-
tons necessary to expand these in
dustries in which we have the great

The president pointed out that he
already had sanctioned a deficit OF
$4.O00.000.000 In order to finance his
huge work relief program.
Il cannot In honesty assert to you
that to increase that deficit this
year two billion, two hundred mil

financial markets remained calm
Wednesday as a fresh chapter In

sustain the chief executive.
