"Cheap At That Price"

! IL three years our net national
debt has increased eight billion do
lars. But in two years Of the late
var it increased as much as 25 bill
lion dollars. National defense and
| the future Of America were invOlv-
ed in 1888 Don't you believe that
the saving of America has been
cheap at that price? 1t was more
than defense-it was more than res
cue. 1t was an investment in the
| future of America.
And, incidentally, tonight as an an
niversary in the affairs of our gov
with you and the American people.
1t is October l, and it marks the
end Of a whole year in which there,
has been not single national bank
failure in the United States. 1t has
been 55 years since that kind of a
record has been established. You
and | can take this occasion to re
ioice in that record. 1t is proof that
the program has worked.
Compare the score board which
you have in PittSburg now with
the score board which you had
when | stood here at second base
in this field four years ago. At
that time, as | drove through these
great valleys, | could see mile after
nile of this greatest mill and fac
tory area in the world, dead
panorama of silent black structure
and smOkeless stacks. | saw idle
ness and hunger instead of the
whi"l of machinery. Today as |
came north from West Virginia,
saw mines operating, | found bus
tie and life, the hiss Of steam, tie
rims of steel on steel-the roaring
song of industry.
Paid BY Increased Income
And now word as to this fool
ISL fear about the crushing load
the debt will impose upon your
children and mine. This debt is
not going to be paid by oppressive
| taxation on future generations. 4
is rot going TO be paid by taking
away the hard won savings of the
present generation.
It is going to be paid out of an
| increased national income and IN
creased individual income produced
by increasing national prosperity
| The deficit of the national gov
ernment has been steadily declin
| ing for three years running, al
though technically, this year it did
not decline, because we paid the
bonus this year instead of in 1945
Without the bonus the deficit would
| have declined this year.
"Faster Than We Dared Hope"
TIE truth is that we are doing
better than we anticipated in 1888.
The national income has gone up
/ faster than we dared 1hen to hope.

lions and this year it will be well
over 60 billions. If it keeps on ris-
ing at the present rate, as | am
confident that it Will-the receipts
within a year or two will be Suf-
liCient to care for all ordinary and
relief cvpenses of the government
in other words, to balance the an
nual budget.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 1.-(AP)-
Following Is the text of President
Eoosevelt's speech tonight a.
Forbes Field at Pittsburg Thursday
night, October 1:
A baseball park is a good place
to talk about box scores. Tonight |
am going TO talk to you about the
box score of the government of the
United States. ] am going to tell
YOU the story of our fight to beat
down the depression and win re-
cover. From where | stand it looks
as though the game is pretty we'll
il the bag.
am convinced that when govern
ment finance or any other finance
is honest-and when all the cards
are on the table-there are no
higher mathematics about it. 1t is
just plain score-board arithmetic.
When the present management OF
your team took charge, the national
score-board looked pretty bad. In
fl ct, it looked so much like a shut
cut that you voted a change OF
management in order to give the
country chance to win the game.
And today we are winning it.
Back To Decent Prosperity"
When the new management came
to Washington, we began to make
oar plans-plans to meet the i'm
mediate crisis-and plans that
would carry the people of the coun-
t~y back to decent prosperity.
We saw the millions out of work,
the business concerns running IN
the red, the banks closing. Our ma
tional income had declined over SO
per cent-and, what was worse, IT
showed no prospect of recuperating
Is itself. By national income
can the total of all income of all
the 125, 100000 people in this coun-
try-the total of all the pay en-
velopes, all the farm sales, all the
profits of all the businesses, of ali
The individuals and corpora tions in
America.
During the four lean years before
this administration took office, thai!
national income had declined from
81 billions a year to 38 billions a
year-in short, you and I,-all of u,
together-were making 43 billion
dollars less in 1882 than we made
in 1929
Now, the rise and fall of nationa.
iIcome-since it tells the story of
how much you and | and every
bJdy else are making-is an index
O. the rise and faN Of national pros
rerity. 1t Is also an index of the
prosperity of the government. The
money to run the government comes
il turn depends for it's size on tho
size of the national income When
incomes and values and transac-
tons are cn the down-grade, then
tax receipts go on the down-grade
too.
keep People Out OF The Red"
If the national income continues
10 decline, then the government
cannot run without going into the
red. The only way to keep a gov
ernment out Of the red is to keep
the people out Of the red. We had
The Coolidge examiner., 1936-10-09

| Over a billion and a half went
for the payment of the World war
veterans bonus this year instead
OF in 1945. That payment is now
out of the way, and is no longer Il
future obligation of the government
"Spent 1t For Something
AS for The other 6h billions of
the deficit, we didn't just spend
money-we spent it for something.
America got som mething for what we
spent-conservation of human re-
sources through CCC camps and
work reliet; conservation of natural
resources of w ter, soil and for
est; billions for security and a
better life. While many who crit
iciZe today Were selling America
short. we were investing in the
future Of America.
Contrast these expenditures and
what we, got for them with GER
tain other expenditures of the
American people in the years be-
tW cen 1920 and 1880. During that
period not merely eight billions but
many more billions came out OF
American pockets and were sent
|ahroad-to forei&n countries where
the money was Used for increasing
foreign ornaments, for building for
eign factories to compete with US,
for building foreign model dwell
;ngs, swimming pools and slaughter
houses, for giving employment to
the foreign unemployed-forei
boondoggling, if you will.
"Good American Money"
Those dollars we're just as good
earned-just as much the reward
OF our thrift-as the dollars We
have spent 1T he ne giving work TO
the unemployed. Most of those dol
lars sent abroad ire gone for good.
Those billions, lost to us under pre-
vious administr9 lions, do not in
c!ude the other billions loaned Dy
the United States to foreign gov
erments during and Immediately
after the war.
ask yoT the simple question:
Hasn't it been 4 sounder isve3t-
ment for US during these past three
years to spend eight billions fo'
American industr,, American farms.
American homes and the care of
American citizens?
| have used the figure of eight
billion dollars as representing the
net increase in our national debt.
Immediately pee Ole will rush into
print or run to The microphone 10
tell you that my arithmetic is all
wrong. They will tell you that the
increase in the national debt is 10
billions instead Of eight That is
techinacally and morally Just as
correct as if someone were to try
to scare you about the condition of
your bank by telling you of IT'S
liabilities ana nor telling you of its
assets.
That is techini cally and morally
just as correct rs telling you good
people here in Pennsylvania that
none of your bank deposits or in
i&Uronce policies are sound.
When you are told that the United
States treasury has 13' billions
more Of liabilities than it had in
1888, you should 1lso be told that it

assets to set Of against these liza
bilities.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TURNS

Ito balance the budget of the Am meri
can people before we could balance
The budget of the national govern
ment.
That makes common sense, does
1T it?
The box score when the Demo
cratic administration came to bat
iii 1853 showed net deficit in our
national accounts Of about $1,000
! 100000, accumulated in the three
previous years.
National income was in a down
ward spiral. Federal government
revenues We're in downward
slira,. To pile on vast new taxes
would get us nowhere because

CHOKES TO DEATH ON
FIRST BITE OF FOOD

Desperately hungry after going
for days without food, Ernest
Christoffersen, a seaman by trade,
walked into a branch of the Y. M.
C. A. in New York City. Without
saying a word, he dashed into the
kitchen. The first bite of food ne
saw was crust of bread. He took
it down in one gulp, and began to
cough. All efforts to dis,odge the
crust from his throat were in vain,
and he choked to death.
The Coolidge examiner., 1936-10-09

To have accepted that advice
would have been to offer bread
lines again to the American pc ople.
knowing this time that in many
places the lines would last for long
er than the bread. In those dark
days, between us and a bala aced
budget, stood millions of needy
Americans, denied the promise of
all American life.
"Crime Against People"
To balance our budget In 1893
cr 1884 OF 1885 would have been
a crime against the American peO-
pie. To do SO we would cithCr
have had 10 make a capital .e ~
that would have been confiscatory.
or we would have had to set our
face agains human suffering with
callOus Indifference. When AIneri,
cans suffered, we refused to pass by
on the other side. Humanity came
first.
No one lightly lays a burden on
the income of a nation. But this
vicious tightening circle of our de-
clining national income simply had
to be broken. The bankers and
the industrialists of the nation
cried aloud that private business
was powerless to break it. hey
turned, as they had a right to urn.
to the government. We accepted
the final responsibility of govern.
ment, after all else had failec, TO
spend money when no one else had
money left to spend.
l adopted, therefore, the other
alternative l cast aside a dc.
nothing for wait-and-see policy.
AS a first step in our program
we had to stop any quick spiral OF
def.ation and decline in thu ma
tional income. Having stopped
them, we went on to restore pur.
chasing power, to raise values and
to start the national income I'D.
ward.
In 1888 we reversed the policy
OF the previous administration. For
the first time since the deprt sion
you had a congress and an admin
istration in Washington which had
the courage to provide the neces.
sary resources which private in
terests no longer had or no longer
dared to risk.
"Pian Is Working"
This cost money. We knG,Y In
March, 1888, that it would cost
money. We knew that it woulG cost
money for several years to come.
The people themselves unders, ood
that in 1888. They understood it
III 1884 when they gave the ad.
ministration full endorsement of
it's policy. They knew in 1885 and
they know in 1886, that the Plan la

Now let us look at the cost. Since
we could not get the none! by
taxes, we borrowed it and increas-
ed the public debt.
