IS ROOSEVELT WORTH 1T?

The Philadelphia Record, when
is not a partisan, but a fair ana
outspoken newspaper, calls attenI
ton to the fact that the national
debt, in the last three years OF
Hoover. increased S6,236,OOO,0OO
and in the first three years OF
Roosevelt, increased S7,409,ooV'-
OOO-in other words, that Roose-
Welt has cost the country 81, 173,-
100000 more than Hoover. Us
Roosevelt worth it," asks the
Record, which proceeds to elucl-
date: .

nonsible waste of national credit"
s'burdening the future genera
lions" that a false impression has
been carefully built up in his mind.
1t is time the American people
went off their diet of elephant
baloney.
It is time the American people
stopped being guinea pigs for
Republican press agents.
Roosevelt, the "spender," has
increased the national debt Dil-
lion more than did Hoover, the
economical.
Has it been worth it?
Mariner Eccles, Governor of
the Federal Reserve Board, finds
that the national income has in
creased more than Is billions a
wear during Roosevelts admins
tration as compared with Hoo
ver's.
In a period of 80 months the
national income has increased
81 ~ billions over what it would
have been had the Hoover level
continued.
A horse that pays 81 for one is
a good horse on any track.
For that billion-dollar smaller
debt under Hoover we were get
ting a one-way trip downhill.
Conditions were never so black
as they were after Hoover had
rung up his six-billion debt in
crease.
Business hasn't been as good in
five years as it is today after
Roosevelt has run up his seven
billion debt-increase.
And recall that Hoover's defl-
cts were mounting year by year,
while Roosevelt's are decreasing.
The real waster was Hoover.
He wasted the nations manpower
in idleness, its banks, its homes,
it's shops, its business, its income
to "save money! And then didn't
save it.
We have not seen a more for
ceful, convincing statement of
the New Deal VS.. Old Deal case.
This should afford fertile
subject for future "potlatches" OF
the Flibberty League and its fav-
orite orator-Tampa Tribune.

The nationwide drive which
Mussolini has been conducting for
years to induce Italian women to
have as many babies as possible,
did look crazy in the face of the
fact that Italy seemed already
overpopulated. But Mussolini
knew what he was about. He was
fortifying himself against the day
when he would begin killing off
Italy's adult male population in
wars.

PROPHET GROUNDING AND THE
WEATHER


Weather Prophet Grounding, as they ap-
NV to this section, Winter should break
and disappear at an early date. In Hen
Jacksonville there was no opportunity Tor
the Grounding to see his shadow last Sum
day. 1t is reported that there was sum
shine in other sections of the country, but
here if was an ideal day for the animal
weather manipulation to begin his efforts to
dissipate particularly rough and extend
ed cold spell.
One thing is certain in connection with
the state of the weather and the TRADITIONAL
prophetic control exercised by the Ground
hog, and that is that the present opportun-
itv for the Prophet to do his stuff has
seldom or never been eXcelled. The
Weather Bureau goes back to the winter
of lgl7-1S to find records of cold weather
comparable to the present; and our best
weather-wise "old timers" agree that 1t IS
a humdinger which reminds them OF the
long ago. ...
A severe Winter brings problems to many
people throughout the country. More
food, clothing and fuel is required during
2 season of severe cold than during mild
Winter; and as the rough weather tends to
reduce employment and earnings, it multi
plies the living problems of the workers, as
we'll as the very poor people. In most cases
if also probably reduces the earnings OF
people gainfully employed and slows up
nearly all lines of business. 1t brings farm
work in the open to a standstill IN this Sec
ton and in the colder regions OF the eoun-
try.
At present it seems that general bust
ness conditions in this region have reached
a new low" during the past thirty days,
probably as a result of the activity of the
past Fall season and, certainly, affected i'll
2 large measure by the weather which has
prevailed since Christmas. However, the
people of this section have faith to believe
that Winter will break and Spring will re-
turn-in fact, they believe that Spring ap-
proaches-and they are locking to the tu-
ture with hope and confidence.
- Farmers believe IN the rule tnaC haIo
Winter is followed by a favorable season
for farming; and the rural population IS
anticipating prosperous year.
Manufacturers and other business men
are still having their troubles, but this
largeseetion of the populations is composed
of people who are accustomed to that sort
of life; and, following the experience o!
the past five or six year, almost anything
that happened would be in the nature OF
relief Business men are resolved to do
their utmost for the improvement OF condl'
tons; and with the understanding and
sympathetic cooperation of other elasse OF
citizens, business an industry should
make some progress during the year.
Thus it will be noted that the people OF
Hendersonville and this region are readg
to proceed with business as usual-or coll'
siderably more than usual-if Mr.. Ground
hog will Jump in and demonstrate that the
faith reposed in him through the years by
millions of followers has not been in vain

Busssr Md Samuel Seabury.
The British consul general, Sir Ger
aid Campsell, also went down the bay
in the special cutter with the well
corners to board the Queen.
Heavy Mail Delays Docking.
The delay in docking was due not
only to the welcoming ceremonies. but
to the heavy load of mail carried by
the liner
An official comparison of the times
of the Queen Mary and the Nor
mandie was not Immediately available.
The comparison was further COM
plicated by the fact that the Queen
Mary's crossing was measured from
Cherbourg Breakwater to Ambrose.
while the crossing of the Normandie
was measured from Bishops Rock
Light, at the entrance of the English
Channel, to Ambrose, 1913 nautical
miles shorter.

was stated the Queen Mary. after
leaving Cherbourg Breakwater at
7:35 pm. (E. S. T) last Wednesday,
passed Bishops Rock Light at Iii

On this basis, it took the Queen
Mary days hours and 38 minutes
from Bishops Rock to Ambrose.
Queens Average 29.1s3 Knots.
The Normandie's record for the
same distance was days, 3 hours l3
minutes and 80 seconds.

Mary, according to an unofficial an
nouncement, was 29.133 knots.
The average speed of the Normandie
on her maiden trip was 1854 knots.

dropped its anchors at quarantine for
the official reception.
As the liner passed abeam Of Am
brose Lightship, before proceeding up
the channel into New York Harbor,
many airplanes flew overhead and
three Army planes circled about in
formation.
Dozens of small craft hovered about
the ship-which,, with its'long, straight
hull, resembles more the old Maure-
tania-type of steamer instead of the
streamlined ships put into service on
