Costs More Than Food

A recent compilation by the First

that it costs Americans more to
support their government than TO
eat. The total food bill TO sustain
what President Roosevelt calls a
"third-class diet" is substantially

Program Doesn't Make Sense

Consider the contradictions In
this policy. The administration was
trying to hold down the nations
supply Of meat by restricting the
production Of hogs. Last fall it was
warning livestock men that there
would be increased supplies of cattle
on the market this spring. And yet
it proceeded to make concessions on
Canadian cattle that would bring
more of them into this country.
Such a program just doesn't make
sense. ALI NJ. Landon at Mime

Flood Control Approved
bv the President

TN HIS press conference President
L Roosevelt said government depart
ments are concentrating on flood con-
troll problems and that If congress
would pass bill appropriating a bill
lion dollars for that purpose he would
sign it, provided the measure put men
to work Immediately.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the Passama-
quoddy project in Maine and Florida
ship canal were eliminated because Of
the recent refusal Of congress to make
appropriations for continuance Of the
work. He said he did not contemplate
doing out relief funds for the prof.
ects and that there would be no funds
for the projects unless congress re-
versed its refusal.
On the same day the United States
Chamber of Commerce issued a warn
ing against encroachment of the fed
eral government on flood control prof.
ects which are the primary responsible
ity Of the states.
