The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-02-03

Let's look at our last normal
year-1929-1930 That year the
Federal government spent in
round numbers $4,000,000 900. Of
this huge sum we spent $2.225,-
$4,000 on war-past wars and flu
ture wars. This was for the Army
and Navy, pensions, interest on war
debts, retirement of war debt. In
other words, out of every one of
Uncle Sans dollars spent in 1929
30, we spent 557 cents for war.
This left only 44.3 cents for all the
other expenses of the government.
TN the last fiscal year the or
n binary expenses of the gov
eminent were 1921 900 900. OF this
$4,000 100000 was for war - 81
cents out of every dollar.
Now we are in another fiscal
year. What we will spend no one
can say. The President told us on
Jan. 7 that the general expenses of
the government this year, exclusive
of emergency relief, would be S.
654, 100000
Since that time some changes
must be made. We will have to i'm
pose a new tax to take the place
of the outlaWed processing taxes.
But We will have to add another
$200,00O00 to take care of re-
funds. Also, we must add $2,000,-
100000 for the bonus. Therefore,
the total expenditures, exclusive of
emergency relief, will be about ST.
8500OO,0OO.
How much of this will be for
war? In the budget as it stands is
nearly a billion for national de-
Tense, and $790,000,000 for vet
Grams benefits and administration,
and about $900,o0000O in retire
ments and interest on the war
debt. Add $4,000 100000 for bonuses
and you will have a total of $4,-
100000, 000-a little less than so
cents out of every dollar.
XXTHILE we consider the ques-
W of neutrality, it would be
we'll to remember what war costs.
The price must be wrung out Of the
hides of the people, not for year
but for generations. This appal-
ling cost will go on year after
year and still we make little or no
impression on the gigantic war
debt of 16 billion dollars which we
owe from the last war
And this year, aside from the
exhausting demands of the bonus,
we have the greatest military eX-
penditures on the Army and Navy
we have ever had in year of
peace. And this by a President
who stoutly and persistently pro-
tests that he is devoted to the
cause of peace.
We rail at relief costs. at recov-
cry expenditures and at unbalanced
budgets. 1t is not the emergency
costs, big as they are, that make
budget balancing impossible. 1t is
war.
War is crime not merely
against civilization and culture,
against our young men. 1t Is
crime against good business.

STOCK MARKET
WEEK IN REVIEW

By United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Stocks and
bonds advanced last week, COM
modities were mixed, the dollar
dropped, and business leveled off
seasonally.
A burst of buying in industrial
issues enabled the stock list to close
January at the best levels since
1881. Bond averages reached rec
ord highs with the exception of the
second grade rail average and that
touched new top since 1884.
Initiation talk predominated and
had an adverse influence on the
dollar and some influence on stocks,
although the behaviour of bonds
and commodities precluded the in
fiation argument.
! Traders were elated when the in
dustrial shares swung into line
with the railroad and utility issues
which had been rising consistently
most of the week. Gains in idus-
trial stocks on Friday ranged to
more than 5 points.
Utilities in Demand
Utility shares were in demand
most of the time on outlook for
higher earnings. New highs for a
year or more we're made by such
leaders as Consolidated Gas, Co.
lumbia Gas and Electric. Com
monWealth & Southern was ire
mendously active and made a new
top.
Atchison, New York Central,
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
were among the many carrier
shares to go into new high ground.
Their gains for the week ranged to
more than 3 points.
ChrySler was buoyant Friday and
reached a new top since 1929. Gen
eral Motors got up to its best price
since 1890 and other motor shares
were higher. Passage of the soldier
bonus set off buying in the motor
| shares.
Stecls Move Higher
Westinghouse Electric made new
top since 1881 and other industrial
shares were strong. Steels moved
higher when United States Steel
and Bethlehem reported sharp
gains in earnings.
Farm equipment shares were
strong and active on buying re-
portedly coming from the West.
Building issues followed the trend
of building and made new highs.
Silver shares did little but gold
mining stocks were given a whirl
early in the week when it appeared
that inflationary legislation might
be reSorted to, to produce funds to
pay the bonus.
Electricity output made small
gain, while steel production slipped
back. Automobile output was down
again but there was some demand
for steel from the motor companies
indicating they might resume oper-
atlons on a large scale shortly. Car
loadings again declined but the loss
was small.

NEW, YOUTHFUL
RESERVE BOARD
ASSUMES TASKS
Revamped Group Has
Strong Powers to Curb
Use of Bank Credit.
BY RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-VaSt new
credit and monetary powers that
may affect the course of American
business for many years were in
the hands of a new and youthful
Federal Reserve Board today.
Steps to prevent government
financial and monetary policies from
promoting speculative boom in Sc
curity and commodity markets ap-
peared to be the first order of bust
ness of the new board. 1t has strong
powers to Curb use of bank and
other credit for speculative market
purposes.
These fall into four classes: Mar
gin trading in securities can be pro-
hibited; excess reserves of member
banks which form the base for a
possible expansion of credit by $780,
000000,000 can be erased by dou-
bling Of reserve requirements; the
system can sell it's $2430, 900, 900
government security holdings to re-
strict credit and banks can be forced
to restrict their security lending
business.
Face Knotty Problem
Imitation sentiment stirred up in
American security and money mar
kets which have sent stock prices
booming and the dollar lower has
brought the new boards credit prob
lens to the forefront and created
one of the knttiest problems ever
faced by Federal agency.
At the same time the government
was looking for new blood" to fill
vacancies in other financial
agencies. One additional member
is to be selected for the Reserve
Board
There are vacancies in the posi-
ton of Undersecretary of Treasury;
Assistant Secretary of Treasury,
Deputy g Controller of Currency
and the board of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp.
Not Alarmed by Huge Debt
The new Reserve Board compris-
ing Mariner S. Eccles, of Utah;
M. S. Szymczak, of Illinois; Ralph
w. Morrison, of Texas; John Nc
Kee, of Pennsylvania; Ronald Ran
som, of Georgia, and Joseph A..
Broderick, of New York, is expected
to be sworn in today. The new
board, headed by the energtic As
year-old EccleS is atively youth
full, the average age of the six ap-
pointed members being less than
so years.
Retention of MeSSrs. Eccles and
Szymczak on the new board and the
dropping of four of the old members
as we'll as recent Treasury resigna-
lions stirred talk of possible diff
ferences of opinion among Admins
tration financial leaders over New
Deal economic policies.
Messrs. Eccles, Szynlczak and
Morrison have advanced economic
views such as heavy government
spending to defeat the depression.
NJ. EccleS is not fearful of gil
gantic public debt to finance the
spending. He told the House
Banking Committee that the United
States could stand a public debt of
$97 900, 100000, compared with the
present debt of $50,500 100000.
