Hints Tie Up With
Other Programs

G.N.SO New taxes may be

huge national defense program
President Roosevelt revealed at
his press conference late today,
but he denied there will be any
"pulnp-priming" in connection
with the rebuilding of U. S. arma-
ment.
The President said national de-
Tense is non-self liquidating and
that therefore, in his opinion, it
should be on a pay-as-you-go basis,
even if it requires additional taxa
ton.
ANSWERS CRITICS
Mr.. Roosevelt's disavowal Of
any "pump-priming" in connec-
ton with national defense, was
designed to meet statements by
Administration critics that the big
New Deal spending will be con-
tinued under the guise of pre-
parednesS.
A few minutes after the con.
clusion of the press conference,
the White House attempted to
soften the Presidents references
to additional taxes. 1t was empha-
sized that the Chief Executive,
in discussing the tax phase of de-
tense, also said that new levies
may not be necessary.
MAY CUT BUDGET
1t was pointed out in this subse.
quent explanation of the Presi.
dents remarks that the pay,as-
you-go cost of armament may be
met with compromising reductions
in the budget.
The tenor of the explanation
was that additional taxes for de.
Tense would be avoided if at all
possible.
The President was emphatic in
his statement that there will be
no pump printing involved in the
defense program which he will
submit to Congress next month.
National defense, he said, is ma
tional defense-just that and
nothing else.
The President explained that
although national defense is not
self-liquidating, it might be cou-
pied with self-liquidating projects.
the nature of which he did not
mention, so that there might not
necessarily be an increase in the
total amount of taxes.
RELIEF LINK SEEN
While the President did not
pursue this point further, it was
believed that he was limiting at
the possibility of coupling the
huge relief expenditures, particu-
larly those through PWA. with
national defense so that the total
national budget might not have
to be increased over what it has
been in the past several yaa-7
