No Railroad Subsidy
New York World Telegram

President Roosevelt stood on firm ground yester
day when he opposed government subsidies to the
railroads
The subsidy proposal, put up to the President
at his conference with representatives Of railroad
management and labor has not been very thoroughly
explained But its essence seems to have been some
thing like this:
The government would guarantee to pay the roads
the difference between their earnings and some figure
agreed upon as fair rate of income. The roads would
maintain employment and wage rates and would
start buying needed equipment. That would stimu-
late the heavy industries. which in turn would give
the railroads business increasing their earnings
and decreasing the amount OF government subsidies
required.
1t might have been as defensibe method OF
pump printing as of the New Deal has tried in
the past Certainly the railroads in trouble
and certainly it is desirable that their employees
should be kept at work at good wages
Mr.. Roosevelt is right The government can |
afford to guarantee income to the sick railroad in
dustry if it does it will meet irresistible demands
to guarantee income to other national industries And
once the railroads become dependent on government
subsidies government ownership will be almost in
evitable.
What is needed as Mr. Roosevelt said, is a defin-
tic plan for fundamental solution of the transporta-
ton problem

WE DO NOT WANT TO TRADE OUR
LIBERTIES FOR FOOD

In his fireside chat the other evening, President
Roosevelt set forth a ve-pont program which IS
aimed to check the existing business slump and give
employment to a large number of jobless. First he
proposes the Housing Authority be given about three
hundred million for Stun clearance projects; second
a public works program of around billion; third
hundred million for highways; fourth additional
thrty-seven million dollars for flood control and
fifth twenty-five million additional for Federal
buildings in various parts of the country.
The program speaks for itself as a means toward
a definite end but the point the President made in
explaining why he is advocating such program at
this time is worthy Of serious thought by most
of us.
I'm recommending this program l thinking
not only of the immediate economic needs of the
people of the nation" the President said but also
of their personal liberes-the most precious possess
sion of all Americans I am thinking of our OWL
democracy and of the recent trend in other parts
of the world away from the democratic ideal.
Democracy has disappeared in several other
great nationsnot because the people of those nations
dislike democracy but because they had grown tired
of the unemployment and insecurity, of seeing their
children hungry while they sat helpless in the face
of government confusion, government weakness
through lack of leadership in government
Finally, in desperation they chose to sacrifice
liberty in The hope of getting something to eat We
in America know that our own democratic institutions
be preserved and made to work. But in order TO
preserve them need to act together, to meet the
problems of the nation boldly and TO prove that the
practical operation of democratic government equal
to the task of protecting the security of the people
Not only our future economic soundness but the
very soundness of democratic institutions depends
on the determination of our government to give
ployment to idle men The people of America in
agreement in defending their liberties at any cost,
and the first line of defense lies in the protection of
economic security. Your government seeking to pro-
tect democracy must prove that government is
stronger than the forces of business depression
1t may seem impossible at best remote to most
of but there is such thing sacrificing liberty
in the hope of getting something to eat" Evidence
be found of it in other countries where unempoy
ment reached point where the victims willing
to follow any if it meant food for themselves
and their dependents No of wants such a
condition to arise in this country, where and
trade their personal liberties for food. Until
nation master that problem of economic
ity for there always the danger We have
made progress through Social Security It
could be disastrous to falter when thousands OF
people without sufficient food let alone gen.
eral economic security.
