FOR BIGGER AND BETTER DEFICITS

1t cannot be urged in reply that $3O-a-week
plan would unbaance the budget. Not only is the
federal budget already heavily unbalanced, but 1t
is the official new deal theory that it is very
good thing that this is What brought the 1887
depression we have been told repeatedly, is that
the budget was I'm fact being balanced then.
What is needed, they tell us, is an excess Of eX-
penditures over receipts; for this puts money
into circulation, creates purchasing power and
brings a boom. But does not the $30-a-week scheme
do all these things and do them better because on
bigger scale, than the comparatively picayune
new deal outlays? On all these premises, indeed
the only defect in the alliterative S3OeveryThurs
day plan is that the involved is not larger. 1t
may soon find itself hard pressed by rival schemes
to pay every one 40 years Of age $50 every
Friday or $50 every Saturday. And how would the
advocates of $30-every-Thursday be able to point
in their turn to the "fallacy" in these rival
schemes?
1t is not surprising that the new deal economists
should find themselves outbid, and not surprising
that they should be embarrassed regarding the
proper answer to these latest schemes. For many
of them have recently talked if it were reac-
tonary to add up the totals of farmers subsidies,
reactionary to assess the financial cost Of the So
cial Security Act, reactonary to discuss the bur
den of relief reactionary to worry about un-
balanced budget. Yet these considerations are
merely the same government generosity looked at
from another direction. One firm moorng from
which to look at any financial scheme is bal
anced budget and the necessity of keeping 1t. But
when this and other standards are abandoned,
what are the limits to the governments generosity,
and how are they determined? Until these ques-
tons have been answered clearly hardly
blame a bewildered voter who does not know the
distinction between short cut to Utopia and the

A MUCH ABUSED WORD

Perhaps the most perverted and mis-
used word in use today in this country is
the word LIBERAL.
Thousands Of cheap politicians and shit
tv demagOgues bent on hoodwinking and
toOling the people are shouting themselves
black i'm the face, crying out that they are
liberals.
Many Of these fellows have little concep-
ton Of the meaning Of the word. They do
not recognize a true liberal when they meet
one. All they know is that it seems to be
popular to shout that one is liberal and
it is Il successful vOte-getting device with
certain classes of citizens better known for
numbers than for intelligence.
One of the plaineSt facts of record in
the present unsettled conditions of the ma
ton is that very few, if any, Of those per-
sons Yelling themselves hOarse in the effort
to establish their liberalism, are liberals.
Nine-tenths Of the number are RADICALS.
No radical Of any kind or degree is a
liberal. or can be what is truthfully called
= liberal III politics OF III relation to public
affairs.
Socialism, communism, faScism, nazism,
and dozen other iSms, imported into this
country from more Or less distant parts OF
the world. are each the opposite, the anti
thesis. of liberalism.
Moreover, liberalism cannot exist where
these other isms hold sway. How much
liberalism exists today in Russia, Italy OF
Germany?
Again, it is one of the best known facts
Ito intelligent and unprecedented citizens)
in relation to national conditions, that the
blocks of voters and the radical leadership
now claiming exclusive right to be known
as liberals, are of all classes of the cOun-
hy's citizens the most reactiOnary. They
throw the charges of tory, reactionary,
royalist and various other opprObrlous cpl
thets. at all who disagree with them, but
the fact remains that the most reactionary
citizens of the nation are the radicals.
Their schemes and tricks, social and
economic policies, political professions, are
us old as civilization. They have been tried
many times in the history of nations and
always found wanting.
Another fact about this current radical
ism is that those who profess and practice
it and are striving to deliver the nation to
the control of the cohorts of reactionism
and governmental failure, have turned
their backs on democratic government, on
he American system Of government, on
liberty and freedom, and have turned to a
system of oppression that is popularity
called the totalitarian State. This is the
system, no matter by what name called,
that exists in the radical countries OF
Europe.
The radicals of this country, who call
themselves liberals, are misusing and mis-
applying the word. No true radical is a
liberal. Radicalism of the kind now ram
pant in this country is the most reactionary
ism known to modern civilization.

WIND AND FIRE
FOLLOW QUAKE
in EL CENTRO

Wind, fire and an auto
crash struck Ell Centre at
the same hour Tuesday night
but caused only slight dam
age.
A 4O-mile gale swept through the
valley at o'clock, blowing rain
clouds into Arizona with a mini
mum of precipitation recorded in
Calexico and FL Centro.
No damage was reported in any
section of the valley as the wind
died soon after its stiffest blast.
Firemen of FL Centre answered
an alarm at the home of Club Err
win just a few minutes before the
wind hit its peak. The blaze, which
started in an oil stove, was extin-
guished without damage to the
house.
Police were called to the Orange
street crossing during the height
of the wind storm TO investigate an
accident which involved Minnie
Harrison's auto and a Southern Pa
cific engine.
Only slight damage TO the car was
reported. Minnie Harrison was un-
injured but badly scared.
