World

New York, June O-(AP)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, gazing into the flu
ture. today predicted that history
would say his "long range budget"
had been balanced.
This calculation, the President de-
clared, would be based on survival
values for our population and for our
democratic way of living, balanced a
gainst what we have paid for them"
in addition to the usual items of gov
ernment income and outgo.
Addressing the teachers who COM

/. Spoke of countries where lih-
raries have been burned, learned peo-
pie exiled, universities dispersed and

and through democracy with educa-
ton, for no people can be kept eter-
nally ignorant or eternally enslaved."
The Presidents speech to the teach

After that, he drove across the
fair grounds to the education build

er, introduced him.
The budget balancing remark was
prefaced with a declaration that "the
only real capital of a nation is it's
natural resources and it's human be-
ings."
eff we skimp on that capital, if we
exhaust our natural resources and
weaken the capacity of our human be-
