This New Deal administration stands, as It has
declared too frequently to admit Of any doubt for
high ideals and clean government In fact, some
of its ideals have been so high that they flew
squarely in the face of that ancient handmaiden of
democracy, the United States Constitution. But its
government has not been spotlessly clean that
it has ever, for that reason alone, found itself at
outs with the political bosses of the Democratic
party, no matter how unclean those bosses might
be.

Jersey City. While the storms of Investigations
and court actions and defense committees rage

HOW ABOUT THE OTHER?

When recently assembled in Washington Little
Business made two distinct and fundamental re-
quests Of the administration
First, it wanted some cheap money that could
be borrowed over a longer term of years than pr-
vate banking can allow in order TO get back on its
feet.
Second. it wanted the government in Washing
ton to take at least some of its fingers from around
the neck OF private enterprise.
Washington has answered favorably the first re-
quest
1t has announced the availability of Sl,5O0,00O,-
900 of capital that business can borrow, If it has
the collateral.
But how about the other petition-that the gov
eminent remove its restraints and the impeachment
tations of binding and gagging laws, regulations,
restrictions and compulsions?
Washington has made no answer as yet to that
and this, in the Judgment of great many econo-
insists far more important than getting easy
credit.-Charlotte Observer.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WE'RE ON THE WAY

Many persons have been led to believe that the
federal government trimmed expenditures during
the past year Such is decidedly not the case hN-
penditures have risen steadily Exclusive OF Che
veterans bonus in 1856 for the past nine years
Of late, government revenues leaped to record lev
els, managed to narrow the deficit margin and thus
create financial illusion that is dangerously mis-
leading; for normally, smaller deficits would lnd-
cate actual economy.
Take for instance the regular operating eXpen-
ditures of the federal government, which INCLUDE
legislative, judicial and civil establishments They
rose from s637,OOO.OOO in 1888 to $814,OOO,Ooo
in 1887. Likewise consider for moment pubic
works, which includes such items as public high
ways, reclamation, flood control, public buildings
etc. This rose without halt from S458,OOO,Ooo IN
1888 to over $1,0OOOO0.00O in 1887.
And there is a popular belief that relief OF spend
ing was recently rigdly curtailed. Yet otfIcIa!
financial statements show that from 1888 to 1885,
expenditures for unemployment relief, which IN
clude direct relief, work relief, and the CNhan
Conservation Corps also rose without halt from
sS359, 000.00 to $2,466, 100000.
If you do not believe these figures take a look
at the total estimated federal debt for the end OF

total debt in 1931-S16,8O 100000 1t takes no

Senator Bailey has been secured by the anti

When, later on, however, the planters vote tnelr

No amount of argument or logic that el'ner oeh-

The AMERICANS ASK. AFTER
EUROPE, WHAT NEXT?
by BRUCE CATION


erican people have proclaimed resentfully
against anything that looked even family
like protection or the part of the United
States. Today they are still proclaiming
publicly. but not as resentfully, and reports
from certain South American Foreign Ot-
fees indicate that privately the resentment
has Just about disappeared.
For South and Central America, along
with the rest of the world, are watching
the European situation and specializing on
the future. Our southern brothers have
seen members of the League Of Nations
and signatories of the Briand-Keilogg anti
war pact invading The territories OF other
league members and pact signatories, and
they are considerably aisilrsioaed about
the values of treaties and pa--s.
They have looked around at their own
continent, rich in raw materials ut rela-
lively poor in military strength, and some
of the pictures they can cOnjure up aren't
too pleasant
So these South and Central American
leaders have begun to look toward the
United States for protection, and to con-
slider that perhaps Uncle Sans navy is the
strongest barrier between them and poten-
tial invasion.
And, according to correspondents, South
American governments have been exchang-
ing views on a project for an inter-Ameri-
can military naval alliance. Through this,
all South and Central American armies and
navies would cooperate with the United
States in repelling an attempted invasion
of any American country.
On paper this plan sounds fine. There
isn't much doubt that a combination of all
American military and naval forces could
repel any invasion-if it came as an armed
attempt TO conquer a country or a CONT
nent.
The trouble is that a foreign invasion
probably won't come that way. The newer
method is to bore from within and to an
mex government by propaganda and con-
version, infiItration, trade concessions and
influence.
The military alliance idea is great. but
it is just as much to the point to watch
present methods being employed in Cen
trail Europe and to find E way to fight fire
with fire, if We really want to keep the
Americas free Of foreign dominance
