Cheap Cuts of Meat And How to Use The
by B. Maryn
Requests from members Of the Better
Buyers Club have come in for hints and
suggestions on food budgets. The high
price Of meat has become quito pro-
blem.
One Of tho ways Of solving this prob
lem is to use cheaper cuts Of meat. Those
cuts just as nutritious and wholos ono
as tho moro expons i've ones but require a
little longer cooking and a little moro
ingenuity in preparing.
For example CHUCK (25G lb. on
choice and 49, on modim) can be used in
several ways:
l. Makes excellent pot roast.
2. If cooked slowly will mako fino
roast.
8. Swiss stoak. (Ask the meat cutter
to cut a thin slice like a stoak)
The prico will be q littlo higher
than chuck roast). Cut into
serving sizes, roll in flour or
crumbs, fry in hot fat till brown,
add one cup Of wator, cover and
allow to s. nnor for : hour.
4. Buy a small roast depending on
size Of your family. Cut bones
out and use for soup. Use rnoat
for hamburger; cut up into
small pieces and use for stow or
chop suoy.
Another economical and seldom used
cut is BREAST OF BEEF. (sells for about
l2G pound. This cut at first glance
looks as though thoro might be a lot Of
waste to it. However, the bono makos
excellent soup; the meat if cooked slow
ly will make good roast. If boiled, cold

gram I am thinking not only of
the immediate economic needs
of the people of the nation, but
also of their personal liberties
the most precious possession
of all Americans. am thinking
of our democracy and of the
recent trend in other parts of
the world away from the demo-
cratic ideal.
Democracy has disappeared in
several other great nations-not
because the people of those ma
tions disliked democracy, but be-
cause they had grown tired of
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 govern
ment. Finally. in desperation,
they chose to sacrifice liberty in
the hope of getting something
to eat. We, in America, know
that our own democratic insti-
tutions can be preserved and
made to work. But in order to
preserve them, we need to act
together, to meet the problems
Of the nation boldly, and to
prove that the practical opera
ton of democratic government
is equal to the task of protect
ing the security of the people.
The Washington times., 1938-04-15
Effects Uneven

But 1 know that many Of
you have lost your jobs or have
seen your friends or members
Of your families lose their jobs,
and 1 do not propose that the
Government shall pretend not to
see these things. 1 said in my
message opening the last session
Of Congress that if private enter
prise did not provide jobs this
spring, Government would take
up the slack-that I would not
let the people down. We have
all learned the lesson that Gov
eminent cannot afford to wait
until it has lost the power to
act.
Therefore, have sent a mes
sage of far-reaching Importance
to the Congress.
In that message I analysed
the causes of the collapse OF
1929 in these words: "Over-
speculation in and over-produc-
ton of practically every article
or instrument used by man
millions Of people had been put
to work, but the products of
their hands had exceeded the
purchasing power of their peck
etbooks Under the inexor-
able law of supply and demand,
supplies so overran demand
which would pay that produc-
ton was compelled to stop. Un-
employment and closed factories
resulted, Hence the tragic years
from 1929 to 1888"
The Washington times., 1938-04-15
Measures Proposed

I went on to propose three
groups of measures and will
summarize the recommends
tions.
First, I asked for certain ap-
preparations which are intended
to keep the Government expend-
itures for work relief and SINH
lar purposes during the coming
fiscal year at the same rate of
expenditure as at present. That
includes additional money for
the Works Progress AdminiStra-
ton; additional funds for the
Farm Security Administration;
additional allotmentS for the
National Youth Administration,
and more money for the Civil
ian Conservation Corps, in Or
der that it can maintain the
existing number of camps now
in operation.
These appropriations, m a d e
necessary by increased unem-
ploymenC, Will cost ABOUT a Dill
lion and a quarter more than
the estimates which sent to
the Congress on the Sd of Jan
uary.
Second, I told the Congress
that the Administration pro-
poses to make additional bank
reserves available for the credit
needs of the country. About
one billion 400 million dollars
of gold now in the Treasury
will be used to pay these addi-
tional expenses of the Govern
ment. and three-quarters of a
billion dollars of additional
credit will be MADE available
to the banks by reducing the
reserves now required by the
Federal Reserve Board.
The Washington times., 1938-04-15
TWO Steps Taken

These two steps taking care
Of relief needs and adding to
bank credits are in our judg-
ment insufficient by themselves
to start the nation on a sus-
tanned upward movement.
Therefore, come to the third
kind of Government action which
I consider to be vital.
The third proposal is to make
definite additions to the pur-
chasing power of the nation by
providing new work over and
above the continuing of the old
work.
First, to enable the United
States Housing Authority to I'M
dertake the immediate con-
struction of about 300 million
dollars of additional slum clear
ance projects.
Second, to renew a public
works program by starting as
quickly as possible about one
billion dollars worth Of needed
permanent improvements in
States, counties and cities.
Third, to add 100 million dol
lars to the estimate for Federal
aid highways in excess of the
amount I recommended in Jan
uary.
Fourth, to add 81 million dol
lars over and above the former
estimate of So million dollars for
flood control and reclamation.
Fifth, to add rs million dollars
additional for Federal buildings
in various parts of the country.
In recommending this pro-

Goods Piled Up

then said this TO the Con-
greSS:
But the very vigor of the re-
covery in both durable goods
and consumers goods brought
into the picture early in 1887
certain highly undesirable prac-
tices, which were in large part
responsible for the economic de-
cline which began in the later
months of that year. Again pro-
duction outran the ability to buy.
There were many reasons
for this over-production. One
was fear-fear Of war abroad,
fear of initiation, fear of nation
wide strikes. None of these
fears have been borne out.
Thus by the autumn of 1897
the nation again had stocks on
hand which the consuming pub
lie could not buy because the
purchasing power of the con-
Stunning public mad not kept pace
with the production.
The Washington times., 1938-04-15
NeW Problems Coming

The ever increasing evolu-
ton of human society will doubt
less bring forth new problems
which will require new adjust
ments. Our immediate task is
to consolidate and maintain the
gains achieved.
In this situation there is no
reason and no occasion for any
American to allow his fears to
be aroused or his energy and en-
terprise to be paralyzed by
doubt or uncertainty.
l came to the conclusion that
the present-day problem calls
for action, both by the Govern
ment and by the people, that
we suffer from a failure of con-
sumner demand because of lack
of buying power. 1t is up to US
to create an economic upturn.
The Washington times., 1938-04-15
Not Like 1888

Five years ago we faced a
very serious problem of eco
nomic and social recovery. For
four and a half years that re-
ccvery proceeded apace. 1t is
only in the past seven months
that it has received a visible set.
back.
And it is only within the past
two months, as we have waited
patiently to see whether the
forces of business itself would
counterfeit it, that it has be-
come apparent that Govern
ment itself can no longer safely
fail to take aggressive Govern
ment steps to meet it.
This recession has not re-
turned us to the disasters and
suffering of the beginning OF
1888,

Message Quoted

I pointed out to the Congress
that the national income-not
the Governments income but
the total of the income Of all
the individual citizens and faIni-
lies of the United StateS-every
farmer, every worker. every
banker, every professional man
and every person who lived on
income derived from invest
ments-that national income
amounted, in the year 1929, to
eighty-one billion dollars. BY
1882 this had fallen to thirty
eight billion dollars. Gradually,
and up to a few months ago, it
had risen to a total of sixty eight
billion dollarSa pretty good
comeback from the low point.
The Washington times., 1938-04-15
Prices Increased

During the same period . .
the prices Of many vital products
had risen faster than was war
ranted In the case of many
commodities the price to the
consumer was raised well above
the inflationary boom prices of
1929. In many lines of goods
and materials, prices got so
high that buyers and builders
ceased to buy or to build.
g.. The laying off of workers
came upon us last autumn and
has been continuing at such a
pace ever since that all of us,
Government and banking and
business and workers, and those
faced with restitution, recognize
the need for action"
The Washington times., 1938-04-15
Dictatorship Peril

History proves that dictator
ships do not grow out of strong
and successful governments but
out Of weak and helpless ones. If
by democratic methods people
get government strong enough
to protect them from fear and
starvation, their democracy sue
ceedS, but if they do not, they
grow impatient. Therefore, the
only sure bulWark of continuing
liberty is a government strong
enough to protect the interests
of the people, and a people
strong enough and well enough
informed to maintain its SOW
ereign control over its govern
ment.
We are rich nation; we can
afford to pay for security and
prosperity without having to
sacrifice our liberties into the
bargain.
1t is going to cost something
to get out of this recession this
way, but the profit of getting
out of it will pay for the cost
several times over. Lost working
time is lost money. Every dav
that a workman is unemployed,
or a machine is unused, or a
business organization is mark
ing time, is a loss to the nation.
No doubt you will be told that
the Government spending pro-
gram Of the past five years did
not cause the increase in our
national income. They will tell
you that business revived be-
cause of private spending and
investment. That is true in part,
for the Government spent only
a small part of the total. But
that Government spending acted
as a trigger to set off private
activity. That is why the total
addition to our national produc-
ton and national income has
been so much greater than the
contribution of the Government
itself.
You may get all kinds Of i'm
preSsions in regard to the total
cost of this new program, or
in regard to the amount that
will be added to the net national
debt.
The net effect on the debt Of
the Government is this-be-
tween now and July /, 1899
Is months away-the Treasury
will have to raise less than a
billion and half dollars Of new
money.
The Washington times., 1938-04-15

the national income, to putting
more people into private jobs,
to giving security and a feeling
of security to all people in all
walks of life.
Therefore, 1 am determined
to do all in my power to help
you attain that security and
because I know that the people
themselves have a deep convic-
ton that secure prosperity of
that kind cannot be a lasting
one except on a basis of bust
ness fair dealing and a basis
where all from top to bottom
share in prosperity.

quite that simple, of course,
reserve to meet the demands
Of depOsitors.
However, two years ago the
banks had so much excess
money on hand for lending
purposes that the Government
was afraid of initiation. The
Government was afraid that
money would be loaned on
doubtful speculation, encOur-
aging stock market gambling
and another boom like the
one that collapsed in 1929.
Consequently, every time
the Government bought gold,
it borrowed to buy the gold
to keep down excess bank re-
ServeS-unlike the good, old
days when it was cash-and-
carry.
Now, having the gold, with
bank reserves smaller than
they were, with money needed
for relief and public works,
the Government will spend
its gold. This is being done
by issuing to the banks gold
certificates worth 1881, 900,
900.
These Treasury certificates
will go into the banks as new
money.

Warning that they should not read newspapers, should not listen to the radio, that they should not even discuss the case with their families, was imposed upon the group of fO0<odd jurors called in the Waterbury conspiracy case at about o'clock today by Judge Ernest A. Inglis, presiding.
 Emphasizing the importance of keeping clear of any outside in fiuence," Judge IngliS told the crowded prospective talesmen that they must refuse to talk about this case even to members of your own families"
 The occasion for the pronounce ment by the trial judge was the ex- cusing of the jurors subject to ex- animation of the score accepted tentatively by both prosecution and defense counsel. In this connection, the judge outlined procedure, say- ing that the prosecution might ex- anime one juror first. the defense. the next juror first, alternatively.
