PRESIDENT PRESSES FORWARD

Congressional authorization of the new $4,000
900 900 spending and lending program of the ma
tional administration, as recommended by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his latest message, will probably
be voted promptly.
majority of those upon whom rests the respon-
sibiitv of the decision will likely be eager to join
with the chief executive in his plan which Is de-
signed to coordinate all the energies of govern
rnent and business in drive to increase the ma
tional income to put people into private jobs
to give security and feeling of security to all
people in all walks of life.
Nobody who is familiar with the world situation
can dispute Mr. Roosevelt's assertion that democ-
racies have persisted and relationships sprung up
under the pressure of unemployment and insecur-
ity and confusion, weakness and lack of leader
ship in government.
1t is also easy to agree with his conclusion that
not only our future economic soundness, but the
very soundness of our democratic institutions de-
ponds on the determination of our government to
give employment to idle men.
Furthermore, as he said in his ireside chat: awe
are rich nation; we can afford to pay for security
and prosperity without having to sacrifice our lib
critics in the bargain
The Record is convinced that if business will CO.
operate intellectually in the ambitious program
for restoring prosperity, there is no reason why
the addition of billion and half to our natlona
debt may not amount to an exceptionally wise and
sound investment-and one which will enable the
government to reduce it's huge deficit and balance
the budget much more quickly than if we depend
on less heroic and more haphazard methods.-Iht

WE HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT

81, Congress has received another message from
President Roosevelt requesting billions IN appro-
priations again for public works and for relief pur-
poses. Granting the request would mean resump-
ton of government spending in a big way.
It's the old idea of pump-priming by means OF
the largess of an overload who has the wealth OF
the universe to- spend upon more or les helpless
and suppliant subjects.
Members of congress are definitely scared. The
idea of national debt of forty billion dollars IS
distinctly menacing. zee "
They fear the public wrath.
And besides that they are beginning to doubt
the effectiveness OF that sort Of thing,
Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, Democrat
seems to be leader of movement to check this
spending and is said to have the blessings OF Vice
President Garner -' S. ... ......~...
Senator Byrd thinks pump-priming as means
of terminating depression has been tried and
found to be valueless.
resumption of such a program, ne says will
further destroy public confidence among the people
and among business interests. ....
Senator Josiah w. Bailey of North Carolina also
thinks experience with this method OF Increasing
purchasing power should have taught the admin
istraton that it will not work.
Distributing money from the public treasury, es-
pecally with little or no return, has always been
popular legislation in congress, but good many
members right now seem to think the limit has
been reached. .. -.' 80
And that's what many back home think about it.

opinion on national problems, studied
today the advice of Charles p. Taft,
I'd, that I'VE offer the right program"
to win back those who voted for
Roosevelt in 1896 with their fingers
crossed"
Don't worry about the purchase
of the election through the expendi-
ture Of Government money" Mr.. Taft
told the committee at IN open forum
last night. Its effect In q general
election has been exaggerated. Such
purchase cannot be accomplished
against united conservative party.
Our main problem is intelligent
union"
Mr.. Taft, q member Of Cincinnati's
City Council, said the Republican
party had two tasks.
Would Expose Spells System.
"The first Is to show the people ex-
actly what the spoils system means to
them in money and in government
service they do not get. The second
Is to demonstrate their own good
faith and to convince the people that
when they get into power they are
going to enforce the merit system"
Another speaker was Robert L.
johnson, former relief administrator
Of Pennsylvania. who said that "un-
less q definite effort Is made to cur
tail unnecessary expenditures. bring
out efficiency and eliminate all po-
ntical raiders who are trying to use
relief for political purposes, we are
going to see an increase in relief rolls
