Observations
from Washington
Spending Run Riot
" Congressman Harold Knutson

Spending Run Riot
Treasury Department figures re-
veal that government expenditures
for the years 1888 through 1887 to-
tai % billion 356 million dollars.
When we stop to think that up to
the beginning of the World War the
total expenditures under all Presi-
dents, from Washington to Wilson,
totaled 26 billion 81 million dollars
it will be seen that Roosevelt has
spent nearly ten per cent more in
the past five years than was spent
in the preceding 127 years.
The 1888 budget estimates called
for an expenditure Of Z billion 7S1
million dollars but since then Mr..
Roosevelt has asked for Az billion
additional for pumppriming pur-
poses, making a staggering total of
IL billion 281 million dollars for the
year which will mean a federal
debt of 3OO.91 for every man, woman
and child in the country.
ask in all sincerity, is it right
to mortgage the future of three or
four unborn generations to a point
where it will mean for them lower
living standards, lessened opportu-
mites and greater burdens when
cheaper and better ways are at
hand? For years preceding genera
tons have been denounced for de-
spelling our forests and other nat
ural resources but what will future
generations say of us. who are
bleeding the country white and sad
ding unnecessary burdens on three
or four generations yet unborn?
OF course, this tremendous spend
ing is going to make business bet
ter for a little while but / do not
like to think of what the reaction
will be and we might well ask,
where are we going to find the
money with which to take care Of
similar emergencies in the future.
Thinking people are gravely con-
cerned and students of economies
freely predict that it must all end
in initiation, which, Of course, would
hit the middle class-the wage
Garner, the farmer, and the profess
sional and small business man the
hardest. AS a matter Of fact, we
must carry the major part Of the
load.

stitutions and forms Of government.
AS result of the Munich agree
ment, which officials here consider
neither a lasting peace nor settle
ment of the issues involved, this
government plans to concentrate
its interest and peace efforts IN
the western hemisphere.
An administration spokesman
said that there had been no mate
rial change in the foreign policy
of the United States, and none was
contemplated.
The spokesman bolstered his as
sertionS with an outline of the prin-
cipal points of our foreign policy
for the immediate future:
l. This government hopes Europe
may settle some of its controversies
by pacific methods, and would give
its moral encouragement to pos
sible regional conferences among
nations concerned. Officials do not
oelleVe, however, that there Is like
ly to be a general international
conference to attempt such settle
ments, and this government would
not desire to participate in any con-
ference.
2. Chances of achieving interna-
tional military disarmament at
this time or in the near future are
considered practically nil.
3. Administration officials con-
slider that President Roosevelt's per-
sonal messages to Chancellor Adolf
Hitler and other European leaders
preceding the Munich conference
were not at variance with the
United States historic policy of
upholding the sanctity of treaties.
