TAXES ARE DUE

WARM SPRINGS. Ga. - Presi-
dent Roosevelt limited Friday that
the next congress may be asked TO
impose emergency taxes for ma
tional defense. 10 finance OUTLAWS
OF more than s.. 000. 600 900 for the
armed establishments Of the

finance at a press conference Al
Warm Springs foundation. Roose-
welt asked the American people TO
decide whether they prefer TO
finance national defense BY borrow
ing or by a pay-as-you-go plan
based on new taxes
The question Ia moot, he said,
because il ls quite likely national
defense appropriations for the next

L Ugh T
Conservatives Hope
full President Learn
ed Economic Lesson
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON = De m o.
cratic conservatives and the
nations business community
are keeping an anxious watch
on the president. They are
beginning to hope that the
events of the last few months
have taught him a political
and economic lesson. 1t will
make life happier for both
these important groups.
The politicians suspect that he
profited from his experiences in
the neutrality battle. When the
curtain rose, they begged him to
let them play the heavy roles--to
keep his young understudies off
the stage. They also advised him
TO sugar" the Capitol Hill crowd
patronage and federal largesse,
smiles instead of frowns. He sur
prised them by giving a great ex-
hibition as a party papa, and they
astonished him with the size of the
vote for embargo repeal. They pray
that the era of political serenity
may last.
The business men, with a few
exceptions like the utility leaders,
have not been heavily harassed
for many weeks. No harsh words
have fallen on their ears for 30
long that they think they have be-
come hard of hearing. And the
economic indexes-national income
Unemployment gains - car load
ings-are shooting to new highs
since the 1887 crash. Some indi-
Gators top 1925 best figures. They
think that the president is inn
pressed.
The federal reserve index should
hit 125 for both November and
