Il totally disagree with my critics as
to how they honestly can best be
aided. However, of our huge &c.
900, 100000 federal expenditures this
year, only Is per cent will go for
relief of the unemployed. The bal
ance is being spent for growing per-
manent bureaus, the army and navy,
farm relief, and pegging prices of
commodities such as silver and cot
ton.
Silver Purchase
Take the silver purchase program,
for instance. The United States
Treasury has bought nearly $1,OOO,-
100000 worth of silver from all over
the world in the last six years. We
have almost single-handedly fl
nanced the Mexican government by
our silver purchases. Our thanks for
doing so was the stealing of our oil
properties by that government We
have accumulated a mountain of
silver bullion at cost which is near
ly three times its commercial value
And the sum total of our efforts to
make silver monetary unit again
has been to destroy, perhaps for
ever. its monetary character in every
country where six years ago it was
part Of the currency.
There are other examples of the
disastrous results of our govern
ments meddling with natural eco
nomic laws. These various projects
have cost the nation billions Of dol
lars Which must be paid for in high
er taxes for years to come. Futher-
more, the cost of these disastrous
experiments will not be paid by the
Rockefellers, by General Motors, by
prosperous and growing concerns
such as those of my Illinois CORES
pondent. They will be paid by small
and struggling employers, by haras-
sed wage-workers and by low-sal
aried white-collar people through
hundreds of hidden taxes on the
necessities of life. ~: -~.s
Initiation Drawing Neareer
Unless the American people wake
up some. day soon and change their
character and goals, do not believe
that spending can ever be controlled
under our present democratic form
or government. Two years ago in
[flation was in the headlines. Every
one was thinking about it, talking
about it, hedging against it. From
news angle, however, it is now dead
as the proverbial door-nail. But in
flation is far nearer now than it was
two years ago. When it will strike
no one knows. My advice to readers
is: Remember that the United States
and the whole world is rushing pell-
nell toward initiation.

The budget, covering all purposes
