highest for any period of similar

products must come from decreased
production on summer pasture or
from increased demand by city con-

What happened? The stock mar

London is spending more than

must get foreign exchange immedi-

is now waging an aggressive and
successful campaign to block the
Reich's trade expansion plans.
One very important reason why
observers predict European show
down this spring is that the Reich
must strike now-while her might is
still supreme-or suffer eventual
diplomatic defeat. Moreover this
economic supremacy of world de-
mocracies will have the same effect
on dictatorial Italy and Japan.
Congress
Most Americans do not realize
that the bulk of New Deal reform
measures have been adopted in one
form or another. But practically
everyone realizes the cost of re-
form has been tremendous, that the
public debt now stands at $40, 000,-
900, 900, that the treasury has cur
rent deficit of 81, 200, 000,00 With re-
form achieved, President Roosevelt
is willing to join conservatives in
two mutually desired ambitions, bal
ancing the budget and helping bust
ness get back on its feet.
Chief arguments concern the
method. New Dealers, whose pro-
gram is voiced by Secretary of Com
merce Harry Hopkins, would re-
move oppressive taxes and hope
that the resultant boom would swell
federal Golfers, balancing the budg-
ct without eliminating necessary"
activities. Most businessmen and
many congressman would take an

willing to raise it, or even to ap-
prove the new budget, congressional
Republicans have found strong sup
port in rebellious Democrats. Their
spokesman is Mississippi's Sen. Pat
Harrison, who came out for a fiat

ing: "The country's credit is good
and I don't think we have reached
the debt danger point, but the stop
