An Economist S
Viewpoint
By ,JOhu I. Flynn

The controversy which Is arising
about the proposed new-style, SICK
method of keeping the nation S
books may turn out to be one OF
those things which will help to
clear up some foggy ideas about
national finance which have been
persisting for six years.
For one thing 1t will help TO
clarity the position Of those who
from the beginning have advocated
spending and at the same time
a balanced budget.
I recall that at the beginning OF
the Congress when in this column l
urged a balanced budget but at
the same time warned that any
serious reduction in government
spending would produce a depreS-
sion. many people very critically
asked me to make up my mind
where l stood. You want the
budget balanced but you want the
government to spend and you don't
even object to borrowing-what
are you talking about?"
It is an amazing thing how long
il takes to get simple problem
of public finance understood.
The key to all this lies in the
difference between government in
vestment and government spend
ing. And the key to the present
confusion about the federal budget
lies in the failure to correctly dis
tinguiSh between these two things.
The government can balance its
budget now by adopting the rule
Of paying for relief and recovery
efforts which produce no offset
ting revenues out of tax revenues.
Then it may engage in whatever
adventures it chooses in the field
of investment and raise the money
for that purpose by means OF
bonds.
If the government spends a bill
lion dollars for housing, raises the
billion by issuing bonds, and then
rents the houses for a sum Suffi-
cient to pay the interest and amor
tie the principal, there is no need
to include those expenditures in
the budget. If the government finds
it necessary to SubSidize such a
housing development, the subsidy
should be counted as an eXpendi-
ture.
1t is this perfectly sound prin-
ciple which is now being misused.
The plan now is to use the word
investment" to cover a multitude
of expenditures which are not in
vestment. Money spent on soil con-
servation, on WPA, on grants to
states, on bridge and highway
building which are outright eX-
penditures and will never come
back to the federal government
are not investments no matter how
desirable the expenditures may be
But the discussion serves to out.
line not merely wise bookkeeping
policy but a wise financial policy
That policy may be stated thus:
That the government vii en-
gage in useful low-cost housing
construction throughout the United
States to be financed by govern
ment bond issues, the housing pro
duction to be operate on a basi
to yield interest and amortization
charges; that the government vii
at first subsidize housing develop
mentS in part but such subsidie
to come out of tax moneys; ant
that all government expenditure
not susceptible of recapture shal
be paid for out of tax money.

Bruce Catfon Says
- Democracy, Like Charity, Begins at Home

American principles of freedom and
decency. 1t is going about a pro-
gram of specific instruction in
those principles.
The office of education in WASH
ington. too, is launching on a
project for a series of nationwide
broadcaSts to be called Americans
All-Immigrants All The pro-
grams will tell how America by
making use of the talents and abili-
ties of citizens of many races,
creeds. and lands, is forming a
rich and distinctive culture of its
own. These programs will be re-
corded and made available to
schools through the office of edu-
cation.
Thus America strikes for free
dom and democracy with the best
weapon of all-the determination
to make life under democratic
forms SO superior to any other that
no spurious claims of other forms
can ever undermine it.

NO SUREFIRE TEST FOR D.WL
Riverside Press

Drunks behind the wheel are potential
murderers and certainly drastic prosecu-
ton should follow wherever it is shown
that a driver who figured in an accident
was intoxicated.
But blood tests and other tests have
not been shown to prove drunkenness
conclusively in all cases. Doctors and
courts still are looking for fool-proof
proof.
A recent case in Toronto points up
the fact that capacity to absorb alcohol
without drunkenness ensuing varies with
the individual.
According to a blood test, the driver
of an automobile that killed a man should
have been absolutely drunk-unable to
walk or answer questions. Yet the driver,
said the coroner, appeared quite normal
and showed no signs of drunkenness.
No drink at all while at the wheel of
an auto is the safe rule, but science has
yet to devise a sure-fire test for drunken
ness.

WOODWARD HORSE IS ENGLISH CHOICE

London, Jan. 13-(UP)-An Amer ican-owned and bred horse. Fox borough II, was established winter book favorite for the English derby in the first call-over of odds tooay.
 Foxborough II, owned by William Woodward, New York banker, was quoted at 5h to for the Epson Down classic on May 24.
 Although the derby has been won twice by American horses, onl yone of them was foaled in America That was Iroquois, owned by M. Lorillard,> of tne tobacco clans, which won in 1881.
 Other prices quoted in the winter books were:
 Lord Roseberry's Blue Peter 8-1; Lady Zia Wernher's Casanova 12-1; Edward Esmonds Fox Cub 12-1; Mrs. James Corrigan's Panorama 12-1; the Aga Khan's Dhoti, Will liam Woodward's Hypnotist and Mrs. D. Thomas Rogerstone Castle, all at 14-1; Sir John Jarvis Admiral's Walk and Sir Abe Bailey's Meadow 16-1.
 The low price on Peterborough II is unusual for this time of year and is based entirely on form shown during two races as two year old Peterborough II did not race until the end of September, when he won over the sharp last five furlongs of the fiat mile at Newmarket and followed with clear-cut victory in the Middle Park stakes.

HIGH SCHOOL
 HOOP RIVALS
 GO SATURDAY
Wi1by Favored to Win on Record, But SchOfeld=
 CTS Improved

Tomorrow night Crosby and Wilby renew their rivalry on the basket ball court at the Wilby gym. Wilby with an unusually brilliant array Of basketball talent will be the favorite, but Crosby's astonishing improve ment in it's last two games, makes the game once more one of those affairs in which almost anything can happen. Ten days ago Wilby was riding high. With the classy Joe Kalosky, the old Speedboy star, with the brilliant Bus McGrath, with Mcfarland, Duncan, Bartkus, Switz. all well tried veterans, assisted by the brilliant Kalosky junior, the fiashy Rinaldi and the clever Brickel Wilby had and has wealth of basketball material capable of meet ing any high school team in the state. The team sailed smoothly through all opposition until it struck snag last Saturday night in Tor rington, when a very close game was dropped 26-30. In spite of this defeat, Wilby must be regarded as a very strong quintet, but its edge over Crosby Is not today what it was two weeks back.
 Crosby, after losing four regu- lars from last season, Brady, Woods, Lyons and Holmes, got away slowly. With football running through Thanksgiving, Coach Schofield could not get practice started until De- cember, and with four positions to fill, it was inevitable that the team would get away slowly. The first games were dropped to Ansonia and Harding, but then came com- plete reversal of form when the Blue and White journeyed to Ansonia, and instead of meekly submitting to the teom which had already beaten it 34-26; Crosby about faced and whaled the Lavender 46-14, holding Ansonia to two baskets. Barely rest ed from that game, Crosby played the strong Torrington club bang up game all the way, only to lose it at the very end by 34-39 count. Crosby's sudden revival in these last two games must be taken into con- sideration in doping out the game Saturday night. The Wildcats still rate the edge, but it is only a slight one, and if Verbyla or Carr begin to find the range, the Wilby clan may find themselves in the midst of a battle they had not anticipated. In three league games to date Crosby has averaged 30 points and permitted its opponents to average 27. Wilby in two league games has also averaged 30 points while hold ing the opposition to a A average. Again the comparison shows only slight edge to the green.
 Interest is running high in both schools. Wilbyites scent a victory and will be on hand to root for their favorites. Last fall with Crosby fac- ing almost certain defeat, the Cros- by student body with several hun dred less students, bought more tickets than their rivals. The usual big colorful crowd is expected again tomorrow night.

.UNDEFEATED WOLVES RISK
 LOCAL RECORD
Able Bristol Boys Club Array at North End ""
 Tonight

The North End "" Wolves, the North Ends leading cage five, will bump into their first real opposition tonight at the Hut when they risk their unbeaten record for three years on their home floor against one of the crack outfits of New Eng land in the Bristol Boys Club five.
 Coach Fred Jacovino's red clad outfit will be up against 8 sea- Soned band of cage veterans in the Bristol invaders, including such for mer high school stars as Joe MaSi Dobreski, Joe Varnaesi and others. The team from Bristol has won twelve straight games this year in- cluding two victories over the strong New Britain Boys club Varsity which is the only team to hand the North End "Y" Varsity a setback. They are heavy favorites over the Wolves because of their experience and size.
 On Edge
 Last night Coach Jacovino sent his full squad through a hard work out against the zone defense for the invaders will use this type of play on the small ''Y" floor. In spite of their up and down play of late, the former Wilby Star will stand pat on his usual lineup for the start of the game. The Wolves are leading the "" loop, but the opposition tonight will be much stronger than in the league, and the large following of the team is hoping for reversal of form A victory by any margin from the Bristol crew will definitely es- tablish the Wolves as threat in the city. Mike Haiday, Capt. Ricciuti, the Leece brothers, Herb and Bob, and Lou Chestone are set to go for the Wolves with Stan Valeski, Jim Morris, Tony Jazz and Dom Coviello in reserve.
 Good Game
 A banner preliminary game be- tween the North End "" Tigers and the Bristol Indies will open the program at 8:30 with the main game going on immediately afterward. Dapper Henry Jacovino will referee the main encounter. The probable lineups:
