GRADUAL DECREASE

Cleveland, Aug. 16-(AP)-Re-
ductions in federal government
pump printing as a result of defeat
of the lending-spending bill should
be 'tapered off" until private enter
prise can compensate for decreases,
Col. Leonard P. Ayers, Cleveland
economist, contended today.
In his monthly review Of business
conditions, Coloney Ayres warned
that
eff important decreases in fed
eral spending develop in the COM

ficiently to compensate Tor thsm,

Business activity is making good
progress at present, the economist
pointed out, but asserted short
term implications of the lending
spending bills defeat are "disquiet-
ing" because it means 'the flow
of pump-priming expenditures will
probably be considerably reduced

By MRS. G. ID. Lowe,

President. D. C. Congress of Parents and
Teachers.
1t is at this season of the year
Thanksgiving time-that attention
of parent teacher people is directed
toward the more practical aspects
CT their work. They. perhaps better
than any other group of volunteer
workers in the city-Well know the
needs of the people who are classed
as less fortunate" and student aid
chairmen in local Congress units
all over the city are busy providing
for these needs.
Some of the associations provide
baskets of food from their own
funds or from voluntary contribu-
tions of individual members; others
assist the children in the schools
in the distribution of the baskets.
But whatever the task, you may be
sure it is we'll and cheerfully per-
formed, and I venture to say that
all of the families, whose children
have been cared for by our student
aid committees, will be provided
with baskets of food-enough to
tide them over for several days,
and to bring to their family circles
the concrete evidence that they
have not been forgotten.
In spite of the fact that much has
been said about our very special
reasons for Thanksgiving in the
United States this year, feel that
I must add my Endorsement also.
We mothers of the country-to
whom has fallen the task of bearing.
rearing, and in great measure
training the present generation of
young people, have very definite
and real liability toward the preser-
vation of that life for which we have
been responsible. We, who have the
right and in whom reposes the trust
to say "yes" or mo" when govern
mental policies are formulated,
should weigh long and carefully the
question of international involve
ment; we should remember the years
Of careful and anxious watchfulness
over these young lives entrusted to
our care: we will not be able to forget
the trustful eyes of our babies when
they were totally dependent upon
us, and we cannot, without due and
just cause, deprive these babies (now
grown to young manhood and wom-
anhoo6 from the sense of security
we have fostered in them by sur
rounding them with the best that
civilization affords in education,
living conditions, and we hope, un-
derstanding.
We must guard ourselves against
propaganda, in whatever guise it
presents itself; we must think first
as mothers, and then as citizens;
we must remember that once life has
been taken, it cannot be returned;
and should the situation become so
tense that war seems the only solu-
ton we must be very sure that that
war is one of defense of the inalien-
able rights of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, before we give
our consent to it.
1 firmly believe that upon the
shouldres of the mothers OF this
country rests the gravest RESPONSE
bility of all times; let us make sure
that we appreciate that trust, and
that we discharge it in the best
possible manner.
