LIGH T
Spending Program
Has Precision of
Real Time Table

WASHlNGT0N-T h G adj
ministration has arranged its
1939-l940 spending program
with the precision of a politi-
cal timetable, although only
the operators of competing
political railroads appear to
sense its significance.
For June government expendi-
lures will reach 1889 pesk-a
net of about 1886. 900. 900 monthly.
They consist mostly Of PwA out
lays contracted months ago but
pouring into construction chan
nels only now. When they slump
off with the coming of cold
weather, national defense money
army, navy. aviation will stimu-
late industrial production; it's
mostly inside work that can be
performed in winter.
BY next spring primary and
convention season-the scheme for
self liquidating loans bridges,
roads, railroad equipment, ete.l
will be in full operation. In all an
estimated three billion dollars will
be expended. not including WPA
and AAA funds.
That amount should produce
economic--and political - prosper
ity. II explains why so many
smart politicos are beginning to
bet that the president can be re-
nominated If he wants it. It's
hard to beat that kind of a cam
paign fund.
The presidents desperate
attempt TO transform the de-
partment of commerce into
pulmotor TO business aud In
dustry threatens to flop. He
started too late and with the
wrong kind Of bumpers.
For seven years Roosevelt per-
mitted a politician -"Uncle Dam
Roper to let the department run
down. Then he sent in as pinch
hitter a man who means well but
knows almost nothing about the
day-by-dsy problems of business
and industry-Harry Hopkins. He
has a lot to learn about elemen-
tails, and it usually takes three
years for a man to master that
job.
Worst of all. Hopkins has de-
nuded the department Of experts.
and others like General Wood OF
Sears-Roebuek have quit in dis
gust. So did able Dick" Patter-
son. though he didn't publicize his
reasons. Under Secretary ED"
Noble is willing and earnest
enough, but he doesn't understand
the problems of the heavy indus
tries or exporters.
Congress must bear some Of
the blame, too. When Harry
asked for x250.000 to hire a
fresh staff of experts, Capitol
Hill cut II to $155 900. and Inn
tied salaries TO $500 year.
