PRESIDENT COMMENTS
The new budget contained
Roosevelt's philosophical comment
on the public debt, and a SHARP
complaint against the way 1t i,
discussed. He firmly asserted
there was no economic ground for
anxiety, so far as the public debt
is concerned. as to the nations
future.
But he complained that mere
statement that the public debt is
S42 900, 900, 900 without amplifica-
ton conveyed a deceptive half
truth. He pointed out that the
increase from June 80, 1888. to
Dec. 81. 1889, was just over

Therefore, he would have the
investment capitalized for bond

public. Bond interest and uiti-
mate bond retirement would be
provided out of dam revenue. The
fund raised by the bond issue
would be paid into the treasury.
The bonds would be contingent

could figure in such a program.

a sharp rebuke of the glib gen.

have to act specifically to elimi-

o-Return of approximately $780,
- 100000 to the treasury by
various government corporations
whose capital funds now are in
excess of their needs. The farm
credit administration, reconstruc-
ton finance corporation and home
owners loan corporation would
contribute substantially to this
sum.
PROPOSES CHANGES
The return of capital funds can
be accomplished without additional
legislation. The S700. 900. 600 thus
to be realized will serve in the next
fiscal year to reduce the net deficit
from S2,s76, 900, 900 to s2,176,0 00,-

Roosevelt accompanied the $780,
O00,0 recapture plan with a re-
newal of his suggestion that con-
gress authorize the capitalization
of certain federal capital expendi-
lures that have proven to be self
liquidating. That would transform
them from the category of expen-
ditures to investments, and would
return to the treasury the cash
previously advanced. He estimat-
ed that about 5000, 900, 900 could
be realized in that manner.

 Now tho day nurseries of Amer rica have reached Q third stage in their development, according to Elizabeth Woodruff Clark, Executive Director of the National Association of the Day Nurseries.
 The nurseries are now not only interested in Johnny--but in John- ny's mother and father. They have come to realize that it isn't enough to give a child correct training dur ing the daytime, only to send him back to family environment that may undo all the good they were able to accomplish.
 At this stage of the game, only the best-trained teachers are good enough for day nursery work. For handing Johnny's family Is an even

WHOLESOME BREAD

Before the guardians of the Dionne Quintuplets made decision on what bread these famous chil- dren should eat. they conducted many experiments and entered into considerable research. They wanted to serve the Quintuplets white bread because of It's easy digestibility, but they knew. too. that there was a great deal of difference between breads in point of nourishment value.
 Naturally. they wanted the most nourishing for the quintuplets and eventually they found just the type of bread they wanted bread made with CEROBREX.
 CEROBREx is a concentrate of the embryo-a rich known source Of Vitamin B and the part of the wheat berry which contains the greater part of the mineral and vitamin value of the wheat. This wheat embryo cannot be left in ordinary white flour for it would cause the milled flour to turn rancid. However, scientists have discovered method whereby it can be in- corporated in flour.

 Miracles are worked, though, when the day nursery teacher has tact and understanding. Many Q family has been held together and It's family life bettered by the advice (though never obvious enough to be recognized as such) of Q day nursery teacher.
 Often a day nursery works hand in hand with some other social organization In an effort to help Johnny's parents make his home life better. All the resources of Q com munity may be used to help John- ny's father get a job--so that his mother won't have to go to work, HOMES BECOME

 "T'he great problem facing day nurseries today" says Miss Clark "is to give Q generation of children growing up on, or near, relief, Q sense of security in an insecure world. They must be shown how to adjust themselves to an ever-chang- ing world. We must help them to discover the satisfactions of inde- pendence, initiative and courage"

al defense.
 ONE is the arsenal, completely owned and operated by the Gov ernment such as the Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia, or Rock Island Arsenal, III. For the most part private industry objects to too many of these government arSenals.
 TWO is the factory complete ly owned and operated by pri- vate industry. This was the prac tice employed during the World War.
 THREE is a compromise sys- tenn whereby the Government buys the ground and erects the factory, then lets the private manufacturer step in and op- crate the plant for a manage ment fee.
 Of these three plans, the first, namely government arsenals, is bitterly opposed by business, while the second, that of private factories, is vigorously opposed by the Government. And because private munitions plants were torn down after the World War, the United States finds itself in a serious predicament today.
 For instance, take the question of powder-most essential of all ingredients to a national defense program. At the end of the World War, the United States, by herculean effort and by spending vast sums of money, was pro- ducing 496,OO0,000 pounds of gun powder annually. In addition, new factories were being built which in another three months after the Armistice would have upped our powder production by another 500,O00, ,OO0 to a total of one billion pounds. In compari- son with this billion pounds, how ever, the annual production of powder in the United States to- day in paltry 2o,00o,OOO pounds. Reason for this is that private industry tore down its powder factories after the war.

WICKARD'S HOGS

When Claude Wickard, new Secretary of Agriculture, went back home to Indiana the other day, local newspapers pursued him for details about his private life. In one case he was called to the telephone to answer a ques- ton put by lady reporter.
 "I want to know what you are doing, MT. Wickard,' she said. Wickard explained that he had been working on his farm that morning.
 But what kind of work?" the lady persisted.
 i've been working with the hogs," said the Secretary.
 Feeding them, or something like that?"
 "No," said Wickard. Do you want me to tell you just what I've been doing?"
 ''Yes, please do," was the eager reply.
 We'll" said Wickard, I've been working with breeding stock"

 Wickard repeated the state ment.

war is over. Therefore, the plan proposed by Judge Robert Pat terson, newly appointed Assist ant Secretary of War, is to let the government erect the factor ieS, keep them permanently in case of future emergency, but lease them to private industry.
 This also would solve the tax problem, because industry would have no need to ask for early amortization on its emergency ex penditures.
 The duPontS have been high ly cooperative under this plan, and are going to operate a gover ment built powder plant in south ern Indiana. However, some oth- CT industrial leaders are opposed even to this compromise plan, and there has been some lobby ing around the National Defense Commission to keep government out of the munitions business in any manner, shape or form.
 Although private industry looks askance at the idea of the government building too many munitions plants, this opposition is a mere bag of peanuts con- pared to its vigorous, 100 percent disapproval of the tax reserva- tion placed in the new tax bill by the House of Representatives and the Treasury.
 This reservation would give tax benefit to private manufacturers who had expanded plant facilit- ieS; but in return for those bene- fits the Government would exer- else a certain amount of control over the future disposition of the factory. In other words, if it was built for the emergency and if tax benefits were granted be- cause of that fact, then the Trea- Sury contends that the plant should not be torn down immed- lately after the emergency or con verted to something csc without the approval of the government.
 This, private industry says, threatens to put the government right in the middle of the muni- tions business, and the National Defense Commission, without calling it "sit-down,' has warn ed that such threatened control might prevent capital from flow ing into the national defense pro- gram.

THREAT OF NAZI CONTROL
Apparently industrialists see

Apparently induStrialiSts seem to think that these government owned plants might be held over industry's head in the future, and that once the government has its own factories, Congress might go ahead and operate them in competition with private business. In fact, the definite fear is that the United States might do what has been done in many European countries, such as Ger many, Italy and France, where the munitions industry is virtual ly owned and operated by the Government.
 NOTE To some War Depart ment observers it would even seem that they feared this pos sibility almost more than the possibility of the Nazi control

POWDER SHORTAGE SERIOUS

Powder is the bottleneck of national defense. Without it not a shot can be fired, not even a revolver. And todays powder shortage is most serious. It is to avoid these shortages in the fu- ture, not only in regard to pow der, but also other essentials of modern warfare that the Govern ment is anxious to build some of its own plants, or at least obtain a lien on them in order to pre- vent their destruction after the
