the defense program that would have
sounded fantastic few years ago.
Said he, ION the basis of these esti-
mates it is obvious that in view of
the requirements of the defense pro-
gram, the present combined debt
limitation of $4,000 million dollars
will, sooner or later, need to be in
creased. Whether an increase will
be required before the end of the
present fiscal year must depend in the
first instance upon the speed at which
the defense program progresses"
1t would not surprise me in the least
if the Administration were to ask our
committee to raise statutory limit OF
the national debt from 40 billion to
60 billion.
The generations that are to follow
us no doubt will wonder what kind
of damphools we were, and well they
may because we have sold them into
a bondage of debt that will force
them to live on much lower scale
than we have enjoyed. The world
is crazy and we must join the pro-
cession. Those who dare to question
the wisdom or the necessity of what is
being done are called Nazis and Fifth
ColumnistS. It is 1917 all over again.
A Disgraceful Scene.
1t is not so many years ago that
the United States Senate was termed
"the greatest representative body in
the world" Unfortunately, it can no
longer be so termed. The day fol-
lowing Colonel Lindbergh's speech a
southern senator took the floor to
denounce him in language that was
as scandalous as it was unjustified.
When the southerner had exhausted
his vocabulary, as well as his strength,
he turned the floor over to two BAN
tam colleagues who snapped and
snarled at each other like couple
of alley tom-cats, much to the disgust
of the crowded galleries who in turns
cheered, jeered and sneered. This
is the day of the demagogue. He who
can call the most names and sling
the most mud has the inside track.
The only difference between the
present set-up and the Paris Com
mune is that in those days they be-
headed people of intelligence and
property, while now they smear
them. 1t is to be hoped that the
present situation is but a manifesto
ton of imbecility and rowdiness that
is temporary in its nature. Inflamed
minds are incapable of clear thinking
and safe acting.
Jim Farley Resigns.
Immediately following the Demo-
cratic national convention, James A.
Farley retired as chairman of the ma
tional committee. This action was
followed three weeks later by his
resignation as Postmaster General,
effective August 81. 1t is generally
known in Washington that the rela-
Administration have been none too
cordial for year or more. He did
not take kindly to the appointment
of so many erstwhile Republicans to
positions of responsibility. Then, too,
he was bitterly opposed to a third
term and made no secret of it. Like
Garner he is a Jeffersonian Demo-
crat who has little or no use for the
starry eyed dreamers who are now in
the drivers seat Mr.. Roosevelt is
going to miss Farley long before
November.

 Nutritious canned salmon is well adapted for frequent use in mod ern streamlined casserole dishes. For the rich deep sea flavor of this seafood blends temptingly with other food flavors-a quality indis- pensable to the successful casser- ole ingredient and its delicate flakes, ready cooked as they come from the can, are an important time saving element in casserole cookery.

Low-Cost Mark CIoimed
In Baltimore Project

A new low record Of 1919 per
unit for low-rent housing construc-
tion In large cities is claimed by
the United States Housing Author
ity for the Armistead Gardens prof.
ect in Baltimore.
This average cost for the TOO units
takes into consideration the costs
Of land, all .non-dwelling facilities
and overhead. Mere construction
would set the cost at $2,077 per unit.
Administrator Nathan Straus said
the Baltimore costs are the lowest
reached thus far in the entire U. s.
H. A. program except for q few
projects in the deep South where no
heating facilities are required.
1t was also claimed the net cost
Of $2,077 is almost 40 per cent under

ing as shown by the United States
Bureau Of Labor Statistics.
