HERES WHY A NATION
NEEDS ITS CREDIT

For seven and a half years a small Dut
continually growing group OF experts ana
observers has been urging normalcH III
national spending, warning OF the danger
in a growing deficit and citing the peril
of reckless federal spending.
Now the nation knows why.
With our credit already strained to the
bursting point by wanton spending, with
our national debt limit only tiny bit
above the actual national debt, we are
today faced with the necessity Of spend
ing millions of dollars over and above
our normal expenditures so that we can
be sure of our national defense.
More than ever before in our history,
we need the national credit we have
wasted in the last seven and half years.
Because we have wasted tor per
mitted our national administration to
waste tive must now do one Of two
things |. Boost the legal debt limit to
precarious height, or, =. Levy such taxes
as Americans have never before been
forced to pay
Had the nation listened to the numer-
Gus warnings that have been sounded
since the New Deal began its spending
spree. we would now be in an ideal posi-
ton to finance the national defense meas
ures we need so badly. Or, had the New
Deal spent wisely instead of foolishly,
we would already have obtained a great

ued to spend money as if they: them
selves, had access Ia that "boundleSS

The day of reckoning has arrived
We will not pay the reckoning this
year-because it is a nation election
year. Next year. however, you may ex-

your income, on your so-called luXurleS,
possibly on your necessities. Next year

it means to flout the laws of national

A nation is no different from bust

a perlouS line of thought has begun
to appear IN this country. rising fast OF
the heels of the grim news from France.
Britain. and the Low Countries. The
apparent invincibility of the Dictator
led Germans, the apparent inability OF
the democracieS to cope with the total
tartan might, have combined to build in
some minds here diStruSt Of our own
democratic processes. Already hints have
appeared in print that the European en-
Urgency indicates that We should sink
the partisan contest of a Presidential
election even that the scheduled 1910
election should be postponed until :;
quieter day
Such thinking is not thinking at all
1t is panic 1t is the poisonous fear that
turns minor reverse into major rout
and the United States has not suffer
ed the slightest reverse. does not face
the prospect of any reverse. Now, OF all
times, is not the moment for considering
the abandonment of democracy 1t is
the moment for proof that democracy
true democracy. can be made to operate
under stress in the hands of people who
have made it succeed for more than l50
years.
This year 1910. we firmly believe. Is
one in which the free press of America
can Justify its existence and its priv
legeS as never before in our history. The
press cannot expect to pierce the censor
ship that clouds war-torn Europe for
more than quick daily glimpse of the
horror: even with that limitation. ii is
likely that the American public knows
more of what goes on in Europe than
most Europeans. The press can tell the
domestic. story without censorship 1t
can tell our people our own story fully
and fairly. 1t can guide the Judgment
of the people so that for the next four
years this country will have at its head
the men best able to lead lis through an
era that may be the most trying this
Republic has ever experienced.
That does not call for abandonment
of our party system. Rather does it de-
mand parties led by true patriots, guild
ed not by the desire for the tinSel glory
of office but by the wish to make their
land a place for happy and decent IiV-
ing, a land safe from invasion 10y ag

fluence may be of weight when the rest
of the world sees the futlity of slaughter
and destruction.
We cast no reflection whatever Oh
Roosevelt when we say that his re-eIec-
ton by default in 1910 would be 4 ter
rible blow to democratic institutions. We
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt would sincere
ly second that opinion. We share none
of the traditional prejudice against a
third term for any President, for we be
lieve that it rests largely ON partisan
argument and distorted tradition If Mr..
Roosevelt is renominated. We urge that
the third term be dropped from the arma-
ment of his opponents; that their cam
paign be led by the ablest Standard bear
er in their ranks, regardless of his poll
teal availability" and that the issues be
stated not in empty phrases but in Ian
guage that will truly reflect the prob
lens that this country faces.
