Treasury Urges
Debt Limit Top
Of IS Billions
BY DAMON RUNYON JR.
Int'i News Service stan Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan, 29.-Sec-
rotary of the Treasury Morgen-
THAI today told the House ways
and means committee that during
the next two fiscal years starting
July l. the governments spend
ing will exceed its income by S15,-
600, 900, 900 and he asked that the
national debt limit be increased to
SOS. 900, 100000 to finance the
deficit.
Morgenthau made the request
'as he called on the legislators to
give the treasury power to finance
defense spending with funds bor-
rowed from the real savings" of
the people. At the same time he
demanded that Congress re-exam-
inc non-defense spending with a
'magnifying glass" and cut do
mestic expenditures to the bone.
The administrations bill boost
ing the debt limit fro mits S49,-
90, 100000 limit to the proposed
new sos, 900, 10000 top would also
permit issuance of federally tax
able long term securities, and
would authorize fiotation of small
bonds and savings certificates that
would enlist the dollars. and even
the quarters of the little man in
the defense program.
? In such times as these" said
Morgenthau, "it II imperative
that the government borrow as
much as possible from real
savers rather than from banks.
II do not believe that u would
be advisable TO undertake to
finance this enlarged program
through the issuance of short
term securities and their retire.

Moreover, short term securities
would for the most part be pur-
chased by commercial banks.
thereby causing a further In
crease of deposits.
at Is highly desirable to avoid
further increases Of deposits as
far as possible, and to some ex-
tent this can be accomplished
by issuing obligations attractive
TO permanent investors outside
of the banking system"
Remaining borrowing authority
under current law. the treasury
secretary explained, is Sufficient
only for the next four months"
and speed is vital in the new
legislation unless the government
is soon to be greatly restricted

Representatives of the operators

proposition and will meet again to-
a decision by 6 pm. tomorrow and
the possibility of 100000 soft coal
miners entering into their second
strike this year is in the back

OF all these major labor crises,
however, the North American sltua-
ton is commanding greatest atten-
ton today in view of unequlvocal
White House warnings that the Gov
eminent is prepared to step in.
For several hours yesterday. Of
ficials of the War and Justice De-
partments discussed potential steps
for carrying out such decision.
Army Read To Act
Regarding the legal grounds.
White House Secretary Stephen T.
Early tolod reporters that the Presi-
dents action was predicated on his
authority as commander in chief OF
the Nations armed forces in time
of unlimited national emergency.
Evidently because the burden OF
blame in this instance is not being
placed on the plant management,
the consumption of industry pro-
visions in the Selective Service Act
is not being relied on.
For it's part, the War Depart
nnent would make only the cryptic
promise that it is prepared to take
over and operate the plant if the
President directs.
Men who want to return to work
will be able to do so without inter-
ference. Our hope Is that the men
who work in the plant normally
will continue to work there. The
Army will see they are not inter-
fered with"
Army spokesman did not specify
how they might obtain workers if
the majority of the plants 1850
employees refuse to return to their
Jobs, but 1t was obvious that they
are counting heavily on the inf1u-
ence of the Presidents contem-
plated action to discourage further
striking.
Executives Would Continue.
However, it was suggested unofi-
eially that the Government would
have several lines of action at its
sonmand-though some might re-
ouire legislation. Draft deferments
for the men could be cancelled. All
Federal benefit payments-unem-
ployment insurance and other So
eial security bounties, and relief
through w. P. A.-might be refused.
The men might be blacklisted and
denied future jobs in plants hand
ling Government contracts. And,

present force of neighborhood opin-
ion.

ciated Press reported the follow

The status of labor relations in
the great River Rouge plant of

dispute. Ray Bausch, plant super
intendent. said there had been a

B. Taylor, assistant director of the
Ford Organizing Committee of the
U. A. VIC. l. O., insisted that "the
union has received no word of a

don't want any incident to inter-
fere with negotiations for a con-
tract.
End to Bitterness Urged.
A. W. Hawkes., president of the

Backed by Murray.

Just and decisive.

Raps Management Tactics.
THE immediate cause of the
strike was the inexperienced. ir-
responsible and impulsive action of
local leaders. But the fact remains
that a basic cause Of the situation
has been the inexperience and ir-
responsibility of the North Ameri-
can management which exhausted
the patience of their workers
through seven weeks of negotia-
tionS.
Those who simplify the issue Of
the extent of saying that it is I'M
American to ask for rs cents an
hour when other young men are
serving their country for s2l per
month are arguing with hollow logic.
And they have little concern for
those men who have been drafted
into our armed forces and who de-
pend upon the continuance OF
democratic methods at home, where
by wages and living standards may
be maintained"
The strikers demand a 25-cent in
crease in minimum pay. now
so cents an hour, and a blanket in
crease of 10 cents an hour for all
workers.
without Authorization.
ITO all North American workers,
I want to state this:
You. are on strike without the
authorization of your international
union or the c. I. o. You
have allowed yourselves to be
jockeyed and stampeded into the
position of striking against the
C. I. O., and against governmental
agency which has given the c. I. o.,
every cooperation and considera-
ton.
You have allowed yourselves to
be put in the position of complicat-

dures through which you had every
chance of obtaining your fair wage

1--WE understand" said the spokes-
man, that the President believes
he had German propaganda orders

ing that Britain was seeking
peace, said he had on his desk
two orders issued by the Ger
man official propaganda agency
in Berlin. one directing Nazis and
Fascists in the United States to
stress the idea that Germany
had no hostile intention toward
any country in the western
hemisphere. and the second Or
dering them to circulate the
story that Ambassador Winant,
home from London, was bring
ing word that Britain was all
in and was talking peaceD
The spokesman gave numerous
quotations which he attributed to
American and British leaders to
the effect that Britain would COL
lapse if American aid were not
granted Immediately.
He cited President Roosevelt him
self, Wendell Willkie, Maj. Gen. H.
H. Arnold of the United States
Army Air Corps, who recently was
In England; the late Lord Lothian,
who was Ambassador to Washing
