BALANCING OF ' BUDGET URGED BY T. R.'S SON Former Governor-General of Philippines Says Silk Shirt Days Over. By United Pri * PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 28. The United States can not ‘ waste its way back into prosperity,” Colonel Theodore Roosevelt today told the Manufacturers and Bankeis Club. “There is only one way a country can exist permanently with happiness,” the former govemor-gen-jeral of the Philippines said, "and that is by having a balanced budget, a good credit and a sound currency.” Colonel Roosevelt called for a return to the ideas of economy that were summed up in the phrase, "we should not spend more than we receive.” These ideas, he said, were caught to American citizens as children. “What applied in family life applies in national life,” he said. “A nation must not, and in the long run can not, spend more than it collect., from its people. There is one way and one way only in which a budget can be permanently imd properly balanced and that is by this principle. Silk Shirt Days Over “The silk shirt, days are over.” He said that the nation must return to a simpler scale of living, both governmental and private; that it must adjust itself to changed conditions. There is no way, he said, by which a program calling for the balancing of the budget, the reduction of taxes and the maintenance of expense can be followed in the light of present rigorous economic conditions. “There is but one way to balance the budget at this time,” Colonel Roosevelt said, “and that is to cut governmental expenses to the bone and to increase taxes where possible. All other moves are sophistry.” ‘•Debt Never Greater The national administration is separating its expenses into two classifications, Colonel Roosevelt said, those of general or ordinary expenses and emergency or nonrecurring expenses. He attacked this classification as one "used by the European governments when they were tottering on the edge of the aby as and wished to conceal their true condition." He contended that by this method, expenses previously included in the budget “find their way around and appear in the national debt.” He said the national debt of the United States has risen from $16,000,000,000 in 1930, according to his estimates, to at least $28,000,000,000 when the sums now allocated are spent. This figure, he said, is more than a billion dollars greater than at any previous time in American history. Outlines Six Steps Six steps were outlined by Colonel Roosevelt as a sound program for rigid economy in the operation of the federal government. These w r ere: 1. Consolidation of departments and bureaus to avoid duplication. 2. Elimination of unnecessary personnel. 3. A reduced scale of compensation for government employes. 4. Curtailment or abolition of all unnecessary services. 5. Discharge by the government of its basic obligations only to veterans of its wars. 6. The effecting of administrative economies. Colonel Roosevelt then took up the public works program and said the policy of the United States should be "to spend no money thereon unlesskin and of themselves they will become self-sustaining or unless they come under the head of necessities.” U.

My chief does that now.” He was reminded that the last time he was here he predicted the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. “And I was right,” he replied vigorously. “I should have known something about it after being in Washington for forty years.
