Trends 1936 Presidential Campaign Has Begun. BY JOHN T. FLYNN
N r EW YORK. Nov. 20. Two events last week remind us that the prr idential campaign of 1936 has begun. One was the election of four delegates at large from Alabama to the Democratic National Convention next June. The other was Mr. Hoover s speech to the Ohio Society of New York, which may be
taken as the opening gun of thp campaign. From now on we may look for a perennial phenomenon. Politicians will now attack our serious economic problems to clear them up—and will envelope them in a luminous fog. With the po-

litical conclusions and implications of Mr. Hoover's speech we are not concerned, but merely with the essential facts. .These ought to be kept, straight. Not long ago Mr. Roosevelt explained this year's budget to show how rosy things were. He looked at. it with the political leaders buoyant gaiety and optimism. Now Mr. Hoover attacks Mr. Roosevelt's "unbalanced budget.” a a a MR. HOOVFR says that, as he has increased in years and opopportunity to study the affairs of governments, he has made a few simple observations. One of them is that a government should have ihe same financial standards as an honorable man. From this he concludes that money must be earned before it, is spent. He then points out how the Administration has steadfastly pursued its policy of spending without ever a thought to even the ghost of the balanced budget. T think it Is a fair assumption from this that Mr. Hoover seeks to ronvey the impression that in unbalancing the budget the Administration has committeed a fiscal crime and that this is a form of wickedness which he would not be guilty of if he were in power and which he would promptly bring to an end. a a a BUT Mr. Hoover was president for four years. In that time he made up four budgets. And only one of the four was in balance. Here is his record: His first budget showed a surplus of $957,991,363. Thereafter every budget was not only unbalanced but shows an enormous deficit. Here they arc: 1930-31 deficit, $992,716,845. 1931-32 deficit, $2,985,312,299. 1932-33 deficit. $1,791,328,705. It was these unbalanced budgets which caused Mr. Roosevelt as a candidate to denounce Mr. Hoover's extravagance as Mr. Hoover condemns Mr. Roosevelt's spending. aan DESPITE his philosophy Os economy, Mr. Cooliage had been one of our greatest spenders. Under him the cost of the various departments of the government—-peace-time expenditures had grown more than 100 per cent. This is a little known fact. When Mr. Hoover came in his expenditures showed a steady ri5e—53,994,000,000 ill 1930: $4,219,999,999 in 1931; $5.006,000.000 in 1932 and then back to $4,029,000,000 in 1933. This does not imply criticism of Mr. Hoover or of Mr. Coolidge. The expenditures may have been perfectly defensible. But is makes us a little wary of Mr. Hoover’s criticism of his foes, just as we may be a little suspicious of the Simon-pure soundness of the foe's criticism of him, (Copyright, 19.15, NEA Service.

COMMISSION TO HAVE FEDERAL AID WITH CODE Treasury Starts Efforts to Enforce Guffey Soft Coal Act. BY FRED BAILEY I nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.—Full strength of the Federal government was thrown today behind efforts of the Bituminous Coal Commission to force compliance with the Guffey Soft Coal Code. The Treasury Department began preparations to carry oat the commissions order that only coal mined under the code can be used in government projects. The order was interpreted as meaning that only coal produced under the code can be used in the operation of machines manufacturing materials to be used in the performance of government contracts. Includes Steel and Textiles This would include steel, textiles and other materials used on public works projects as well as on railroads and ships carrying mail or passengers at the government's expense. The order specifically included mail contracts. Coal operators’ representatives here were “astounded and bewildered" by the action. They indicated operators probably would take no action until the order has been given careful study. They regarded it as “tremendously significant.” The National Coal Association asked its attorneys to study the order. John Battle, president, said he was “too bewildered” to comment. He said railroads probably will take the initiative if the action is to be questioned. Railroads Largest Users The railroads are the largest users of soft coal, taking approximately 25 per cent of production. The order virtually would force every road to purchase only coal mined by operators complying with the code. The railroads also have referred the commission's ruling to their attorneys for study. J. J. Pelley, president of the American Railway Association, conferred with the commission just before the order was issued. He was reported “disturbed.” Section 14 of the Guffey Act as interpreted by the Commission, requires that “every contract —for any public work or service—entered into by or on behalf of the government” must specify that all supplies of coal used in performance of the contract should come from mines operated by producers complying with the law. Went Into Effect Nov. 1 The commission believed its order would hasten the signing of the code by additional operators. Producers of 231.000,000 tons annually—about two-thirds of the total production—have accepted the code. A 15 per cent penalty at the mine price of coal on companies failing to comply went into effect Nov. 1. Two companies have filed suits testing constitutionality of the Act. A three-weeks’ hearing on a suit by the Carter Coal Cos. is nearing completion in District of Columbia Supreme Court. The Alabama Fuel and Iron Cos. filed suit yesterday against enforcement of the act in United States Circuit Court in Birmingham. Ala.

NEW INVENTION TURNS SKIMMED MILKJThWOOL’ Italians Perfect Chemical Process for Synthetic Casein Product. By Srripps-Hoteard Xetcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.—Italian industrialists are making “synthetic wool” from skimmed milk, according to a report to the Commerce Department's chemical division from Rome. Casein, which is extracted from skimmed milk, is subjected to a bath of chemicals in which it is soluble. The resulting viscous solution is forced through small holes which form the “woolen” threads, as in the production of rayon or synthetic silk. Except for the chemical treatment, for which special apparatus is required, the wool is produced with the same equipment used in the production of rayon. It is asserted by the inventor that, owing to a smaller percentage of sulphur, the synthetic product possesses greater heat - conserving qualities than natural wool. For the same reason the new fiber is said to take dye more evenly. The daily output is expected to exceed 2000 pounds by Dec. 1, and 50,000 pounds by next June.
JOBS AT PEAK FOR RECOVERY MOVEMENT Employment Shows Increase of 361,000 for September. Times Special NEW YORK. Nov. 20.—The number of persons employed in the United States in September rose to anew high for the recovery movement, according to the Alexander Hamilton Institute. There were 38.101,000 persons employed in September, compared with 37.740,000 in August, an increase of 361,000. The number of persons unemployed declined from 13,858.000 in August to 12.521.000 in September. Unemployment, however, did not drop to anew low for the recovery movement, despite the peak reached by employment. This was due to the increase in the supply of workers as the result of the gain in population. Compared with the loAt reached in May, 1934, when 13,398,000 persons were unemployed, unemployment in September, 1935, was higher by 123,000 persons. Preliminary figures indicate, however, that unemployment was further reduced in October, and it is possible that unemployment last month may have made anew low for the recovery movement. Since the low for the depression in March, 1933, the number of persons employed has shown an increase of 5,039,000.
ADVOCATES GREATER PURCHASING POWER Secretary Perkins Gives Plan at Convention. B<j United Press WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.—Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins today advocated expansion of the purchasing power of the farmer and lowwage earner as a means of balancing “the mass production of the present machine civilization.” She told the Land Grant College convention that farm income during the first eight months of 1935 rose $266,009,000 over the same period a year ago. The increase, she said, has been a “substantial factor in speeding up production in industrial centers with a consequent rise in factory employment and pay rolls.” “Our industrial organization can be made to function properly by continuing to build up the purchasing power of our farmers and wage earners.” She said the employer, employe and investor would benefit by the increase.

STEEL OUTPUT PACE INCREASES IN GARYPLANTS Adding of Furnaces Brings District Estimate to 60 Percent of Capacity. Time* Syceia l GARY'. Nov. 20.—Adding four epen-hearth furnaces this week o the production units at the Gary Works of the Carnegie-Ulinois Steel Corp. will place the Calumet steel district at an estimated output of 60 per cent of capacity. Last week the output average was placed at 57.5 of capacity compared to the national average of 53.7. The national average of 53.7 shows an increase of 1.1 from the previous week, estimated by the American Iron and Steel Institute. This rate is anew high for the year and is the best rate since June 18. 1934. Last year for ihe same period the rate was 27.6 per cent of capacity. Totals Thirty Furnaces The additions to the Gary Works brings the total number of active furnaces to 30 compared to 26 a veck ago and 24 in the preceding week. At the South Chicago Works of Carnegie-Illinois two furnaces were added, bringing the total active units to 20. The Indiana Harbor plant of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Cos. ; added one open hearth and its Bessemer to the active list. New rail orders, the busy automobile industry and larger demands from the farm implement industry are the main contributing factors for the gains in steel output. Structural releases have also shown sharp increases. Total sales and specifications show the tonnage involved to be the largest in five weeks.
INSTALLMENT CREDIT CONSIDERED SOUND Amortization Prevents Losses in Loans. Report Says. BOSTON, Nov. 20.—The danger line in a credit expansion is not determined bv the percentage c< gold reserves to credit volume, but is dependent upon the character and type of credit, says the United Business Service in its current report. The healthy type of credit is that which is constantly in process of liquidation. Installment credit, therefore, is considered particularly sound, because from the very beginning it is being progressively liquidated. Dangerous credit expansion—inflation—comes when debts are increased faster than paying power. To the extent that a general expansion of credit is governed by the amortization principle, it can not proceed to dangerous and inflationary proportions. In this connection, the report points out that the mortgages and other loans extended through the Federal Housing Administration require regular annual payments on the principal. Without this provision, the losses would undoubtedly be very heavy; with it, most of these loans will probably prove sound.
