Trends Government Keeps Two Sets of Books. BY JOHN T. FLYNN
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Because we are Retting budget conscious and because our politicians are preparing to put the budget on the soapbox and the radio in the next campaign. I have been from time to time attempting to make a simple statement of our Uncle Sam's bookkeeping for the benefit
of the wayfaring citizen. The fiscal year 1935-36 began July 1. Four months of that year have expired. How has the government been making out as a going business concern? It may be recalled that the g o v e r n m ent bookkeeper
John Flynn
keeps two sets of books—one for the government's ordinary expenditures. one for recovery and emergency expenditure. The budget Is, of course, always out of balance. Rut this is blamed on the heavy recovery casts. This, however, is not true. If not one dollar had been spent on emergency and recovery costs this fiscal year so far, the budget would be well out of balance. a o a T ET us see how we have been doing this year compared with last year in the ordinary expenses of the government —with all the extraordinary expenditures left out. Here Is a comparison of our ordinary government costs in each month of this year: U)34 1935-36 July $230 394.991 S3BO 149,350 Any 204 1 16.852 233 275.452 Rep) 232,675,909 336.378.983 October 474.687.598 510.837,952 Total $1,141,875,350 $1,460,641,731 Now -it is plain from this that the ordinary expenses of the government have been larger every month this year thus far than in the same months last year. For the four months they have been over $300,000,000 more than last year. While the ordinary costs of the governments have been $1,460,641,737, the receipts of the government have been §1,233,899,000. Therefore the budget has been out of balance, even without any of our emergency costs, to the tune of around $227,000,000. This is re illy a very serious matter. a a tt THE Treasury may answer that this has been due to the suits attacking the processing tax. This means that there is due the government in these taxes about $120,000,000, payment of which has been held up, and if these taxes were paid the situation would be better. That is true, but the budget would still show a deficit. But on the other hand the Treasury would have to concede that a large volume—several hundred million dollars, in fact—is carried among the emergency expenses which ought properly to be allocated to ordinary expenses and have alw'ays heretofore been so carried. Os course, we have no right to assume that tax collections and expenditures will continue at the same rate in future months. But if they do. the budget most certainly will be out of balance. Now for the emergency budget. That, has been a little less than in the same months last year -$1,166,507.000 last year and $1,106,000 this year. When we add emergency and ordinary budgets together, then we have a total budget deficit this year of $1,333,508,737, compared with $1,040,240,00 last year—a deficit for the four months of about $307,000,000 more than last year.

GOLD FLOW TO ONITEO STATES GETS ATTENTION Weakness in World Money Sends Stock of Metal to New High. BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY l nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—New flurries in the world monetary markets which threaten to send another flood of foreign gold into the United States were watched closely today by Administration officials. Weakness in foreign currency quotations, particularly those of French and Dutch money, not only is driving needed monetary gold from abroad but is swelling American gold stocks and build a possible larger base for domestic credit inflation. Administration fiscal authorities continued to maintain a strict silence today on the monetary and credit situation but their concern over possible uncontrolled credit inflation was found in the fact that the Federal Reserve Board and its advisory council have spent many hours discussing the subject. Excess Hits Record Peak The board reported today that excess reserves of its member banks had increased to another record peak of $3,070,000,000, at which level they furnish the base for a possible credit expansion of $30,700,000,000. A large factor in the swelling excess reserves was found in the unwanted gold flow to this country which carried gold stocks to another ail-time record of $9,804,000,000 early this week. Selling flurries in foreign currencies yesterday threatened to send millions of dollars more gold to the United States and it was possible that the American hoard might reach the $10,000,000,000 mark by the end of the year. This would comprise nearly half the world's stocks of the monetary metal. Continued drainage of world gold to the United States, which can not be checked by this government, has increased the possibility of pushing other gold standard countries off the gold basis and forcing them to devalue their currencies like the United States did nearly two years ago. Want France on Gold Standard Treasury offiicals, however, are believed to be anxious to keep France and other gold-bloc nations on the gold standard because if they devalued they might remove the foreign trade benefits accruing to the United States. In some quarters it was believed today that the United States Treasury was ready again to rescue the French franc should help be needed. It was recalled that last spring ? selling flurry in French money w-hich threatened to send that country off the gold standard was nipped by a helping hand extended by Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. At that time Morgenthau supplied the French with enough dollars in Paris to support the French franc when the French could not ship gold fast enough to the United States to obtain the necessary dollars.
ENGINEERS STUDY HUGE GRAND RIVER PROJECT Oklahoma Proposes $16,000,000 Hydro-Electric Plant. By United Press WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.—Engineers of the public works power board today started final study of Oklahoma’s proposed $16,000,000 Grand River hydro-electric project after receiving recommendations from Phillip S. Donnell, state PWA director. While Mr. Donnell’s decision was not announced, it was learned he made a “yes-or-no” recommendation. It also was revealed that Mr. Donnell's report demanded elimination of the so-called “Kirkpatrick” amendment limiting sale of Grand River power to the project site. After power engineers have made their decision, they will submit the project application to Administrator Harold L. Ickes for final action. Ickes has said that, if the project is approved, he doubted if PWA would have $16,000,000 available for the construction allotment. Engineers expected to take several weeks drafting their report.

EXPECTS COURT TO APPROVENEW RATE 200 Livestock Men Ask for Higher Selling Fees. By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—Court approval of an increased rate schedule set up by 200 livestock commission men at the Chicago Stockyards was indicated yesterday in a “finding of fact” filed by a three-judge Federal court. A preliminary injunction preventing Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, and his officers from interfering with collections under the new schedule was expected Monday. Tire commission men, in defiance of a ruling cutting their rates by one-fifth, instituted the new schedule Nov. 1. The new schedule returned the rates to about the same levels prevailing prior to Feb. 3, 1935, when the United States Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Secretary of Agriculture’s ruling. The commission men in their petition asserted they were forced back to the old rates in “self-preserva-tion” because revenues had fallen to the lowest level since 1882. The slump was due, they said, to reduced livestock receipts and to the reduction in commission rates made last spring. BUSINESS FAILURES DIP Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., Report Total of 210 for Week.

INVITE LABOR, INDUSTRY TO ‘WRITETICKET’ Government to Keep Hands Off at Conference, Berry Says. By United Prfss WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.—Maj. George L. Berry, co-ordinator for Industrial co-operation, today invited Industry and Labor to “write their own ticket” for a “stabilized prosperity.” He promised a “strictly hands off” policy by government officials in the conference of industrial and labor leaders here Dec. 9. No legislative proposals will be offered by government officials, he said. “This is industry’s party,” Berry said. “This is a stirring call for industrial statesmanship, a cooperative brand that has heretofore been lacking too often.” Hits at Critics Critics, he added, who have described the meeting as a revival for the defunct NRA or a scheme to deliver industry bodily to the American Federation of Labor, are “dealing in silly stuff ... in a childish fashion,” “I have no brief to present for the National Recovery Administration or the National Industrial Recovery Act,” Berry said. “I have no personal formula for immediate solution of these vital questions which can not long be evaded, and for which acceptable answers must be found.” While declining to advocate anew NRA, he said “the fact seems to me to be inescapable that it definitely stopped a further and more violent disintegration of industry.” Congress to Get Legislation He said years of intimate contact with business and labor groups led him to “question whether voluntary trade associations and voluntary codes will be strong enough to drive out cut-throat competition and banish the sweatshop operator.” Although Berry does not intend to propose any remedy for unemployment and other industrial ills, he said that if legislation should be agreed upon by a majority of the forthcoming conference, “it naturally will be proposed to Congress.”
INDUSTRIALISTS RAP NEW DEAL Founders’ Association Meets in Private Convention for Discussion. By United Press NEW YORK. Nov. 22.—Almost 200 industrialists, members of the National Founders Association, revealed in mimeographed reports of a private convention today that they had weighed the New Deal and found it deficient. The association met all day yesterday in a hotel room posted “private” and guarded by a secretary, and reconvened today with the same guaranties of exclusiveness. Speakers were Thomas W. Pangborn, association president; J. H, Van Deventer, editor of the Iron Age; T. M. Girdler, chairman and president of Republic Steel Corp., and Dr. Walter E. Spahr of New York University. They used different adjectives about the New Deal, but they all voted to convict. Says Industry Disheartened Pangborn, as keynoter, called attention to the approaching national election and said that, “while you and I can probably weather the storm,” it would be “unfair” to their employes not to “resist the tide.” He said industry has cooperated with government in many ways since President Roosevelt took office, but is “disillusioned and disheartened by the costly experiments of the last two years.” Dr. Spahr, head of the New York University Department of Economics, predicted a “storm” when Congress reconvenes in January. “We have in power a revolutionary political power rather than a National Administration,” he said, and added that Rexford G. Tugwell, Under Secretary of Agriculture, is fomenting a “class revolution.” Girdler complained that his industry is unjustly accused of artificial price maintenance. Weighted earnings on capitalization from 1928 through three quarters of 1935 were only 1.6 per cent, he said.

BOARD FILES 35 COMPLAINTS IN FIRST 6 WEEKS Cases Urder Wagner Labor Act Include Steel, Auto Industries. BY HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. Nov. 22—The filing of 35 formal complaints under the Wagner Labor Act, and successful conclusions of one by compliance, was announced today by the National Labor Relations Board at the clase of its first six weeks of activity. In addition to previously announced cases in steel, automobile, transportation, textile and other manufacturing industries. the board's roundup list today disclosed that two cases have been started involving oil companies at Tulsa and Bartlesville. The Giant United Fruit Cos. settled its case, growing out of a dispute bei tween a longshoremen's union and a company union in New York City, j bv formally subscribing to the prmj ciples of the Wagner Act in placards j posted for its employes to see. Erect Placards The placards, in English and Italian, anounced to the workers that "whenever representatives shall be chosen by its employes as provided in Sec. 9A (the election section) of the act, the company will negotiate with them.” The company announced that it “leaves to its employes the question of the manner in which they shall take advantage of the rights granted them by the Wagner Act, and will respect their freely expressed decision.” Meanwhile, the board itself is completing a hearing at Cincinnati of the third of its major cases, involving the Wheeling Steel Corp. plant at Portsmouth, O. In the Greyhound Bus case, the first brought by the board, the board's opinion is expected soon after Dec. 1. It also has under advisement an automobile case which it heard in Detroit. Case Starts in Kansas City Under ordinary court procedure a Supreme Court test from one of the pending cases may not be reached until next fall's term, thus giving the board nearly a full year to induce acceptance of the law such as United Fruit has now pledged. But today in Kansas City the board's lawyers will clash before Federal Judge Merrill Otis in an unexpected legal action in which a milling company is seeking a Federal injunction to block Wagner Act procedure. Lawyers believe the milling company suit will be thrown out on jurisdictional grounds, and a Supreme Court appeal of this angle of the case would tie the board’s hands only with regard to the one company. Six of the cases are from New York, four from Ohio, three from California, two each from Missouri, Georgia, Michigan, Connecticut and Oklahoma. One each has been started in Illinois, Texas, Tennessee, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia. Washington, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Indiana and West Virginia,
