Text of Roosevelt Budget Statement

By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.— Following is the complete statement by President Roosevelt on the summation of the 1937 budget: | Continuing the practice inaugurated last vear, the attached summation revises the Pudget for the fiscal year 1937 by reflecting the { changes affecting the estimates of revenues and expenditures which have occurred since the 1937 budget was transmitted tol Congress: in January 1936. Two outstanding events ‘have taken place since that time which have materially affected the receipts and expenditures of the { government. The first of these was the decision of the Supreme Court, declaring the Agricultural Adjust- | ment Act unconstitutional, as a result of which the| government lost | substantial revenue from processing taxes. The second was the passage by

{ the ‘Congress of the Adjusted Com-

pensation Payment Act providing for the immediate payment at their face value of the veterans’ adjusted service certificates,

1945. . As a result of the Supreme Court

| decision the estimated revenue from | processing taxes for the fiscal year |

1936 was reduced by $452,000,000. Up to the time: of that decision the Agricultural Adjustment Administration had expended ‘in accordance with law the sum of $325,000,000 and had made substantial commitments for additional expenditures in anticipation of .revenue from source.

Nation May Commit Suicide in Effort to Save, Coyle Warns

Destruction lor Plenty.

BY RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer - GT 2—This| country Ys in danger of dying of economy, David Cushman Coyle, consulting engineer and author of the best-seller “Brass Tacks,” says in a new book just published.

WASHINGTGON, Sept.

The theme of the volume—'"Waste” (Bobbs-Merrill)—is the immeas-

urable cost to the United States, in of saving money.

“We have about 20 years in which

| will be decided,” says Coyle. “The

| foad forks here—the steep and nar- |

row path into the land of plenty, and the broad and easy highway | down which so many splendid em- | pires of the past®have marched with { flying banners to “destruction. . . . { “This book is concerned with the | choice between the conservation

We win or lose { the highest stakes that any nation ever played for in the next 20 years.” : Mr. Coyle places the problem of human erosion as first and most serious, and attempts to measure the cost to the nation of neglecting public health and public morale as

other waste of physical resources. “We destroy our country because { we believe we can not afford the money to save it,” he says.

. Invested Money Not Wasted

| “In every state legislature, in ‘he {halls of Congress, in the oratory of { political campaigns, we tell ourselves {that we must not spend money. | When a blight falls on trees or |cattle, when a disease attacks -our | people, we say we must not waste | money. So we cautiously spend 10

{, But where is the money to come from? Coyle asks, and answers that industry gets back:the 30 million dollars it spends each year on research out of the profits of research, and gets back the money it spends lon safety work out of not having | to pay for loss and disaster. | “Money spent to create wealth is { not thrown into the sea,” he argues. “It is planted in fertile Soil where it will bring forth fruit.” And he adds: “Money is not a thing like soil and trees and cattle. Money is the bookkeeping with which weé do our business. It is always true that you can ‘save | money by not deing any business, { but that is sacrificing the substance for the shadow. That is what we

| By the enactment of the Soil | Conservation and Domestic Allot- | ment Act, which included authority | for an annual appropriation of not to exceed $500,000,000, Congress provided a new farm program to preserve to the farmers the benefits of fair and adequate prices for the product of their labors.

The passage of the Adjusted Compensation Payment Act caused | an increase in payments to veter- | ans for the past year of $1,674,000,000 and will result in further pay- | ments estimated at $560,000,000 on | this i fiscal year. To meet the additional require- ! ments of the Treasury on account of these expenditures the Congress | was requested to provide sufficient | additional revenue: (1) to make good. the loss of processing taxes in | the fiscal year 1936; (2) to defray | the annual cost of operation of the { new farm program; (1) to amortize over a period of nine years the cost of payment of the adjusted service certificates. The Revenue Act of 1936, enact- | ed by the Congress in response to | this request, will produce, on the | basis of estimated business condi-

tions for the calendar year 1936, annual revenue in the amount of $652,000,000. For the fiscal year 1936 the amount of this revenue will: be only $328,000,000, since only the first and second of the quarterly paymeénts of income taxes under this act will be made to the Treasury within that year. same year, however, there will be a nonrecurring revenue of $82,000,000 from the so-called windfall taxes. : -

REVIEW OF 1936

The total receipts amounted to $4,115,956,615 against the estimate in the 1937 budget of $4,410,793,946, a net decrease of $294,837,331. After taking into consideration the loss in processing taxes of $451,000,000, receipts from other sources amounted to $157,000,000 more than was estimated. - Total receipts showed a net increase of $316,000,000 over those for 1935, .and receipts from sources other than processing taxes showed an increase over 1935 of $760,000,000. The total expenditures of the government for the fiscal year endsed June 30, 1936, amounted to $8,879,798,258. The estimated expenditure shown in the budget of last January of $7,645,301,338 did not; of course, include $1,674,000,000 for, adjusted compensation payments. Except for these payments the expenditures would have been about $439,000,000 less than the January estimate. The deficit for the year amounted to $4,763,841,642, which included $403,240,150 for statutory debt retirement. Deducting this amount leaves a net deficit of $4,360,601,491. The estimated net deficitr as shown in (the budget of last January was

WISCONSIN NEWS STRIKE IS ENDED

Reporters Return to Work at Higher Pay.

By United Press MILWAUKEE, Sept. 2—American Newspaper Guild members who have been on strike for seven months at the -Hearst-owned Wisconsin News

returned to their jobs today under a settlement giving them shorter working hours and higher pay, but not_Guild recognition and a written contract which they demanded. The settlement was reached between John Black, manager of the Wisconsin' News, and a committee representing the Milwaukee Federated Trades Council. - A statement of policy issued by the management March 31 was the basis for the settlement. It provides for a five-day week, an $8 daily wage minimum for those with three years newspaper experience, $25 weekly for employes with less experience, paid vacations and dismissal bonuses. The management did not recognize the Guild nor sign a written contract with it as demanded by the strikers when they walked out Feb. 17, Mr. Black said. : The management, the negotiating committee and the Guild is-

$2,682,482,392. Had it not been for the invalidation of firocessing taxes and the passage of ‘the Adjusted Compensation Payment Act, the net deficit would have been less than the January estimate by more than $400,000,000. The public debt increased during the year $5,077,650,869, but in that time the balance of cash in the general fund of the Treasury likewise showed an increase of $840,164,664. :

FORECAST FOR 1937

Total receipts in the fiscal year 1937 are now estimated at $5,665,839,000, a net increase of $12,000,000 over the amount of the 1937 budget The estimated increases in general revenue more than offset the revenue losses, due in part to the invalidation of the special taxes levied under the provision of the Agricultural Adjustment and Bituminous Coal Conservation Acts, and in part to the method finally adopted for collecting taxes under the Social Security Act which will defer to the fiscal year 1938 the collection of a portion of these taxes. The losses from these causes amount to $668,000,000, which are slightly more than offset by the following estimated increases in revenue: $410,000,000 (including $82,000,000 from the windfall taxes) resulting | from -the revenue act of 1936; $33,000,000 from delayed collections .of taxes on carriers and their * employes, and $237,000,000 constituting an upward revision of revenue estimates due chiefly to improvement in business conditions.

The expenditure requirements for the fiscal year 1937 are now estimated at $7,762,835,300, which includes $560,000,000 to complete the payments of adjusted compensation to veterans and $580,000,000 for statutory debt retirement. Some of the principal items included in the expenditure requirements are as follows: The Agricultural Adjustment Administration will require $585,000,000 and the Civilian Conservation Corps $300,000,000. The requirements of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration will be greater for 1937 than for 1936 due to the interruption of that program in the past year by the Supreme Court decision and the consequent postponement of expenditures. The expenditures for the Civilian Conservation Corps for 1937 will be less than those for 1936 due to the reduction made in the number of enrollees as compared with the number for 1936. :

In view of the general improvement in business conditions, it is estimated that there will be required a net amount of $1,835,000,000 for recovery and relief, an amount materially less than that for the fiscal year 1936. - The estimated expenditures for the other establishments are $448,986,000 greater than the expenditures for 1936, due principally to

nual public works program and to increased expenditures for national defense, The estimated deficit for 1937 is $2,096,996,300, which includes $580,000,000 for. statutory debt retirement and $560,000,000 for further payments under the Adjusted Compensation Payment Act. Deducting the amount of the statutory debt retirement leaves a net deficit of $1,516,996,300. This does not mean that there will be an increase in the public debt of this amount for the reason that it is contemplated during the year to reduce the working balance of the general fund by approximately $1,100,000,000.

CITES EARLIER MESSAGE

In my message to €ongress on March 18, 1936, requesting - propriation of $1,500,000,000 for relief of unemployment, I stated that that request, together with those previously submitted to the Congress to provide for the Civilian Conservation Corps and certain public works would, ifs acted upon favorably by the Congress, give security during the next fiscal year to those most in need, on condition, however, that private employers hire many of those now on relief rolls. I further stated that should industry co-operatively achieve the goal of re-employment, the appropriation of $1,500,000,000, together with the unexpended balances of previous appropriations, would suffice to carry the Federal works pro-

It |

gram through the fiscal year 1937, and that only if industry failed to reduce substantially the number of those now out of work would ane

other” appropriation and further plans and policies be necessary. The unemployed are continuing to be absorbed in industry, and I believe that there will be a further substantial increase of such employment during the coming months. Whether it will be sufficient to permit such a reduction in work relief rolls as will bring them within the amount appropriated by Congress is a matter that can not be determined for several months. > In estimating, moreover, the amount that would be necessary to care for a reduced number of unemsployed during the current fiscal year, no account could bs taken of the serious drought which has affected large sections of our country. To relieve this serious situation in the drought areas will require the expenditure of substantial amounts from the emergency relief approprie ation, although the total amount that will be needed for this purpose can not be determined at this time, Another survey of the unemployment problem and the amount ree quired for drought relief will be made early in the coming calendar year, and if additional appropriations for these purposes are found necessary, the amounts expended therefrom will, of course, increase the estimated expenditures shown in this summation. It is confidently expected that any such requests .for additional funds will amount to less than $500,000,000.
