of the fiscal year for which this budget was drawn will aggregate only $44,938,000,000—just under the limit—provided: 1. That Congress avoids extra budgetary appropriations. 2. That Congress levies the $460,200 Joo emergency national defense

ar That the business upturn continues so that deficiency relief appropriations may be avoided. 4. That farm prices improve somewhat so that parity price subsidy payments may be avoided in the next fiscal year.

How Limit Will Be Avoided

If all those conditions are met, Mr. Roosevelt will avoid exceeding the borrowing limit in this fashion: . ‘He will use $1,150,000,000 of excess funds now available in the

'Treasury’s working balance to pay]

some of this year’s bills, thereby preventing the $3,392,000,000 current deficit from lifting the national debt to $44,370,000,000 at the end of this fiscal year. < _ The figure, instead, will be $43,222,000, on June 30, 1940. That will leave him a margin of approx-

imately $1,778,000,000 with which tof

veen the| actual debt and

of the Treasury’s borer unused.

e Put to Congress

That is|a close haul. dget puts squarely to Congress [the question whether the debt limit shall be| increased at this session. d it poses the related and equally difficult question whether there shall be a new start toward budget balancing by reducing agriculture, relief, highway, reclamation, rivers, harbors, public buildings and public grants expenditures. Some of these are so-called pork barrel items, dear to Congressmen and their constituents. Mr. Roosevelt said no major existing project would be held up but many minor ones would be postponed. Notable among these budget slashes were: ; * Agricultural adjustment ' from $937,000,000 to $862,000,000; public highways, $209,000,000 to $192,000,000; reclamation, $99,000,000 to $59,000,000; rivers and harbors improvement, $66,000,000 to $50,000,000; miscellaneous items, $259,000,000 to $155,000,000; public buildings, $71,000,000 to $59,000,000; grants to public bodies, $328,000,000 to $113,000,000; relief, including $125,000,000 for the Farm Security Administration, all of which does not show in Mr. Roosevelt’s tabular round numbers, reduced from $1,912,000,000 to $1,433,000,000. Work relief alone was clipped almost $500,000,000 to $1,089,000,000.

Challenges Critics

Mr. Roosevelt believes this budget provides the simplest statement of Government expenditures ever pre- . sented to taxpayers. Here it is for the next fiscal year:

National Defense .......$1,800,000,000 Work Relief Programs. 1,300,000,000 Agricultural Programs . 900,000,000 Public Works and Investments Pensions, and Assistance ,200, Interest on Public Debt 1,100,000,000 Regular Operating ExPENses! .....co0v-v-. 1,000,000,000

Total $8,400,000,000

These figures were offered: with a . rebuke of the “glib generali-|In ties” of the budget balancers and a challenge to them to show where the spending program could be reduced. Mr. Roosevelt said he did not be- . lieve the people desired reductions in any of the foregoing categories and that to reduce regular operating expenses—the $1,000,000,000 item— Congress would have to act specifically to eliminate many Federal functions. “Therefore,” he said, “those who call for further cuts should have

Here Is Your Headline, FDR

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 (U. P.) —Editors, nlease note! President Roosevelt's budget message says this statement deserves a headline: “The deliberate use of Gcvernment funds and of Government credit to energize private enterprise—to put purchasing power in the hands of those who urgently needed it and to create a demand for the products of factory and farm—had a profound effect both on government and on private incomes. “The national income in four: years rose 69 per cent, from: 42 billion dollars in 1933 to 72 billion dollars in 1937, the largest absolute rise for any" four-year périod in our history, not even excepting the rise during the World War. _ “Tax revenues rose from 2 billion dollars in the fiscal year 1933 to,over 5 billion dollars in the fiscal year 1937, primarily because the people had more. income out of which to pay taxes. The people paid 3 bil- : lion dollars more in taxes but they had nearly 10 times more | than that, or 30 billion dollars, to spend on other things.” “This statement,” concluded .Mr. Roosevelt, “deserves a headline.”

the courage and the honesty to specify where they should be made. “I have carefully checked the individual estimates under these broad categories and I am satisfied that no lower figures can be attained except at the expense [of impairing the efficiency with which laws are administered or of working undue hardship ' on individuals and economic groups. I refuse to accept the responsibility of adopting either alternative.” Beyond emergency national €Xpense taxes, Mr. Roosevelt had three other revenue proposals: 1. A casual reminder that Congress had not raised revenue to repay the Treasury for approximately $338,000,000 of farm parity price subsidies appropriated beyond the budget for the years 1938-39. 2. A suggestion that Congress study the possibility of levying small fees on the users of national are and forests, lakes, waterways,\ harbors and coasts. "These fees would be used to maintain services such as roads, trails, grounds, dredged channels, buoys, - lighthouses, lifesaving stations, ete.

Plans Return of Funds

3. Return of approximately $700,000,000 to the Treasury by various Government corporations whose capital funds now are in excess of their needs. The Farm Credit Administration, Reconstruction Finance Corp. and Home Owners’ Loan Corp. would contribute substantially to this sum. The return of capital funds can be . accomplished. without additional legislation. The $700,000,000 thus to be realized will serve in the next fiscal year tr, reduce the net deficit from $2,876,000,000 to $2,176,000,900, the budgeted figure. With the draft of $1,150,000,000 on the Treasury’s working balance, this

of more acute economic difficulties for relief purposes represents a tightening of the New Deal belt for survival on reduced rations, made necessary by reluctance to raise the debt limit issue with Congress again. Mr. Roosevelt accompanied the $700,000,000 recapture plan with a renewal of his suggestion that Congress authorize the capitalization of certain Federal capital expenditures at have proven to be self-liquidat-

That would transform them from the category of expenditures to in-

Treasury the cash previously advanced. He -estimated that about $200,000,000 could be realized in that manner. Here is the way it would look in a specific case: The Government has about $100,000,000 invested in Boulder Dam. The money came out of taxpayer's

Boulder Dam is a proven financial success and will pay for itself from proceeds of electrical power. Therefore, he would have the investment

capitalized for a bond issue, the|

bonds to be sold to the public. ‘Bond interest and ultimate bond retirement would be provided from Dam revenue. The fund raised by the bond issue would be paid into the Treasury. The bonds would be contingent liabilities of the Government. Bonneville and Grand Coulee dams could figure in such a program. Mr. Roosevelt did not propose so extensive a capitalization venture in this budget, limiting his recommendation to advance of RFC funds to meet new self-liquidating loans of the Rural Electrification Adminis-

tration instead of asking Congress {o| {#

appropriate directly to the REA. : Watches Farm Situation

In refusing to include a farm par-| |

ity price program in this budget and cutting relief costs to new low, Mr. Roosevelt explained that future developments might require additional funds in both those directions and that he would, in that event, ask for more. As now planned, the Works Projects Administration will have 1941 fiscal year funds to employ an average of 1,350,000 persons compared with an average of 1,850,000 in the current fiscal year.

15 per cent to a 1941 program covering 600,000 young people. The Civilian Conservation Corps will have a monthly average enrollment of 230,000 next year compared with 295,000 currently. * : ‘Mr. Roosevelt pointed out that this budget brought public works appropriations within the $500,000,000 annual limit which he had suggested on several previous occasions as the proper figure “to conserve the reservoir of public projects for a time when private construction declines.”

Denies Cause for Anxiety

The new budget contained Mr. Roosevelt's philosophical comment on the public debt and a sharp complaint against the way it is discussed. He firmly asserted that there was no economic ground for anxiety, so far as the public debt is concerned, as to the nation’s future. But he complained that mere statement that the public debt is $42,000,000,000 without amplification conveyed a deceptive halftruth. He pointed out that the increase from June 30, 1933, to Dec. 31, 1939, was just over $19,000,000,000. “For another thing,” he added, “it would be more honest and honorable for them to say that while one line in the national budget shows a national debt of $42,000,000,000, other lines indicate that the Government has $7,000,000,000 of cash, gold available - for - debt redemption, and proprietary interest in Government corporations, which reduces. the net debt to $35,000.000,000. ; “In addition, of course, there are billions ‘of dollars’ worth of durable, tangible assets constructed or purchased by the Government that are a real offset to the debt, though never listed as such. “During the period between June 30, 1933, and June 30, 1940, nearly $14,000,000,000 of Federal funds will have gone into recoverable loans and investment and durable improvements. “The credit of the Federal Government has never been higher.”

VETERANS ASSURED RECREATION HALL

BRITAIN, FRANCE

Desire for U. S. Peace Based On Presidential Poll, Berlin Suggests.

"LONDON, Jan. 4 (U. P.).—President Roosevelt’s message to Congress received favorable comment in Great Britain today. His reminder that the United States was not disinterested in the European war, and that it was even less disinterested in the eventual peace, was held to have bolstered the Allies morally. British sources saw in the prospect for United States co-operation in the establishment of a new order in Europe, hope that it might work with the European democracies to restore democratic principles in world affairs. The News Chronicle, Liberal Party organ, said in cdmmenting on the address: “In the world teday Mr. Roogevelt stands head and shoulders above other men in the authority and power with which he spedks for democracy and freedom. His great speech to Congress made that more clear than ever. His words came to all people of good will in Europe as a breath of sanity and a sense of hope.”

Conception of “of Influence

Termed ‘Broad, Wise’ PARIS, Jan. 4 (U. P.).—President Roosevelt's conception of the exercise of American influence after the end of the European war “is as broad as it is wise and does honor ih him,” the Petit Parisien said toay “The policy is that of a true Chief of State who is not blinded by appearances and who directs his country in its best permanent interests,” it added.

Does He Mean Britain? Asks German Editorial

BERLIN, Jan. 4 (U. P.) —Newspapers, publishing brief extracts from President Roosevelt’s address to Congress, put their emphasis today on. his declaration that the United States must stay out of the European war. The Lokalanzeiger suggested that the President had his mind on the Presidential election when he said that the United States wanted to keep out of war. His warning regarding the future that the world would face if it were dominated by force was commented on as follows: “Mr. Roosevelt then unfolded a gloomy picture of a future ‘full of misery and danger even for the American people if the force of a certain few became dominant. Whether he was thinking of world domination by a few wealthy plutocratic powers, particularly. Great Britain, is not clear.” .

NEW WAR-ECONOMY

BERLIN, Jan. 4 (U. P)—Marshal |, Hermann Wilhelm Goering has assumed new war-economy powers “in order to meet the British blockade with ‘a superior chess move,” D: N. B..official German News Agency, announced today.

The new powers were not spaci fied, but the announcement fit in with recent moves designed, to intensify the Government’s already stringent economic control under the absolute authority of Herr Goering. An article by Herr Goering’s adjutant, State’s Secretary Paul Koerner, in the monthly periodical, the ‘| Four-Year-Plan, today set up “three _|necessary” assumptions if Germany was to meet the British blockade: 1..Strict centralized authority and clear responsibility. 2.

WORLEY TAX TRIAL IS SET FOR JAN, 30

~The Government civil suit for a delinquent income tax judgment for $25,000 against Claude M. Worley,

{former Indianapolis Police Chief,

has been set for trial at Federal Court at 10 a. m, Jan. 30. Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell also approved a Government motion making John E. Fehsenfeld and his wife, Ruth A. Fehsenfeld, codefendants. Mr. Fehsenfeld is president and a director of the Crystal Flash Petroleum Corp. His wife is vice president and Mr, Worley, formerly was a director. The Government . contends that Mr. Fehsenfeld and Mr. Worley were sole stockholders of the petroleum corporation, holding 51 and 49 per cent of the stock respectively. The Government has a lien on Mr. Worley’s 490 shares of the company’s stock and has been collecting dividends which have been applied against the tax claimed by the Government. Mr. Worley was convicted on income tax evasion charges and served three years and nine months in Federal Prison. He completed his sentence in May, 1636. *“

The company said it had not been advised what part of the cargo the British had seized as a “prize.” Officials said all American ships were denied clearance by U.

] many and Russia, closer and closer

together. Both Britain—with France following the British lead—and Italy are

in deciding the turn of coming ‘events. The London Government obviousIy is considering the possibility of a formal break in relations with Moscow, but at the same time seeking to avoid taking ihe initiative in such a move. From London it was reported that the forthcoming Foreign Office white book, which will contain the

tions for a mutual aid pact with Russia before the war started, will say that the Soviets at the last minute demanded British - and French approval of their plans for extending their zone of operations to the Baltic states. The white paper will be, it was predicted, moderate in tone but there were many who believed that it might lead the Soviets to break relations. The British, French and Italian Amabassadors to Moscow are en route or expected soon to be en route fo their own capitals and it was considered questionable whether they will return to Moscow.

Watch American Policy

In this situation, the European powers watched with ‘interest the development of American foreign policy. .From the Western Front came word that a large French patrol penetrated two miles into the German lines in a surprise raid and returned with prisoners. A second patrol surprised a German roving patrol column, killed 20 of its men and dispersed the rest, it was said. In reprisal for German flights over France, even as far as Paris, French planes have flown between 200 and 250 miles into Germany, it was said.

Nazis Fly Over France

For the third successive night German planes making reconnaissance flights over France succeeded in reaching the Paris area. Flights also were made over eastern France and the area adjoining the Belgian frontier. Two German planes, including one Dornier and one Messerschmidt, were reported in French military dispatches to have been shot down yesterday. New action also was reported in the Sino-Japanese war. The Domei (Japanese) agency claimed that Japanese troops had inflicted a severe defeat on a Chinese Army in northern Kwangtun province, and had almost wiped out the Chinese 157th Division, numbering perhaps 10,000 men.
