I. S. SPENDING |

FOR 8 MONTHS TOPS 6 BILLION

Debt Over $42,300,000,000; Pegged as Major Issue in Election Campaign. By LYLE C. WILSON

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Government spending for this fiscal

year rolled past the six billion dol-|

lar figure today with four months to go before the period ends. - The Treasury deficit has climbed beyond $2,500,000,00 and the national debt is in excess of $42,300,000,000. : Both items have been pegged by Republicans as major Presidential campaign issues.

Other Possisle Savings Listed Last night, the National Economy ‘League proposed a plan to balance the budget with a cut of 830 millions in the 1941 relief estimate and imposition of 431 millions in new taxes. The league would peg Federal expenditures at $7,282,000,000 instead of the . $9,027,000,000 recommended by Mr. Roosevelt in his “bed-rock” budget. : Other proposed cuts included 414 millions in public works, 361 millions in farm benefit payments, 40 mil= lions in funds for credit agencies and 100 millions in departments, tax refunds and supplemental requests. : President Roosevelt, who has permitted himself to be entered in President preference’ primaries in half a dozen states, evidently is aware that the public debt is an inviting campaign target. He has discussed the matter several times recently. His most complete statement on the relationship of debt to recovery and national economy was made Feb. 10 before the American Youth Congress.

Economy Talk Grows

“Finally, I said last Monday,” Mr. Roosevelt told the Youth Congress “—and this was the part that was most seriously mangled and garbled by certain types of papers and certain types of politicians—that the total debt of all the people of the ‘United States—private debt, state and local government debts, and the debt of the Federal Government was less in 1939 than it was in 1932. That is a simple fact— somewhere around two billion dollars less—in a nation which has six or seven million people more in it than eight years ago.” The debt-deficit issue is wedged firmly into the 1940 campaign and all Republican candidates and some Democrats are talking economy at every opportunity. 3 The Glenn Frank Committee report on program submitted last week to the Republican National Committee proposed a 20 per cent cut in spending and a balanced budget two years thereafter.

BETTER LABOR RELATIONS AIM ‘OF NEW GROUP

‘Collective Bargaining Associates’ Will Advise Employers and Unions.

Times Special 3 WASHING TON, Feb. 26—The second effort within a week to make unionism work on a national scale, and indirectly counteract ill effects of labor board probes and A. F. L.C. I. O. splits, was started Saturday by 30 leading industrial engineers, economist and government officials. Incorporated as a non-profit society under the title “Collective Bargaining Associates,” the new group hopes to reduce industrial warfare and improve the technique of labor relations by acting in an eclucational and advisory capacity with employers and unions. With somewhat the same idea— that the legal guaranty of the right of collective bargaining must be supplemented by facilities to make such bargaining more efficient and peaceful—Senator Robert Wagner (D. N. Y.) last week introduced a bill for a U. S. Mediation Board. Federal officials on the “C. B. A.”

General Francis | Biddle, former Labor. Board head and Federal Circuit ‘Judge; Federal Works Administrator John M. Carmody, William M. Leiserson of the National Labor Relations Board, Chairman Otto S. Beyer of the National (Railway) Mediation Board, and Chairman Robert W. Bruere of the Maritime Labor Board.. Engineers Are Listed Industrial engineers include: Morris L. Cooke, Francis Goodell, Harlow S. Person, Director Henry C. Metcalf of the Bureau of Personnel administration, and Sanford E. Thompson. : Among the economists and educators are: President Alvin S. Johnson of the American Economics Association, Prof. Harry A. Millis of Chicago, Prof. Willard E. Hotchkiss of Carnegie Tech, Prof. George W. Taylor of Wharton School, Prof. Max Lerner of Williams, Dean Edwin E. Witte of Wisconsin, Prof. Sumner Schlichter of Harvard, Prof. Edward W. Bakke of Yale, Dean Wayne L. Morris of Oregon; and also— Director Jacob Billikoff of the Labor Standards Association and Secretary: John B. Andrews of the American Association for Labor Legislation. The point made by Collective Bargaining Associates (from the non-legislative approach) and by

tive side) is that the fruits of collective bargaining cannot be imposed by law, but grow only through intelligent development by employer and employees. 15 toc Be On Board ; These two moves would provide expert aid—the one private and the other governmental, but both voluntary—for companies and unions unable to get together on wages, hours, working conditions and the thousand and one shifting problems of day-by-day labor relations. . .As soon as practicable the C. B. A. board will consist of 15 members, five each chosen among union leaders, employers with union contracts and technicians. Although Saturday’s statement did not explain, presumably the labor. representatives must wait on some kind of A. F. of L.-C. I. O. agreement.

cepts the Wagner Act as here “to stay,” but as ‘a beginning rather than an end.” Without entering the bitter controversial field of amendments, it remarks: “It was to be expected that fumbling would occur during the period of trial-and-error education in the enforcement of the act. . . . Its usefulness will be what we make it.”
