On the other hand, there is not a city nor a county in Amjerica that is not pressed fallen off, both because of . the depression and because of . antiquated tax systems. Furthermore, we are beginning to , hear a wave of propaganda in favor of still further economy in the schools propaganda backed, for the most part, by wealthy individuals who have far less reason for complaining about school expenditures than the ordinary middleclass citi zen who pays his taxes without a whimper. It is a critical situation. The- school system is in the pro cess of collapsing, and it is supremely important that the collapse be averted.

In Washington fly Herbert Piummer WASIUNOTON As yet there never has been defined olearly what President Roosevelt regards as the "emergency" phases of his adminis tration and those he looks upon as parts of his promised "new deal" In government. During the campaign much was heard of the "forgotten man" and what would be done to Improve his lot. Many felt there was an Implied promise of the building of a new economic order In this country. Then came March 4 and with It the series of unprecedented crises. Machinery was Installed hastily to cope with the emergency. The "new deal," In the minds of almost every - body, became synonymous with everything that was being done to bring the nation back to Its feet. Those close to the president, how ever, are of the opinion that he draws a clear distinction between his em ergency program and the "new deal." Behind The TVA Dr. Arthur B. Morgan, director of the Tennessee Valley Authority, In a recent discussion of the TVA, brought this out clearly when he said that the project should not be considered pri marily as a dam building job, a fertilizer Job or power transmission lob. When I first went to see Presi dent Roosevelt," said Morgan, "he talked for an hour about the TVA and there was scarcely a mention of power or fertilizer. Ho talked chiefly about a de- signed and planned social and eco- nomlo order. That was. what was first In his mln-JL At the time I did not roallzo how far-flung his ideas haTnlZnrrJ country as a whole didn't realize how great a change in private and national llfo was to be made. I have spent possibly 10 hours with him since talking over the TVA and I may say that to him this IS not a part of the emergency pro gram." . Looking To The Future Morgan points out that the govern ment is providing about five billion dollars for the emergency programs and that about 1 per cent of this Is to be used for the TVA. i If wo can make the work serve an cmerRcncy purpose, however," he says, "that should be done, but It 1 should not be looked upon as emer-! gency work.
