The propo nents of this measure fully recognise that the cost cannot be borne by legitimate mean. . . . they would discharge what they state to be a solemn obligation to the government ... by setting the printing presses to work printing dishonest dollars. "For a great, powerful nation . . . deliberately to adopt this Insidious and essentially dishonest device would to my mind be worse than an act of financial bankruptcy. It would con stitute moral bankruptcy. "Destroy confidence and you dry up credit and paralyze enterprise. No measure was ever drafted better cal culated to destroy confidence than the one now before you. Enact It Into law and you will stifle all hope of any early economic recovery and write the mont lamentable chapter In American history."

BUDGET BALANCE, (Continued from Page One.) "We cannot restore economic sta bility in the nation by continuing to siphon so large a part of private ef fort into the coffers of the govern ment," he said. "Its abstraction from the people stifles the productivity, the consumption and the recovery of employment. "Nor can we hide our heads in the sand by borrowing to cover cur rent government expenses, for thus we drain the capital of the country into public securities and draft it away from Industry and commerce." He urged study of the tax prob lem with a view toward reorganiza tion to distribute the burden more evenly, and cutting down duplication In taxation by the federal, state and local governments. Especially he spoke with disfavor of the general property tax, relied on heavily by states and local governments. Be correctly oorsetetj by ETHELWYN B.
