Bookkeeping.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Calamity
kowlers are yodellng In despair about
the federal budget. They think It Is
tn bad shape. They aay It will not
t unbalanced but so far askew ns
to disturb confidence In government
bonds. They see no prospect of per
4 forming the spring refinancing suc
cessfully. They do not say these
things openly, but that la what they
sre driving at.
Their trouble la that they assume
the government needs money to bal
ance the budget.
As a matter of practical fact, all
he government needs la a good eharp
pencil.
Fundamentals.
No well-informed people use the
phrase "balancing the budget" any
more. It Is obsolete. It does not
. mean anything under the existing
treasury bookkeeping system.
Everyone knows these alphabetical
sniper-relief seeneles are costing more
money than the government can tak
Di. They will possibly cost ten bil
lions during the next three yeirs.
But thes'e expenses are NOT In the
tudget'. They are segregated outside.
The budget contains only the ordin
ary running expenses of the govern
ment. The Inside estimate la that
' It wilt show a surplus of a billion
dollara at the end of this fiscal year
(June 30).
' -So the question la NOT whether
the budget is' balanced, but whether
the whole scheme of income and out-
go Is on a sane basis. The real prob
lem Is riot to make the books bal
ance but to maintain the confidence
of bondholders in Wv governments
ability to pay of fits excess current
expenditures in the end.
At least that la the principle upon
which Mr. Roosevelt la proceeding.
He believes It can and will be done
that way.
Mr. Roosevelt's theory Is that busi
ness will be better. If It Is, govern
ment revenues will be better. He can
pay off In yeara of plenty the obli
gations incurred In the years of want.
Some experts doubt his ability to do
that.
But what It all boll down to la a
question whether you think bualness
is going to be sufficiently better to
meet the expenses within a reason
able time. If you do not believe It
will, then you do not want govern
ment bonds or money or anything
lse except a storm cellar full of food.
The administration men here think
cannot help but work out satis
factorily. They say that If Mr. Roose
Telt keeps spending within reason
t and keeps congress from going off on
a ten billion dollar public works
spree and other thlnga like that, he
will be all right.
They know the existing budget sys
tem is trick bookkeeping. They also
know that It Is a practical necessity.
Therefore, all they want to do is
"to keep excesa expenditures within
Teason. and they will not worry about
balancing the budget."
,. Voice.
Mr. Hoover himself concurs in the
Republican decision to lay otf Roose
relt in the coming congressional ses
sion. At least his unofficial Washington
spokesman, Larry Rlchey, has Joined
in the move. Rlchey hae told all Re
publican senate and house leaders
who asked him that he thinks It
would be unwise to use obstruction
tactics. He thinks the welfare of the
country ahould be considered first.
Rlchey would hardly have taken
such a step without having heard
from ralo Alto.
Effect.
The decision means that Senator
Teas can keep on aaylng the country
1u going to hell. If he wants to. 6en-
ator Schell will be permitted to char
acterise Oeneral Johnson as a scor
pion or worse. The Republican na
t'onal committee can lambast the
money policy. These will be consid
ered purely personal and routine pv
Htlcal mattera.
The general basic policy of the
aomlnal Republican leadera In con
gress will be to go along with the
administration whenever they can.
How much the decision means w.V.
depend on how It works out in pr -tlce
on the floor of each house.
Candidate.
The big ahot Republicans rechd
another decision which was NOT
made public. They agreed to ft
pedal talk about presidential candi
dsclea for 1936.
To talk about or work for McNary.
Bneli. Mills. Reed or Hoover aaln. at
this time, would be foolish. The only
mmedlste political problem Iwn
their standpoint la the congressional
tlertion nxt November. They de
elded to concentrate on that In an
Individual rsther than a national
wsv.
These decisions merely apply llt
t'.e common sense to the situation
' After all. that la the best politics.

LEADER RECEIVES
Announcement From Wash
ington Comes As Surprise
Date of Assumption Not
Known Many Had Hopes
Frank IteSouza, local attorney and
chairman for three years of the Jack
son county Democratic central com
mittee, was today named postmaster
In Medford to succeed W. J. Warner,
whose commission expired December
18, according to an Associated Pre&
dispatch from Washington, D. C. The
announcement, Although anticipated
for some time, came as a surprise to
day, report having been given out
yesterday that the appointment would
not be made until Postmaster-Genera!
Farley returned from Europe.
Attorney DeSouza, when Interview
ed, said that he had not received of
ficial word from Washington, so d!d
not know when he would assume of
fice, but believed that it would not
be until after the Christmas holidays.
Had Endorsement.
He received information frr-m
Washington about 10 days ago, an
nouncing that he had been given the
endorsement of the Oregon Demo
cratic organization.
Postmaster Warner had received no
further information regarding the ex
piration of his term this afternoon.
Mr. DeSouza, who nas made his
home in Medford for the past 31 years,
during which time he has practiced
law, has been a follower of the Bour
bon banner all his life, and was a
prominent leader in Democratic cir
cles in Arizona before coming to Ore
gon. He was secretary of the Jackson
county Democratic central committee
for a number of years before he yas
made chairman.
His father was also a Democrat all
his life and his daughter Is going to
be the same, the local attorney de
clared today, when questioned regard
ing the party affiliations of his family.
Has Wide Experience.
Mr. DeSouza practiced law in phoe
nix, Ariz., a number of years before
coming here. He was secretary there
of the Arizona corporation commis
sion for three years, and was a mem
ber of the territorial legislature be Ore
Arizona was granted statehood. He
was secretary of the convention, he.d
at Phoenix, when statehood was
adopted.
Earlier Jn lire he followed the news
paper game in Arizona, and then re
ceived what he termed today "some
of the most valuable experience" of
his life.
Many Sought Plum.
There were a number of candidates
for the position of Medford postmas
ter among Jackson county Democrats,
so all news relative to the appoint
ment has been anxiously followed.
A temporary let-down Jn enthusi
asm, however, resulted yesterday from
the report of a government of flc m I
that an appointment would not he
made until March. The notice from
Washington today then came as a
climax to months of watchful wait
ing in Bourbon groups.
The weather man says today, De
cember 21, is the shortest in the
year, and officially is the beginning
of winter. But Medford folk this
afternoon were inclined to doubt the
"weather books," for a maximum of
54 degrees was reached, and the ur.
shone warmly at noon.
Winter solstice, however, was marie
ed by the sun rising today at 7:36
a. m , and will set at 4 43 p. m.

FRENCHJBELIEF
American Arrested As Head
of Group Says He's Victim
of Error Investigation
Broadened Outside France
PARIS, Dec. St. (AP) Robert
Swltz, American citizen, said today
he was Innocent of connection with
a gang of alleged International spies,
despite the accusation of French
police who have arrested him as a
leader, and was "the victim of an
error."
Shadows of Germany's reputedly
master spy system were seen by po
lice today behind the operations of a
mysterious band of forty spies In
whose alleged network two Americans
were caught.
Probe Broadened.
With ten persons under arrest and
the Investigation broadening outside
the borders of France, fears were ex
pressed by authorities that highly
valuable documents containing French
military secrets already had left the
country.
Threads of evidence leading to Ber
lin were declared to have been Indi
cated in the huge mass of confiscated
documents studied by the investigat
ing magistrate. '
The discovery of communist docu
ments among the many papers and
books seized caused police to believe
at first that soviet espionage was In
volved chiefly, but as the investiga
tion aped forward today officials con
jectured it might have been part
of the plan to allow such documents
to be found.
May Have Been Tools.
With these developments, police
also said they thought Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Swltz, listed as having lived
formerly in New York and New Jersey,
might possibly have been merely tools
in the hands of the real leadera of
the espionage syndicate who escaped
abroad.
Police explained that the young
Americans were taken in custody after
they had been foupd In possession of
large sums of money and with their
baggage packed, leading Investigators
to believe they were prepared for
flight after having spirited the most
important military secrets across the
frontier.
I) e porta 1 1 o n Looms.
. The Swltza and other foreigners
probably would be deported, officials
said unless serious evidence was un
covered against them.
Meanwhile, today, it was Indicated
that the United States government
would Investigate the case of Mr. and
Mrs. Swltz.
The soviet angle of the Investiga
tion was not dropped, however, as
two distinct cases of espionage point
ing tn that direction were said by
Police Commissary Mondanclle to
have been uncovered by the French
counter espionage service.

the English just stock up on
our securities during these low
prices. There is a real weather
vane. There is nothing with his
feet on the ground (and as
much of 'em) as an old conser
vative Englishman. He sees
farther than our rich men.
That's why they arc coming
nut of their mess ahead of u.
Another thing too, the fellow
sitting off looking at you can
tell better how you are doing
than you can yourself. Hutch
inson says England looks on us
as a baby boy who has been
out on a toot, but will sober up,
change some of his ways and be
a better boy for it.
