Where Will the Spending End?
IN TODAT'S issue a correspondent from Jacksonville views
the present "spending orgy" with alarm. He wonders where
all the money is coming from to repay these billions, and opines
that if a halt is not called soon complete bankruptcy will result.
This is a perfectly natural and rather prevalent reaction.
Boosting tbe national debt from 20 to over 30 billions, in a
few years, is enough to knock anyone's eye out.
But what would he or anyone else DO about itt
. Would he abandon the R. F. Ci which &as loaned millions
to the railroads so they could continue operation and meet
their interest charges t ,
Would he close over a thousand banks which, without gov
ernment money, would never have been able to continue under
the deposit insurance plan!
Would he shut up the C. C. C. camps, which are keeping
hundreds of young men employed in our forests, providing sus
tenance for their families, and making permanent improvements
in our forests which will pay dividends to all the people' in
this country, for generations to comet
Would he stop all farm loans, all home loans (he wouldn't
stop many of these judging by local results), all civil works,
and public works expenditures?
Probably not. But THESE relief measures the most stu
pendous program of material relief ever carried on by any gov
ernment in the history of the world, ARE what these huge
expenditures are BEING MADE fori
,
IT IS a lot of money, an almost incomprehensible sum. And
no thoughtful person can view such expenditures either
with indifference, or complacency.
But WHAT is the alternative
Our correspondent speaks of
does he doubt for a minute that if these huge expenditures had
NOT been made, bankruptcy would have been IMMEDIATE?
Not only technical bankruptcy, but a resulting chaos and con
fusion and collapse of national morale, which might well have
reduced this country to a bloody shambles f
We quite understand our correspondent's feeling of alarm
and apprehension. As time goes on and expenditures increase
in volume, such a sentiment throughout the country will prob
ably increase, rather than decline.
Nor have we any patience with those who would dispose of
such critics, by calling them names, or trying to maintain, they
are less patriotic, than those who stand back of the President's
recovery program, with undiminished ardor and enthusiasm.
1VJO, that ISN'T the course to pursue. This is a free country.
A Every citizen is entitled to his own ppinion, and the right
to express it. Often the best patriot is not the man who runs
with the orowd, and cheers because everyone else, is cheering;
but the man who resists popular acclaim, fights the tide, thnt
to him appears to be sweeping his country to destruction, and
gives the needed warning before it is too late. .
But we DO believe, that at the PRESENT time, those so
alarmed at what they term "an orgy of spending," fail to see
the other side of the picture and the only thing needed to allay
their alarm, is to clearly SHOW them, that other side.
We can't have our cake and eat it. We can't give idle men
work, or starving people food, without paying the bill, for it.
All the money may not be spent with the greatest wisdom. There
will be waste of course. Thero always is.
But the main thing is in the end WILL there be victory?
. President Roosevelt says there will be. He has asked for
money and more money, but by 1936 at the latest, he de
clares further demands will stop, the victory will have been
won, our form of government will have been maintained, and
the process of spending will be
paying back.
WE believe he is right. We not only believe, but KNOW,

are steadily 'getting better. And we further believe they are
getting better, not because they would have anyway, had
nature been allowed to take her course but because of the
relief program that the administration has instituted, aud is now
carrying on.
11TE beliove that a country that boosted its .foreign debt to
" $27,000,000,000 to fight a foreign war, and after that
war was won, paid back nearly $10,000,000,000 in as many
years; CAN boost its debt to $32,000,000,000, to fight an eco
nomic war, and after THAT war has been wou, pay back as
much or more, in an equal time.
That is our belief. We have no particular quarrel with those
who don't share it. But we will
tion or the man who ACCEPTS disaster and defeat without
AT LEAST making a fight to prevent it.
For the resident's program, right or wrong, is ALL we
have, and ALL we can GET. It's sink or swim as far as this
country is concerned.
We prefer to swim, instead of gasping at the HEIGHT of
the monetary waves, and declaring, it CAN'T be done. And
we believe that is the way a MAJORITY of the American peo
ple, regardless of party, feel about it.

from me to deny
that Infra red

and that they give grateful relief In
many caaee. Nearly all of us have
experienced the extraordinary effect
or infra red rays at one time or an
other. Grandma had great faith In
their virtues In caaes of bellyache,
only she Just wrapped a atove grid

up little Johnny's tummy. She really
didn't know she was treating the
child with Infra, red rays, but she
was. One gets'. Infra red rays from
an ordinary hot poultice or from

the "nose-closing rays," aa does vapor

Why favor gold as "standard money,"
That's hoarded in a vaulted hold?
"Flat currency" coin or "stable,"
Much pro and con of these we're
told.
Are we growing a "tower of Ba.be V'?
(As befell In days of old),
Uuslng lauguage much confounded.
And scheming figures to behold.
Is Uncle Sam of Mammon's victim,
Must he conform to "Wall Street's"
mold?
Can Uncle bring prosperity,
And "hold the sack" for Shylock's
gold?
If the dollar Is "honest money,"
(Where confidence can well reside)
Why should prosperity now and then
'Go "around the corner" and hide?
If "love of money is an evil,"
(And controlled by the money-lust)
Why boast of wealth in terms of dol
lars, . And stamp thereon "In God We
Trust"?
If "al wealth is produced by labor,"
And "creates all the increment,"
Why should there be land and money
lords. To claim a profiteer's percent?
Must Uncle borrow and reborrow,
On the credit of labor's toll?
And so repeat "ad infinitum,"
For greedy "money changer's"
spoil?
Would Uncle wish to get from under
The heavy burden on his pack?
Must he really buck like thunder.
And dump the grafter off his back?
How about it. you taxpayer.
Is there a mortgage on your shack?"
Can Uncle still borrow trlbut-money.
And forever hold the sack?
