Is the U. S. Going Broke?
LAST Saturday the mteemed Oregonian bad a leading edi
torial that fairly made the hair on the top of one'g had
ttand on end (assuming there waa any hair there to follow
the traditional practice of the fretful porcupine).
"Where tof" wag the title of the editorial. The answer was,
ruin and destruction.
"IT LOOKS," declared the editorial, "a if we are headed for
inflation and chaot. Only the most stern measures of econ
omy and taxation can avert it. There ii no sign at Washington
that such measures will be taken."
'Where are we goingt" The secretary of the treasury
doesn't know. Congress doesn't know. The brain trust doesn't
know. The president doesn't know he only laughs, heartily
and often.
But the Oregonian DOES know!
Unless a program of rigid economy and heavy taxation,
reaching down to everybody and extending over a period of
years, putting the budget in balance and keeping it in balance,
is adopted there are only two alternatives and the time for
decision is nearing.
"One alternative Is shameful. The other spells ruin. One la
repudiation. The other Is to start the printing presses and turn
out worthless "money' by bsles. Already crackpot such as Patman,
are making progress In their urglnga for It. We are bound In the
pit and pendulum'a descent Is rapid."
All in all a very effective bit of melodrama. Nor do we wish
to minimize the seriousness of the financial situation, nor deny
the dexireahility of balancing the national budget, at the
earliest possible moment, consistent with the continuation of
such relief as is necessary to keep millions of men, women and
children from suffering and starvation.
BUT,
We can't share the Orcgonian'a extremity of alarm, or join
in its limitation of the alternatives. This is good political prop
aganda from the Q. 0. P. standpoint, no doubt, but it just
won't stand up under snne and fair-minded analysis.
IN THE first place this ig election year, when nothing is nor
mal and nothing will he normal until the election is over.
According to Paul Mallon who certainly can't be accused of
being pro-Roosevelt, the President is now working on new
tuxes to tnke care of the recently authorized bonus but, there
is practically no liklihood that congress will pass them. There
are too manv members of horn
But when the election ie, over, regardless of which party
wins, new taxes, higher and more inclusive ones, will be passed,
simply because they will have
be the case regardless of who is elected President. So much
for that.
AS TO greater economy in'federal expenditures this is also
inevitable. The government has already eliminated direct
relief to the states, and'but for the bonus and the invalidation
of the AAA, a long step toward the balancing of the budget
would have been made this yesr. The only thing it refuses to
do is stop relief when the need still exists.
With the steady improvement in general business conditions,
unemployment ia bound to decline, and with the marked in
crease in federal revenues, the gap between outgo and income,
is just as certain to become increasingly less.
The rejoinder from the auitated viewers-with-alarm, how
ever, will be'
"Even so, the annual deficit Is Increasing and alao tha national
debt; the former doubling, the latter reaohlng an all time high.
How can there be anything ahead but uncontrolled Inflation,
destruction and ohaoa?"
To which the answer is: There can be MANY things.
From the very outset of hit administration President Roose
velt has stood out against the printing press money bloc at
every turn of the rond. The brontlsidc he delivered against this
form of financial folly, in his veto of the Patman bonus bill,
could not have been ttronger if it had been written by J. P.
Morgan himself. In his recent selection of new members of the
Federal Reserve board, even his political enemies acknowledged
they were all representatives of sound money; good banking,
and a devastating rebuke to the professional inflationists. In
other words, Roosevelt can be
future, to fight, uncontrolled inflation with every resource at
his command.
AS TO the sir.e of the national
hrenlcinc hich.
But is that debt INSURMOUNTABLE! Is it so large, or
will it certainly become so large, that it can't be paid off,
and must therefore, eventually lead to either uncontrolled in
flation or repudiation!
If anyone in this country is competent to answer this ques
tion, that person undoubtedly it Dr. 0. M. Sprague, former
economic adviser to the Bank of
consultant for the Roosevelt administration. Dr. Sprague eer
tainly can't be accused of any pro New Deal leanings. He
resigned his office presumably
certiiin of the administration 't
no danger in the present size of the national debt and says so.
In a public ststement on Saturday he declared the national
debt could reach $40,000,000,000, without the weakening of
government credit."
Mind you, without "WEAKENING" government credit,
while the agitated Oregonian it envisaging the absolute
DESTRUCTION of that credit I This 40 billion ia approximately
ten billion dollars more (hurt, the national debt it today, and
the wildest guessers have placed the maximum possibility at
H5 billion.

economies, there it, except for pnrposea of political propananda.
no justification whatever for viewing the future with alarm
for seriously maintaining or intimating that unless the people
vote for this ticket or some other one, this great country, the
richest, the stronrjest ami the most resourceful in the world,
will go on inevitably to chaos and destruction.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
EVERT voter In America who does
n't believe la tht New Deal la
looking for a aatlafactory Presidential
candidate to OPPOSE the Kew Deal
for the first principle of practical
politics la that you can't beat some
body with nobody.,
Oovernor Alt M. Land on. of Kansas,
In his Wednesday night speech,
sought to convince these voters that
he la that man.
(If you art a pro-New Deal, you
won't believe a word be said, and will
be angry with him for saying It, for
he waa sharply critical of New Deal
policies. But If you are anti-New Deal,
you will give thoughtful ooiutderat
tlon to Landon'a bid for the Republi
can nomination.)
H
HERE are some points from hit
speech for consideration:
"Agricultural parity (meaning
equality with other Industries) should
be achieved by a TARIIT for farm
product.
That la to say, keep the American
market for American farmers by
8HUTINO OUT the products of for
eign forma.
The New Deal, by limiting produc
tion and thus raiting American prices
above the world level and at the same
time LOWERING tariff (the Cana
dian, for example) has invited flr
elgners to come In and aell to us what
we are hiring our own farmers not to
produce.
ANOTHER point:
"Let me make this smphatlc
the constitution of the United States
la NOT an obstacle to progress. It la
the balance wheel of progress.
The constitution of the United
States was flexible enough to permit
the abolition of human slavery, which
was at least aa progressive a step aa
this nation hat ever taken.
So It ought to be flexible enough to
permit us to take other TRULY PRO
GRESSIVE steps.
ANOTHER point:
"A nation will survive to cor
rect It political mistake, but If an
unsound financial program 1 coupled
with them the nation face deatrue
tlon." Which mean that nations, like In
dividuals, must REMAIN SOLVENT
If they are to get anywhere worth
getting to.
AND this one:
"We have teen appalling waste
and extravagance. We are exhausting
our oapltal on useless project which
advance ua no farther along our way."
It Isn't enough, that Is, Just to
spend money. If you're going to get
anywhere (except Into bankruptcy)
you must get something worth while
for the inoney you spend.
1ST
OW thla final point:
The choice ahead
of the
American people la NOT whether to
keep on with the mlstakea of the so
called New Deal, or to return to the
mistakes of the old order. The old
order BBLONOS TO THE PAST, but
sound American principles persist.
What he meana Is this:
When we finally settle down after
the experimenting of the past two or
three years. It will be at a point mid
way between where the New Deal rad
icale want to go and where the ex
treme conservative -ant to stop.

believe that he I the man who
can STOP US at that point. If he IS.

Consequently, he could get a theo
retical profit of about tl. 7000.000 out
of what would appear to be a small

be enough to pay the bonus.
Congressmen who ars talking about
issuing money against the old gold
profit or any new one. however, are
merely allowing their Ignorance of
money.
If the treasury did Itsue money j
against this gold. It would come right
back Into the banks the next day

Dear Editor: ,
I see that yu interpret the over
whelming defe.t of the Sales Tax o
the fa-Tt that the people of Oregon
do not want a tales tsx.
The real reasen is that the vote was
a protest by the Townsendltes against
an Inaiiequnte pennon snd the Social
Security act. and really is a declata-
tlon of "Th Towmend Plan or noth
ing." I watched particularly for ths re
sult at Rogue River where they have
wide awake Townwid club. The
vote wss practlouly unanimous
against It.
I also notice In nsarly all articles on
the Towneend proposition that it 13
referred to as "a ptsn to psy an old
sge pension of 200," Just as If that
wst. the ultimate end of the whole
plan; but tt goes farther than that.
If the thinking public would think
through and study It they would find
that It is also a plsn to get the yountz
people Into Joba and bring security
back to the vast army of the middle
class between youth and old age.
It Is said that there are five million
young folka that will never have Joba.
That is a far more serious proposition
thsn the aged.
Also the middle class are In desper
ate shape due to lost of Income and
precarious financial situations, mil
lions of them will end up In poverty
where. If It were not for thla depres
sion, they would be Independent U
not fairly wealthy.
And above all else, the Townaend
Plan is a plan to bring us out of this
depression, which millions of people
think It will do.
Also remember when anyone calls It
cock-eyed or fantastic that the germ
for the whole plan waa given to ut
first by the United States chamber of
commerce.
Respectfully.
GEO. IVERSON.
