National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart National Pres Building Washington, D, C. they have been chiseling and pulling at the federal teat is because they have been taught by the Washington government through six or eight years that they could do it and get away with it. The politicians within a state can not be blamed wholly, because they are politicians, seeking election or seeking to hold office or party power or what have you. It was so much easier to bring pressure to bear in go home with big Washington, checks, shout to the folks that they were bringing home the bacon without adding to the tax of their home folks. That is, they said there was no additional tax because it was a federal tax that had to make up for what the states drew out and the federal taxes are not as easily seen as taxes in a state, a county or a city. It has come to such a pass these days that few state politicians dare to suggest at home that they raise the relief funds locally. It would, So be political suicide, they feel they follow the beaten track to and the Washington Washington, politicians from President Roosevelt down havent the courage to send them back home without some token of appreciation something of a minor character like a check for a few millions and a promise of more. If one is really going to trace this thing dowm to its start, I believe It has to go back to Herbert Hoovers administration. It will be recalled that Mr. Hoover proposed and obtained congressional action on a plan by which the Reconstruction Finance corporation was created. It was to loan money to tide business over until the depression had worn itself out. It was not a sound plan then; it is not sound now. It was opposed by Democrats then but it has been expanded and enlarged and glorified by them since. But the fact that it was created constitutes the tragedy. The fact that there was a spot where government way. cash could be borrowed started poliAs the session wore on, unemployment increased until the other ticians looking to Washington.

There is nothing more contagious than homesickness among congressmen when primaries are in the air and votes around the grass roots await to be garnered. I suppose that when they go, there will be a certain amount of critieongress. cism about the Particularly will they hear barks that they have left the nations most important problem unsolved. They will be told how they should have charted a course to lead the country out of the depression and how they failed to do anything towards restoring unemployed to permanent jobs. The prospect of this condition, it seems to me, warrants a general discussion without pulling punches. Congress is supposed to formulate national policies. It, therefore, must accept some blame for its lulure. But it is not alone to blame, and the voters ought to know it. There are some other spots to which attention should be directed in all fairness to the members of the house and senate. Let us look back a bit. It must be agreed, I believe, that recovery is the foremost problem. Recovery plans must be divided. Attention must be given, first, to relief of the destitute, the unemployed. Secondly, policies must be laid down that will permit business, big and little, to take on woikers or obviously they will remain on the relief rolls. Since last November, there have been pleas, threats, argument all seeking establishment of policies that would permit business to have confidence. There has been nothing from President Roosevelt m the way of suggestions or proposals along this line, and congress refused, cowardly enough, to lead the Washington its duds. i ie i -- I 1 -i PARTON By LEMUEL F.
