Show Bruckart's Washington Digest President Irked by Georgia's Refusal to Alter Constitution State Will Get No More Money From Federal Govern ment; Possibilities of Staggering Burdens of Taxation Pointed Out by Hoover and Byrd. By WILLIAM BRUCKART WNU Service, National Press Bid;., Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON. The state of Georgia has a provision in its state constitution that effectively prevents an accumulation of state debt It is one of the few states having such a constitutional inhibition of that kind. But the fact that such a pro vision exists in Georgia suddenly has become momentous in the eyes and minds of the New Dealers, headed by the President, himself. Because it is in the news, however, Mr. Roosevelt's criticism of the provision pro-vision forces a review of the facts and Implications flowing from that charter provision. Mr. Roosevelt said recently while sojourning at Warm Springs, Ga., as he does frequently, that Georgia will get no more federal money. His particular peeve at Georgia resulted re-sulted from the fact that the state has not amended its constitution to permit it to borrow directly from agencies of the federal government as most other states have done with federal money flowing like streams at flood. The President was disgusted with Georgia's attitude; hence, the federal government is all through with giving the state more money. Of course, it is only my opinion the opinion of only one observer but it nevertheless strikes me that in years to come, the citizens of many states will have cause to regret re-gret the absence of such provisions from their respective state constitutions. constitu-tions. It is only a question of time. Politicians and over-zealous advocates advo-cates of "improvements" and the like have been rushing to the federal fed-eral feed trough in droves, carrying away checks. They have borrowed billions from the national government; govern-ment; they have received grants or gifts of other billions for the country coun-try as a whole on condition that they put up additional funds to match or equal the federal gift, and they, in consequence, now are loaded load-ed down with debt. So, I say there will be cause for regret that so few states have the same provision as Georgia has when the time comes for payment. There must be taxation taxa-tion if the debts are paid, or there must bo that awful thing, repudiation. repudia-tion. Must Be Additional Taxation, or Repudiation Former President Hoover has had much to say about the waste that has been going on, and has coupled those observations with the possibilities possibil-ities of staggering burdens of taxation. taxa-tion. So has Sen. Harry Byrd, Democrat, Dem-ocrat, of Virginia. Mr. Hoover's criticisms have been laughed off by the administration here because Mr. Hoover is a Republican. Senator Byrd's jibes have been pooh-poohed because he has insisted on sound government and has been frequently anti-New Deal. But Mr. Hoover and Senator Byrd each have stressed a little noted phase of potentialities inherent in the situation. They have talked about moral codes. Now, it appears, as I said above, there must be additional taxation to meet these loans (whether from the federal government or from private borrowers) or there must be repudiation. repudi-ation. Repudiation is simply and plainly a refusal to pay a debt. Refusal Re-fusal to pay an honest debt makes deadbeats. In the light of these facts, I want to make a little prediction. I am going to predict that there will be movements in many states within 10 years to have the federal govern-must govern-must relinquish its claims against those states; to have congress pass legislation that will say to the states, in effect, "Just tear up the papers and we will tear up your notes and bonds and forget about the whole thing." Politicians of the unsavory, demagogic type will leap onto such a thought and shout from the housetops house-tops of every community in the state that the federal government that great and rich government ought to forego collection. They will have all kinds of arguments why it ought to be done, but their real reason for doing so will be to obtain votes for their own election to office. They will be saying to the people that it will not be repudiation if the federal fed-eral government says it does not desire to collect; yet, it is my contention con-tention that such proceedings will be thoroughly dishonest It will be exactly the same as if the state had said; I won't pay. President on Wrong Track tn Lambasting Georgia When Mr. Roosevelt was giving the people of Georgia a tongue-lashing, therefore, I believe he was on the wrong track. He was lambasting lambast-ing them for continuing to run their iffairs on a sound basis, for continuing con-tinuing to avoid subservience to the national government, and for refusing refus-ing to surrender comp'.etely the rights of a sovereign state. For, be it known, there are very few easier ways to force a state or county or city or other subdivision of government, govern-ment, to become "bossed" by the national government than the way that has been chosen through the use of money. In fact it seems rather a sour note in our national policies to witness almost complete subjugation of states ot lesser areas' by the use of federal money when, with another hand, the government through the various propaganda agencies or by legal action constantly constant-ly threatens to send private persons or corporations to jail for seeking selfish control for private gain. The only difference that I can see is that one is purely for monetary gain in the case of private action, while in the governmental situation, the benefits are political from which rascals or crooks eventually get their graft. Some Washington writers, in considering con-sidering the President's Warm Springs outburst, attributed his frame of mind to the fact that Georgia's Geor-gia's citizens (or a majority of them) refused to follow Mr. Roosevelt's Roose-velt's demand for the defeat of Sen. Walter George. You remember, of course, how Mr. Roosevelt went into Georgia and endorsed United States Attorney Lawrence Camp for the Democratic senatorial nomination. It is of fresh recollection, too, how he said that Senator George was old fashioned out dated almost a one-' hoss shay. President's Statement May Be Clever Political Move I am in no position to know whether wheth-er the failure of Georgia to obey the Roosevelt command entered into the discourse that has since become an issue. Nor am I well enough acquainted ac-quainted with New Deal plans to say whether the President has taken his first step for 1940 convention delegates dele-gates in this way. It is possible, obviously, that the Warm Springs statement may be a clever political politi-cal move. Think of it this way: by starting a row, the President possibly possi-bly could be laying the groundwork for uniting the anti-George forces. If they are united and fighting, it is within the realm of possibilities that they could take the Georgia delegation delega-tion out of Senator George's control con-trol in 1940. That would be a great victory for the radical element of the Democratic party. Then, too, the Warm Springs declaration dec-laration may be designed to have an effect on the forthcoming congress. I think it goes without saying that the new congress is going to be very much different than that which it supplants. For one thing, there will be less very much less money mon-ey voted for the administration to use as it sees fit There will be a bloody battle before congress again writes out blank checks for Hopkins or Harold Ickes to use. It is likely, indeed, that there will be some rather rath-er rigorous investigations of things already done under the blank check appropriations of money. If the in vestigations are thorough, there will be a stench rise from the committee room where the job is done. Thus, if Mr. Roosevelt hopes, by the Warm Springs statement, to awaken a fresh thirst for money among local politicians throughout the country, it may be a piece of clever politics. Whatever the purpose of the criticism criti-cism 4 of the Georgia prohibition against borrowing, it can not alter the fundamentals of the situation. Georgia, as a state, is better off. It will be far better off 10 years from now when the country has sorted out the good things of the New Deal and put them to proper use. Its citizens will be happier and less burdened with taxation at a time when the people of Pennsylvania, for example, exam-ple, are using profane language about paying for needless and useless use-less "improvements" a state of mind they surely will reach as soon as they have forgotten the mouth-ings mouth-ings of politicians and have begun to pay through the nose. Can Washington Horn in On a State's Policies? There is yet another element involved in-volved in the situation precipitated by Mr. Roosevelt's Warm Springs statement It involves the question, directly, whether a state shall determine de-termine its own policies or have them dictated from Washington. Only a few days ago, the department depart-ment of labor disclosed that it was trying to persuade all of the states to pa; legislation exactly like the federal law governing wages and hours of workers. The department's bureaucrats have drafted a "model" law which they are trying eagerly to get the states to adopt so that busi ness within a state will be subjected to the same provisions as business operating across state lines. . That same course wis pursued when NRA was young and bfore it was discov ered that the blue eagle had more feathers in one wing than it had in the other. These tilings are dangerous. Once such tactics are successful, they are followed by demands and commands of broader scope. S Western Newspaper Union.

Strike Defeat Arouses Fears -By Joseph W. La Iline mistlc. Last summer the President and Mr. Morgenthau estimated the treasury would need $2,800,000,000 in new money before the fiscal year is ended. December's $700,000,000. plus $800,000,000 borrowed last September, Sep-tember, brings the total thus far to only $1,500,000,000. With business on the upgrade, with relief costs expected to diop as a result and with federal receipts expected to begin Increasing immediately, there is every prospect that part of the remaining $1,300,000,000 included in last summer's estimate will not be needed.

Foreign French labor won a 40-hour week in 1936 under Premier Leon Blum's Socialist administration. One of Socialist So-cialist Blum's henchmen then was Edouard Daladier, who rose from war minister to become a premier himself. But Premier Daladier, though labeled a Radical Socialist has been growing cooler towards labor's la-bor's left-wing Popular Front ever since Adolf Hitler became a leading force in European affairs. Reason: Labor and the Popular Front are communistic and Adolf Hitler hates Communists. Moreover, labor's 40-hour week has needed drastic modification since the September Sudeten crisis. Though anxious to appease the LEON JOUHAUX M. Daladier remembered M. Briand. Reich, Daladier also realizes France must speed armament production to cope with the menace across the Rhine. When French labor first began be-gan protesting against increased hours, it became apparent that the ultimate showdown would have tremendous tre-mendous significance. The showdown show-down has now arrived, but the full significance will not be known for several weeks. Under Leon Jouhaux, French composite of America's John Lewis and William Green, 5,000,000 members mem-bers of the potent General Labor confederation announced a one-day strike. Its purpose: to protest against drastic decree laws which Premier Daladier and Finance Minister Min-ister Paul Reynard believe necessary neces-sary to stave off financial chaos. One protested decree, naturally, was that increasing work hours to 44 a week. Not even Labor Leader Jouhaux denied the strike was purely political, politi-cal, being simply a Popular Front attempt to test the power of Premier Pre-mier Daladier, who has steadfastly refused to assemble parliament for a showdown on his decree laws. But as the strike hour neared, the premier pre-mier remembered what another smart Frenchman, Aristide Briand, did under similar circumstances in 1910. To railroad workers and others oth-ers employed in essential utilities he sent conscription orders. Though they would strike as private citizens, citi-zens, they could not ignore a call to the colors without courting drastic dras-tic punishment. In the end, M. Jouhaux' Jou-haux' one-day strike was a failure: Immediate significance: a victory for Premier Daladier; failure for drastic French social changes such as the 40-hour week; probable success suc-cess of the cabinet's daring recovery recov-ery plan; defeat of the Popular Front; doom for Communism in western Europe. Loruj range significance: the possibility pos-sibility that Premier Daladier, swollen swol-len with confidence, may emerge a semi-Fascist dictator over his jittery jit-tery nation; the certainty that he will continue his policy of appeasing Herr Hitler. Treasury Mid-December is a regular U. S. quarterly financing date, in recent years a favorite season for predicting pre-dicting (1) how much the national debt will rise during the current fiscal year, and (2) whether federal expenditures can be expected to rise or fall during the next few months. This year, as Secretary of the Treasury Treas-ury Henry Morgenthau Jr. prepares a $1,642,000,000 financing deal, observers ob-servers may safely predict that the national debt will rise from its current cur-rent mark of $38,590,000,000, to $40,-000,000,000 $40,-000,000,000 before the fiscal year ends next June 30. But they can also detect a downward trend in U. S. expenditures, temporarily at least Although the government has spent $2 for every $1 collected since last July 1, although the fiscal year thus far shows expenditures ($3,596,-157,000) ($3,596,-157,000) slightly over the comparable compara-ble period last year and receipts ($2,204,520,000) slightly under last year's, Mr. Morgenthau says he has "ample cash" on hand without any new borrowing at the present time. During the current month, however, howev-er, he is borrowing $700,000,000 in "new money" and refinancing $941,-613,000 $941,-613,000 ia notes maturing next March 15.

In the Ukraine is enough anthracite to run German industry indefinitely, plus forests, wheat lands, Crimean oil, corn, cattle cat-tle and poultry. Also there is land, which Adolf Hitler would like for colonization purposes because the Reich is now crowded. Though he bluffed his way to victorious vic-torious peace with France over the Ruhr basin and with Czechoslovakia over Sudetenland, Hitler cannot expect ex-pect to bluff Russia out of the Ukraine. Yet he plans to follow this course so far as possible, building build-ing up political and economic unity with the rest of southwest Europe in preparation for the day of conquest con-quest Already he has safeguarded his military, economic and propaganda propa-ganda path to the southeast by refusing re-fusing to give Hungary and Poland a common border at the expense of his new vassal state, Czechoslovakia.

Mr. Roosevelt's Roose-velt's choice apparently lies between running for a third term or endorsing endors-ing some middle-grounder like Secretary Sec-retary Hull Evidence is already piling up testifying tes-tifying to the political expediency of this middle road position. Republicans, Republi-cans, who will at last make themselves them-selves heard in congress next month, are inclined to assume such an attitude rather than fight for a return to the traditional G. O. P. conservatism. In the senate, where Republicans now have 23 members, they need the support of only 26 Democrats, Farmer-Laborites, Progressives Pro-gressives or Independents to hold a majority. By catering to the middle-ground idea, the President can possibly forestall the rising tide of Republican Republi-can strength which is being built on this very platform. He can also avert a revolt in Democratic ranks, which otherwise will almost certainty certain-ty rise to the surface during next congress. A meeting of Republican and Democratic minds is already evident on curtailment of governmental govern-mental expenditures and a new policy pol-icy for administering relief. Oregon's Sen. Charles L. McNary, Republican minority leader, has announced an-nounced that "Republicans will Join with other groups" on such a program. pro-gram. One of his plans, that of turning relief administration over to bipartisan state boards, finds expression ex-pression in the bill being drafted by North Carolina's Sen. Josiah W. Bailey, Bai-ley, a Democrat. His political cohort. co-hort. Sen. Edward R. Burke of Nebraska, Ne-braska, has announced that although the Bailey proposal is a "Democratic "Demo-cratic move," Republican support will be welcomed. Business Last spring congress gave business busi-ness a chill by appropriating $500,-000 $500,-000 for a "national economic committee" com-mittee" to investigate "competition, price-levels, unemployment, profits and consumption." Headed by Wyoming's Wyo-ming's Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney, the committee's 100 statisticians, economists and investigators have spent the ensuing six months digging dig-ging out the past record of American Ameri-can business. Meanwhile business has frightened itself into believing the committee is an offshoot of the U. S. justice department's anti-monopoly drive. But true to Mr. O'Mahoney's promise, the group's two-year investigation in-vestigation has opened minus any signs of a "witch hunt" or an effort ef-fort to make business the "goat.". After spending three days introducing introduc-ing historical facts and figures to give the hearing a background, committeemen launched a quiz of patent pools in the automobile and glass industries. Observers considered consid-ered this a good sign of no witch hunting, since the custom of pooling automobile patents has certainly kept that industry from becoming a monopoly. Unless the investigation bogs down under its own tremendous size, it is expected that one of two trends will be visible within a few months. Either the hearings will point the way to continued existence of business as a private function under un-der the capitalistic system, or fears will arise that government is to take control. to De wciuaea in ine crew and felt mlrtti m '. by the foreman.
