congress his request for the new National appropriations 8 u d e nts are more and wondering more when the end of this government It will be repending is to come membered that Mr Roosevelt said a year ago that the total public debt should not exceed and that that figure should be reached around June 30 1035 When It Is considered that the present debt public exceeds $28500000000 It becomes difficult to understand how the President will succeed In sticking to his original assertion to hold the national debt at the figure named The Treasury department has Just released Its annual report and this reveals an Increase In the public debt of approximately six billion dollars since Jane 30 1933 an eighteen months’ record It has made the total cost of the recovery spending program aggregate over twelve billion dollars eomethlng since January 1 1931 when the spendTo make the ing spree really began vast amount more readily comprehensible If you take the time to figure find It out you will that the government has been spending borrowed money at the rate of almost thousand dollars a minute In the last four years To Illustrate further the magnitude of this sum a figure pert here has calculated that there has been about one billion minutes since the birth of Christ and therefore the federal government In the last four years has added about twelve dollars to the public debt for each of the minutes since Christ came on earth But to get back to the present plan presentation of the budget with Its maximum outlay of around seven on dollars recalled to some leaders the assertion by the President respecting the topmost limit for the public debt In the budget message which he presented Just a year ago Mr Roosevelt boldly stated his belief that “the government should seek to hold the public debt" to the figure of clal he added “the goduring the balance of this year should plan to bring Its 3936 expenditures Including recovery and relief within the revenues expected In the fiscal year 1936” The fiscal year 1930 begins next July 1 And from the frequent pronouncements White House have made It clear that a balanced budget In that time Is quite the treasury unlikely In addition said In Its annual report that taxes always lagged behind In reflecting reFor example covery of the country Income taxes to be paid on March 15 1930 and In the subsequent Installments of that year will be the result of levies on earnings of the current calendar year Np one expects earnIt ings In 1935 to he hfrrmal vious therefore that the balancing of the budget In the fiscal year begi1935 becomes almost a nning July 1 physical Impossibility unless the President should do the unexpected by cutting off every one of the sixty five or more recovery and relief agencies and should cut off all federal funds If that for relief of the destitute were done It Is estimated by fiscal perts that ordinary receipts by the come close to meeting treasury would the ordinary cost of the regularly established governmental agencies ’Furthermore” vernment calendar by There had avid New been frequent contentions Dealers that Mr Roosevelt's second budget President’s recomm endatlon a clear

Looking back over the whole Roosevelt period the thing which observers have never boon able adequately to explain 1b who or what effected the change In the President's views on fundamental financial questions It Is to precipitate an argutoo obvious views have ment that the President's changed When one goes back to his or beyond to congress first message that to his campaign speeches and the platform upon which he made theto race atfor the Presidency It is futile tempt to reconcile those utterances with the subsequent spending and borrowing program In which his admlnls-tratlon has Indulged It will be redeclared In called that Mr Roosevelt his Inaugural speech an Intention to balance the budget and wipe out the his on deficit left lap by the Hoover administration lie went on to ay that If congress In It generosity voted sums that placed the budget out of balance It was under the necessity at the same time to provide taxes to raise the excess expenditures Since there can be no dispute that views have changed Mr Roosevelt's snd he has acted In accordance with the his new found principles reing thing Is who brought about the vision of views on the part of the President's

President’s friends I have heard private expressions that Mr Roosevelt had been misled by some of the group who held his ear at the start of the administration These men referred to a number of the Progressive Republicans like the LaFollettes Norris lllram Johnson of CaUfornla and Bronson Cutting of New Mexico Several of these were so well liked by the President that they were Invited to enter his cabinet there are those who beConsequently lieve that Mr Roosevelt followed the advice of the Progressive Republican group much more closely than leaders among the old time Democrats Most are of the Progressive Republicans spenders at heart according to the general view here And they are also men who regard a balanced budget as So while no one not very Important can say definitely what Influences altered the President’s stand It certainly is regarded among observers here as being a situation In which the wind makes the straws point toward the progressives as having Joined hands with
