M4 RICHBERG DECLARES NEW DEAL SPENDING | AVERTED DISASTER) | >’ Assails Critics of Administra- tion Expenditures as Short-Sighted Chicago, Oct. 9.—(F)—Donald R. Richberg said Tuesday that if the government yielded to “destructive po- litical clamors” for immediate bal- ancing of the budget the country would plunge into “national disaster.” Declaring New Deal expenditures ‘and measures have saved the nation from “revolution,” President Roose- velt’s chief policy adviser also struck at “dodo-economists” for attacks on NRA, In a speech prepared for delivery before the Rotary club, he discussed campaign issues. He set 8 boost in employment as a goal of NRA and gave new assurance to business that no hasty, blanket changes are planned in that recovery unit. The budget should be balanced at the “earliest possible moment,” Rich- @rastic slashing of expenditures and immediate balancing, in the face of| jo, <felief needs “are the product either of ‘gross ignorance or the greatest form of Political demagoguism.” Burden Will Be Less “Thanks to the constructive meas- ures which have helped to revive pri- vate business,” he said, “the burden of federal relief this winter, despite an unpredecented load of drouth relief, should be far less than last winter. “But who is the man who dares to stand before the American people and declare that we should not have saved millions of people from destitu- tion, suffering and actual starvation last winter, and that in the face of this demand for help we should have aw and balanced the bud- eet’ “Communists cannot produce a rev- olution in this country, but a blind, reactionary, inhumane government could breed a revolt in 30 days by adopting such a program.” Touching on monetary policy, he said the Roosevelt dollar “by all tests of stable purchasing power should be regarded as exceptionally sound.” another intersection accident.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1934 Nien by Frederic J.Haskin A Condensed Chapter Irom the Author! Mow Boot! seeneeeeereneene Washington, D. C., Oct. 9.—Total disbursements for the relief of war veterans, from the beginning of the Republic, as reported by the head of that branch of the government which handles this work, have reached the stupendous sum of approximately $16,787,000,000, more than half the amount of the present debt of the federal government. This does not take into account the pensions and other relief extended by the states, but is a measure of the generosity of the American people in rewarding and caring for those ‘who took part in the various wars in which United States has been involved. These expenditures are continuing at the rate of about $70,000,000 a year, with a possibility that a peak of $1,900,000,000 will be reached eventu- ally, if World War veterans are treated as liberally as veterans of other wars have been treated. The World War broke many records. More changes were made in governments and in the map‘of the world thin ever before in -a corres- Ronding period of time.

In addition to compensa- marriage | tions and pensions, these laws include benefits in the form of government in- surance, adjusted compensation, emer- gency officers’ retirement pay for World war veterans, and hospital and domiciliary care for veterans of all wars. Regional offices, or combined regional offices and hospitals, are lo- cated in every state, except Delaware, to facilitate the granting of benefits Provided for veterans. The adminis- tration maintains and operates 17 facilities for hospital or domiciliary’ care. ‘The wards of this administration are the mental and physical victims of ham Lincoln to give us our first real interpretation of the federal constitu- tion as specifically stated in the pre- amble to that constitution.
