In dedicating the huge power, flood control and irrigation dam on turbu- lent Colorado river, the president cited it as an example of useful gov- ernment work, but declared federal projects were desirable chiefly to “throw in the clutch and start the wheels. “It is a simple fact that govern- ment spending is already beginning to show definite signs of its effect on consumer spending; that the putting of people to work by the government. has put other people to work through private employment, and that in two years and a half we have come to’ the point where private industry must bear the principal responsibility of keeping the processes of greater em- ployment moving forward with accel- erated speed.” Government Credit Safe Roosevelt declared the public’ works —_————- | Estimate 37 Dead, 300 Injured After Blast Rips Through Center of Island FEAR FOR. 6,200 FISHERFOLK Tropical Terror Gathers Speed as.It Moves at 20 Miles an Hour Northeast Miami, Fla...

Mussolini Monday dispatched 12,000 more troops to aug- ment the Italian army-in East Africa. It was estimated that about 250,- 000 Italians with another quarter million native troops would be ready for the Ethiopian campaign when the dry season begins within two weeks. Emperor Haile Selassie awaited a final word from his delegation in Geneva before going ahead with mobilization plans, an advisor saying that the Italians had “crushing sur- prises coming” if they invaded the black empire. Meanwhile the French and British governments were in close consulta- tion as to what the League of Na- tions should do to prevent hostilities, while diplomats at Geneva suggested that probably nothing would be done until fighting actually broke out. Objections were voiced there to “try- ing to put out the fire before it really starts.” SHORTAGE OF MILK Strike at Midnight for Higher Prices Elgin, Ql, Sept. 30.—(?)—Dairy farmers of Illinois, Indiana and Wis- eonsin threatened Monday to cut off Chicago's milk supply Tuesday unless they get more money for their milk. LA milk “strike,” effective at mid- THREATENS CHICAGO 1,500 Illinois Milk Producers night, was called Sunday night at a meeting of 1,500 milk producers. Fred Wolfe, of Kankakee, president of the Farmers Union of Illinois and a member of the “strike” committee, predicted the movement would be supported by 15,000 farmers, inde- pendents and members of the Pure Milk association. Wolfe said he had assurance that farmers not now supplying the Chi- cago milk shed would not divert their milk supply into the market once the ban was in effect. No plans have been made for picketing highways, he said, the strike for the present being an en- tirely voluntary proposition. ‘The strikers, who chose Henry Dun- ker of Crystal Lake, as their leader, are demanding $2.50 a hundredweight | for their milk. Their present price, Wolfe said, is $1.40. Robinson Banker on Association’s Board he said, “points to the speedy decline of federal expenditures for emergency activities.” Unless the AAA’s processing taxes are knocked out by the supreme court, he the government “will not need new taxes or ed rates in existing taxes to meet the expenses of its necessary annual operations.” Spikes Gloomy Forecasts This will be true, he said, despite “erroneous and gloomy ” that “heavy increases in taxation wil be required to balance the budget and retire our public debt.” His remarks on taxation were re- garded in many quarters as a follow- up to his recent declaration that bus- iness may expect a “breathing spell.” He did not promise a balanced budget for the next fiscal year. be- July 1, 1936. That budget, he said, is being prepared with a view to “sharply Of the economic outlook, he assert- ed: Income Steadily Grows “At this date inventories are low. Industry has shown its strength against the current of seasonal slack- ness, and output and trade are ex- Panding. Capital market conditions are favorable. Crops are expected to be larger this season and to yield farmers more income than ir.: the past year.” Estimating the deficit for tris fiscal year ending June 30, 1936, would be $300,000,000 less than in the previous twelve-month, he added: “This reduction can be realized. however, only in the event that no new items of expenditure are added to the year’s program.” This was taken in some quarters as @ reference to the $2,000,000,000 sol- diers’ bonus. Revenues Sharply Increased The document estimated revenues for the present (1936) fiscal year would be $4,470,000,000. This com- Pares with $3,991,000,000 estimated in January, $3,800,000,000 collected in 1936 and $3,115,000,000 in 1934. Expenditures were set at $7,752,- 000,000, as compared with January's estimate of $8,520,000,000. Last January, the president esti- mated that on June 30, 1936, the public debt would stand at 334,239,- 000,000, as against $28,700,000,000 last, June.
