5 THE DAILY “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” PRESIDENT-E RIGID ECONOMY MAJORITY FOR IS ROOSEVELT'S PROMISETOUSS. Becomes 32nd President of| U. S. Committed by Party Platform By KIRKE SIMPSON’ WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—Frank- lin Delano Roosevelt will enter the White House as 32nd President next March, committed by party platform and personal pledge to @ program of wide retrenchment in the cost of Federal government to taxpayers. Constantly reiterated, that pledge has been a major theme of the economic discussion which mark- ed his victorious campaign. Re- | peatedly the president-elect has promised an effort to slash ordin- ary expenses of government by 25 per cent. ‘What that goal will amount to in dollars and cents will depend upon what happens to annual ap- propriations, in Congress which convenes in De- cember to provide funds for the next fiscal year. Throughout his nation-wide campaigning ,however Mr. Roosevelt nsisted that a pro- gram of drastic retrenchment sufficient to reach a balanced budget was the essential step toward economic recovery. This was the foundation stone of every auxiliary proposal he made for restoring trade at home er with other countries, for curing unemployment and for aiding far recovery. It was even the basis ior his insistence upon repeal of the 18th amendment and early modification of the Volsted act. Mr. Roosevelt, during his campaign, made one definite pledge _toward carrying out this fundamental step that went beyong the four corners of the Democratic platform. No man would be seated at his C.abinet table, he promised, who had not pledged himself to loyal co-operation with the retrenchment policy. In the course of his swing through the country on the most| far-ranging campaign tour of any man elected to the Presidency in years, Mr. Roosevelt filled in the outline of his purposes as Presi- dent with detailed proposals as to many matters. Pledges a New Deal They constituted the blue-print of the “new deal” to which he pledged himself, in his speech to the Chicago convention accepting the Presidential nomination. A nine-point program of reme- dies designed to prevent recurrence »f the economic crash marked Mr. Roosevelt’s first major address of he campaign, delivered at Colum- »us, Ohio, in August. This program called for rigid crutiny and control by the Fed- ral government of securities bas- d on interstate commerce, and restriction of the use of reserve vank funds in speculative opera- .ions. As a principle of executive policy he pledged himself to avoid zven implied government approval of private loans abroad. An eight point program for con- ‘rol of public utilities supplement- ed this general outline during Mr. Roosevelt’s western tour. This program included pub- licity for security issues, capi- tal investment and indebted- ness, ownership of stocks and bonds, and intercompany con- tracts; regulation of holding companies by the Federal Power commission; criminal statutes to cover false repre- sentations, and substitution of the “prudent investment” for the “reproduction” cost theory in rate making. A seven-point program for rail- sads, including extension of inter- tate commerce commission au- thority to buses and trucks, also +-as unfolded during that tour. Mr. noosevelt described it in brief as cesigned “to avoid financial ex- (asses, adjust plant to traffic, co- crdinate all carrier services, pro- :20t the worker and above all, srve the public reasonably, swift- iy and well.” Has Farm Aid Plan "SECOND SECTION—PAGES 9 to 12 the session of! JUNEAU, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY Conceded Soon After | (By Associated Press) | Knifing deeply into the tradi- tionally Republican Territory, Gov. Franklin D.
