First, he proposes the Housing Authority be given about three hundred million for slum clearance projects; second a public works program of around a billion; third, a highways; fourth, an additional hundred million for thirty-seven million dollars for flood control, d, fifth, twenty-five million additional for Federa buildings in various parts of the country The program speaks for itself as a means toward a definite end, but the point the President made in explaining why he is advecating such a program at this time is worthy of some serious thought by most of us “In recommending this prc 1 thinkin not only of the immediate economic needs of the, people of the nation,” the President said, “but also of their personal liberties—the most precious posses- sion of all Americ I am thinking of our ow democracy and of the recent trend in other parts of the world away from the democratic ideal “Democracy has disappeared in several other great nations—not because the people of those nation. dislike democracy, but because they of the unemployment and insecurity, of the:: children hungry while they sat helpless in the fac of government confusion, government weakness. through lack of leadership in government “Finally, in desperation, they chose sacrifice liberty In the hope of getting something to eat.

The people of America are in agreempent in defending their liberties at any cost and the first line of defense in the protection of economic security. Your government king to pro- tect democracy, must prove that government stronger than the forces of business depression.” d grown tired seeing to d made to work It may seem impossible or at best remote to most of us, but there is such a thing as “sacrificing liberty in the hope of getting something to eat.” Evidence can be found of it in other countries where unemploy- ment reached a point where the victims were to follow any e if it meant and their depend Np one us wants condition to arise this where women trade their personal liberties for food we as a nation master that problem of ity for every one there is always the danger.

Muir was born in Scotland just 100 years 1go tomorrow and died in Los Angeles in 1914, after a ife's work which ranked him among the most noted »f the world's nature lovers and students. is The Naturalist came north for his first explora- jons in 18 ). At that time he touched mosi f the glacial area this vicinity and finally went n to re he mapped, among other ields, the huge glacier there which now bears hi: \ame.

Five “huzzahs” would be a desirable substitute for five guns, and so on up the list. It would be easier both upon the ears and the tax- payers' pocketbooks No Railroad Subsidy (New York World-Telegra m) President Roosevelt stood on firm ground yester day when he opposed government subsidies to th railroads The subsidy proposal, as put up to the President at his conference with representadves of railroad management and labor, has not been very thoroughly explained. But its essence seems to have been some- thing like this The government would guarantee to pay the roads the difference between their earnings and some figure agreed upon as a fair rate of income. maintain employment and wage rates, and start buying neecded equipment. That would stimu- late the heavy industries, which in turn would give the railroads more business, incr ing their eain the subsidies amount of government and decreasing required It m pump-primi the past and certa hod of tried in ve trouble, employees have been as defensible a me s some of the New Deal has crtainly the railroads are in g aly it desirable that their should be kept at work at good wages Mr. Roosevelt is right.
