From | every hand came the crash of failing | banks. ~For 12 years of time, and through three administrations, there | had been no attempt to ward off ap- | proaching dangers. We occupled our | time passing supply bills and raising | the tariff. We hailed our economic iso- lation as a matter of national pride We insisted upon our economic right | to sell to all the world and buy little | in return. We called attention to stock | market booms and when the collapse came we ignored existing conditions, proposed no remedies, but simply in- | sisted that prosperity was just around the corner, that brokers' loans were not too high and never had been. The | depression was only temporary. We de- nied the proposition that the civiliza- tions and cultures of different sections |of the world are more closely inter- woven than they ever had been. “But all these conditions and these | theories came abruptly to an end on the fourth day of March of this year. |In the days which have passed since then our entire national and interna- (Continued on Seventh Page.) !

Rainey said the entire presidential | program embraced in 19 bills, all of which had passed the House, but that authorizing the Executive to effect reciprocal tariffs. He forecast quick | ion on this. 1 We cannot hurry too much national | recovery,” he sald, “but it will come and it is coming.” The text of Speaker Rainey’s speech follows: “The first session of the Seventy- third Congress is approaching its close. “The economy bill, which was among the first measures passed, has been challenged by the Connally amendment to the independent offices appropria- tion bill. This amendment, in its pres- ent form, if it should be enacted into law, will mean a loss of $170,000,000' |in the economies we thought we had accomplished, and the budget will again be out of balance. I it is adopted by the House and becomes & {law it will be necessary for Congress to remain in session and by new taxes meet the deficit this amendment will create. It is hardly possible, however, that the President will willingly per- mit this very large amount of money to be lost from his economy program, and, while T have no authority from the President to make the statement. I have no doubt whatever that the bill will be vetoed if the Connally amend- ment in its present form remains in the bill, and I do not think the bill will pass over the veto of the Presi- dent. We are anxious, however, to avoid this situation, and the Demo- cratic Steering Committee of the House is now at work on the proposition. New Regulations in Effect. “Today the new regulations were is- | sued by the President. They have to| do with ‘the compensation_allowances | for the veterans of the World War! and the Spanish-American War. The executive order was signed this lfl.enl noon, and the new regulations are now in effect. The regulations were made possible by the President’s original di- rection that the tentative regulations heretofore suggested be carefully re- viewed and amended. Some of the cuts in compensation of service-con- nected veterans were deeper than were intended, and today it seems that new taxes may be avolded, and that the movement upward of prices may not be interfered with by large additional taxes. “The new regulations are more lib- eral even than the Connally amend- ment. Under them no directly service- connected veteran will be reduced in his compensation by more than 25 per cent, and the average reductions will approximate 18 per cent, and this reg- ulation applies to Spanish-American War veterans, World War veterans and peace-time veterans who have incurred, a disability while with an expedition-| ary force engaged in a campaign or expedition, such as Nicaragua, China, Russia or Haiti. Under this regulation service - connected Spanish - American ‘War veterans, and some even of the peace-time veterans, will receive pay- ments very substantially in excess of those which they were receiving prior to the passage of the economy act. Some Allowances Increased. “I might suggest that with reference to World War veterans, under the new regulations promulgated today by the President, those who are suffering from injuries and are receiving $150 per month for the loss of both hands or both feet, or one hand and one foot, or in any case where the veteran is so helpless as to require the aid of an- other, and in the case of the more se- verely injured, the President’s new reg- ulations increase the allowance under existing law from $150 per month to $175. “Spanish - American War veterans who are over 62 years of age, and who served 90 days or more, even if their disabilities are not service connected, are increased from $6 to $15 per month, and in the case of either World War or Spanish-American War veter- ans, those who are permanently and totally disabled have their compensa- tion increased from $20 to $30 per month. “Burial and funeral expenses are also liberalized under the new regulations. “Pensions continue to be paid to children of deceased veterans up to the age of 18 years and, in the event of a child being in an approved school or college, the pension may continue for an additional period until the comple- tion of the course, but not beyond the age of 21 years. “The regulations also contain a pro- vision exempting from the prohibition against payment of pensions to Federal employes, the widows of deceased vet- erans and those veterans whose pay is $50 per month or less. “Under the regulations today pro- mulgated the reasons for the Connally amendment, which appealed to those who are supporting it, are largely elim- inated, and it is to be hoped that such action can now be taken in conference as will make unnecessary additional large amounts of taxes. Nation Is Obligated. “The Nation is obligated to take care of its disabled veterans whose disabili- ties can be traced to the service. The obligation does not exist as to those who are suffering with non-service con- nected disabilities. Members are today being deluged with telegrams urging members to support the President’s program and with telegrams urging them to support the Connally amend- ment. The Connally amendment is not a part of the President’s program, and is not recognized as such, but it is to be hoped that the proponents of the so-called Connally amendment will be: willing now to agree to continue their support of the President’s program in the future as they have in the past, especially in view of the regulations which have today been promulgated. “Congress has been in session now for only three months of time, but during that p_.iod of time a most re- markable and astounding program of legislation has been either enacted into law or is in process of enaciment and soon will be enacted. “Nineteen bills are embraced in the President’s program. Every one of said it was hoped to adjust differences | of in an equal period of time. The President and the Congress have worked harmoniously. Party lines have been to & large extent obliterated. Con- gress will remain in session until this pr m of legislation is completed. Iready the effects of it are being felt. The huge machine we are build- tion, and the result is an increase in prices of commodities, a very percep- tible decrease in unemployment, and there are no longer any hunger marches on the National Capital. Or- a land. The last veterans’ march on the Capital completely disintegrated when the veterans, assembled here in a camp just south of Washington, ac- cepted employment in the forest army. Factories are opening. On our mar- kets stocks which have a real value are increasing in price and hope is returning to the people of the United will have its favorable reaction throughout the entire world. Much Legislation Enacted. “We have already and en-| acted into law the emergency banking and gold control bill, the bill for the | legalization of beer, the economy bill— | which soon will have the effect of bal- | ancing the budget—the bill providing | for the forest armies, the bill provid-| ing for the regulation of Muscle Shoals and the Tennessee Valley development. and the Muscle Shoals development has been rescued completely from the | water power trust. We passed the bill providing half a billion dollars for di- rect relief, and we passed the farm lief bill and the inflation act. The Glass- Steagall banking bill is nearing disposal. | The independent offices appropriation and economy bill will be in conference in & day or two, and in that conference we hope veterans' compensation mat- ters will be worked out so as to avoid | & presidential veto, but if the veto is not sustained. there must be another large oppressive taxing bill. The bill | providing for the extension of gasoline | taxing measures, postage reduction and the transfer of the electric tax from‘ the householder to tir: companies is| in conference and will soon be en- | acted into law. The Reconstruction | Finance Insurance Corporation bill will | soon be signed by the President and | will become a law. The bill cancelling | the gold clause in existing contracts | will soon be enacted into law. The| rallroad reorganization bill has passed both Houses. The public Works, in- dustrial control tax measure has been passed by the House and will soon be enacted into law. The home mortgage bill has been passed by the House and | will soon become a law, and the meas- | ure providing for a regulation of the ofl industry can be expected to pass| within the next few days. We have | also passed a bill protecting the public | against fraudulent sales of securities. ; “Any two of these measures would B N e = Don't miss A Century of Progress!
