FACKLER Government planning to make both | mors ends meet is continuing to go awry. | Not only did the 1935-36 budget fail by $4,764,000,000. to balance as was planned, but according to revised esti- mates, the 1936- 1937 budget will still be short by at least $2,000,000,- | i 000. Moreover, these latest fig- ures give addi- | cor tional evidence of the advanc-| by ing level of controllable ex- penditures and of the fact that little effort is being made to stop their upward movement. For those citizens, therefore, who have entertained some hope that in expending the public’s money, the Federal Government would not throw the rope after the bucket, this recent budgetary revision must come as a distinct shock. On the surface, estimated total ex- penditures for 1936-37 of $7,763,- 000,000 are about $1,117,000,U00 less than for 1935-36, when reported ex- penditures amounted in total to $8,- These words ought to mean something | 830,000,000 to the parents of this community and i should impress upon every one of them the H importance of their jobs in the raising of boys and girls into good men and women. They should likewise mean much to those citizens in every section whose interest in welfare work for young people has some- times been dulled by the unappreciative attitude of the people generally. COUGHLIN BECOMES ABSURD Some weeks ago Charles E. Coughlin, the Detroit priest, startled some Amer- icans by referring to the President of the He continued this line of attack recently by statements indicating his opinion that Mr. Roosevelt was “anti-God” and advocated the use of bullets “when an upstart dictator in the United States succeeds in making a_ one- party government and when the ballot is “useless.” For these remarks he has been severe- ly criticised by some of the officials of the Catholic church who join the general pub- lic in condemning the demagogic, slander- ous references to a man whose faults may be many but are not those ascribed by Coughlin. We think the radio priest was shooting off his mouth in his suggestion of bullets but incline to believe that his ha- tred of the President puts phrases into his mouth on the stump that he would not be; inclined to utter in the church. The attempt to stir up religious ha- being “anti-God” is indeed serious and reprehensible. To begin with, few sen- sible people will believe the charge, and But, after one adjusts these figures so as to calculate the expenditures over which the Administration pre- sumably exercises some measure of control, the picture changes abrupt- ly. To do this, it is necessary to sub- tract from these totals the outlays for debt retirement and for the vet- erans’ bonus. After this has been done, one is obliged to add the re- turned capital also spent or to be spent. With these changes, estimated ex- penditures for 1936-37 become $7,- 243,000,000, or about $169,000,000 6 generates EEE | DAYS ONE DY DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years!

We are not so sure that we under- stand the intricacies of international ex- change but the fluctuations and uncer- tainties of relative values has been one impediment to the revival of world trade, upon which, ultimately, depends the pros- perity of all nations. Moreover, as nations joined in the battle of currencies they set up arbitrary restrictions on commerce in order to gain advantage in the financial battle. These, it is indicated, will be, gradually removed. That the French move was made only upon assurances of support from Great Britain and the United States and the ready cooperation of these nations to as- sist the republic in her crisis argues a bet- ter day ahead. The three great demo- cracies, uniting for monetary protection, give the world an inkling of what the future may hold. Moreover, with their combined resources to protect the new ‘ratios they adequately discourage any other power from trying to secure selfish | advantage from the situation, easterly winds and partly seattered showers, s “WEATHER CONDITIONS this morning over western Arkan-j sas and on the Texas coast, Ft.‘ Smith, Ark., 29.90 inches. and!
