So, therefore, I must write that I have found nobody who has been able to tell me where we are going. I listened to Mr. Roosevelt's radio speech and read his message to con- gress about the $3,012,000,000 which he proposes to spend to stop the depression; I talked with officials of the Treasury and members of the federal reserve board of governors or the “active again, and I have looked into the program by the Reconstruction Fi- merce and industry. There is so much activity about it, among the executive departments, that it seems something must come of it. is activity at the capitol, too, but it question whether all of this spending will do any good. The one tangible thing evident around the capitol is that perhaps 40 per cent of the representatives and senators have been left rather cold by the idea of a great new spending program. Somehow, they look back on the previous pump priming operations and they tell me that the pump was primed by a total of about eight billion dollars without causing the water to flow freely as a good, streamlined New These tee consideration of the various phases of the new program by which the President expects to bring back prosperity—or, at least, by which he hopes to check the depression.

It is come just when congressional elec- Of course, there to say that retention of house or counties or businesses that We must for- Now, obviously, being one who is L on, what the plans will It are if it is planned Work Now? that way, I should wait and see what will come out of the pump this time. But I am impatient. I am rather cynical, too. Whenever these things have failed to work once, I natural- ly have to be shown why they failed once and will work the second or the third or the fourth time they are tried. Around many of the New Deal propaganda bureaus, however, I have been assured that the vast spending plan will work this time. Indeed, it was intimated to me that I was rather stupid, just plain dumb, because 1 failed to understand. Really, the assurances given me by the press agents has had much more conviction than Mr. Roosevelt's speech. One reader of my column wrote in the other day to inquire whether I believed all of this spending meant we are headed into inflation. At the moment, I am not much alarmed about that. All of the makings for a fine inflationary period are avail- able. I mean that if congress were to be stampeded by the confusion that I have mentioned, there could be a regular flood of printing-press money. Congress, however, is not going to be stampeded. The senti- ment is too evenly divided for and against the idea of spending our way back to prosperity. There are individuals in congress who actu- ally think that the public debt of the nation is already too large. They think really that the new spending ought to be limited just to caring for the distressed unem- ployed. Of all things, they would less. that money were to be used for feeding and clothing people. there are a goodly number of per- sons at the capitol who have low- ered themselves to the level of play- ing politics.

You will remember Roosevelt said he had urged enact only four laws That is, One of these is the bill, as described by the Presi- dent, “to put a floor under wages and a ceiling over the hours of labor." All that legislation would do, of course, is bankrupt businesses here and there. But those can't be success- anyway.

I am told in this connection that the tax rates must go higher next year. There is going to be a much larger deficit in the Treasury than was anticipated in January when I wrote in these columns how the budget was going to be bal- anced next year under plans out- lined by the President. Something slipped in those Now, they don't know at the Treasury when the budget can be balanced. Sure- ly, not next year, because here is something more than three billions to be spent out of next year's money supplies that had not been counted on. This hateful depression is caus- ing so much trouble! I hope 1 have not made this Washington situation appear too mixed up. The circumstance has plans tried to say. There has been a story, a rumor, in circulation in Washington about a tiff between Mr. Roosevelt and Vice President Garner. Not that I believe in recording mere rumor, but more because of a sentence that was re- portedly used by Mr. Garner, I want to write about it. The Vice Presi- dent is a lovable soul, kind and ami- able. He has a number of Texas expressions that appeal to me be- cause they say so much in so few words, Garner and a group of congression- the President. They were talking about the depression, or maybe the recession. What to do about it; how to meet it, and what the causes were. The President, it seems, has been sold the idea of this spending program as an aid to business, a priming of the pump. Rumor has it that Mr. Garner was asked what he thought could be done. His re- ply, a typical Garner answer, was: “Why don’t you let the cattle put on some fat, Chief.” : es » The President was quite displeased with the idea con- veyed, an idea that the govern- ment quit President Displeased or confirmation from Mr. Garner. He has been so silent about the thing that it is positively thunder. ous. As I said, I know of it only as rumor, but I do know that Mr. Gar- ner's silence has convinced thou sands of persons that there is some basis in fact for the report. In any event, the astute Vice President, if he made the remark, certainly said “a mouf full.” So, Mr. Editor, if you are still with me, let me say that the new spending program is going to be no more successful in restoring the country to prosperity than the earli- er attempts. The nation can spend $450,000,000 in constructing new pub- lic buildings.

I remember once saying that you could get more thrills just by sticking around your own home town than you could by signing up with Admiral Byrd for one of his exploring trips to the South pole. : And now, here comes John Standmann of the Bronx to tell me I was right about that South pole business. Admiral Byrd went down into the Antarctic to study the ice age, but Jack Standmann stayed home and studied another ice age-—in the Bronx. The Admiral loaded up a boat, signed on a crew, and sailed away toward the South pote, but Jack just put on his coat and a pair of gloves and, in ten minutes, found a spot that was just as cold as anything the Byrd expedition was able to dig up in a year's stay way down there at the bottom of the world. It was in June, 1932, which is a doggone strange time for a man to go Arctic adventuring in the Bronx factory and that more or less Jack was working in an ice-cream explains everything The plant was a new one, and a lot of new-fangled machinery had been installed in it. One of the machines was the big steel conveyor that carried packaged ice-cream into the freezing chamber. That machine was the special bane of Jack's existence. The freezing chamber was a long tunnel where the temperature ran around forty below zero used to gather in there and turn into ice. During a week's time, enough of it used 80 that there was danger of it stopping the machinery. Then, Jack found himself facing a job he didn't like very well. * x - Moisture coliect Working in Forty Below Zero. The job was to crawl inside the freezing tunnel and hack and chip out all the ice. It was a chore that took every bit of two hours, but it had to be done a little at a time, for no man could stand that 40 below zero temperature for more than 20 minutes at a stretch. It couldn't be done Jack Was Pulled Out of the Freezing Tunnel. while the plant was operating t had to be done after closing result was that Jack had 4 On this i st of the particular da g overtime it slipped his hands into 30 feet along the belt conveyor into that ufd, but he had reezing tunnel been in there only y stiff that he ¢ fast as he ct hour when his cl about a $ a 4 re 3 avd 1s thes wer uld hardly and his gloves were so hard and brittle he could scarcely use his hands.

It was cold enough in that tunnel, but Jack suddenly went colder knew all too well the meaning of that slamming door. was just inside it. The watct not realizing that anybody was in there, had turned out the. lights and locked the tunnel door. Even with the door open, Jack couldn't have groped his way out of the tunnel along the perplexing maze of conveyor belts. He had been abandoned in that freezing hole—to die. Jack started to yell—he yelled until he was hoarse. But it was like yelling in a vacuum. The walls of the tunnel were insulated and sound proof. He began to crawl along the tunnel, his clothes freezing to the steel at every foot of the way. His gloves were as stiff as boards. The cold was penetrating to the very marrow of his bones. Pretty soon he would begin to get sleepy—and then— Nearly Crazed With Horror. It wasn't a pleasant subject, but Jack couldn't help thinking about it. Would they find him dead in the morning?
