EDITORIAL
THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT DEBT INCREASE
“All over the nation, in every county, town and ham-
let, in every great city, in the quiet of the countryside,
permanent improvements have been made through the
program of Federal aid to provide employment that other-
wise would have been impossible,” said Senator Alben W.
Barkley in a radio address last week, “It is true that this
great program cost billions and has increased the nation-
al debt.
“Hoover increased the debt from sixteen billions to
twenty-three billions in four years and did not leave a
trace of benefits in any community in America. Roosevelt
has increased the debt from twenty-three billions to
thirty- eight billions but ten billions will be repaid and is
now being repaid by the countless industries who have
borrowed it and by countless communities which have
taken advantage of opportunities never before afforded
to enjoy needed improvements. The net increase of the
debt of the United States Treasury, therefore, brought
about by this administration, amounts to but little more
than five billion dollars but during these five years we
have doubled the income of agriculture. We have added
twenty billion dollars a years to the net income of the
American people. The net increase in the National debt
can be paid today with one-fourth of the net increase in
the income of the American people in the year 1937.
“When we consider whether a Nation is headed to-
ward bankruptcy—as asserted by those who have no
faith in America—we do not take into account merely an
increase in a government debt; we must take into account
the increase or decrease of all debts, public and private,
home debts, railroad debts, industrial debts, municipal
debts, and county debts, state debts and individual debts.
While it is true that the net debt of the United States
Government has increased by five billion dollars, the net
aggregate debt of the American people, public and private,
has actually decreased since the inauguration of Franklin
D. Roosevelt and the government program he had the vi-
sion and the courage to set in motion.”
70 PER CENT CAN'T BE WRONG
Practically every newspaper in the country using the
most widely advertised system. of recording public senti-
ment is conservative Republican.
Notices sent out by these newspapers was based on
the question “What is your explanation of the cause of the
present depression?” Naturally there was evident expecta-
tion that the concensus of replies would be highly critical
of the Roosevelt administration.
But the resylt was far different. The poll showed that
while an average of three votes out of every ten blame
President Roosevelt “or some phase of the New Deal pol-
icy,” yet seven persons out of ten blamed the depression
“on something besides the New Deal.”
The 70 per cent were said to have singled out busi-
ness, natural economic trends, bad distribution of income
~in that order--and other causes and combination of
causes,
The significance of these facts is that while previous
business depressions have shriveled the prestige of Presi-
dents and turned their administrations out of power,
President Roosevelt has managed to finish the recent term
of Congress in firm control of his party. And it further
discloses that the President still “held” a majority of 54.4
per cent of all the voters.
RATHER LATE IN THINKING ABOUT IT
“The great chance for the Republican party,” says
Col. Frank Knox, is the opportunity to become the party
of the small business man, the party of the men and
women who want to work, the party of the farmer.”
And when did Col. Knox first get this idea? What will
he do about it? What did he propose to do about it when
he ran in 1936?
“STOP SQUAWKING!™
A large Chicago department store advertising a plea
to the public to end the economic slump by intelligent,
optimistic action and urges people to “stop squawking like
an infant.”
It may be a little free advertising for Henry C. Lytton
& Sons, but it is worth the space if some of our readers
can catch the optimism and the faith that these words
express:
Congress has adjourned. We all know that every
member has tried to do his best according to his own be.
liefs. While some of us might not be satisfied with the
legislation that has been enacted, let us remember that
nothing is perfect. Let us remember, too, that most of
our business and governmental leadership is right—in
its ideals.
“Let us stop ‘squawking’ about the small part which
is wrong—in the faith that we will eventually arrive at
the happy state of a social system that will bring about
the greatest good for all.”
The idea is not bad and the appeal is timely. Ameri.
cans should be optimistic and expect the ultimate triumph
of truth and righteousness. To bring it to pass, they
should be willing always to adjust their social, economic
and political affairs in the interest of justice. To protect
and defend the existing order, when convinced that evil
exists, is to perpetuate wrong and invite disaster.
REPUBLICAN SCORES OWN PARTY
Charging that the Republican party in his State “is not
run by its state committee or state chairman but by a
little group of wilful money barons,” Charles W. Carroll,
leader of the “Republican Crusaders” and recent head of
the Young Republicans of Pennsylvania, declared in a ra-
dio address last week: “I have plenty of proof.
“This little band of money men in this State and Na-
tion have deliberately ignored the law and taken away
party control from the committee to whom it was legally
delegated. During the last Presidential campaign National
Chairman John D. Hamilton entered into signed agree.
ment with Jay Cooke, chairman of the Pennsylvania Fi.
nance Committee, in which, for a consideration of Cooke's
turning over to the national committee half of the money
collected in Pennsylvania, Hamilton deliberately assigned
the authority for conducting the Pennsylvania campaign
over to Jay Cooke, Joe Grundy, Joe Pew, Ernest Weir and
Howard Heinz.”
These “money lords,” Carroll asserted, had “complete
authority over the activities of the Republican party in
this State” and he asked: “Why prattle about "Roosevelt
dictatorship’ or fool around with ‘fears of Fascism? There
it is, the seed of dictatorship is sown ip your own party,
There you have the Republican money barons violating
the rules of their own party and flounting the laws of
Pennsylvania, while they rant about the New Deal ‘deny.
ing our theory of representative American democracy’.”
“CREDIT BEING RUINED"
The other day in Washington Uncle Sam hauled
battered and maimed credit up on the block in the effort
to raise $25,000,000 worth of RFC 2 percent notes on its
subsidiary, the First National Mortgage Corporation. But
strange to say the offer brought forth immediate sub-
scriptions of $1,396,000,000. So in spite of his impending
bankruptcy, Uncle Sam's offer was oversubscribed 52
times plus. It is a shame how Roosevelt is ‘ruining our
credit.’

LIVES CAN BE PROLONGED
The heart is 8 muscular organ
which in some places is thick and
strong. It is supplied by two cor.
onary arteries that branch off from
the main arery of the body, the
Aorta. There are four chambers in
the heart which we call the auricies
and the ventricles They are sp-
arated by valves which work perfeci-
ly uniess injured by disease. The
infectious diseases of childhood
sometimes produce an inflammation
in these valves which causes them to
retract and close imperfectly. The
rear of the skillful physician quickly
detects the sound which indicates
valvular disease. It waz onte re-
garded as a far more serious afflic-
tion than it is today. A person suf-
fering from this cause can hope ©
ive out his natural life if he does
not subject himself! to sudden of
prolonged strains, and regulates his
habits in a sensible and normal
manner,
The writer has known neurotics
who were afraid (0 take Deoessary
exercise because they had been told
that the valves in their hearts did
not ciose properly. They allowed
their minds to become completely
dominated by the fear thought, until
they made invalids of themselves
‘Such people need assurance and
i guidance. They should be told that
moderate and systematic exercises
will strengthen the heart, along with
the rest of the body.
In youth the arteries are resilient
and elastic. As time goes on they
have a tendency to harden. A noi-
led French savant sald that “a man
| is no older than his arteries.” After
forty the process of hardening pro-
joeeds in gome cases very slowly, In
other individuals it is very rapid. As
about the room three times as much
oxygen is consumed as when at res!
ct walking or running, ihe
t of oxvegen is consumed as
In fact walking or
the amount of oxygen
twelve or fifteen times
That means that rapid or wvicleni
exercise causes the heart to work
twelve or fifteen times as rapidly
as it does when resting. A man of
the writer's acquaintance seemed 10
be in fairly good health He was
only fifty five years old and carrying
on a lucrative business which he en-
joved. He found himself getting ont
of breath on slight exertion and went
to his doctor for a check up. The
physician discovered he had a slight
derangement of his heart. He was
twenty pounds overweight. The
doctor advised him to cut down On
his eating. especially sweets and
starches and take life alt a more
kisurely stride. He ordered him
to lie down {or an hour every day
and especially advised him against
worry. The patient carried out the
physicians orders and was improv-
ing. One day he thoughtiessly man
half a block to catch a train. He
did not live to become an invalid for
his weakened heart suddenly dilated
and the man died. If he had taken
his doctor's advice and lived tem-
perately, he could have exercised
very moderately and perhaps lived
to carry on for a good mANy years
longer. But he put a very sudde
strain on an already weak oigan and
it proved unequal to the task
