SEVEN BILLION PLAN
President Proposes Huge Spending and Loans Program
. . . Demands United Recovery Action
Because a federal statute prohibits taking of a foreign vote in the United
States or its territorial waters, the crew of the German liner Hansa voted
on the question of Austrian “anschluss” with Germany while the ship was
in mid-ocean en route to New York. Here is the scene in the public room
of the liner during the balloting. Seated is Purser Karl Zeplein, who reg¬
istered the voters. Of the crew, 330 voted “jah”; six voted “nein,” and
one vote was voided.

Lend and Spend Plan
/'CONGRESS was asked by Presi-
* dant dent Pnrvooiralf Roosevelt tn to authorize fVio the
spending and lending of a grand
total of seven billion dollars in a
special message in
which he set forth
his new program
for recovery and re¬
lief. Ignoring the
expressions of vari¬
ous leaders in oppo¬
sition to such vast
expenditures, Mr.
Roosevelt said:
“Our capacity is
limited only by our
President ability to work to¬
Roosevelt gether. What is
needed is the will.
“The time has come to bring that
will into action with every driving
force at our command. And I am
determined to do my share.”
The President declared that the
will to co-operate places “on all of
us the duty of self-restraint,” and
that “there can be no dictatorship
by an individual, or by a group in
this nation save through division
fostered by hate. Such division
there must never be.”
Three groups of measures were
proposed. The first involves main¬
ly additional appropriations for the
coming fiscal year, as follows:
One billion two hundred and fifty
million dollars for the Works Prog¬
ress administration; $175,000,000 for
the Farm Security administration;
$75,000,000 for the National Youth
administration; $50,000,000 for the
Civilian Conservation corps, and the
$1,500,000,000 already made avail¬
able to the Reconstruction Corpo¬
ration for lending to business enter¬
prises.
In a second group of measures
Mr. Roosevelt asked:
Three hundred million dollars for
immediate expansion of the housing
and slum-clearance work of the
United States Housing authority;
$1,450,000,000 for public works loans
and grants; an additional $100,000,-
000 for public roads; an additional
$37,000,000 for flood control and re¬
clamation projects already autho¬
rized and an additional $25,000,000
for federal buildings.
A third group listed by the Chief
Executive referred to private cred¬
it. It involved desterilization of
$1,400,000,000 of gold and a reduc¬
tion by the Federal Reserve board
of member bank reserve require¬
ments which would add another
$750,000,000 to the credit resources
of the nation’s banks. With these
actions Mr. Roosevelt coupled a
simplification of Security commis¬
sion regulations to expedite small-
business financing.

Congressmen Vexed
'1X7' HILE committees of the sen-
’ * ate and house were still try¬
ing to reconcile the widely differing
versions of the tax
bill passed by the
two houses, Presi¬
dent Roosevelt sent
to the chairmen a
long letter urging
retention of the tax
on undistributed
profits, which had
\een eliminated by
the senate. Many
members of con¬
gress thought the Sen. Harrison
Chief Executive
Was intimating that he would veto
the bill if this feature were omitted.
That would leave in effect the pres¬
ent law carrying a severe tax which
has been widely attacked as one of
the causes of the prevailing busi¬
ness depression.
The intervention by Mr. Roose¬
velt at this time and in this manner
was considered unprecedented and
aroused many expressions of
amazement and indignation, espe¬
cially among the senate conferees.
Senator Pat Harrison, their leader
and the chairman of the senate
finance committee, obviously dis¬
pleased, said:
“The President is entitled to his
views. Of course, he accords to
every one else the same right to
theirs.
“The views expressed in his letter
do not coincide with the sentiment
expressed by the overwhelming
majority of the senate. My views
are well known and need not be
repeated again in detail.
“The senate conferees will insist
in conference on the amendments
adopted in the senate.
“I believe that the repealing of
the undistributed profits tax and the
modifications of the capital gains
tax, as adopted by the senate, will
help business.”
At the close of his letter the Pres¬
ident said:
“The repeal of the undistributed
profits tax and the reduction of the
tax on capital gains to a fraction of
the tax on other forms of income
strike at the root of fundamental
principles of taxation.
“Business will be helped, not
hurt, by these suggestions.”
New French Government
PRANCE has a new government
1 headed by Edouard Daladier who
succeeded Leon Blum as premier
after the fall of Blum’s Popular
Front. Daladier’s
cabinet is the first
wholly nonrevolu¬
tionist one since the
leftist landslide of
1936. Not one of his
ministers is even
pink, and there are
several outright con¬
servatives. Most sig¬
nificant of his se¬
I ' lections is Georges
Georges Bonnet, former am¬
Bonnet bassador to the
United States, as
foreign minister. His choice for this
key post means synchronization of
French foreign policy with that of
Great Britain, the opening of nego¬
tiations with Mussolini and complete
abandonment of the Spanish repub¬
lic in its war with Franco’s insur¬
gents.
Blum was thrown out because ha
asked broad powers to rule by de¬
cree, but the parliament acceded
to a similar demand by Daladier,
and then adjourned until May 1,
leaving Daladier with practically
dictatorial powers to deal with the
nation’s financial and economic
problems.
The new premier started imme¬
diately on efforts to end the wave of
strikes, which were really based on
political motives. First he obtained
a settlement of the strikes in the
nationalized aviation factories, of¬
fering a pay increase in exchange
for longer hours. He then promul¬
gated by decree a law making a
secret ballot obligatory in every
factory where conflicts arise. If a
majority of the workers decide for
a strike, they must evacuate the
factory, which then would be “neu¬
tralized” pending arbitration. If,
however, the strike is rejected by
a majority, the armed forces of
the nation will be at the disposal of
the employers to keep the plant op.
erating.

Horner Is Winner
QOV. VJ second HENRY great HORNER victory won the his
over
Chicago Kelly-Nash machine in the
Illinois Democratic primaries. Al¬
most all his candidates were nom¬
inated, and the governor appears
to be now in complete control of
the party in his state. His co-boss
is State’s Attorney Thomas J.
Courtney of Chicago.
The triumph of Horner attracted
nation-wide attention. It even led
to a proposal that he be the Demo¬
cratic party for President in 1940.
This boomlet was launched in con¬
gress by Representative L. F. Ar¬
nold, Democrat, of Illinois.

Shirley Temple has put her hair

In “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm”
she has six songs, and you’d hardly

worth it; the best box office attrac¬

“Tahiti Lullaby,” which is used in
