FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1939 _________ am* WASHINGTON’S ADVICE An excerpt from the Farewell Address of George Washing- ton to the American people on Sept. 17, 1776. Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence, I conjure to believe me," fellow citizens, the jealousy of a free people you ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government. But that jealously to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very in­ fluence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it*# Exces­ sive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another, cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become suspected and odious; while its tools and dupes vusurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests. IT TAKES BACKBONE TO ECONOMIZE It takes courage for a public man to preach economy at a time when the nation seems to have blinded itself to the ruin that must eventually result from continued spending beyond our means to pay. And it also takes courage to look facts in the face—Jwhen they are unpleasant. v . Those congressmen who are now working—quietly but ef­ fectively for the, most part—*in an effort to find ways and means of cutting costs, deserve the nation’s gratitude. For the worst phase of the whole gigantic problem is the attitude of defeatism the majority of officials seem to have adopted toward govern­ ment finance. In effect, they say— “ Spending will lead to bank­ ruptcy if long enough continued, but we can’t stop now. So we’ll just have to shove up the deficit a few more millions and take a chance on what happens.” Spending, like a. disease, breeds greater spending. When the budget is out of balance $45,000,000,000, another five or ten billiori doesn’t seem important It is argued that a cessation now, even moderate, would be 'disastrous to business.! That’s easy to say—and impossible to prove. Certainly investors would be more willing to take a chance if they knew that the bulk o f their profits wouldn’t be taken by* government taxes, if they succeeded. Certainly in­ dustry would be more eager to lay plans and go ahead if it knew that, taxation wouldn’t absorb the greater part of its earnings. If is a historical fact that one of the greatest booms in busi hess in this country followed the greatest slash in federal spend ihg in our history—in 1921, after the war. Who can say that cuts in spending now—and there is no lack of places where cuts can be made—wouldn’t have a similar result? In any event, we are approaching the time'when either we must reduce our ex­ cessive spending or clamly accept inevitable bankruptcy, as have other nations. . •* i . r~™" . CONGRESS HEARS FROM HOME ■ InformationV e get from Washington sources is that never 1 In the history of the country has the, mail been heavier than a ; present to member of both houses of Congress. The same is true*of the White House, where little is said about it because ninety-nine per cent of the letters plead for Roosevelt to change his course and stay out of the European mess that will certainly, end in*war. Roosevelt is determined to furnish England ant France both men, money and powder, following a course he pursued while in the Woodrow Wilson cabinet as.Assistant Sec­ retary of the Navy. His love for the .smell of powder has no; wained and his every move and public utterance is proof tha ; he will not be satisfied until we have a repetition of the World uWar„ A second reason why Roosevelt wants war is to divert the public'mind from the ultimate fate that awaits his “Economic Revolution” as staged by his' new deal. Disaster in more ways than one awaits this nation with a debt of forty billion but a still greater disaster will be the wrath of the children of today that must in their maturity pay for this folly. Senator Vic Donahey in a recent statement says he. is an “ Isolationist,” and he asks Ohio citizens to keep cool over the foreign situation. He also says “ It is America's duty to put her own house in order. I will vote against any war other than when the .United States is attacked. I will give my life and .my money to defend America but not a nickel to carry the fight into foreign countries. . . . I believe our frontiers should be kept as near the Americas as possible and a neon light placed around the Monroe Doctrine.” Contrast Sen. Donahey’s statement with that of the'1two radio speeches of Roosevelt last Friday, which was nothing short of a declaration of war, something he has not the power to do legally without the approval of Congress, Those who know his disposition to ignore any law that does not meet his per­ sonal approval realize that.but one more step and American blood will be shed on foreign land. Sen. Donahey, should enlist the many other members of that body, in a demand that all agreements made by Roose­ velt and Hull between England and France and this country should be made public. If refused Congress certainly has it 'within its power to impeach'both. So far only a small number of members of Congress have publically approved the Roose­ velt speeches last week. Some of his most caustic critics are from his own party. Only five members of the Senate foreign relation committee of twenty-two approved his stand. The seventeen have publically disapproved. ' It has happened—just what many predicted. Elliott Roosevelt has been silenced on the air for pushing John N. Garner to succeed “ Dad.” Friday Elliott announced his resignation as head o f the Hearst Radio Service in Texas. There is one department o f the New Deal that you must come clean, if not the speaker and the station will be silenced. Roosevelt’s Communication Commission, control­ ling radio licenses, will only issue six-month permits. This keeps every­ one in line. More than one station has bit the dust and took its medicine under the same kind o f dictation that goes on under Hitler. No wonder Roosevelt is jealous of Hitler and Mussolini. Both have been stealing the New Deal thunder. made, which only goes to prove that Gov, Brisker ia right in ripping up the Davey tax hoard. Any board thai is that fa r behind in its work should be retired. The greatest sport o f modem times comes from the source o f the New Deal—Howard University, whence came what turned out to he “ brain- trustqrs.” If you can down enough Roosevelt cocktails you can become a “.Goldfish Gulper,” the latest in col­ legiate sports. It remained for Il­ linois U, to go Harvard classics one better and substitute a white mouse for goldfish. The act. drew an academic scolding that stirred Illinois circles. Any institution that could ■turn out the Communistic brand of the New Deal could not be shocked by few college boys “ in their cup's” gulping a few gold fish, j he lad that gave Harvard the best send off was when lie gulped fishing worms first with gold fish as si chaser. Jimmie Roosevelt has a new role this week. Jimmie made a fortune in a few months writing insurance on government contracts. When the game became a hot spot, Dad created a sec­ retaryship for .Jimmie sit the modest sum of $10,000 with White House bed and cakes". Meantime Jimmie 'was shoved ahead of scores of army offi eials that had been earning their spurs over a period o f years and Dad crown­ ed his eldest with a ranking title that “ in case we have wav," Jimmie will nave a seat at the director's table.back o f (he fines. Next Jimmie took on the job of making motion pictures for a Hollywood firm that was in ur roars around a million dollars on in­ come taxes. This week Jimmie turns up in England representing Dad in conference with the King and Queen A New York paper says Dad is in hourly conference with |\mb. Ken nedy, who" also spent the week-end as the guest of the Royal family. Don' be surprised when the order goes out to “ Forward March," it will come from England to King Franklin. Letters being sent out by Senator Vic Donahey in answer to pleadings that this country engage in no foreign war, stand as a rebuke to the posi­ tion taken so far by FDR, who as­ pires to head the world's police force, using the youth o f this country as gun~fod(ler. So far the Democrats have no one to take the role* of fav­ orite son in the coming presidential squabble on that side of the political fence other than Sen. Vic. or Martin L. Davey. The powers that be would rather take poison than Martin I. Being mixed in a war abroad and having Sen. Vic on the presidential slate in Ohio, which is necessary under the law unless he declines, makes the favorite son a candidate on an European war platform, if FDR has his way, Everybody remembers “ Wil­ son kept us out of War" until after his second term election. And we are stilt paying for that folly. It is almost unbelievable that one can hear Democratic Sen­ ators and pary leaders lambasting the late Woodrow Wilson, for his treaty making and League of Nations plan that not only divided countries but different nationalities of people following the World War and all this being the result now of the conflict across the Atlantic. Franklin D. Roosevelt was assistant Sec­ retary of the Navy at that time and this week quotes the Hon. James M. Cox as giving approval at a Wilson conference when the three were present. With Germany and Italy doing now just what Wilson did with the aid of England and France, it is going to take more of an explanation such as Roosevelt refers to now to convince this country that we should engage in the conflict. .. .........................................miII... .. iii ni.ini!. ............................ 1 1 »—i— —«aaBB WHERE TO STAY IN CINCINNATI in mcam ifdowntown - Tkii locution i ’ iym you «asy octeti to all path of G » and (In Meal (w cemmodotioM at A * Baloca »—tN idllt wnl INNV ly li WWQCHfmfMi, VbuTfanloyA* CikiiitTninv ... — a flnw IlMwWOffl) fiEWWNE and tar. IANDUP RATES ^ Tha PALACE HOTEL The English statesman quoted over the air that England should not de pend entirely on what Roosevelt will or can do, probably is good advice This statesman, who is not following Chamberlain, says America has not forgotten the unpaid war debts Eng land owes and there is no assurance our people are backing Roosevelt in his grandstand role. The English­ man also fails to see his country line­ up, with Communistic Russia in the coming war. The report that both Ifitler and Mussolini might accept Roosevelt’s peace propose’ if ho will jrurnntco that England and France Will return its once captured colonies to former owners. This nt once places FDR behind the “ Eight Ball," The forty-eighth annual Continental Congress, D, A, R., is meeting in Washington, D. C., tliia week. The organization has 140,000 members in this country. Just recently the DAR has had much publicity over the an­ nouncement that Mrs. Franklin D Roosevelt “has resigned’1 oyer the turning down of Constitutional Hall for a conceit for a colored opera singer. The Roosevelts made much of the DAR net but never offered the colored singer use o f any of the num­ erous government halls or public school auditoriums, all of which arc under the direction of the Roosevelt administration, Editor Jim Rockwell o f the Murphs- boro, IU,t Independent,, picket the choice answers from reports o f So­ cial Service investigators on applica­ tions for the “ More Abundant Life” under the New Deal.
