M V SIXTY-FOURTH YEAR \ No. 8 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, AY, IAN. 17, 1941 m m m PRICE, J1.50 A YEAR mmsm ii i m w s m WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J , BROWN . Member of Congress, Seventh Ohio District President Roosevelt's address to the Congress Monday ^of last week has brought mingled reactions on Capitol Hill. Almost to 'a man members of Congress are for national defense. The legislators feel 'that anything fend ev­ erything must be done that Is neces­ sary to put"this country In position to defend itself against any and ail enemies. A great majority of the Con­ gress' also want to see Great Britain victorious” in the present European conflict. However, the deal division pf opinion comes ,on just-- hdw far* the United!; States should go in rendering aid to Great Britain. Spine believe in “all out aid” to Great Britain re­ gardless of the* consequences to the. United States* Others* however, in­ sist that .the1first responsibility of Congress is'to the United States' and the American people, and that any ' aid given Britain must not endanger American peace or injure American defense. A third, group, which is a very small minority, are opposed to the- United,States furnishing any aid to any European power-involved in the present conflict. The fact remains, however,'that President Roosevelt has established ‘‘all out aid” to Great Britain,as the policy of his Adminis­ tration* He admits frankly that Such a policy may lead to American ‘ in-, volvement -in the wfer, but-eontends. that the furnishing of such aid does not constitute an act of war. From a broad point of view, however, an act of war is actually any act that another nation considers so unfriendly as to cause such.nation to declare war or begin hostilities. Therefore, it: seems that at the present time the- next move is up to the Axis Powers. tb Two weeks ago, in a New Year’s Day forecast, this 'column predicted,^hat the President would .submit an~“art nual budget of somewhere between seventeen and twenty billion dollars ’ and h l -tfPr chining decal year would Teach thes’e dizzy figures,. Several-letters were re­ ceived criticising the statement. How­ ever, on last Wednesday, President Roosevelt submitted to the Congress his annual budget message calling for a total'of seventeen billion four hun­ dred and eiglity-five million dollars for thfe fiscal year beginning July 1st r.eXfc. Th^budget included ten billion eight hundred ai.d eleven, million dol­ lars feu? uaHohiil defense, but did not include arty appropriations for sug­ g e s te d ^ to Groat Britain. Estimates as to.thts additional amounts the Presi­ dent will; itequcst be authorized and appropriated for British aid run any­ where frOm three billion to ten bil­ lion dollars, With most legislataive leaders believing the sum will be close to fiVe billion dollars. Usually appro­ priations made by Congress are cort- sidetably higher than iudget figurcs and Undoubtedly the total appropria­ tions f«ftr the new fiscal year will run above the budget submitted by the President. So it can be readily .seen that the prediction made in this colftmn two weeks ago as to govem- mehtfel expenditures for the coming -fiscfel year was quite conservative. in spite of all the brave talk by the President and others as to the sacri­ fice* that must he made by the various departments of government and the ., American people generally to meet national defense needs, the Presi­ dential budget for the ordinary opera­ tion’s of government, exclusive Of na­ tional defense, carried reductions of but slightly, more than four hundred milion dollars Under actual appropria­ tions for the present fiscal year. By the time Congress passes the general appropriation bills, and makes the us­ ual deficiency appropriations, there is little doubt but that the total appro­ priations for .the normal operations of government will be higher than ev­ er before and all the talk about prac­ tising economy in ordinary govern­ ment activities will prove to be just tkfct much twaddle. In his message to Congress the President also advocated ati extension and enlargement of gov­ ernment subsidies for Social welfare, inriuding old age pensions, unemploy- ttwnt compensation, health facilities, etc. Such governmental activities are hath popular fend expensive and if <Urn President’s recommendations as to serial welfare legislation fere CUrried 0« t by the Congress, additional mfi- . lions, fetid perhaps bmions,wMhave t * be appropriated to meet the cost thereof, fttttaking of appropriations for na- ' tfewadifenss: i f the Cdngre«sap- the nearly eleven billion S E T for national defence requested LT NEWS TO a W s t ON SALES TAX ’ Templin, sales and excess the'Mayor’s January 20 in the afternoon, to assist vendors in filing their sales tax returns.
