llmLifffl Washington, July 4.—Although there had been intimations that the President had a grand new spending scheme up his sleeve, it came as a real surprise when he submitted to Congress a proposal to authorize the expenditure of $3,860,000,000 as a final attempt to stimulate business recovery. The President's plan, incorpor ated in a letter to Senator Byrnes of South Carolina, who is his personal spokesman in the Sen ate, sets up a system of Govern mental agencies each having power to borrow money from pri vate investors by the sale of their own bonds or debentures. Thus the money so used would not add Don't Neglect Them! Nature designed the kidneys to do • marvelous job. Their task is to keep the flowing blood stream free of an excess of toxic impurities.

C. _J to the National Debt, except that money so borrowed would be against the Government's guar antee that the bonds would even tually be repaid. The propject is based upon the idea of using the funds so raised to finance so-called "self liquid ating" enterprises, in which sev eral of the New Deal agencies have already had considerable experience. \ The Home Owners Loan Cor poration, for instance, raised close to three billion dollars by the sale of its bonds, used the proceeds to lend on long terms to distressed home owners, and is getting the money back, with in terest. Have To Make Good The Government, however, will have to make good any deficits, and at present there is more than $500,000,000 of foreclosed home property on the books of. the H. O. L. C., which has to be sold at some price. Reconstruction Fi nance Corporation and W.P.A. have had considerable experience in lending money on self-liquid atftng projects, and have had few losses. The Farm Tenant program for lending money to farm tenants and laborers to buy their own farms has not such a good record of repayment. And American ex perience with foreign loans has not been altogether happy. Having those experiences in mind a considerable proportion of Senators and Representatives were slightly dismayed when the Presi dent's plan came to them out of an almost clear sky, coupled with a request for immedite action, so that the new spending could begin at once, for the fiscal year, 1940, which started July 1, 1939. The plan covers six different types of spending the money to be borrowed. The Federal Works Agency would be authorized to borrow and lend 350 millions to cities, towns and counties for waterworks, sew- THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA age disposal plants, bridges, hospi tals and other municipal projects; 750 millions to build toll roads, bridges, highspeed highways and city byways, to be paid for by tolls levied on motorists using them; and 500 millions to buy railroad equipment to be leased to railroads with the option of purchase. The Rural Electrification Ad ministration would have authority to borrow 460 millions additional, to lend to communities or rural in habitants to finance extension of electric lines to their homes. To Borrow 500 Millions The Farm Security Board would be enabled to borrow an addition al 500 millions to lend to tenant farm purchasers, rehabilitation of rundown farms, minor improve ments and repairs, for the estab lishment of water facilities, and to resettlement cooperatives. The Export-Import Bank would get authority to raise 500 millions for short-term and long-term loans to foreign governments to enable their people to buy American goods. In addition to those new propo sals, the President accompanied his letter to Senator Byrnes with a request for the approval of the proposal already pending in Con gress, to increase the borrowing power of the U. S. Housing Ad ministration by 800 millions, to be lent on 60-year terms for mod el homes for the poor, to take them out of city slums. The Presidential estimate of the amount of money raised by this means which will be spent in the year ending June 30, 1940, if Congress approves, is $1,680,000,- 000. This in addition to the sl,- 477,000,000 in direct appropria tions for the W.P.A. and the sl,- 100,000,000 carried in "the Agri cultural Appropriation. Behind-scenes manoeuvering on Capitol Hill is more than hinted at by those on the inside, in con nection with the Farm Bill and the w.P.A. Bill. The city Rep resentatives wanted the W.P.A. appropriation, but couldn't see the needs of the farmers. The Farm Lobby threatened to kill the W.P.A. bill, or cut the amount down materially, unless the city members voted for the Farm Bill. Cities and thickly- I populated industrial states dom- I inate the House of Representa tives; but each state has two i Senators, regardless of popula j tion, and there are thirty-odd 1 states which are predominantly ! agricultural as against thirteen | which are mainly industrial. If 1 the agricultural states got togeth i er in the Senate they could con trol 'that branch of Congress.» Deal Discussed It is openly talked in the corri dors and lobbies in the Capitol that the farm interests made a deal with the W.P.A. supporters whereby farm state votes for W. P.A. were swapped for W.P.A. votes for the farm program. Everything that goes on in Washington has political motives, and the President's latest move is taken as another indication that he is going after a third term. The advantage to the Adminis tration of having nearly four billions more of free-spending money in the next year is ap parent. The third-term move ment grows steadily, however. Three Senators, Hughes of Del aware, Smathers of New Jersey and Guffey of Pennsylvania have come out openly for Mr. Roose velt's renomination.
