PRESIDENT PROJECTS .
NEW DEBT PEAKS
Washington, Jan. 5. -Congress
received a budget message
from President Roosevelt today
which projected new billion-dollar
treasury deficits and a new
high for public ; debts despite
estimates of lesser spending.
In forecast for' the 1939 fiscaf
year a $539,000,000 cut in gov
ernment outlays was brought
out "the most important fact
of the budget," the President
indicated. However, the reduc
tion depends on an upturn in
business and national defense
requirements.
The budget figures estimated
a net deficit of $1,088,129,600
for the current fiscal year and
$949,606,000 for . the next', 12
months which he noted' would
be successive declines. He stated
that the public debt would reach
a peak of $38,528,200,000 on
June 30, 1939.
"Due to world conditions over
which this nation has no con
trol' Mr. Roosevelt allowed
room for money to flow from
the treasury to the possibility
of more spending for human re
lief and for armaments.
To obtain next year's estimat
ed spending slash of $539,000,
000, Roosevelt cut his estimates
, for relief, and recovery to $1,-138,304,000--down
$841,356,600
from this year's figures. He
added however:
"The- economic situation may
not improve and if it does not,
I expect the approval of con
gress and the public for addi
tional appropriations if they be
come necessary to save thou
sands of American families
from dire need."

The Sunny
South f
By Stuart RaJ)b
Sometime during last fall Mr.
Walter Davenport made a quick
trip through the South. Mr.
Davenport was looking for
"dirt" in the southern textile
industry. When he thought he
had enough "dirt", to make his
story attract ' comment, Mr.
Davenport turned his Inaterial
over to Collier's Magazine, Just
before Thanksgiving Collier's
published "All Work and No
Pay." This collection of episodes
consists mostly of alleged con
versations between Davenport
and some very pitiful millSvork
rs. The theme of these conver
sations is that the cotton mill
operators have violated several
actual laws, as well as the rudi-
ments of decency, in robbing,
taking advantage of, and op
Pressing the workers.
Facsimiles of pay checks
made completely worthless to
Pay for .debts contracted at the
company store, Ku Klux Klan
Posters these are the illustra
tions for Mr. Davenport's ar
ticle. Mr. Davenport may be writ
ing the truth each of his "con
versations" may be authentic.
But Mr. Davenport uses a very
breezy, sophisticated style. The
reader assumes (and I believe
