The president , proposed, however,
that congress
$460,000,000 in
find
ways of raising
new itaxes, which
r-
wouid stajjl^leave a deficit of $1,716,-
OpOvOOO for the year. That would ne
cessitate borrowing more money, and
if the program worked out exactly as
planned the national debt at the end
of the year would be within a very
few million dollars of the statutory
limit of 45 billions.
Difference of Opinion
The points at which the sharpesTt
differences between the* president’s
ideas and those of many senators and
representatives of both parties occur
are, first, the relative importance of
the defense program and intemation-.
al affairs generally by comparison
with our own internal economy; sec
ond, the political undesirability of in-
creaamg taxes in an election year;
and tfakd, the inexpediaoey, for the
same reason, of reducing farm bene
fits. -
TTie question of what the United
States is going to defend, and against
whom, is being asked by (critics of the
national defense program. More than
four billion dollars for militdry pre
paredness has been appropriated in
the past two years, and the enlarge-
paent of the navy, the army and the
air forces is well under way. There
is certain to be sharp dbeate on the
new items in the president’s defense
program.
The present inclination is to defer
any consideration of new taxes until
after March 15, when the income tax
returns for the last year will be avail
able as a basis for calculation. So far
the 'estimates of tax revenue are
largely guess-work. The last thing
most members of either bouse want
to do, if it can be avoided, is to in
crease taxes. And the agricuRural
block is prepared to make the p<rfiti-
cal livel^miaerable of those who vole
for any curtailment of existing farm
benefits. <
Trade Agreement Controversy
Another point in* 'the * president’s
message on whicl^ sharp controversy
seems* likely to -sdevric^ on Cacpitol
Hill, probably earlier than 'on the otix-
er items mentioned, is his request for
the renewal of the law authorizing
reciprocal trade agreementa. This law,
enacted in 1934, expires by limHation-
on June 12 this year. It has been bit-
’terly attacked in the light of several
trade agreem'ents which are repre
sented as injuriouB to the intereOts of
American producers. „
The party politics of a presidential
election year figure strongly in all the
considerations which will govern this
session’s debates and acts. Part of
the opposition to the reciprocal trad«
agreements, for example, has its foun
dation in the desire to put Secretary
Hull “in bad” as a presidential pos
sibility. Washington now generally
credits the statement attributed to the
president that Mr. Hull is his personal
choice as the Democratic ninninee.
That presupposes Mr. Roosevrit’s
decision not to pi^ himself forward
for a third term, a dedakm which the
ahrevriiest observers here now think
he has reached. Mr. Hull is regarded
hy uMmy Republican lirntriers as being
perhapt 'the most dlffioirit oppooeat
for tMr candidate to heat, since he
prohahly could hold in line it^ cle-
.rnent of Souihem. Democrats who
