NATIONAL DEBT RISES
The addition of 740 million
dollars to the public debt, by
the floating of a new Treasury
loan early in September, brings
the total debt up to above 38
billions, with the practical cer-
tainty that additional expendi-
tures, under the appropria-
tions made by the last Con-
gress, will bring the national
debt up to 40 billions by next
summer.
Whether any effective effort
will be made to balance the
budget by keeping expendi-
tures within the income from
taxation, between now and
theii. remains to be seen. There
is beginning to be talk in
Treasury circles of increasing
taxes in various ways, but no
definite new tax program has
been formulated.
On the other band, the De-
partment of Agriculture is
looking forward to greatly in-
creased subsidies for farmers,
to be paid out of general Treas-
ury funds and running to 1500
million dollars, or thereabouts.
The real hope, such as there
is, of bringing the budget into
balance, is that there will be
such a general improvement in
business and industry as to in-
crease the taxable incomes of
corporations and individuals
and, by increasing employ-
ment, reduce the relief expen-
ditures. The national income
is now estimated at 64 billion
dollars a year.
It would have to raise to 100
billion to yield enough in in-
come taxes at present rates to
bring the budget into balance.
There is a very optimistic feel-
ing in Washington about the
business outlook, and predic-
tion . from ’official sources of a
sharp rise in factory output
and business turnover begin-
ning in October.
Politically, Washington ob-
servers quite generally expres-
the belief that President Roose-
velt has lost much ground since
Congress adjourned, but that
opinion is always qualified by
the belief that he still has a
majority of the voters behind
him. How far the opposition
of political leaders within his
own party will affect the citi-
zens who voted for Mr. Roose-
velt when they next go to the
polls is one of the big unan-
swered questions.
The other is how successful
the Republicans will be in re-
forming their disorganized
party lines and the voters in
1940 which will not be shaping
a national program to offer too
close a copy of the New Deal
but will still appeal to the
man in the street.
A Trip to the National
Baptist Convention,
Colored, at St. Louis, Mo.
(By R. P. Roberts)
Acting as delegate from the
association of which I have
held membership thirty-eight
years, I left Timpson by motor
to Marshall, Texas, where I
took the train by the way of
the Cotton Belt Route to St.
Louis. The weather was very
warm and disagreeable, but
changing trains at Texarkana
put me into a air-condition** i
coach which seemed to make
the journey more enjoyable.
From Marshall to Texarkana
crop conditions appear not as
good as are here, caused by
the lack of rain; proceeding on
we strike a belt of country
where it seemed that sawmill-
ing is the leading industry. The
big plants at Camden, Fordyce
and other places in Arkansas,
recalled to me the “days of
plenty” here, when Messrs.
Nobles, Ragley, and other men
helped with their great saw-
mills to make this country pros-
perous.
Beyond Pine Bluff, Ark., are
the great cotton fields. In one
field I made an effort to count
he hands picking, but failed
md then made an estimation
>f near seventy.
Com is also very good here.
After passing through this belt
we came* to the great giant rice
farms. Corn and rice seem to
be the leading industry, togeth-
er with wheat until we entered
St. Louis.
I saw no barns and was told
that corn was not harvested
like we do in the South, but
was shucked or husked in the
fields, shelled and sacked for
shipment.
The big colored Baptist gath-
ering was the largest of it*
kind in America, composing of
a delegation amounting to
twenty-five thousand, presided
over by Rev. L. K- Williams of
Chicago, who has a world-
wide reputation among both
colors, white people, as well as
black. The meeting was held
in the City Coliseum, donated
to the use of the convention
while in session. The next ses-
sion goes to Philadelphia.
As a whole the trip was en-
joyed, being strickly a religious
body of men and women, pray-
ing to Cod for success. * Over
forty thousand dollars were
raised for missions and educa-
tion.
