Washington, D.C., April 16 â€" It is much too early to appraise the national reaction to the President‘s "pumpâ€"priming" program submitted to Congress this week and outlined to the people in his "fireside chat" last Thursday. At this writing it appears that Congress will adopt the program but not without seriâ€" ous doubts as to its wisdom. Even those who have indicated their willâ€" ingness to support the proposal are without enthusiasm. "For three long years the Federal Government has Peen on the road toâ€" ward bankruptcy . . . with the utâ€" most seriousness I point out to the Congress the profound effect of this fact upon our national economy. It has contributed to the recent col> lapse of our banking structure. It has accentuated the stagnation of the economic life of our people. It has added to the ranks of the unâ€" employed. . . . Too often in recent history liberal governments have been wrecked on the rocks of loose fiscal policy. We must avoid this danger." ‘Whatever may be one‘s personal opinion with regard to the program outlined‘ in the President‘s radio speech, there is one phase of that speech which should be unanimously endorsed. In these words, it seems to me, the President expressed the fundamental need in the United States if we are ever to realize ecoâ€" nomic recovery: "There is placed on all of us the duty of selfâ€"restraint. . . . That is the discipline of a democracy. Every patriotic citizen must say to himself or herself that immoderate stateâ€" ment, appeals to prejudice, the creaâ€" tion of unkindness, are offenses not against an individual or individuals, but offenses against the whole popâ€" ulation of the United States." Today there is a breach between the President and the Congress. There is a breach between the govâ€" ernment and business. No doubt the wAdministration itself created There is no question that we are face to face with the necessity of taking positive, constructive steps to stem the tide of the business reâ€" cession. Nor is there any question that we have the increased responsiâ€" bility of providing employment for thousands of ourâ€"people who are without jobs. But we may well ask, is another "spending spree the remâ€" edy? Will it bring sustained ecoâ€" nomic recovery or will it prove to be only another stimulant which, like the others, ultimately wears off and leaves us deeper in the shadows of debts? Political economists have long recognized that a properly timed, well planned government public works program can serve to take up the slack when a business deâ€" cline sets in. The loosening of credit and the releasing of government funds have been accepted as proper functions of government in leveling off a drop in business activity. But such a program is to be distinâ€" guished from a reckless pouring out of billions of dollars in more or less a freeâ€"forâ€"all fashion. _ Reckless spending only leads to the situation which President Roosevelt himself described to Congress in 1933: When the President uttered those words of warning our Federal debt was $16 billion less than it is today. If there was a danger of bankruptcy in 1933 from "loose fiscal policy," surely the danger looms closer toâ€" day. And, as President Roosevelt suggested five years ago, "We must avoid this danger."

No doubt the Administraâ€" tion is in large part responsible for the bitterness and hatred and sharp divisions among our people.â€" No doubt no one has exercised less selfâ€" restraint than the government offâ€" cials themselves. But the problems which,confront us are bigger than our plhwnl or partisan animosities, and we should be prepared to ansâ€" wer the President‘s plea for unity. I cannot refrain from expressing the hope that those words: of the President mark the beginning of a new era, where there is a friendly spirit of cooperation between the Executive and Congress, between the government and business, in the common objective of advancing the general welfare of all the people. That is our basic need. The Theatre in Europe The current issue of the Theatre Arts Monthly, which may be found on the shelves of the reading room at the Highland Park Public library, is devoted to a discussion of the theatre in various foreign countries. The following information is taken from this magazine. Greece has two professional theâ€" atres devoted to producing the anâ€" cient Greek classics. . One, the Royal Theatre, is subsidized by the governâ€" ment and has its own school of actâ€" ing; the other, the Laice Scene (People‘s Theatre) is an experiâ€" mental theatre with workers reâ€" cruited from the peasant classes. The latter group is only about 3 years old, inaugurated and directed by a young playwright, Carolus Koun whose idea is eventually to produce the classics of all nations in modern Greek. The Moscow Children‘s Theatre has been in operation for about two decades and has grown to a posiâ€" tion of national importance in the artâ€"world. It.has performed some fifty plays .before four and a half million children and established a hundred tributary branches. The roster of actors, stage designers, and directors includes a"number of Norway has two national theatres, one in the capitol, Oslo, and the other in Bergem Both these theâ€" atres started as private enterprises at the end of the last century and served a voluntary probationary peâ€" riod before being subsidized by naâ€" tional funds. Not until 1927 did either of the projects receive finanâ€" cial aid. A great part of the credit for improving the art of the theâ€" atre goes to two of Norway‘s famâ€" ous playwrights, Henrik Ibsen and Bjornstjerne Bjornson, who were both connected with the theatre at Bergen. Their plays proved that drama was far wider in its appeal than had been supposed formerly and that it should have the support of the state. The funds for the state subsidy come from two sources: a percentage of the profits on the municipal monopoly of the movies and a percentage of the State Lottery surplus. In order that the whole country may benefit from the art for which they are paying through taxation the Naâ€" tional Theatres are pledged to send road companies to outlying districts as well as to broadcast plays over state‘s broadcasting station.

This is not in any sense naâ€" tional in scope though its efforts, localized in the east, have been well received. ‘The following is a list of recent books on the theatre which may be obtained at the Highland Park Public Library: Art of Playgoing, by Brown. ‘Art of Theatreâ€"Going, by Drinkâ€" water. : Drama, by Dukes.

At the last regular meeting the nominating committee presented its slate for the ensuing year. Formal elections will take place at the next meeting. Mrs. Charles Segal will then take over the duties of president for the next two years. Under her guidance it is a foregone conclusion that the effectiveness of the conference will continue as it has for the past three decades. Broke His Neck â€" and Didn‘t Know It!
