U. S. DICTATORSHIP FEARJFDiGLAS Former Budget Director De plores Continued Policy A of Spending. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA. March 15—De struction cl the Nation’s currency and "middle class’’ population, and pos- j Sible establishment of a dictatorship were seen by Lewis Douglas, former director of the Federal budget, as ultimate possibilities in a continued * policy of governmental spending. "If the spending policy continues, quite irrespective of the disguised and concealed inflationary methods which have been employed, quite irrespective of the absence of the standard tests of Government credit, quite irrespec tive of the amount of gold which we * may hold, the effect must be catas trophic.” he declared in an address before a student assembly at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Commerce and Finance. Complete Change Seen. “If the emergency in the Spring of ; 1933.” he asserted, “was .sufficient to vest in the executive greater powers ! than ever before in our history have been vested in him. is there any rea- ; son to doubt that * * * the sheer weight of economic forces * * a will force a complete change in our politi cal organization? “Only a dictator—whether it be a dictator of socialism or fascism is un- j important—will be adequate to cope , with the situation. Thus there will be wiped out all of the liberties for which I the Anglo-Saxon race has struggled ; for more than a thousand years, and | thus there will be destroyed, with the i •forgotten man.’ the America which created the highest standard of living the world has ever known. Unpleasant Contemplation. “If the administration pursues its' present course, if it insists upon spending and spending, then * * * j the ultimate collapse is not pleasant for the ‘forgotten man’ to contem plate. 0 * * "The only method known to man of protecting a currency is to balance the budget of the money-making power.” This could be done in two years in the United States, Douglas explained, by the following steps: Convert Federal credit agencies into ‘ “purely liquidating agencies"; Hold "so-called ordinary expend itures" of government to S2.700.000. 000 plus about $1,000,000,000 for • liquidation” of existing public works obligations; Appropriation of $1,250,000,000 for » “allocation to the States for relief.” HEADS B’NAI B'RITH Abe Shefferman Elected President of .District Grand Lodge.
