the whole subject of government investing and government income is one which may be approached in two different ways the first calls for the elimination of enough activities of government to bring the expenses of government immediately into balance with income of government this cold this school of thought maintains that because our national income this year is only sixty billion dollars ours is only a sixty billion dollar country and that government must treat it as such and that without the help of government it may some day somehow happen to become an eighty billion dollar country and an important point if the Congress decides to accept this point of view it will logically have to reduce the present functions or activities of government by one-third not only will the Congress have to accept the responsibility for such reduction but the Congress will have to determine which activities are to be reduced certain expenditures I believe we cannot possibly reduce at this session such as the interest on the public debt a few million dollars saved here or there in the normal or in curtailed work of the old departments and commissions will make no great saving in the federal budget therefore the Congress would have to reduce drastically some of certain large items very large items such as aids to agriculture and soil conservation veterans pensions flood control highway a waterways and other Public Works grants for social and health security Civilian Conservation Corps activities relief for the unemployed or national defense itself the Congress alone has the power to do all this as it is the appropriating branch of the government the other approach the other approach to the question of government spending takes the position that this nation ought not to be and need not be only a sixty billion dollar nation there at this moment it has the men and the resources sufficient to make it at least an eighty billion dollar nation this school of thought does not believe that it can become an eighty billion dollar nation in the near future if government cuts its operations by one-third it is convinced that if we were to try it we will invite disaster and that we would not long remain even a sixty billion dollar nation there are many complicated factors with which we have to deal but we have learned that it is unsafe to make abrupt reductions at any time in our net expenditure program by our common-sense action of resuming government activities last spring we have reversed a recession and started the new rising fade of prosperity and national income which we are now just beginning to enjoy if government activities are fully maintained there is definitely good prospect of our becoming an eighty billion dollar country in a very short time with such a national income present tax laws will yield enough each year to balance each year's expenses it is my conviction that down in their heart the American public industry agriculture finance wants this Congress to do whatever needs to be done to raise our national income to 80 billion dollars a year investing soundly must preclude spending wastefully to God against opportunist appropriations I have on several occasions addressed the Congress on the importance of permanent long-range planning i hope therefore the following my recommendation of last year a permanent agency will be set up and authorized to report on the urgency and on the desirability of the various types of government investment yes investment for prosperity can be made in a democracy I hear some people say this is also complicated there are certain advantages in a dictatorship it gets rid of labor trouble it gets rid of unemployment I've wasted motion and having to do your own thinking my answer is yes but it also gets rid of some other things which we Americans intend very definitely to keep and we still intend to do our own thinking it will cost us taxes and the voluntary risk of capital to obtain some of the practical advantages which other forms of government have acquired dictatorship however involves costs which the American people will never pay the cost of our spiritual value the cost of the blessèd rate of being able to say what we please the cost of freedom of religion the cost of seeing our capital confiscated the cost of being cast into a concentration camp the cost of being afraid to walk down the street with the wrong neighbor the cost of having our children brought up not as free and dignified human beings but as pawns molded and enslaved by a machine the avoidance of these cost means taxes on my income if avoiding these costs means taxes on my estate of death I would bear those taxes willingly as the price of my breathing and my children breathing the free air of a free country is the price of a living and not a dead world events across the seas made it increasingly clear to the American people that dangers within our less to be fair than dangers from without if therefore a solution of this problem of idle men and idle capital is the price of preserving our Liberty no formless selfish fears can stand in the way once I prophesied that this generation of American had a rendezvous with destiny that prophecy comes true to us much is given more is expected this generation will nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of the way is plain peaceful generous just a way which if followed the world will forever applaud and God must forever bless ladies and gentlemen you have heard the President of the United States deliver his annual message on the State of the Union to a joint session of the now shake hands with the Speaker of the House the Honorable William B banquette and with the vice president of the United States the Honorable John Nance gone he hands his feet through the speaker and it becomes a record of his joint session of Congress an invitation from carnation listen now to lone journey the distinguished American radio novel written by Sandra and Peter Michael lone journey is brought to you by the carnation company producer of quality foods for nearly half a century occasionally the makers of Friskies dog food are asked why do you have two forms of Friskies Friskies cubes and Friskies meal when the formula of both is the same our principle reason is that Friskies cubes are sized just right for generous bites which exercise the jaw muscles of your dog just as certain crunchy foods do for us also many people like to feed a moist dish which can easily be prepared by adding a cup full of water to two cupfuls of Friskies meal warm water you see brings out the rich meaty flavor for your dog so there's a different kind of usefulness in each but whichever form you feed or if you feed both alternately as so many people do you can be sure you're giving your dog full nutrition because Friskies actually contains 19 selected ingredients in a perfectly balanced formula for health and growth and stamina Friskies of course includes in that formula generous protective amounts of vitamins A B D and E and all the minerals known to be necessary scientifically combined in a way proved by years of testing at the Friskies kennels near Seattle start feeding Friskies cubes or Friskies meal or both today this is chapter 67 of loan journey Wolfe's little son tele slept almost the entire way in the drive from Miles City to Lewistown Montana this is a long drive which made the boys nap almost an all-day performance now near the end of the day and the ride and the long sleep we pick up the car as it leaves the open prairies and runs in among the wooded hills that mark the western boundary line of the Spirit T ranch almost home hmm well I know this is the most beautiful spot in the world hmm it's hard to beat when it looks like this mr. Rainier this afternoon yes yeah it does have that clear washed smell ever see such brilliant juicy green mm-hmm those Meadows singing yes look at everything blue sky look at those quiet old mountains they're like a peaceful group of grandfather big husky grandfathers who really been able to take life and now they come on now they're what now they're sitting there talking it over among themselves and their wise and steady way the afternoon Sun on their big ancient shoulders it's waking up just in time must have sensed we were here yes I should say good morning Kelly well home son there's pretty good view of the ranch from here come on out I want to show you something oh you'll see that when we get all the way home this is only the beginning of the ranch Ellie you have such a lovely new home here you know that sure I know that that is that mean lots of pictures I know what that big mountain moon is the over there are you sure about that cause I'm sure that what is it daddy that's black beauty is what I was going to say that's black view right Joyce and and the one over there that's grassy Butte and a sort of pointed one way back there sticking up a little above the others that's Judith peak Oh that's where Mr Hamilton's got his copper mine in a big deep tunnel when are we going up to mr. Hammonds time daddy can we go now well I think we'd better put that off until tomorrow the next day maybe oh well you probably don't realize it young fella but neither sitting there daddy who slept a wink for two days are you kidding tell me we're going to go up to the house now and then I'm going to fix supper for us all and after we've eaten it I'm going home and take a bath I look half as dirty as I feel I'm sure you know will put me in a pen with the rest of the pig oh thank you tele that's very sweet of you boy comes honestly by his good judgment that ha ha look see that dear no telly out there on the meadow I don't say not your that brush you see him you see the deer you don't see anything I'm afraid you're rushing the seasonal little son telly you wouldn't want to shoot that poor harmless little deer would you I don't know well it's much more fun to let them live but then you can watch them playing out there in the meadow and and see their pretty little spotted fawns in the spring did you ever see a little potted spawn in the spring Stinney did you ever well I saw one just one time but it was the prettiest sight I ever saw in my life his spots all spots all over him and he was so tiny and he had great round eyes and legs is goodness forget it I like pisghetti that's one of my favorite things to eat I like this caddy daddy isn't it suppertime now I'm hungry well come on fella get in that car we'll fix you up with a finest edition just get it now it was on to the house here there was a momentary disappointment there was no one at home to greet them house seemed oddly quiet and uninviting I wonder why they could be I'll bet they're up at Lila's for supper they hadn't expected us until tomorrow at the earliest daddy can I go see your brownie horse now well huh tell you son daddy's got to fix that spaghetti for you and I know sitting he's all tired out didn't he is nothing of the sort are you just going to introduce telly to brownie now take over here now March both of you and more talk about it well we don't have any boys on this side we just sort of do all the work together daddy our little family why do I say it I know that will never happen at least I don't need to delude myself sweet little boy come on inside now we'll go say hello to brownie bye Kelly goodbye dear little boy I'm afraid I love you too now during the next hour while the shadows of the hills to the west reached farther and farther out across the meadows and the air cooled and little Nighthawks began to soar and dive in the soft evening light Wolf Bennet showed his young son some of the wonders of his new home father and son like the menfolks on farms and ranches all over America add to that eternally welcome call to food and make a beeline for the kitchen door outside it they paused to perform the inevitable little ritual the scraping of mud and other farm accumulations from their shoes Sidney is busy in the kitchen through the screen door she hears them talking out there she smiles wistfully and feels icky well that's quite a question thank you that's what you said down at the hospital don't you remember daddy you said tele I want you to meet your new mommy oh did I say that that's what you said daddy that's what the man said you haven't changed your mind about that have you daddy yeah where'd you see it wasn't it when your father said that telly he didn't mean it literally um not exactly like that he didn't well you know how you call some people your aunt or your uncle even though they aren't really related to you oh yes I know like my uncle Billy englehorn and mill walk yes that's right well I'm sure that's what your daddy meant when he said I was your new mummy just a very good friend of the family that right mm-hmm okay I know how those shoes about clean huh Sydney your husband got killed in the war didn't me ah all right so now shall we go in didn't he get killed in the war soon a Tele inside now we don't know honey we don't know for certain he got lost in the war but many many other men have gotten lost and then been found again my granny tell me uncle the daddy won't no matter this that your husband was really dead now because the government said he was jelly can't we talk about this some other time all right yeah you don't mind wolf um I think it might be best for me to explain to tell you exactly how it is will that be all right yes all right well you're you're quite right about that honey the government has told me that it thinks Lansing will never come back but the important thing to remember telly is is that neither the government nor anybody knows for certain and that's why we all keep on a whole pinion and believing that Lanting will be found again and come back to it well Sydney don't you think that these will may we leave it like that all right Sydney the boy looked from Wolf's face to sydnee's he says that here was something important about which his father and Sidney disagreed it made him unhappy but only for a moment the incident and Sidney's words however disturbed Wolff profoundly I shouldn't even think this but it's almost as though Sidney were deliberately doing things to strengthen that crazy notion of hers that he'll come back putting it in the boys mind almost like giving it another place to grow when I was speaking of the two forms of Friskies dog food a few minutes ago I mentioned the fact that many people like to feed both alternately Friskies cubes one time and Friskies meal the next and there's another important way to use Friskies cubes as a reward for good dog performances those crunchy cubes are really a wonderful help in training your dog teaching him to obey commands and do tricks so it's a good idea to have an extra box of Friskies cubes handy just for that purpose since frisky supplies balanced full nutrition you're rewarding it with something that's good for him try this plan get Friskies cubes and Friskies meals a day plenty of each ask for economical convenient Friskies at your grocery pet or feed store een or for heaven's sake tell me what you've got to say what inor has to say at this moment may change Wolf's entire life and Sydney's Intel his life be sure to listen tomorrow to lone journey brought to you by the carnation company who also present the carnation contented hour each Monday evening this is Nelson case

just coming in the door it's Peter oh it's Philip who's posing as my husband Oh May he mustn't see you he's going to see me now all I've had quite enough of this nonsense I'm going to let Peter know here and now that I'm in Hollywood Laura and Peter's friend and Secretary may case or in the lobby of a Hollywood hotel and may's words fill Laura's mind with sudden panic that man is me Peter he's Peters cousin Phillips Cole and I must let me go to him I bet the stopper is that he finds out that even Hollywood Peters life may be in danger I've got to keep her from going over to him I'm going over to an outdoor I'm tired of this wild idea of yours that he's an impostor I'll be back in a moment oh may wait may I couldn't stop her why didn't I hold her back no she'll ruin everything everything oh oh I beg your pardon sorry it was all my fault I'm afraid I didn't look where I was going are you hurt hurt no no of course I'm not what's the matter why do you keep staring at me I was I staring I I didn't realize it I just excuse me please excuse me yes of course funny we need a lot of strange people in this world but that woman I wonder Oh Oh Dora did you see what happened only you ruined everything why didn't you wait why don't you listen to me when I tried to stop you oh I can't believe it I I simply can't but they come over here where we can't be seen I didn't see what happened me I was almost afraid to look what you've just done can you realize what it means Peters lie or listen to me I didn't ruin anything he went over there you called him Peter oh I didn't I'm trying to tell you I I crossed the lobby and I deliberately bumped into him oh go on he looked right at me Dora I apologized he said it was his fault but he looked right at me and there wasn't a sign of recognition I didn't think there would be what did you say to him I didn't say anything I didn't give my stuff away I think I was too stunned to say anything I just stood there for a moment trembling and I walked away Oh didn't you think it was odd the way you acted he didn't seem to Lora Mae now do you believe me now do you think I'm insane no no I don't if that man had been Peter he would have known me but this man never saw me in his life before if only you haven't aroused his suspicions I couldn't have it was just an accident my colliding with him he couldn't possibly have thought it with anything else oh no I can't get open do you wonder that I was fooled he's the very image of Peter and with those sunglasses on my eyes I never guessed that it wasn't Peter even his boy so that's what I've been trying to tell you me but that business was very wint in the movie star now how do you account for he is knowing all the details of Peter and averey being engaged years ago I can't explain it how Phillip knew all those things about Valerie I I don't understand it either even mr. Winton mistook him for Peter or maybe she didn't what do you mean Chris do you think she might be in on this you got it on the plan that Phillip call is trying to carry out do you think they could be working together oh no may I don't but it's possible isn't it but not very probable why do say that because Valerie Winton is the famous movie star I met her in no offense office a few days ago and she didn't know until that time that Peter was in Hollywood what makes you so sure Oh Noel Flint told me North Flint Oh the movie director man Philip state is interested in you yes and no wouldn't lie to me and I don't think Valerie's mixed-up in whatever Philip is doing she's above all that why she wouldn't stoop to a scheme like it's hard to tell what people would do to get their hands on the car of a fortune well I'm sure valerie hasn't any part in it then how do you explain Philips knowing all about her I can't explain it at the moment who who was at the office this afternoon when you were talking to Miss Winton when you arranged for her to stop by and say hello to Peter Oh Noah was we were going to lunch together no all in Beatrice Langdon and I we Beatrice Langdon why didn't I think of her before Beatrice Langdon isn't she your neighbor who's staying with you yes yes she's a normal secretary she went out of the office to make a telephone call while she was gone Valerie Winton came in me let me think the office walls are very thin Beatrice might have come into the reception room while Valerie and I were talking good heavens Laura yes she might easily have overheard our conversation Valerie told me about the bracelet Peter gave her how they went riding in the park together yes Beatrice could have overheard those things and tipped off tulip coal Laura is that what you mean yes she knows Phillip call he's the man her father forced her to go around with and then she blames for her father's death but she's supposed to be a friend of yours why of all the underhanded sneaky no wait a minute may Beatrice Langdon working with Phillip living in the same house with us yeah yes that must be beyond that you'd better get her out of there at once make her pack of things that need immediate no no I won't do that well sure you aren't defending her daughter you couldn't no but don't you see asking her to leave would be a very stupid move it would be the natural thing to do it's what you want to do never guess that I know everything I may that would ruin my chance of saving Peter gracious I think I almost told Beatrice everything this afternoon I would have told her Noel hadn't come into the office but if I asked her to go she'll be bound to guessed that I'm on to her oh yes I hadn't thought of that no may I want her to stay she may be my me but finding out where Peter is my only means and if I I can break her down and make her tell me everything well if she's in with Philip she won't break down she's after all the money she can get I don't think that's why she's in with Philip May I think he's forcing her to help him she isn't doing it because she wants to and that may make it easier for me to get through to her how do you reason that if I can find out why she's afraid of him I can dispel that fear and win her confidence I think she'll help me it doesn't sound very easy to me my dear maybe the best thing would would be to go to the police no I can't do that Philip has worked out a very clever plan me but the others working with him if I go to the police and they arrest him the others may take revenge by hurting me do we only knew where Peter is if we knew for sure that he's alive may I believe that he's alive I I have faith that Peter is alive and that I can rescue lor you have such courage I love Peter and that love gives me courage only I have to be more careful than ever not to let Philip his aspect that I know his real identity I've just got to win Beatrice's trust but it it may take time he'll be bound to wonder where you are when you're away from the Willard place maybe I can find an explanation for him surely an explanation is all right when I'm doing it to save my husband's life what are you going to tell Philip I may not have to tell him anything actually just let him think that I'm taking photographs for Eagle magazine he's not interested nothing my work to ask to see them anyway but I wonder what he's doing at this hotel how do I I don't dare stay here to find out he mustn't see me here especially after you bumped into him like that might start putting two and two together yes I guess you're right Oh Laura forgive me for talking the way I did before now I see how right you were about him and there's anything I can do to help or the best thing you can do is stay here and keep standing by and when I need you may I'll let you know meanwhile in another part of the lobby Phillip is greeting Elaine Marshall his attractive young accomplice what and thunder took you so long to get down here Elaine wasn't long you're just on edge that's all how's it going Phillip fine so far but Randall is still out of town huh I'm biding my time till he gets back and I can sell them the plans I stole from Peters safe honey I'm going crazy waiting I keep thinking of you in that house maybe getting interested in Laura Lawton now Elaine don't you know that you're the only one I care about don't you believe me darling I want to believe you Oh Phil I'm so crazy about you if I thought Laura or that Beatrice Langdon were trying to take you away from me I'm not interested in Beatrice but she can help me I've got her so frightened of me that she'll do anything she thinks I know something about her father that I'll blacken his reputation if she doesn't do what I tell her I'll feel what are you staring at that woman crossing the lobby we're walking toward the elevators the middle-aged one with a gray hair look at her Elaine over there oh yeah I know it stirred this afternoon her rooms on the same floor as mine I think she came in here yesterday what about her funny thing happened a while ago she bumped into me when I was walking across the lobby what's so strange about that she just didn't look where she was going maybe maybe not what are you talking about she stared at me in such an odd way Elena I want you to find out about that woman find out who she is and where she comes from sure but what's the idea Phil what do you suspect I'm not sure I suspect anything but it doesn't hurt to be cautious I thought she acted very strangely and I'd like to know the reason why all right Phil I'll find out all about her and let you know by the time I'm through I'll know more about that woman than she knows herself we'll LaLanne find out that make aces Peter secretary and thus upset the urgent plans of Laura Lawton now the reason some women seem to be always at it scouring and scrubbing is simply because they haven't made this discovery 90 percent of the daily scouring you do is caused by grease in fact grease is the big problem in practically every household cleaning job you do it's grease that holds dirt to wash tans tubs floors doors as well as pots and pans now if you still use an ordinary scouring scrub cleanser you have to scrape through this grease film by tedious rubbing what you should do is change to the astonishing modern cleaner created specifically to dissolve grease to Babbo bab-oh all you do is sprinkle a little babo on a moist cloth and wipe surfaces bab-oh dissolves the grease melts it harmlessly away then dirt and stains wiped gently off on your cloth everything is thoroughly clean yet you're through in a hurry and because babble can work so fast you can save time and effort you also save the precious luster of your enamel what's more bab-oh goes further you use less of it so you save real money to try babel for cleaning your pots and pans sink stoves refrigerators and bathroom fixtures see for yourself why thousands of women everyday are switching to Babbo see how much quicker you finish your household cleaning with this wonderful grease dissolving cleaner today ask your grocer for ballo spell bab-oh Laura Lawton will be on the air at the same time

manner and flashing the fish the rather short distance to the great battleship Missouri the scene of the formal action and filled Japan's defeat if I'm up the gangway to a deck table with sailors and Brett's white uniforms and push your way out to a spot near one of the enormous gun turret it still a good two hours before the ceremonies to begin but already is apparent that never before and Pacific War history perhaps never before anywhere as though many war reporters been assembled in a single spot nobody seems to know exactly how many there were but there must have been upwards of 350 year they were 11 nations across Japan Meadows got a Pearl Harbor when the war began the European theater which Germany collapse at it reached here in time to see in the pond at the same medicine family after an hour past you call the European position you go forwards the starboard quarter deck and climb up to a position in the superstructure from which you can look down directly on the stage where the drum will be played there apart groups of Correspondence on platforms to one side of the quarterdeck on top of the big number two gun turret and one arm of the range fighter and through higher beneath you is the table covered with green behind the table waiting for the gangway documents on the green baize table looks the mover and then take them away again he won't bring them back and just until just a few minutes before 9 o'clock the Missouri people aboard her watching as much as the preliminaries as they concede most of them decked in resplendent dress uniform except for the American progressed as they have done everyday in this war sure open up the neck at no decoration before long a rather small area the quarterdeck is slamming with a greatest collection of brass meaning important military figures you've ever seen at one time you spot general Hodges commander the u.s. first Army which did so much to lick the German he won't have to throw his men against the Japanese thanks to this day and his 20th a little Russian photographer a steps off of the quarterdeck and launches a vigorous discussion with the navy public relations officer the little russian was a sheepish praise to it at the pump cap tilted over one year he looks a good deal like the french comedian maurice chevalier he is the only man and civilian flaws you see on the wall ship he apparently doesn't like the place to which is gonna find finally the case is taken to several brilliantly clad officers of the Russian delegation not too much discussion the little cameraman climbs up the platform on top of the gun turret but every seat there is already taken nobody will move and therein food is another long debate with nobody able to understand anybody else it's all friendly those concealed on the little Russian who's now under the rangefinder all the attacked but still other photographers the same debate starts all over again with much harm waiting and when you've looked again if these a little Russian is happily sitting in the front row waving to a comrade all down below souvenir cards are being passed out to the officers attending the ceremony on one side is the reproduction of the Japanese flag on the other is a statement the holder attended the surrender ceremony the cards were produced in the print shop of the Missouri by now the initial delegates from the various allied countries have assembled behind the table all the other officers who were only witnesses have lined up to the left one of the Chinese delegates steps out with a small camera and takes a picture of both groups at 8:42 we get word that General MacArthur is coming aboard from a destroyer on the other side three minutes later a marine honor guard on our side snaps to attention and MacArthur together with Nimitz and Halsey strides rapidly across the quarterdeck and disappears into Hafiz Kevin the supreme Allied commander also whereas an open net shirt his famous gold encrusted cap looks somewhat the worse for long wear you look over and notice this little russian cameraman hard at work he now has almost half of all the space atop the rangefinder for his equipment about his other photographers including another Russian are pushing each other around and left at 8:52 a.m. the Japanese delegation of 11 men arrived alongside the three civilian at 8 military men have been bouncing around in a small very on elaborate boat farther out for quite a while as the table steps to the quarterdeck you see their leader foreign minister sheikh omitsu has a right leg that's almost useless apparently it's an artificial limb he takes the steps very slowly one foot at a time he and the other two Jap civilians are dressed in formal forenoon attire with stiff high top hats the Japanese are wearing those swords the next delegation lines up alone in three rows standing stiffly while the cameras grind and slash someone remarks the Sheik omitsu who hardly appears able to get about is certainly a fitting symbol of the beaten crippled country he represents today the Japs stand there all alone with expressionless faces for almost five minutes waiting them exactly at nine o'clock General MacArthur appears so suddenly and quietly that you miss it until he starts talking his hand holding the script is trembling noticeably apparently with emotion but enjoys his firm then he tells the job delegation to fine one of the civilians apparently a secretary steps forward and checks the english version with the japanese document holds he steps back and should you meant to hobble forward slowly sits down remove the yellow glove from his right hand takes his mountain turn out of his pocket looks at his wristwatch to make sure it's after nine o'clock and finds after him the army chief of staff finds he doesn't sit down but merely stoop slightly to place pretend the paper MacArthur's fire and the thrill runs through every witness as he calls on general wing right captured in Corregidor and only released about a week ago to stand beside him after which MacArthur gives the pen to Wainwright this is a moment never be forgotten this is the bomb as soon as part of the pain of the ten and Admiral Nimitz finds for the United States a gardeners find as supreme Allied commander
