ASK THE WEATHER MAN IF EVE LAST DON'T 'WAIT! BILLIONS NEEDED ROOSEVELT SAYS (Continued From Page 1) Roosevelt spoke optimistically of the business, outlook. "Powerful forces tori recovery ex ist," he "It is laying a foundation of confidence in. the present and faith in the future that the upturn which we have so far seen will become cumulative. "The cornerstone of this founda tion is the good credit of the Gov ernment. we maintain the' course I have outlined, we can confidently look forward to cumulative beneficial forces represented by increased volume of business, more general profit, greater employment, a dimunition of relief expenditures, larger governmental receipts and repayments, and greater human happiness." It had been pointed out by him earlier in a supplemental talk with newspapermen that the more than ten billion dollars to be spent this fiscal year is not up to the limit authorized by Congress.

Brighter Prespects The results of expenditures al ready made," his message read, show themselves in concrete iorm in better prices for farm commodities, in renewed business activity, in increased employment, in reopening of and restored confidence in banks, and in well organized The prospective seven billion dol lar deficit for this year includes $1, 166,000,000 additional to be asked from Congress for continuing until summer the vast Civil Works Ad ministration and financing the Home Loan Bank System. Mr. Roosevelt told newspapermen he would just as soon have the $2,000,000,000 recovery fund he has asked or next year in a lump sum. If Congress prefers to itemize it, he does want authority to switch funds from one item to another. Relief Necessities His ideas for use of this $2,000, 000,000 next year are, roughly, $500, 000,000 to supplement for the Re construction Finance Corporation; $300,000,000 to continue another year the Civilian Conservation Corps; and $300,000,000 to $800,000,000 for unemployment relief.

"It is clear," said the president, ll "that the necessity for relief and recovery will still be with us during the year 1934 35. Additional relief! bonds will be necessary. "Further needs of the country prohibit the' abrupt termination of the recovery program. "No person can on this date definitely predict the total amount that will be needed, nor the itemizing of such an amount. "It is my best judgment at this time that a total appropriation of not.

to exceed $2,000,000,000 will, with the expenditures still to be made next year out of existing appropria tions, be sufficient" Billions in Loans to." He knows that more cold weather is on the way.
