I commend the establishment of NYA and CCC. Aid of education, is the only increase in Federal expenditure I would advocate, and the only tax increase suggested is the increase of inheritance, income and gift taxes and that on a Eraduated basis.

Foreign entanglements should be avoideil a1d profit in war prevented. {over}
