...with the moderate words of his Congressional message (see p. 12). He also let it have a little sugar when his Congressional leaders promised restive Representatives that they should have a chance to vote on prepayment of the Bonus. For three days he put off throwing his 1936 budget message over the Congressional back and cinching it up under the Congressional belly...
...appointed Donald Richberg chief horse wrangler. Except for direct requests for appropriations, which will clear as usual through the Bureau of the Budget,* all other Administration measures must hereafter clear through the Industrial Emergency Committee or the National Emergency Council. This meant that only Mr. Richberg, head of both bodies, could stamp a bill as an official Administration measure. The purpose of this new arrangement was to avoid such situations as occurred last year when different Cabinet members sent conflicting bills to Congress, all as Administration measures. Now when the Congressional colt begins to buck, there will be no chorus...
...soften the inevitable shock of saddling his colt President Roosevelt called in the White House newshawks for an explanation of his budget. Each had to go to the Treasury, sign his name to an oath of absolute secrecy before he was handed a copy of the President's budget message, a copy of the 900-page budget.

The new ships will bring the United States up to treaty strength in accordance with the Vinson Act passed by Congress in the former session...
...true spirit of generosity marks the executive acts of Mr. Roosevelt. Our budget will increase the federal deficit to $4,869,000 this year, but the President is big enough to disregard that. With Midas-like magic, everything he touches turns to gold, and in this new gift to the admirals he has more than justified the epithet of "The Great Giver." Roosevelt can be sure that the United States Navy will be deeply appreciative of his munificence. Bigger and better battleships, more sailors, a new awakening of enthusiasm for the Navy are bound to result...
