30 or 40 million of it; you won't have to

FDR memo to heads of exec. depts., etc., asking
for careful survey of expenditure requirements
63
for remaining months of fiscal yr. 1937, with a

Haas, Bell 4/12/37
64: 111
a) Magill reports 193 wealthy individuals
in 6 districts report 13% more net income
for '36 and 1% more dividends; Magiklixthinks
on mathe large corporations which were widely held,
there was an increase in the dividend and credit
which they took of only 11%, and in the large corps.
which were closely held, there was an increase of
47% in dividends; HMJr thinks they should he about
double
Miss
b) Haas reports on conf. with/Wetherton, etc.,
from Helvering's office; HMJr had requested
this since Helvering goes to FDR and gives
him entirely different picture
114

64
c) Magill reports net reduction in actual
receipts as against estimates for '37
is 594.5 million; HMJr has consistently
told FDR we'd be off between 5 and 6
hundred million dollars and FDR has
consistently said 350
d) HMJr feels that Helvering has played
absolutely square; simply gave an estimate
to FDR "but of the air" when FDR asked him 117
Joe Kennedy comes in while HMJr is lunching with

apparently unwittingly HMJr has "gotten

"which group does it 80 long as we get results,
namely, balancing the budget now"
13
d) HMJr sees, more and more clearly, that just
as - long as Fed. Res. follows policy of
selling short-term securities in order to get
money with which to buy bonda, they will continue
to drive up short-term interest rates, which
seems to have effect of also increasing long-term
interest rates and thus push down long-term
bond market ; only way to stop this conatant
fall in bond market is for them to stop this
process and kain open market operations, thus
increasing their portfolio; this they have
- refused to do to date
