To make this decision we need to consult both the military experts and those who can see our fiscal and national needs as a whole. Until Congress has fuller information, it should be properly suspicious of those among its own who as that their patriotism is in direct proportion to the tonnage of the capital ships or the size of the total defense expendi- tures which they advocate As the budget problem is question of national defense, so it will be involved in most of the other questions that are likely to come before Congress.

There is a difference, however, between the American and the French concept of a balanced budget. By the French definition, our own budget is balanced.

Frenchwomen with hus- bands in the trenches are confronted with the necessity of living on the equivalent of 27 cents a day—which would be out of the question were it not for the fact that the government has suspend- ed rents and forbids the discontinuance of utility service even if only paid for in part. But, obviously, it is only a bare most of its citizens for the duration of the war. The same holds true in all of the nations which are the victims of this n¢ relations and the respective spheres of Federal and local governments in dealing with them. Though the current investigation of the Labor Board may help to give a partial answer to this broader question, a more rounded would be likely to result only from careful and impartial study The facts regard. the effect of the reciprocal trade agreements are reasonably established. The relevant statistics are available and need only to be interpreted by common sense e Administration need have no fear of what any fair study will show.
