MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS HERE WE GO AGAIN An item in yestcrday’s paper carried the an- nouncement that 1800 members of the Brotherhood of and Enginemen will go on strike m., halting trains of the Illinois Locomtive Fire n August 24 at 12:01 a Central. Just a few paragraphs away on the page was a report from Germany. It said that now the war in the Pacific is over no more troops from Europe will be shipped off to fight in the Pacific and five divisions will be on their way home within a month We wonder how many of these boys will be stranded without transportation on their way home come August 24 ard we also wonder how their fam- ilies will take such a strike. Apparently, all the end of the war meant to this particular union was that its members could now go on strike—to heck with those who want to ride on the trains, whether they're soldiers on their way home or tourists on a pleasure trip, At any rate, this is a forecast of what America can probably expect during the months to come. While hundreds and thousands of contractors—their war work brought to an abrupt end—will be strug- gling to convert factories to ihe production of goods for peace and by so doing give jobs to millions of war workers who will need going to be hampered by labor unrest and strikes. Naturally this will mean more unemployment and Manager | Dave been built Managing Editor Business Manager | Second Class Matter, dvance, $15.00; six months, in advance, $7.50; Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for | 7 of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- dited in this paper and also the local news published | | or $15,000,000,000 less than the total in the year which jobs, their efforts are| |than normaily and some manufacturers who have I made a good stake during the war may feel like closing | up shop for a while themselves. | At any rate, because of a wartime high rate of t ‘vnmln)'mrn( reserves for unemployment compensation L up to comfortable figures and the workers won't starve.

New Budget Estimates (New York Times) Despite the cutbacks in war production sched- | uled, the revised Federal budget for the fiscal year | 1945-46 estimates total expenditures at $85,288,000,000, ended June 30, 1945. diverse trends. Thus, the cost of war activities is xpected to decline by $20,000,000,000 but this will be offset in part by an increase in other costs. Interest on the public debt, veterans' pensions and benefits, | contributions to finance Bretton Woo and the Im-| | port-Export Bank and the cost of the regular civilian departments will account for a $5,000,000,000 increase |in expenditures. | The Federal deficit is expected to be $46,281,000,- 000, or only slightly less than that in the last fiscal year. In fact, the estimated deficit will be about $5,000,000,000 larger than that expected when the budget estimates were submitted to Congress last January. This increase in the estimated deficit is| due to a small decline in revenues resulting from the refunds of corporation taxes recently authorized by | Congress, and to the new commnfitments involved in connection with Bretton Woods and the Import-Export Bank. Since the estimates are based on the assump- tion that the Japanese War will continue until the end of the fiscal year, an earlier ending would mean a considerable revision. These new estimates underline the fact that infla- tion is still the major threat. Experience has indicated clearly that the huge sums required to meet this deficit will come in part from the banks. The reliance upon the banks may even become larger than in the past, because individuals probably will become more | reluctant to buy bonds when war production cutbacks take the inevitable toll of their incomes, while cor- porations will find it more difficult to equal the record subscriptions in past drives if their funds are required for reconversion activities. Budget Director Harold Smith has summarized our immediate problem admirably in hi that “Next to beating the Japs, reconve! biggest problem we have left. The more produ(-tionl we can get the less trouble we will have in main- | taining economic stabilization.” Barriers to reconver- sion must be removed speedily wherever this can be done without interfering with war production. New barriers in the form of excessive rigid price poli accompanied by policies which raise costs of produc- tion must not be created. Such actions will feed the fires of price inflation while retarding the expansion | in civilian supplies which can place the most effetcive | damper on that fire.
