Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash BALANCED BUDGET A'group of sixteen Senators and Representatives has issued a call for a balanced budget in the fiscal year starting July 1. The statement points out that “we cannot afford, nor do we need at this time, in view of the widespread opportunities for employment, such things as the biggest public works program in our history, or a general Government expenditure almost twice pre-war 1939." The statement also points out that to the extent that the Government undertakes unnecessary construction the amount of manpower an-* material available for civilian production will be re- | duced. The result can only be to extend the period of shortages of civilian goods and housing, and hence to aggravate the inflationary pressures. The fundamental force making for inflation in this country has been Government deficits. During Feb- ruary, for the first time in many years, income and outgo came into balance, but this appears to be a temporary situation based upon the early payment of taxes due in March. According to the latest official estimate, a deficit of almost $5,000,000,000 is anticipated in the fiscal year 1946-47. This deficit does not include any allowance for various programs, such as that for national health and medical care, the St. Lawrence waterway development, additional subsidies and other | proposals which are currently before the Congress. Any program to balance the Federal budget must start in the first instance with a careful screening of all pro- posals to add new types of spending to the present total. The second step must be a re-examination of all progragms now in effect to determine whether or not ln’ge-scngneconomies can be made in them. National thinking now seems geared to the assump- tion that there is no ‘harm in having a budget deficit even though the economy is operating at boom levels. But if we are to have difficulty in balancing the budget under boom conditions, and we are not to build up Office of any failure or irregularity in the delivery _ ' Curtis and J. D. Teresi, went astray recently because {substanun] surpluses at such times, then it is clear {that even with the present high tax rates substantial | deficits will develop during pericds of smaller activity. |Not only would the tax revenues be lower at such times, but in addition the inevitable demands will be made to spend our way back to prosperity, and un- doubtedly be put into effect. The budget deficit must be converted into a budget surplus as socn as possible if we are to make any headway in the battle against inflation. Only a firm attitude by Congress can achieve | this objective. Pandora’s Box (New York Times) Several hundred papers on atomic energy stiil await publication, and all of them deal with aspects of the work done in deveoping the bomb. Military |orders to suppress cne of these papers, on the effect of slow neutrons on tissues of the body, by Drs. N. J. |ar abstract had already been circulated freely. Drs | Curtis and Teresi confined themselves to new effects iof powerful radiations on the human organism and isaid nothing about the bomb itself or the manner of |its production. Physicians need the information un- | earthed bacause it will be necessary to protect workers ‘from the rays given off in a pile of uranium used ‘Ior the generation of power and because it will give | medicine a new therapeutic weapon. | For the Army it must be said that it adted in the |interest of national security. But what does national ; is?cm'it_v mean?

A shrewd physicist could | tdeduce much of importance from the description given | of the various radicactive isotopes produced when a juranium pile is in action. k The atomic bomb turns out to be a Pandora’s box, | which has so far released more evil than good. When | an atomic energy commission is created, it will bei | presented with the knottiest technical problem of #ur | time. It will have to think in terms of national | security and of social progress. And so will the atomic ‘ | energy commission of UNO. On the decision of both | | bodies rests the future of much scientific research.

It would be good, we | | believe, if some additional examples could be established “ —examples which would prove beyond any shadow of | doubt that removal of controls would drive costs far| above the ability of the average consumer to pay. We would suggest, then, a removal of ceilings of | certain items which the majority of Americans could well do without. We'd take jewelry, shotgun shells, golf balls, radios selling for above $75 and perhaps two | or three other luxuries which, while they are popular, also are limited in availability. After controls were removed, we'd have a close check kept on each item. We'd check the price advance—if any. We'd check to see whether overbuy- ing would increase shortages; whether or not price, | advances would so stimulate production that supply | | would equal demand—and how soon. We'd make all | | every possible information source. 1 We suspect that the results would be convincing. | We suspect that Americans would learn that ceiling | removal would not break shortages in any reasonable time, and that in the interim prices would skyrocket to the point where only the wealthy could buy the items | included in the “free list.” Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) Cleveland here.
