The lowest estimate made of Federal expenditures contained in these was $16 billions, the highest $30 billions. Yet the year 1948-49 will be the third year after war, and the President recently asked Congress for $39.7 billions for that twelve-month period. Senator Brewster of Maine finds it a matter of profound regret | “that three years after the war we are able to reduce | our domestic expenditures by such a small amount.” | This regret will be widely shared. Yet it would be a mistake to think of the Federal budget of 1948-49 as a “peacetime” budget in the sense that the budget | | during the war. | comparable. | figure is compared with the number of wage-earners - after the First World War, Government expenditures had fallen to less than 20 per cent of the peak reached But the two situations are far fi At the end of the First World War this country chose to go isolationist. Also Europe, on that earlier- occasion, quickly returned to the ways of peace, or what was believed then to be peace. Thus far by contrast, despite the United Nations, the world has been unable to agree on a formula which justifi a repetition of the Disarmament Conference of 1921 with the financial relief that it Brought to the world No opportunity, needless to say, should be over- looked, despite the surplus of $7.7 billions in sight for the present fiscal vear and the $4.8 billions for the following year, to reduce spending to a minimum. At the same time, we would be deluding ourselves if we were to assume that we were now living in a world at peace and that we could budget our expenditures on such an assumption. Talk (Cincinnati Enquirer) According to the Veterans Administration records, the veteran population of the United States unow stands at an all-time high of 18569,000—of which 14,685,000 are service men or women of World War IT We commend those statistics to the attention of | any politiclans who might wish to seek favor by pre- | ferential treatment of veterans. Eighteen and a half | million sounds like a lot of votes—and is. But if that’ it can be appreciated readily that vet- ANS COMD! a large percentage of the wage-earners, and therefore the taxpayers of the nation. In other words, to a very large degree, the veterans themselves | would have to pay for any supposed largesse the poli- ticians might promise them. This reflection was prompted by a news story in and taxp: formation for a “steamroller drive” (the term being | applied by the sponsors themselves) on the Kentucky | Legislature to pay a bonus to veterans of both World war I and II. The backers evidently figured that they would go a step beyond the precedent of other States and make the proposed bonus payable to veterans of both wars—the idea being that the politica support would be increased proportionately. That remains to be seen. In their status as taxpayers, the veterans of World War I may not be enthusiastic about a tre- mendous outlay of funds (considering that State finances chronically are in & precarious situation) Furthermore, in trying to cover too much ground in their generosity, the bonus sponsors very likely are minimizing the hope of World War II veterans getting | of 1921-22 was a peacetime budget.

Homer Ferguson of Michi- gan is trying to keep the lid on a hot feud that is raging inside his appropriations subcommittee, now supposed to be investigating Sen. Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma and other grain speculators. At a closed-door meeting las week, Sen. Theodore Green o Rhode Island, Democrat, charged that Ferguson lican members were deliberately prclonging the probe so that hear- ings on the speculations of Thom- as, Ed Pauley and White House physician Wallace Graham can be held during the coming Presiden- tial campaign. “At the rate we are going, this' investigation will last until next November,” Green asserted angri- ly. “I'm not in favor of the in- vestigation being used as a politi- cal football.” , [Republican Sen. Willlam Know- land of California, presiding in Chairman Ferguson's absence, de- nied that the G.OP. was trying to get any political advantage ocut of the speculator probe. It would be foolish to start the hearings until the committee has made a full investigation of the market trading of Senator Thomas and others, Knowland argued. “Well, : how long is that going to take?” demanded Green. “How soon can we get st d on the bearings and in what order do we plan to put on witnesses? It's high time we reached a decision about Senator Knowland replied that ne couldn't answer Green'’s ques- tions becatsé mo one knew as . yet how leng the preliminary in- vestigation would take. However, and other Repub-| | man resign—unless the Republican Ccngress adopts a detailed six- | point program: on foreign policy, | taxes, housing, cost of living, race discrimination and social security. The ex-Wisconsin Congressman urges that Truman go before a joint session of Congress and pro- pose that either this basic pro- |gram be adopted or warn that he ill resign on May 6, thus making oe Martin President. This would | then place all responsibility square- ly on Republican shoulders. Note:—McGrath didn't particu- larly like the idea. WORLD DAY OF PRAYER.
