Much of the criticism is unju fer the servy have been pleading for three yea for such | measures as UMT without much attention being given them. The coup in Czechoslovakia merely served to | arouse popular recognition of the seriousness of lhe deterjoration of American military power. Neverthe- it is impossible to avoid the impression that lhe services themselves have done a certain amount »f lu\'nd"nn" if only for the reason that they had not agreed among themselves until recently on precise 1at they needed. For example, even after Mr. For- restal had echoed President Truman’s request for re- enz increase in authorized strength of the services, he was unable immediately to present draft specific figures. Aside, however, frcm the failure to achieve genuine unification, which must be laid at the doorstep of the defense chiefs themselves, there are several good rea- sons for the apparent milit disjointedness. Ong is the manner in which military budgets have been pre- sented to Congress. Because of pgring by the Bureau of the Budget, they almost never have represented what the persons actually charged with defense deemed essential. This not only has encouraged pad- ding; it also has given Congress a false picture of the considered opinion of the military men. Further- more, there has been widespread misunderstanding of the uses to which the current 10-billion-dollar appro- priation has been put. If American defense is a “hol- low shell reason is that after less, deducting extensive occupation and recruiting costs, relatively little has been left for building up our defense establishment. Out of the 5.9 billion Army-Air Force appropriation, for instance, less than one billion dollars' has been available for meeting Army payrolls as well as planning all new developments This does not mean that the military should now be handed a blank check. There must be careful scrutiny of expenditures, especially since the present request undoubtedly represents only a first installment in military expa: n. The burden of justification is primarily a task for the defense chiefs. But the necessity for reinvigorating our military arm is so clear that every reasonable request the armed forces make is certain to have sympathetic consideration. | Don’t Be Alarmed (Seattle Times) Some neadway is being made in Congress toward reducing Federal expenditures. The House appro- priations bill for the Department of Justice, State and Commerce and for the judiciary is about 84 and a half million dollars below the President’s recommenda- | tions and more than 128 and a half million dollars {below the appropriations for thcse departments for 1948. This was the third 1949 appropriations bill |pased by the House, but the first to show reductions | below 1948 levels. Now as the bill goes before the Senate, the clamor will begin to restore expenditures the House has elimi- |nated or trimmed. At this point the public has a re- ponsibility. If the American people really want cos jof government—and taxes—cut where they can be | cut, they will refrain from joining the hue and cry to undo the good work thc House has done. tment of selective service and had also asked an | legislation and | as has been charged, at least part of the | | has THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—-JUNEAU, ALASKA addition to the defense | APRIL 21 Mrs. Fred Eastaugh Walter McKinnon Mrs. Guy Russo Kenny J.
