And that was in a year when President Truman was assuring the nation that he was attempting to reduce the cost of government wherever possible and give the people economical ad- ministration. In his economic report to the nation, the President served notice that his administration has embarked on a new course of deficit financing in a period of | declining prosperity. The plan to add 50,000 to 55,- 000 new emplovees to the Federal payroll to administer Mr. Truman’s social security and medical insurance programs thus would add further burdens to the na- tional economy at a time when normal financial pro- cedure would call for economies, not added expendi- tures. recognized throughout the country as the only noss.bi solution to the problems of our too-big government and our over-burdened taxpayers. And his services as a humanitarian should be suf- ficient reason to recognize his greatness. For more than thirty years he has devoted himself to official and extra-official agencies of a humanitar- ian nature. During both world wars he undertook the tremendous task of feeding starving people in all parts of the world. During the first world war he was chairman of the American Relief Committee in London, of the Belgian Relief Committee was national food admin- istrator. Such jobs continued.
