Keeping the Wolf

We walk among billions of

But surely the best solution when

in the direction of finding your
out into the open again.
The Feneral spending situation

Here’s the story in its main

Non-military spending will

other seven billion dollars.

this basis, non-military spending will
absorb almost 80 per cent of federal
revenues. .,
Thus the problem is posed.
have plumped for adequate defense,
and the public is willing to pay for it.
But coupled with this, the American
people have .the right to expect an
almost hairshirt economy in the
regular operations of government.
Improved business conditions, a rising
national income, should relieve some
of the pressure of “emergency” spend¬
ing, so roundly advocated in previous
11 bad times”. More of federal
revenues
will be needed to help pay the big
defense bill.
Little Red Riding Hood, the A men
can public, can reasonably demand of
her elected guardians, the Congress
and officials of our government, that
the elementary safeguard of placing
a rein on civil expenditures should be
observed. If something of the sort
is not done, the Rig Bad Wolf of
inflation and fiscal uncertainty is
likely to put in his unwelcome appear¬
ance.
Time to Choose
A recent authoritative study listed
114 categories of noil-defense federal
spending for the fiscal year 1942 in
which there had been an aggregate
growth of $3,665,197,000 since 1932.
That three and a half billion figure is
pretty striking, but perhaps even more
interesting is the number of specific
categories in which increases have
been necessary.
If the reader will think back to the
start of the past decade of heavy
spending, he will recall that dozens of
new government enterprises were in¬
stituted or greatly expanded because
the times were bad." The implica¬
tion was that as long as the economic
machine was in low gear, the govern
ment must spend more in order to
safeguard flic welfare of Hs citizens.
A lot of the spending seemed pretty
oblique in accomplishing this pur¬
pose, but most Americans accepted
the principle in good faith.
It was a natural extension of the
argument for this increased
that when business got better and the
whole national income rose,
would be less need for it. The
rent figures show that the theory
ret been carried over into practice.
Today, with our defense needs
ing our spending program to
not even equalled in World War
it surely is imperative that
in directions which were marked
as “temporary” should at least
carefully reviewed and cut
possible. If every small new
of government inevitably must
to bureaucratic proportions, that
may prove to be a fatal weakness
could eventually destroy
itself.
It r . '* not , mappropnate . to pent
that the $3,065,197,000 in increases
those 114 categories would have
for 72 new battleships, or 210
cruisers, or 1,264 submarines. And
not even controversial to say
we must soon make our choice
tween defense and other real
on the one hand and
spendmg on the other hand.
the best time for this choice to
is ri£ht now!
