PAGE TWO |JN WASMNOTONj SPENDING TEN BILLIONS FOR WAR In connection with the increase of 600,000 men in the armed forces of the nation, which means an increase of about forty per cent in its present strength, the President has asked Con gress to appropriate $10,616,976,000 to provide vast new quantities of tanks, aircraft, guns, ships and am munition to meet possible challenges from Communist aggression. The largest item in the rearmament bill is $3,344,600,000 for aircraft. This includes planes for the Air Force and some for the Navy and Marine Corps. For tanks, guns, field artillery, elec tronics and “other major procure ment,” the amount asked is $2,646,- 000,000. For maintenance of plants and fa cilities, “such as tanks, planes, guns and ships,” there is requested $2,504,- 800,000. For military pay, clothing and al lowances, the amount is $1,242,600,000. For high priority construction, re search development, industrial mobili zation and miscellaneous activities and contingencies, the estimate includes $463,976,000. It is interesting to note that for ship construction, the President has requested only $185,000,000. Appar ently, those who direct our defense program believe that we have enough ships on hand to take care of our needs. The total allotment for the Navy is $2,648,029,000. For “ships and facilities,” which apparently means reconditioning some of our “mothball” fleet, the amount allocated is $483,748,000. ' The breakdown for the other De partments includes $3,059,154,000 for the Department of the Army and $4,- 535,400,000 for the Department of the] Air Force. The rest of the total is j taken up to cover contingencies and 1 emergencies that are on the basis of establishment-wide activities. It seems to be generally agreed that the Administration has planned a sub stantial build-up of the armed forces in the fiscal year 1951 in order to be prepared for what was expected to be a critical year in 1952. For some time, high officials have believed that war with Russia might develop in 1952, after that country built up its atomic bomb pile and when, with the end of the five-year European Recov ery Program, the Western nations of Europe would be deprived of substan tial American assistance. It may be pointed out that, in the r See PROOF! You can’t match a | | FRICIDAIRE j • Meter-Miser mechanism \ \ <J • Quickobe Ice Tray* fi*o\ .

This includes procurement of tanks. The conflict ' in Korea has shown up a glaring need for more and larger tanks. It should be understood, of course, in ■ connection with all of the sums re : quested, that the amounts represent '■ amounts in addition to sums already : appropriated and available. ’ WAR CRISIS REQUIRES ' DRASTIC CONTROLS ' There is ground for suspicion that * the Korean crisis may be the initial 5 step in a Russian program designed to conquer the world by force but one • cannot conclude that the Soviet is 3 about to begin its tremendous aggres l sion solely on the basis of the action • of the North Koreans. There is little reason to doubt that ■ the invasion of the Republic of Korea ' was not only launched with the know ledge of the Russians, but also with ■ their tacit approval. The idea might 3 have been to test out the resolution ■ of the democracies and see if, under the provocation of an outright aggres ■ sion, any nation, or group of nations, • would be willing to face the possibility ■ of an all-out war In order to take ■ effective action under the sanction I of the United Nations, or without ac • Despite our inability to come to a definite conclusion as to the future ‘j plans of the Russians, which, as Mr. i Winston Churchill points out, are • known only to the oligarchy in the * Kremlin, there are any number of people in the United States who have • immediately assumed that a world i war is coming, with the result that i there has been a drive to buy articles ' expected to be scarce and a tendency ' on the part of some sellers to boost the price in order to beat the im position of prioe controls. In this situation, the President of ■ the United States has asked Congress for certain powers to meet the eco ] nomic dangers confronting the na j tion but has taken the position that price controls and rationing are not necessary. He has asked for congres sional authority to materials to defense work, curb credit and oth erwise meet economic requirements raised by the Korean war. Mr. Bernard Baruch, who has had some experience with wartime econ omies, insists that procrastination in the effort to limit war profits and curb the wartime profiteer, “will bring as evil results in inflation as they will in far preparedness.” The retired in dustrialist denounces business men ’ who raise prices and hoarders as pro fiteers, and equal enemies of the na tion.
