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

I estimate for the Army, the largest'
item is $1,438,221,000 for ordinance
service and supplies. 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. He says: “It is the height of
