SPENDING TEN BILLIONS
' FOB WAR' '
In connection with tie increase of
600,000 men in' the armed forces of
the nation, which mmim nn iimmjuia
. of about forty per cent "In its present
strength, the President has asked Con
gress to appropriate 110,516,976,000
to "provide vast new quantities of
tanks, aircraft, jruns, ships and am
munition to me possible challenges
from Communist iaggmaon. "',
The largest item in the rearmament
bill is $3,344,600,0q0 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. "T
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 pur
"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
taken up to cover contingencies and
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-venr Kurnnenn Ttoi-mr.
ery. Program, the Western nations of
Europe would he deprived of substan
tial American assistance..'"...
It may be pointed out that, in the
estimate, for 'the Army, the largest
item is $1,438,221,000 for ordinance
service and supplies, v 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
auested. that the amounts re tire sent
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
step in a Russian program designed
to conquer the world by force but one
cannot conclude that the Soviet is
about to begin its tremendous aggres
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
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
of the United Nations, or without ac-
Despite our inability to come to a
definite conclusion as to the future
plans of the Russians, which, as Mr.
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
war is coming, with the result that
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 price 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
tion but has taken the position that
price controls and rationing are not
necessary. (He has asked for congres
sional authority to channel materials
tc defense work, curb credit and oth
erwise meet economic requirements
raised by the Korean war.
Mr. . Bernard Baruch, who has had
seme 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
immorality to call young men to the
Our military reverses, in Korea and
the reports of atrocities committed by
(North Korean troops have developed
demands in this country that we use
the atomic bomb. i,w ,
The military experts say there are
convincing reasons why an atomic
bombardment should not be employ
ed. In the first place, we do not have
enough bombs to bomb more import
ant objectives, if necessary, much less
waste them in an area that does not
include large cities of great industrial
sufficient size or importance to war
rant the use of an atomic bomb from
a military standpoint. In addition,
there are psychological reasons that
caution against its use because mil
lions of people in Asia would become
alienated and there might be- a con
siderable segment of world public
opinion to brand the United 'States as
an aggressive power.

This sentiment is widespread in the
United States and there are numerous
complaints about price increases and
the hoarding of goods. Consequently,
a growing movement exists in Con
gress to impose wage and price con
trols and perhaps, rationing. The ob
jective is, of course, to permit all
Americans to share equally in avail
able goods and to curb inflationary
tendencies immediately.
With congressional opinion divided
as to a mandatory -roll-back of prices,
advocates of immediate action sug
gest that the President be given price
wage control and rationing powers on
a stand-by basis. It is recalled that
the President asked Congress several
times during the inflationary period,
just after the war ended, to provide
such authority. Even this suggestion
fails to secure anything like unani
mous support but Senator Ralph E.
Flanders, of Vermont, who does not
think that the present emergency
warrants drastic action, points out
that "there's another emergency show
ing up."
Mr. Flanders says that "consumers
have lost their heads and started
hoarding. Business men have lost
their heads and started raising prices."
Should this lack of control continue,
he adds, "and lead us into the trap
of a new price-wage spiral," the ap
plication of rigid controls will "become
imperative."
We give above the general-round-up
of the views exprsesed on price-wage
controls and rationing because, we
think, the people of this country are
willing to have such controls if they
are necessary to prevent hoarding,
profiteering and the making of enor
mous profits out of the war emergency
of the nation. We thoroughly agree
with Mr. Baruch as to the "immorali
ty" involved in calling men to the
colors to be killed and wounded in
battle, while selfish citizens are left
at home to reap unearned, unjustified
and unsuspected profits.
