Bugs in the Budget Did you know that income of th? leral government for the oextfls? year will be nine times, maybe 1 times, what it was in the boom rlod of 1929? It will be at least van times the receipts the federal veroment had in 1939. Weak nasi it would be, indeed, that could t balance k peacetime budget with > receipt side of the ledger at ormous peacetime highs. Fust to balance the budget during am times, however, is not enough, i must retire debt and reduce res. Looking at another a.-\gle, the leral government wants to spend >re than- four times as much as it 1 in any year of the Thirties, when licit spending was in the habitrning stage. Has it now become ihionable tor our government to tnd all it can get? Have we fortten that the more we spend the nw we met' jf es miiw.' i Pet Prejeets I wa cannot, under favorable conions of high employment and ids, get hold of ourselves long nigh to retire our national debt d cut our taxes, at what future tm do wa expect to deem? <Ie -eur' dgattng w out of hand that Coness cannot gain control ever it?

Economy begins first at Btb; Examine Ererythtag Although the erar has been over toes to spend more in the next cal year alone than was spent dpr{ the whole of World War I Of arse, this is a dangerous era, and one wants,-to hamstring.opt nanal defenses. The whole nation nts the occupation program to iuo Bd. But more efficiency and the ist possible waste at madpower d money should be the Orr of the day. Kb lata as November the War and I v y vcfai Ulicuw were 3UU emtying more than a million civile u. Spending in every department, litary or non-military, should be idied carefully. Everyone knows la easier to keep on spending gov* iment money than to retrench, is is Just as true at the national fenae. Despite warnings of what ly happen, Congress will do well examine these expenditures, rrimming down expenses is not an By task for Congress. Shell's progis will.be made unless the people ike themselves heard. A big and tsteful budget now, carrying with a tax penalty upon the enterprise the people, could do much to st*rt< down hill toward the kind of econiy Russia has. Most Americans, telieve, would rather be allowed to end their own money than have e government spend it for them.
