ing employment to 1,200,000 persons I
in September 1940.
The iron and steel industry, with 1^
1,450,000 employees, maintains its U
lead at the past several years, but
the textile milts ate gradually over
taking it. The food industry, with 1
1,150,000 workers, is in third place,
followed by machinery with 1,070,000.
[ The Conference Board study, copl- J

that In September, 1940, average
hourly earnings in the cotton goods "

were 88.8 cents. Since that time in- "

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? Or I
the public thus tmmindful ot the
aibla wo'ro to for under a tax bad
auirad by the spending of $37,500,1,000
tpnuiHy.
Both the President and the Coo?ss
have given evidence of honest
ire to keep toe expenditure side
4ft, 5 at home we insiJrupcm^e^
( spend thirsty about our pet proj-y
t?. 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.
