Former President Harry S Truman voiced a truism when he remarked that it’s always a recession until it affects you . . , then it begins to take on what the other fellow has been experiencing all the time ... a depression. Should we accept the former President’s philosophy and abide by it in the case of the soldier's in Viet Nam, a higher regard would be accorded them in our every-day thoughts and acts. The Carolinian and its personnel is no different from all oth ers who somehow are far removed from Viet Nam. In America, North Carolina and Raleigh, we live more or less the same now as we did before Viet Nam, except the heart breaks suffered by those who have lost loved ones in the present war. Many of us would sincerely welcome an opportunity to do something to brighten the spirits of the soldiers on the battlefront There are many things such as cards, letters, pictures, magazines, newspapers, etc. which our boys would enjoy receiving from “home”. Many of u.s who yet have no one on the battle- America’s heavy commitment to the Viet Nam war is a matter of deep con cern to the entire nation, not only be cause it affects the lives and families of our fighting men, but because it is mak ing an impressive impact on the nation’s economy and moat family budgets. The federal government has so far shown lit tle inclination to trim its unprecedented domestic spending. If this policy is con tinued, many fear that mounting war expenditures will be the straw that could break-this country’s economy back. In flationary danger signals are up for all to see, and question* are raised: United States forces are committed in the field and there can be no economy in winning a war. Should not the American people have the best information available as to the cost of that war? How else can they judge the policies of their govern ment in making commitments for spend ing that many consider to be of second ary importance under pm ent condi tions? Considering only the material price of die war, the April issue of Fortune mag azine presents a comprehensive discuss ion of Pentagon policy and war coat. In Fortune's view, the economic impact of the war has really just begun—-there is much more to come. This conclusion is based on the assumption the war will get bigger in terms of men and equip ment. It has been reported, for exam ple, that General William C. Westmore land, U. S. commander in Viet Nam, has indicated in closed Congressional hear ings that a U.S. build-up of 460,000 men. or more, will be needed by the end of December, 1966. With that many men, supported by necessary equipment and supplies, the cost of the Viet Nam war will run s2l billion annually. This fig ure, says Fortune, “ . . . would bring on economic strains beyond what most eco nomists appear to foresee, and beyond what makers of public policy appear to be anticipating. The strains would sure ly add to the pressure for higher taxes.” To provide a basis for looking beyond imMBBi ■ anik> oasssss** ’ ■ f | s<>.

We are sure a former resident of Smith field Street. Biltmore Hills, Martin, Tar boro, Bledsoe or Cannon Streets or any other place in Raleigh, would be made happy and tearfully joyous should we forward a CAROLINIAN to them for several weeks if no longer. In an attempt to place The Carolin ian in the hands of some of our boys from North Carolina, the management will mail free of mailing charges any copies of which we are supplied the names and addresses of any soldiers in Viet Nam. So lets get the news going to Viet Nam so that our boys may know what’s going on here. It will be like a weekly letter from home. In this small way, you will be helping to give a “lilt” to one who is already one of our most deserving benefactors of liberty, democ racy and freedom. Let’s make the mail heavy with CAR OLINIANS so that our men in uniform may enjoy news from “home”. the current budget and assessing the po tential economic effects of the war, For une points out that: “In the early phases of any war, the Defense Department can hold down expenditures by drawing up on existing forces and supplies, just as a . . . family can cut next month’s grocery bill by eating up the contents of the pantry. Later on in the war, expenditures catch up with costs.” Fortune predicts that the war in Viet Nam is nearing this point. It is calculated that it currently costs $11.9 billion annually to sustain the war and 200.000 U. S. servicemen in South Viet Nam-—a level reached last February. The defense budget for fiscal 1967 ($58.3 billion) includes only $10.3 billion for Vietnamese war expenditures. As war expenses begin to take their toll, Secretary of Defense McNamara could cut further into defense programs not di rectly connected with the war, but choices for deferring expenditures in ,95" have already largely been exhaust ed in the “economy" drive of the last couple of years. The Defense Department, meanwhile, has based its requests for war appropria tions upon what a Pentagon official calls “calculated requirements” —calculating how far ahead you have to order an item in order to have it when you need it. This coincides with McNamara’s policy of buying at the last possible moment to avoid “overbuying” and a huge surplus at war’s end. Although the tactic has merit, it does imply that requests for ad ditional sums could come up at any time. Thus, requests for Vietnamese war ex penditures in the 1967 budget barely be gin to suggest the level of spending that lies ahead. In conclusion. Fortune states that, “There is likely to be mounting as tonishment this year and next as the bad news about the war’s costs and the im plied message about taxes and inflation sink in. It’s a good bet that Americans will still consider the war worth winning. There is no reason for them not to know its cost.” He began his national footbali league career with the Los An geles Rams in 1958, later play ing with the Philadelphia Eagles.

All the outrage, all the Indigna tion, all the boiling anger we can summon will be of no value unless they produce aption to correct this defect in the law.
