is that it leaves him margin so he may be lenient with those DOT tions of the budget for which he has shown special favor in recent years - notably the Navy and Army.
 AS an example, he trimmed a slug off farm benefits a couple of years ago and suggested that Congress could put it back only if it was willing to raise the ex- tra money by taxation. The con- gressmen didn't raise the money but did put back the appropria- tion-and the President has been punishing them verbally ever since.
 Take individual appropriations the point is clearer For the old time services of the Department of Agriculture such as extension work, inspection, experiment sta tions, and the like about S391.- 100000 is needed But the Depart ment of Agriculture appropria- tion last year was $1,289, ,OOO ,0OO. Where did it all go to, and why can't some be cut off?
 Well, $654,560,0OO -two-thirds of a billion-Went out as soil conservation and benefits or par ity payment to cotton growers, tobacco growers, corn and wheat growers, and farmers in general. In an election year do you ex- pect Mid-western senators and house members or those from the cotton and tobacco belt, or the trans-Mississippi wheat stat es to vote for cutting that figure, If you think so you have never seen a congressman in the flesh.
 Congress cut the emergency re lief appropriation last session, but even then it reached the

somewhat staggering sum of .S1, ,750, 100000. That's barely half what 1t has been at times. Con- gresS is more likely to increase that sum even for this year, than to cut it.
 Take the next item, the vet erans' administration appropria- tion of $561, ,093,000. That sum, too, will increase, not decrease. Have you heard of anyone argu- ing for a reduction of the CCC? That cost $295,0OO,O0O this year.
 How about the Army, It got $531 ,940,000 in 1889, and the sum was jacked up to $742,058, ,0OO for the current 1940 fiscal year. The President has already asked an other $118,000,O0O to pay for in- creasing the Army immediately. Moreover, only a small amount of the total cost of the new air program has been covered by ap propriations. Unless the program is stopped in mid-air (nice pun, suh), more cash must come.
 The Navy got $625, 100000 in 1889 and $778, 188,0O0 in 1940. To pay for ships already started more must come next year. The Presi dent has Jumped additional army and navy needs into a fiat half billion. That will mean ar even two billion for defense Want to cut it?
 You can't make dent in sucf figures by firing a few dozen set retaries. If you put your finger on a single one of those appro priations likely to be cut by the coming Congress we will be glac to send you a picture of the pres dent laughing up. this sleeve.

U. S Budget Is Like Yours It Simply Can't Be Cut

WASHINGTON-Out of a con ternplated national budget of nine billion dollars Count 'em), it seems as if Congress ought to be able to chisel off a couple of billion at least. But when you begin looking at the budget - item by item you can't escape the conclusion that there will NOT be much trimming.
 The congressional heart is pro- hably as hard as any other heart in the mass. But the compression al heart is never confronted by the budget in the mass. It is con fronted by it piecemeal. And the congressional heart, section by section, melts. The long odds are that, in the coming session of Congress the mass heart will melt again piecemeal, and there will be no cutting down of ap- propriations.
 Congress can always make a show and demonstrate that it cut the budget-but that claim is al ways publicity cheat. The bud get is what the various depart ments ask for. As a matter of well-established practice they al ways ask more than they expect to get, although they will defend every dollar as essential to the continued national existence.
 The President gets first chance at cutting the budget. He, too, is a past master at doing 1t the skillful way. More than one con- gressman will tell you that the president does his heavy trim ming in items which he expects congress will put back. The idea
