RED INK.

The moment that red ink ap-
pears in the ledger of a govern
ment or an individual it is a
trouble warning. Trouble remains
as long as the red ink remains.
although there may be Legitimate
reasons for accepting the red ink
as the lesser Of two evils. as i'll the
case of our defense program.
Nevertheless. red ink spending
and red ink financing are a dang
er signal to be needed.
This country was having trou-
bile long before defense became
an issue. According to the ledger
it has not been out OF trouble in
ten years. Red ink has predomin-
ated for a decade. In other words.
for all these years we have had to
lean on the future to support us
in the present. The fact that this
cannot continue as a permanent
policy is dimmed by the equally
obvious fact that it has continu-
ID for a long time with no appar-
ent i'll effect Every industry.
every business. every financial
and statistical service has accept
ed Governments periodic "con-
tribution to buying power as an
integral part of the economic sys-
tenn. For example, Federal deficit
financing in July, pumped Tor
contributed:) S329.6OO,OOO into
the pockets OF the American peo-
pie. Largely overlooked is the
TACT that this contribution to
;uying power" must come out OF
the peoples pockets. for that is
The only place government gets
money.
The present world crisis makes
il necessary that we spend bill
lions OF red ink dollars to defend
ourselves against aggression. But
ii we lose sight of the grim fact
that as long as red ink dollars arc
being used. we are in trouble,
then we are truly living on bor-
rowed time as well as borrowed
cash. Enforcement of thrift and
efficiency and elimination OF
waste in governmental affairs are
Al integral part OF defense and
the only cure for red ink dollars.
