THE BUDGETS
CLOSED SEASON
(WaIl Street JOurnaD

Nobody. - we'll, hardly anybody - is
talking these days of what defense spend
ing is to do to the national budget, an
institution already monumentally one
sided. We must have national security
and we must have it as soon as we can
possibly make it. It's cost, so long as its
cost is honestly governed, is secondary.
Nobody likes to talk about that now.
But some day after the nones of Nov
ember it will have to be talked about and
acted upon. 1t will then be necessary to
prepare the budget with some logical
reference to the order of urgency and
immediacy in which the national objec-
tives stand 1t will be for Congress to
determine whether and in what measure
the continuance of non-defense eXpendi-
lures on the scale to which the country
has become accustomed can be reconciled
with safe and trustworthy national fin
ance.
AS has been indicated, we are in a clos
ed season for budget discussion. Yet
Henry A. Wallace. advising the voters of
Minnesota on the state of the Union and
what to do about it, says that when world
peace comes our government will have to
make large expenditures TO take up the
slack in industry resulting from the re-
lease of employees In the defense INDUS
tries. If his purpose in saying that is to
accustom his hearers to the idea of con-
tinued great expenditures from the Fed
eral Treasury if his ticket is elected, it
is understandable But this style of elec-
tioneering ignores the nearer fact that
the defense program will be pursued for
several years whether peace comes to Eu
rope or not and that defense spending
may be expected to take up temporarily
a great deal if not all of the present
slack" in the industrial machine, the
slack being unemployment and the low
volume of private capital investment If
government spending on defense takes
up no slack, government spending for
other purposes will not do so in the fu
ture any more than it has in the past
Mr.. Wallace only makes it palmer than
it was before that rational discussion of
public spending must await the winter
unless the Republican candidate can get
closer to the brass tacks of it than does
Mr.. Wallace.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-09-20

Hundreds of thousands of young
Americans will soon be breaking the
ties of home and ordinary life and
begin learning how to defend their
country.
We say, glibly, this is the first
time the United States ever con-
scripted men in time of peace. -
And that is true.
But there is nothing basically
new about the step that is being
taken. The "details, the technique,
are new. The principle is old. 1t is
simply that every able-bodied citi-
zen has an obligation. to defend
his country.
1t has always been so. In the
frontier days, to which orators SO
wistfully refer, it was so. When some
isolated post on the edge of the
western woods heard rumors of
an Indian rising, what happened?
Every able-bodied man got his gun
and began to drill and organize de-
fense Of the stockade. True, they
were not conscripted. except as the
very real and powerful public opin-
ion of their fellows conscrioted
them. But the danger was real and
imminent, and every able-bodied
man automatically looked to his
powder-horn and squirrel rifle.
In Revolutionary days, the Min
ute Men were organized. Above
every mans fireplace there hung the

The WRONG WAY
Nevada State JournaD

Before congress adjourns more will be
heard under the head of ''conscription
of wealth" Thinking that the American
people do not understand finance and
tax questions, some politicians see a
golden chance for furthering their own
political interests by contendng that if
the country's young men are to be con-
scrpted for military service, the coun-
trys wealth should at the same time be
conscripted by the government to pay
preparedness bills.
A 3 to 1 majority of the senate side
tracked proposal on a point of order,
when the selective service bill was under
consideration, to force all private re-
serves of cash into one per cent govern
ment loans. The point of order was
taken on the ground that the proposal
was revenue measure and should origi-
nate in the house.
Several billions of private cash, mainly
the property of depositors in banks, are
now loaned to the government on short
term loans at very low rates. If all cash
reserves were forced into low rate gov
ernment loans the effect would be dam
aging to industry and business. Those
without bank deposits, who are depen-
dent on business or industry for their
livelihood, would feel the effect more
than those whose wealth would be prac-
tically confiscated.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-09-20
WHERE WILL 1T END?

Most depressing remark by any public
figure in recent days was the prediction
by Henry A. Wallace, Democratic vice
presidential nominee, that billions of
dollars of federal money will be needed
to take up the slack when the current
re-armament program has passed its
peak.
The re-armament program is creating
jobs because of billions of dollars of fed
eral money thrown into building arms and
training men. The taxpayers are paying
for thSt program.
If billions more are going to be needed
to take up the slack" when the present
billions have been spent we can look for
ward to no relief whatever in our tax
bills for the rest of our lifetimes. Can't
the United States, with all its resources,
do better than that by the people? We
think it can.

AFTER A GLANCE AT
THIS MAN WIllKlE

Random thoughts after seeing, ana
hearing, Wendell l.. Willkie at San Diego:
He's not good speaker-more like an
ordinary chap called upon suddenly TO
talk four or five times a day to crowds
ranging from four or five hundred TO
twenty or thirty thousand. Over the
radio, that may tell against him. To those
who see and hear him in person, 1t un-
doubtedly will swing the balance in his
favor.
His sincerity shows in every gesture, in
every tone of voice. Maybe he's right
maybe he's wrong-but you're left with
no doubt whatever that he thinks he's
right, and he's willing to let the verdict
rest on the business of his opinion.
Some people, reading news accounts
of Wilkes speeches, have complained
that his too-apparent aggressiveness, his
bitter attacks against the New Deal, are
too aggressive and too bitter. That's
dirty trick the written word plays on
him. Actually, as he delivers the words,
they seem neither aggressive nor bitter.
They are, rather, forceful and an hon
est expression of his opinions.
Most astonishing thing of all about
the man is his split-second reply to
hecklers When a man in the audience
shouts, 1--WE want Roosevelt" his reply
comes before the last syllables of the
heckler's words have died And the reply
renders the heckler mute for the rest of
the session When another listener chal-
lengeS him to prove a point, the proof he
offers without a moments hesitation
leaves that questiOner, too, silent for
the duration of the evening.
No evaluaton of Wendell Willkie would
be complete without a mention of Mrs.
Willkie. Utterly charming-they say if
she becomes First Lady she will be the
prettiest of them all, with the possible
exception of Dolly Madison-she is SO
retiring you wonder how they ever got
her out in front of the crowd. Then you
watch while her husband is speaking, and
you know Her eyes seldom leave him.
When he has trouble with word, she
winces. When the applause is so deafen-
ing it browns out his voice, she smiles
proudly. 1t is not the smile of a woman
anxious to become First Lady 1t is the
smile of a woman who says to herself:
"See what a grand man my husband isl"
And most of the crowd, after listening,
will agree He may not become president
but whether he does or not, you'll remem-
Der for a long time what a grand guy he
seemed to be.

The trouble with us Americans
lately is that we have imported
too many ideas and fears from
Europe.
We have allowed our intellec-
tuals to bring overseas the words
Capital and Labor and the great
servitudes behind them and apply
them to a universally hard-Work-
ing people. The Yankee sea cap
tain used to be the sailor who
worked hardest of all the crew.
The sea captains wife used to be
able to do a big washing and IRON
ing and mending and then put on
silks and go to parties in the
evening. She was a new kind OF
lady in civilization.
The children of that captain and
his wife are still here. The vast
majority of Americans still work
their way, whatever estates they
may inherit. Most Americans who
go to college now work their way
through as surely as their fathers
did when they came driving their
estate on the hoof. in yoke of
oxen, to the college door. And
those who have tried to persuade
us that there is one set of Amerl-
cans who work and another who
sit back and live off the fat of the
land and the sweat of others de-
serve to be hanged.
For if they talk long enough
there will arise bricklayers and
farmers whose sons will remain
bricklayers and farmers and not
go on to become Presidents and
doctors who will breed sons good
at laying brick and farming again
We have let foreign ideas about
the stigma of labor come in. The
hammer and sickle belong to us
as symbols. not to Russia. The
beehive and the beaver belong on
our state papers instead of the
Roman bird of prey that happens
to be there. Our Great Seal ought
to be an ear of Indian corn. For
we have grown great by sweat and
sweet toll in the burrows and shops.
We ought to remember we are
sons of shopkeepers, be proud of
it, ard work and grow tough in
our muscles and minds once more.
We have allowed a few snobs TO
talk about racial superiority in a
country built in its beginning and
through its history out of score
of different nationalities and strong
with the strength of the best in
them all.
What we need TO do is to re-
cover our old solitude, our old
assurance. and great pride. We
need to get back TO our fathers
belief that any man who works
hard and stands up straight and
Independent and bosses his own
soul, no matter what race he comes
from, is worth all the machines
and kingdoms and theories of state
craft in the world. Faith in hard
working manhood is what we have
grown by. If we keep that faith.
Democracy will be safe from all
the buzzards of Fascism and Nazism
and Communism on the face of the
earth. For those buzzards feed
on carrion, where the people are
dead or marked for death. Where
peope are really alive they are
never found
Let's be Americans again.
