Cost of a Balanced Budget

The permanent costs apparently
involved in the program of defense
now taking shape will be $780,
100000 annually for material re-
placement and S3.000,000,0 900 for OPP
Grafton. or total of $4,000, 900, 600
If the later decision is for an army
of 100000 instead of 1000, 600
men, the cost would corresponding
ly be reduced But even $780,
100000 for defense. added to the
subsidies to agriculture and the ris-
ing expenses of social security, to-
gether with support for increasing
government activity in other direc-
tons, will assure cash outflow of
between s10000,000,000 and S12,-.
100000 annually.
Back in 1882, Congress was told
that this nations budget of govern
mental expenditures could be bal
anced if only taxes could be found
to raise S5,000,000,000 in revenue.
BY 1898, Congress was being advised
that government finances could be
brought into balance if only taxes
would be found to raise $4,000, 000,-
300 in revenue. Now Congress is
advised that the long-sought bal
ance between outgo and income is
going to require taxes capable of
producing $4,000, 100000 each year.
Five years were required to in
crease tax revenue to the 1882 goal
and five more years are being re-
quired to approach the recent goal
0f S1 mn 000 00la in rpventln Whnr,
or where. $4,000, 100000 will be
found remains a mystery.
The recognized result of this stu
alton is that balanced budget will
continue to be an elusive goal that
may or may not be reached in the
future

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
REGARDING CONSUMPTION

Is to 20 and older men from As to So
years?
A.--Their training would be linn
tied to such home defense units
as Congress later provides. (War
department spokesman said these
groups might not be registered I'M
til later
Q.-Would conscientious objec-
tors" be exempted?
A.-They would be required to
register and, if the Justice depart
ment approved their claims, would
be assigned to such training or du-
ties as found compatible with their
beliefs.
Q.-Would any men be exempt
from registration?
| Ayes, Men now in the Army,
active National Guard, Navy, Mar
ines, officers reserve and other
armed forces and diplomatic repre-
sentatives of foreign governments.
| Q-Would any men be exempt
from training and service?
| Ayes. Members of Congress
/ and top-ranking officials of Fed
eral and state governments would
be given deferred" status while in
office.
Q.-What pay would conscripts
receive?
A.-The same base pay as lowest
rank in the Army and Navy, or $21
a month. II the trainees were pro-
NOTED, the pay would increase.
Q.-Would men called to training
get their jobs back?
A.-The Senate committee hopes
to accomplish this by declaring it an
unfair labor practice" for an en-
ployer to fail to rehire drafted
man when he completed training
Federal government workers would
be assured return of their jobs
Q.-What are penalties for draft
lodging" or false registration?
A.-Conviction by Federal court
could bring five years in prison and
fine of $4,000. Men subject tc
training would face penalties I'M
I der military court martial.
Q.-What would happen after
completing one years training?
| A.-The trained man would be as
signed to the reserve, subject tc
additional annual training for lC
years or until he reaches As. He
could avoid additional annual train
ing by serving two more years in
the regular army or National Guard
Q.-Who would administer the

basis of taxes voted and now to be
voted. the treasury in the future
may realize an income of $4,000. 000,-
600. This leaves a big gap still to
be filled before outgo and income
reach anywhere near a balance. 1t
means that taxation is going to be
with the United States as problem
for many years to come.
Neither Representative Doughton,
whose committee must initiate all
taxation proposals, nor the White
House. which recommends taxes,
has any idea at this time of pro-
posing system of taxation suf
ficiently drastic to bring federal
government finances under control
Both appear to believe that the peo-
pie of this country are unwilling to
pay the cost of government at to-
DAYS level. To raise $4,000. 000,-
900 through taxation would require
rate raises in the tax on income
that would startle taxpayers. A
balanced budget. too, would clash
with the New Deal theory that a
deficit is desirable 50 long as indus

as there are large numbers of work
ers in the ranks of the unemployed
Prospect for future reduction in
government spending continues to
be dim. Reasons are several.
One is the fact of a coming rise,
of increasing proportion, in old age
insurance payments. These pay
ments in a few years will reach
81 ,000 100000 and eventually will
reach 100000, even if the ex-
isting system is not broadened.
A second is the fact of new pres
sure for increase in direct and in
direct farm subsidies growing from
the dislocations in American agri-
culture that are going to come from
the present war, regardless of its
outcome.
Third is the probability of large
scale military expenditures for many
years to come Even if war is avoid
ed the world that lies ahead OBJ
viously is to be an armed world.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-In case
you have been worrying about
Uncle Sam drafting you, here are
the answers to some of your ques-
tons. based on the bill as approved
by the Senate Military committee.
Q-What is the purpose of the
legislation?
A-The Senate bill is titled ito
protect the integrity and institutions
of the United States through sys-
tenn of selective compulsory military
training and service"
Q-Why is it needed?
A-War department spokesman
say the present voluntary system of
enlistment will not provide enough
manpower quick enough to handle
the increased national defense ma
chinery already voted by Congress.
Opponents of the bill deny or ques-
ton this.
Q.-Who would have to register?
A.-Probably men between IS and
So years, inclusive.
Q.-Who could order registration
and tr.ining?
A.-The President would decide
the age groups who would be re-
quired to register and the numbers
of men who would be trained.
Q.-What age groups would be
called first?
A.-The bill provides that men
from 81 to 80, inclusive, would sup
ply the first conscripts, with later
groups coming from men from 81
to A, inclusive.
Q-How many men would be
trained2
Army officials said they
would call between 100000 and
100000 conscripts October | from
the 2l-30 age group. On next April
another 100000 conscripts would
be drafted from the elias group.
Next October, as the first group
completed years training, third
group of 100000 would be called
This program would be speeded up
in case of an emergency.
Q.-How would the conscripts be
selected?
A.-Local selection boards, SINH
lar to those used under the World
war draft law, would classify men.
Men with families or dependents,
men in industries important for
national defense, or those physical
ly disabled would be given deferred
status. Other selections would be
by lot

The Tax Bill
We Now Foce
fThe United States News)

Cost of government once again
is Skyrocketing. This time. arma-
ment provides the cause. Last time,
social security and work relief
touched off the rise in costs. Be-
fore that, farm subsidies ard the
whole idea of pump printing had
fixed the trend.
A national government that 10
years ago paid out So, 300, 900. 900 in
cash and five years ago was paving
out 100000. in cash now will
pay out Sl2.000,000, in the year
that started July |. Each new out
flow of government cash rests up
on the flow already under way. with
few signs that any expenditure,
once started, ever contracts per-
ceptibly
Ten years ago, agriculture drew
upon the United States Treasury
for less than s200,000,000 each year.
Agriculture now draws S1.250, 000,-
600. There were no forms of relief
or social security in 1880 Today
those services are costing $780,
100000 each year Public construe-
ton in times past was called d
pork barrel and cost 5000, 600, 600
or s300,000,000 each year. Now it
is called public works and costs
$1,000 100000 year. National de-
Tense then cost under $780, 100000
In this new government fiscal year,
national defense will account for
nearly S5,000,000,000 in cash.
Spending $4,000, 900 a Day
Then there are other expenses of
government, including interest on
the public debt, that account for
the remainder of the expenses. also
reflecting the trend toward increase
Added up, this means that the
people of the United States, even
with continued peace, will need to
accustom themselves to a national
government that pous out vast
amounts of money The flow that 10
years ago was 100000 a day, last
year was s26,000000 a day and in
this year is to be s32.000,000 a day
With war, this flow would rise
quickly to S70,000000 a day, or
about ,000,000,000 a year
In print, these are cold and I'M
impressive figures. Actually, they
are going to have very real mean
ing to every individual in the
nation
Dollars that flow in such volume
must come from some place In part,
those dollars will come through con-
tinued borrowing by the Govern
ment That borrowing has amounted
to S26,000,000, in the last I0
years. 1t amounted to $4,000, 900, 600
in the last year. 1t will amount to
about S5,000,000,000 in the present
year But, in part, the added dollars
needed to meet rising government
costs must come from the pockets
of taxpayers
The Congress now sitting already
has voted to take an added Sl,000,-

individuals and corporation income

Mr., Witt had been assigned a deputy
to handle administrative duties.
The eight conclusions were:
l. The administrative division was
insufficiently organized.
2. Because of lack of organization,
the administrative process has suf-
fered in effectiveness.
g. Too many functions were CEN
tralized in the Secretary's Office and
there was too little delegation of re-
sponsibility
a. Decentralization had over
burdened the secretary's Office.
5. There was too little co-ordina-
ton between various Washington
divisions.
6. There was too little co-ordina-
ton between Washington and the
regional offices.
Z A definite personnel policy was
lacking.
g. The board itself was partici-
pating in too many administrative
details

In response 10 Mr.. Leiserson's
