Is economy In non-defense Fed
eral spending possible? One Of the
highest official authorities, Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau,
recently said Yes--and then he
showed explicitly where some major
cuts can - made.
The Secretary's testimony was
given before the Congressional
economy committee-a committee,
which. If it succeeds with its OBJ
jectives, will render every citizen
OF this country tremendous SER
vice. First, he said, the $95 ,O00, 900
reclamation allowance and the
5000, 100000 rivers and harbors
item should be re-examined in the
light of defense needs. The $685.
100000 farm-aid program for 1912
and big appropriations for other
farm projects such as rural cleo
trification, should be heavily cut,
The 1943 highway appropriation of
$139, 900, 900 should be cancelled
And heavy reductions should be
made in the budgets for such well
fare agencies as the CCC and the
NYA.

Battle of Africa

In specializing on reasons and conse-
ouences Of the obvious weakening Of
German penetrations into Russia, there
has been considerable opinion that con-
centrated air assaults upon Britain prop
er or upon British offensive actions in
North Africa may follow. Some employ
ment will be found, it is believed, for
the NaN military aviation which has
been withdrawn from the eastern front.
One month ago, British Empire forces
sprang out of the desert dawn to begin
what Londons hailed as an all-out offen-
sive to destroy the enemy in Lbya.
Succeeding weeks found this thrust
begged down at several points-and criti-
cism of British fighting
Libyon prowess was heard-again.
Victory Doggedly, these empire
troops continued their
mechanical thrusts at pockets of Axis
forces until finally-on Thursday of this
past week-the British Near East COM
mand in Cairo asserted without qualifi-
cation that German and Italian posi-
tions have been completely shattered
and only those in full retreat westward
can escape destruction.
Axis garrisions still holding on in
Bardia and Salum areas are doomed to
