The Great Game of Politics
Federal Finances Called Out Of Control;
Non Defense Economy Urged

In the fourth place, various costly
projects, which, like the st. Law
renee Waterways, are OF dubious
merit so far as defense is concerned,
have been put forward with admin
istration support.
And now the House has just
passed q bill increasing the total
amount of pensions by s22 2,238, 900 a
year. This measure would grant $40
a month to the widow of every vet
eran of the last war, regardless of
the cause or the time of his death.
1t is a preposterous proposal. and
1t was killed two years ago in the
Senate committee. Perhaps it will
be killed again, but, In view Of the
way in which everybody has been
getting everything for which they
ask, there is not the least certainty
about that. 1t easily may go
through.
While the attention of our rulers,
and of the people generally, is
focused on the terrific events hap
pening abroad, and while the great
issue of defense absorbs oup ener-
gieS, doubtless there are those who
will consider it repetitious and in
bad taste to bring up this subject
in this way at this time.
Out of Control.
The truth is that our Federal
finances are out of control-and have
been for a long time. There are two
classes of citizens who are not ap-
palled at this situation. One is COM
posed of those who do not know the
facts; the other, of those who lack
the sense to understand them.
There is, besides, a third class
which not only is not appalled, but
which actually rejoices. In it are
those enemies of the American sys-
tenn who calculatingly work to break
it down. From the start they have
been the most ardent advocates of
the unrestrained spending policy.
Their perfectly sound theory is that
the ultimate end of that policy is
bound to be a national bankruptcy
out of which Communism must
emerge.
These are unpalatable facts, but
few will dispute them. The difficulty
is fully to arouse the people to their
menacing meaning. Soon there will
be passed the most drastic tax bill
in the national history. And that
is as it should be. But it is a crime
to pass such a bill without, as the
President has urged, pairing every
non-defense expenditure to the
bone"
He seems much too busy now to
recall his recommendation. But that
is no reason Congress should funk
the job, too. The American people
have the right to look to their rep
resentatives for protection against
this acute domestic danger. Appar-
emily, they will look In vain.

to practice it-quite the reverse.
A more perilous economic philoso-
ply does not exist. Yet it Is the one
upon which this Government has
been operating since the middle OF
1933-and still is. In it lurk the
seeds of financial chaos, national de-
generation and decay. Before this
war began, the great spending pol
icy, which is basic in this admins
tration and to which is due the great
bulk of its popularity, had brought
the Federal finances to stage where
no thoughtful man could view them
without apprehension.
Retrenchment Pledged.
The height OF the debt and the
steadily increasing deficits were con-
cededly fraught with danger while
the world was at peace and some
degree of public attention could be
gained for our domestic problems
Now that the war has forced us to
launch upon the expenditure OF
many more billions for defense, the
risks of a runaway fiscal policy
should be clear to all save the COM
pletely obtuse.
The President was quick to recog-
nize this. Last January, in mes
sage to Congress, he pledged him.
self to pare to the bone" every
non-defense governmental eXpendi-
ture. His Secretary of the Treasury
appreciating that strong Fedora,
credit is vital to the national de-
fense. months ago expressed his be-
lief that a billion dollars could bt
Topped off the normal expenses. Mr.
Eccles, head of the Federal Reserve
Board, declared that retrenchment
was immensely important.
1t was all very impressive, but
what has been done? The answer
is-less than nothing. Instead oi
normal expenses being lowered ir
the coming fiscal year, they will be
very much higher. Instead of par
ing down we have piled up. In the
first place, a trick budget was sub.
mitted which made it seem that
normal expenses were being parec
when the reverse was true.
| One Of the tricks was to transfer
all the expenses Of the War anc
Navy Departments, including tn.
salaries of the Secretaries, from the
normal budget to the defense bud.

second place, the powerful farm
lobby was allowed to put through
a bill which will increase the agri.
cultural subsidies anywhere from
$500 900 to $500, ,00O,00 a year.

displayed complete indifference
to the dangers of a flank attack.
Moscow is the objective of the
German Armies engaged on the
Minsk front and all efforts are
being made to reach that OBJ
jective as quickly as possible.
In American military quarters
It is believed that an expert
enced commander in chief could
turn this melee" strategy into
real advantage for the Rus
slams. The Red Army has what
Gen. Weygand needed so des-
perately: A substantial air force
and a large number of tanks and
armored cars.
Reds Use Novice's Strategy.
But 1t seems that the Russian
chief of staff, Gen. Timoshenko,
lacks the necessary experience in
the field and is following the
novice's orthodox strategy just
as the Germans other opponents
have done.
According to reports from Hell
sinki the Germans have finished
moving their mechanical forces
in Finland and the drive Of the
Ffnnish-German Armies toward
the Leningrad sector is about to
begin.
The Finnish Armies have not
been idle since the conclusion of
the Soviet-Finnish peace. The
force under Field Marshal Man
nerheim does not exceed 100000
men, but the Firms have proved
themselves excellent soldiers.
The Russians have foreseen a
strong drive against Leningrad
from Finland and have done
their utmost to cripple the Fin
nish ports where German sup
plies have been arriving for
several weeks. A powerful army,
estimated at 250,000 to 100000
men, is we'll entrenched on Fin
nish-U. S. S. R. border. The
Soviet general staff is determined
to protect the industrial Lenin-
grad district with all available
means,
