klscW Olh DdilJ iitiiIof
More and more members of Con-
gress seem to be grasping the idea
that public opinion demands cur
tailment of government spending
for purposes other than war. In
various committees and as individ-
uals they are becoming to act as
if they meant to do something
about it.
The House appropriations COM
mittee has actually put through a
number of specific reductions in
providing for the next fiscal year,
but though spurred almost daily by
Senator Byrd, chairman of the spe-
cial committee on non-war expendi-
lures, the Senate continues to stall.
Congress has been directly in
formed by Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau and Budget Di-
rector Smith that large savings can
be made. Various more or less de-
tailed plans for saving have been
presented by the Brookings Institu-
ton, the National Manufacturers
Association, the National Economy
League, the United States Cham
Der of Commerce, the Citizen
Emergency Committee, and other or
CARNATIONS of high repute
All the information given to Con-
gress, all the plans available for
study, point to an annual saving of
not less than $4,000, 100000. No one
is urging that this money be saved"
in the sense of squirreling it away.
The whole argument is that it
should be saved from useless spend.
ing purposes that may we'll be sus-
pended at least for the duration.
Addressing the United States Cham
Der Of Commerce recently, Senator
fydings of Maryland said.
Two billion dollars year is five
million dollars day; and in these
days when we are taxing people to
the bone and will shortly tax them
more, and are requesting them to
give up every cent they possibly
can, | cannot understand why an
aroused public would not want ev-
cry bit Of economy in Washington
that could be secured without i'm
pairing or hurting the force of our
war effort
Among the resolutions adopted by
the Chamber was one reading in
part, Activities not primarily con-
cerned with the war effort should
be abolished or cut to the barest
minimum. The war label should
not be used to cover non essential
undertakings or avoidabIe waste
These are the points scme corr
gressmen seem to have missed, or
have refused to recognize. A per-
nicious lobby labors for the bene-
fit of the numerous non-war spend
ing agencies, and keeps many sena-
tors and representatives bemused.
They do not wish to do anything
contrary to the wishes of the ad-
minlstration, much less to affect adj
