Sfafisfcians Discuss
National Budget and
World Census Plans

The prediction by Vice President
Wallace that the next Congress
would consider national budget"
to assure full employment was dis
cussed today by members of the
American Statistical Association.
Another plan brought UP at to-
days session at George Washington
University was for food and agri-
cultural census to be taken all over
the world in 1850. This was pro-
posed by Joseph A. Becker of the
ONCE Of Foreign Agricultural Rela-
tions, Agriculture Department. He
described the work on food and az
riculture already done by the in
terim commission of the United Ma
tions' Conference on Food and Ag-
riculture.
The proposed national or Job
budget, to be aside from the regular
Government expenditure budget,
would deal with total investment
and expenditures by all groups. If
estimated expenditures were less
than the amounts needed for neces-
sary employment, the Government
would step in.
The Vice Presidents statement
was made in an address before the
associations dinner meeting last
night at the Willard Hotel. To-
night the statisticians will continue
the discussion on measures of en-
ployment in relation to postwar
problems, rounding out days series
OF discussions on statistical subjects
and the election of officers.
Mr.. Wallace, in his address on
the proposed national budget said
the. Government first would be di-
rected to take steps to encourage
greater private employment. If
that failed it would step in with a
spending program intended to make
up the difference.
/: Provision for this procedure would
be in the full employment bill, based
on studies by James Patton, presi-
dent of the National Farmers Union,
and presented for consideration by
Senator Murray, Democrat, of Mon
tana.
In discussing the full employment
bill, Mr.. Wallace declared full en-
ployment in the United States is
the first step on the road to per-
manent worldwide peace"
Under this bill" he said, there
would inevitably be basic disagree
ments between various political
groups as to how much emphasis
should be put upon measures to
stimulate private enterprise and
how much emphasis upon direct
Federal investment. There would
inevitably be conflicts between the
President and many vocal groups
in Congress.
In actuality, the common man
would have no guarantee of his
right to job unless he were po-
litically organized to see to it that
his President and Congress adopted
those specific policies and those
specific programs which would ac-
tually assure full employment.
Under the bill, however, If the
wrong policies are adopted, it would
be infinitely easier for the average
man Or the average woman to point
her finger at the political leader
or political group responsible for
those policieco

by Congress of any new system Of

tanning such provisions yesterday.
The strong Republican-South-

no federal ballot. They consider
it to be unconstitutional and an
