STILL CLIMBING

Outstanding feature of a recent survey of the Federal governments financial operations for the past year is the continued high level of government expenditures The end of the battle in Europe hasn't as yet had any effect in reducing expenditures The war costs stand at record high level not only for the year but for the latter months of the year.
 The figure for June exceeded by those for only March and May and much higher than those for June last year This was only to be expected as it will take time for cancellation of orders to be reflected in contraction of current outlays The budget statement is thus timely reminder of the wel-estabshed fact that retrenchment in Government spending cannot be achieved overnight
 The net deficit for the year, just short Of 54 billion dollars is slightly below the maximum a-time deficit of l943 it is A billion dollars higher than in the preceding year although total revenues amount ed to nearly 48 billion dollars, compared with only 234 billion dollars in 1943 and 454 billion dollars in the fiscal year 1914 The huge size of the deficit in face of the excellent revenue showing is due to the sustained high level of Government spending which brought total outays for the past fiscal year to record figure of 100 billion dollars
 The expenditure trend is worth emphasizing to point the moral that it is premature to call for sub-

 We have free education, free press freedom of speech our homes are not invaded, have religious freedom Here as forefathers sought, we may still worship God according to the dictates of our conscience.
 We are nation desiring peace We have no imperalistic ambitions but will fight any aggressor who threatens to destroy our freedom.
 We have democracy under an amendable con- sttuton deriving it's power from the governed.
 We have a social structure which is not fixed into cases but where opportunity invites youth to do their best toward sef-realzation, We have social structure which founders reared homes, on religion education Suppementing these basic ln- sthutions have leisure time agencies like the all of have the honor to work with the Boy Scouts of America which seeks to fortify America by training more than a million boys each year to "help other people, and to become honest interested participating citizens. We have social structure which is open minded which seeks for better ways within the framework of American liberties = always safe guarding individual liberty in the quest for wider justice Here the mind, the hand the heart are free free to grow Godward

stantia reductions in taxes in the near future unless prepared witness series of colossal deficits that would accelerate the growth of the public debt That debt had already reached 258'7 billion dollars by the end of June. During the year interest on the public debt amounted to 36 billion dollars-an increase of billion dollars the preceding year. Even with continued high level of taxation the volume of debt is bound to show further large increases before budgetary balance can be achieved. The low rate at which the Government has borrowed funds has kept
 total interest payments at a remarkably low level, relatively speaking But the outlay is nonetheless extremely large, judged by peacetime standards Its burdensome emphasizes the importance of cutting down the deficit with all possible dispatch by main taining taxes at high levels

INDIAN MERCENARY ARMY

A<NDA<h4N @ALheSA%4NsAAeA %AAtAA
 Roosevelt had before him con- fidential report from his personal ambassador, William Phillips, that the Indian Army is purely mer- cenary. Gen. Stilwell has expressed to me his concern over the situa- tion," Phillips said, and in par ticular in regard to the poor morale of the Indian officers. The atti- tude of the general public toward the war is even worse.
 Tt is not right" Ambassador Phillips concluded, flor the British to say This is none of your busi- ness when we alone presumably will have the major part to play in the future struggle with Japan"
 Later the British denied that the Indian Army was mercenary and lacked the will to fight But U s. military advisers point to the fol- lowing significant fact. It required the Japanese three months to take Singapore, all Malaga and all Burma. In contrast, it has now been two years since Churchill an- nounced at Quebec in July 1943 that Lord Louis Mountbatten would command the campaign to retake Burma. In those two years, Burma has not yet been cleaned out and Singapore is long way from being in British hands.
 In other words, the British h. dian Army with a total of around 2,000,000 men including reserves has not yet accomplished in two years what a Japanese army of under 100000 men accomplished in three months.
 This leads U. s. military experts to the conclusion that Gen. Still wells description of the British Indian Army is correct. It also leads them to the conclusion that Truman will have to be more than blunt with Churchill if the United States is to receive aid against Japan from the great manpower pool of India.

convinced as I was last summer that the British do not want to go back into Burma. (the RAF not withstanding, until they can take it back by themselves. If the British go all out into Burma now, it will be because they are forced into action by us and the 30,000 Chinese at Remgarh. .
 "One final observation. Our troops are very popular with the Indians. They are the best ambas- sadors we have. It's their frank, direct, inquisitive ways.
 T think the above letter is worth :isking my official neck-plenty of others are risking their physical ones-to be frank in these times. We're in too tight a spot to pussy-foot"
 Cca.c Depas.ment experts say that Roosevelt never. got really tough with Churchill over better cooperation in India or over what went on in the British spheres of influence. So this leaves almost a virgin field for MT. Truman to tackle. However, tackle it he must if we are to cut casualties in the Pacific and arrange a peaceful ordered world in which to live.
