SWELLING FEDERAL DEBT

Budget Director Smith will probably be kept busy giving out estimates of receipts and expenditures for months to come. A few weeks ago his revised statement assumed that the Pacific would con- tinue throughout the current fiscal year The latest estimates make allowance for the changes resulting from the end of the But they too, highly tentative for it will be time before the effect of the war on the budget be appraised with a fair degree of accuracy. The volume of expendi- lures will depend as MT. Smith states, the speed with which war procurement is shut off, the speed of demobzation and other factors. On the other hand increased outlays for and aftermath of war functions are likely to rise, while receipts may be adversely affected by changes in tax laws and are bound to be influenced by rising unemployment bring ing with it reduction in taxable incomes.
 The deficit is currently placed at BOA billion dollars-15 billion dollars below the previous estimate and further reduction is expected liquidation of the war proceeds. Nevertheless we shall end the year with huge deficit and formidable total debt How formidable best be realized by noting that the prospective deficit at the moment for single year greater than the entire volume of indebtedness outstanding after World War l. At the end of 1919, for example total debt amounted to approximately 26 billion dollars the end of last June the debt had risen to 259 billion dollars, and the basis of the last revision of estimates will reach 273 billion dollars by the end of this fiscal year.
 This more than tenfold increase in the outstand- ing debt entails enormous increase in governmental overhead in the form of interest charges despite the fact that the cost of borrowing d e., the level of interest rates) much lower than it in World

Occupation Duty
Cincinnati Enquirer

From millions of lads in uniform and millions more of their friends and relatives the cry Get the soldiers home" The number of who voluntarily would enlist for duty with the occupation forces is pitifully small the number of parents who would encourage their youngsters to perhaps is even smaller e
 While we realize how much home to a soldier-having served abroad in two wars-and while know how comforting it is to have ones children close by the family freside still we feel that the national dstae for foreign service is hardly justified We are certain that thousands of soldiers refusing such duty today will regret tomorrow that they failed to take advantage of opportunities thus offered We certain too that many parents will see the time when they'll be sorry if they have placed any barriers in the way of Soldier-Son'S ambitions to spend some time in Germany or Japan.
 Members of occupation forces-if our army pro- gram follows its usual paternWl have opportunities study in great schools They will be able to train themselves in score of trades and crafts They can learn foreign languages; can benefit from contact with other cultures. Their journeys will take them to new and exciting lands; to shrnes hallowed to humans since time began.
 Many of these boys will home at the end of their service enriched beyond measure. They will be the who approach the adventure with eager and open minds intelligent and awake to every opportunity. So long they live they will benefit from their experiences.
 There will be others of course, who will benefit not at all But they will be those who probably would
  offered Certainly the opportunities for advance ment in the army of occupation-and We don't mean advancement in military rank alone-are tremendous For most soldiers they will be far greater than they will find during the period in civilian life, back the highways and byways of their own home towns
 What we have said here applies primarily to the youthful, unattached soldiers now wearing military uniforms. We realize full well that the problems of young fathers and husbands are vastly different. Men who have dependents had launched into business careers prior to the Armys call in the same category They would lose more than they could gain-Inost of them-by remaining in service

Youth rides to his pennant now, but youth is tickle lass She'll desert him one dark autumn morning few quick years from now He'll do well to see that he holds rich experiences by which to remember her.

War I. The comparative burdensoneness Of the debt has likewise not increased in proportion to the increase in service charges because national produc ton and national incomes have also increased enorm- ousy during the last quarter century. For example, the estimated gross national product amounted to about 70 billion dollars in 1919 and to 200 billion dollars in 1945. Computations based on 944 prices) When allowance is made for these partially compen- sating factors, comparisons between World War and World War II indebtedness less invidous. Never theess the burden of public debt cannot be computed in of interest charges alone The debt represents load of deadweight public obligations in which savings that might under different conditions have gone into productive enterprises have been invested. That creates difficult problems and gives us some thing to think about.

 President and the group swapped

NAVY CENSORSHIP

Japan is not the only place sub ject to censorship. Though the war is over, a brass-knuckled case of censorship has just occurred at the U. s. Naval Air Station, Banana River, Fla.
 Suspected reason for the censor ship is policy put out by Navy chiefs in Washington to squelch all news stories critical of the Navy discharge system. Navy brass hats were careful not to put this censor ship idea in writing, but telephoned to various Navy com man d t $ throughout the country.
 Down at the Banana River Naval Air Station, young officers and Navy men last week published their weekly paper. Banana Feelings, containing an "inquiring reporter coulmn of what Navy men think of the discharge system. It con- tained such quotes as these:
 From C. F. Robinson, Graham N. C., age 37: The Navy releases men too slow. I want them to get on the ball. My wife and two kids need me a lot worse than the Navy does now that the war is over"
 From J. E. Ebelhtrt, Baltimore, Md: 'As to how the point system affects me, don't know, but if don't get out soon I'm going to butt my head against some bulk head. I served my country and now I'm ready to go home
 From Ensign Frank c. Murphy Philadelphia, Pa, with four years in the Navy: My only regret is that I am not married. Then l would have 46 points and could be discharged quicker"
 Shortly after Banana Feelings hit the streets, Commanding Of- ticer w. J. Slattery regular Navy Captain, cracked down. He ordered every copy of the newspaper con- fiscated and burned. Only few of

COP CONSPIRACY

Secretly but diligently agroup of Republican Senators and Repre- sentatives is working with research CTS for the Republican National Committee to prepare ammunition for the next election.
 They are working up a huge dossier on the business activities of Elliott Roosevelt; second, his brother, Jimmy, and finally, they plan to launch an attack on Mrs. Roosevelt. It has not been decided yet if this data will be held until next years campaign or be re- leased earlier.
 The greatest secrecy about the whole project is being maintained with none of the active plotters willing to admit their participation. Although it is a Republican pro- ject those engaged in it insist that their most valuable leads are coming from Democrats particu- larly the Jesse Jones Texans who opposed President Roosevelt last year, and are hoping that somehow, by discrediting the family most closely associated with the New Deal they can once again take over political power.
 The charges against Jimmy-and they have been heard before-are that he blackjacked numerous big firms into buying insurance through his Boston firm The lengthy House investigation of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company a couple of years before the war resulted from the refusal of the company to insure with Jimmy, it will be charged.
 The charge against Mrs. Roose- welt will be that she became member of the Board of Directors of the insurance firm-Roosevelt & Sargent-when her son went into the military service, in order to prevent disclosure of his deals.

MISSOURI HOMECOMMING

There is plenty of excitement in Independence, Mo, whenever Presi- dent Truman decides to visit his old home town. During the July visit scores of high state officials and midwest politicians telephoned and wired Roger T. Sermon, Mayor of Independence. A lot of them wanted their names included in the private reception the mayor gave for Truman.
 The mayor, however, was both relentless and exclusive. Outside the Presidential staff and 10 former officers of the old 129th Field Ar
