ASTRONOMICAL FIGURES
War Spending Hits High Peak

Further evidence that wartime
spending scared to astronomical
peaks is contained in treasury de-
partment report disclosing that
nearly a trillion dollars was spent
in this country during the six de-
Tense and war years. Figures COM
puted by treasury analysts show
that the exact amount spent through
the calendar years 1910 to 1945 was
987 billion dollars.
The burden of arming and fight
ing costs accounted for unprecedent-
ed spending by the federal govern
ment, with a total outlay Of 1865
billion dollars, or about three
eighths of the total.
Expenditures of state and local
governments, cities and counties
amounted to about so billion dollars.
The remaining 572 billion dollars
was accounted for by spending of
individuals and corporations, the
figure including SIT billion dollars
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1946-08-09

cumulated by state and local gov
ernments and the POI billion dollar
surplus piled up by individuals and
corporations exactly equalled the
federal deficit of 209 billion dollars.
That is not a coincidence, accord
ing to the treasury analysts, who
insist that "total spendings and to-
tai income really are the same fig
ure-they are the head and tail
of a coin." In other words, one
mans expenditure is another mans
income.
These figures, the treasury de-
clares, explain the origin of the
enormous federal debt. The federal
government was required to borrow
to pay the excess of its spending
over its income. It still owes that
money plus some extra borrowing
and some prewar debt, amounting
in all to more than 268 billion dol
lars.

PALESTINE:
Hit Terrorism.

Hitting at the use of violence de-
signed to alter Britain's position in
the ticklish problem of setting up
a Jewish homeland in Arab-domi-
mated Holy Land, the Labor gov
eminent released white paper in
London purporting to show that
prominent leaders of the Jewish
agency for Palestine had unified
underground organizations for a
reign of terror.
Basing its contentious on inter-
cepted messages between high
agency officials in London and Jeru-
salem, the government said that the
first co-ordinated outbreak of vio-
lence closely followed a communi-
cation revealing that the three main
underground groups had been
linked together for joint action.

Europe. Roosevelt believed that

EternuI No Is TypicoI Of Russions
Soviet Assistance Termed
Americas Great Mistake
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne,rs Analyst and Commentator.

| ieve his somewhat verbose Boswell,
Mr.. Butcher, in his 900-page diary.
Butcher writes:
"Ike said he felt that the
more contact we have with the Rus
slams the more they will understand
us and the greater will be their CO.
operation. The Russians are blunt
and fortnight in their dealings and
any evasiveness arouses their sus-
picions. 1t should be possible to
work with Russia if we follow the
same pattern of friendly co-opera-
ton that has resulted in the great
accord of allied unity. -
Roosevelt and the generals were
proved right when they said Stain
needed peace. But they were wrong
when they thought he would come
around. The state department un-
derstands the situation now and, as
the recently concluded meeting of
the foreign ministers demonstrates,
appeasement has been over for
some time. We know Russia can't
fight and doesn't want to. Russia
knows we can't fight whether we
want to or not. She is acting &C.
cordingly and according to historical
precedent.
Tragic History
Inspires 'No-Isna'
But anyone who studies Russian
history knows that the eternal mo"
which seems about the only answer
the Russian statesmen are allowed
to make, comes from something
far deeper than mere stubbornness.
This 'no-ism" is only one of the
many typical characteristics which
the Soviets have revealed. It has
nothing to do with the fact that they
believe in a theory of political econ
onny which is opposed to our own.
1t is a deeply implanted quality
which is Russian rather than mere
" Soviet or Communist.
And so when you read "Soviet
Russia evoked the veto for the sixth
time in security council history. :"
(maybe the 10Th time by the time
you read this) . remember it's
an old Kalmuck custom. Mother
Russia has taught her children from
the days of the invasion of Ghengis
Khan, that when a stranger beck
ons, the only answer is mo, no, a
thousand times mol" In fact,
Russian seldom says mo" once-it
is always ''net, net, nett"
OF course, Ghengis Khan didn't
take mo" for an answer. Which
is about the course the rest of the
world can follow-if it can. Let's
hope the process won't be as rug
ged.

BARRIERS to Boost
Vocabulary Too

1t is probably fitting that along
with the dollar haircut which has
made its appearance in metropoli-
tan barber-shops, we may find the
barber presenting us four-dollar
words. BARRIERS long have been
known for the quality of their verb
al output and in some cases for the
quality as well. Now they may
have a chance really to reach the
heights, for the leader of a BARRIERS
union has offered to "enlist the aid
of 10000 BARRIERS" in a campaign to
get some of the facts of atomic life
across to the customer.
Officials of the airlines have in
