The Federal Budget
Can Be Balanced


citizens who believe in balanced
budget to support now every move to
put the United States on sound fiscal
basis. Only if that is done can our
country successfully discharge its obi
cations"
This appeal, voiced by 16 informed
members of the House and Senate, Of
both major parties, gives new impetus
to the movement for balance of next
years federal budget.
AS the budget estimates come under
closer scrutiny, many opportunities
appear for reduction of the proposed
expenditures chargeable against cur
rent revenues.
The budget can be balanced.
AS submitted to the Congress, the
budget proposed expenditures Of near
ly $50 billion but, as pointed out by the
16 members of Congress, almost half
this total is composed Of tentative
estimates without detail.
"a determined Congress-" they say,
"aOith citizen backing can find the cuts
needed for budget balancing" in some
1923 billion of the proposed expendi-
lures.
For the first time in years, Congress
is in a good position to resume effec-
tive controls of spending and to
enforce needed economies. Let's back
our representatives up.

that the military and the local

young Shah, their commander in

(There was no immediate ex-

Secretary of the Treasury VIM

interest were paid" the proposed
British loan would be worth
while.
Mr.. Vinson gave this argument to
the House Banking Committee even
as House foes of the $3,750, 900 900
credit tried to nullify the Senate's
approval of it.
The Secretary said the proposed
financial agreement would benefit
the United States through the scrap
ping of British controls which now
restrict trade
Mr. Vinson, saying that "our econ
omy has always been dependent on
foreign trade" recalled the contrac-
tion of American disputes during the
early 1930s. He said that decline

"Our trade cannot reach the high

said.
Mr.. Vinson noted that the interest
rate on the loan g per cent begin
ming in 1851 would be less than
Britain would have to pay on a
strictly commercial loan obtained
from bankers" He described the
financial agreement as much more

Speaker Rayburn, taking personal

voiced confidence that this initial

would not kill the loan measure, but
would be heavy blow. If the Sen

President Truman already has
made roughly the same tour the

bridge on both sides of the river.
and then crossed the city to inspect
the site of the proposed Shepherds
Landlng-Alexandria Bridge, which
the planning commission wants built
instead OF a second bridge at the
Fourteenth street crossing.
Committee members made little
comment, but asked many questions

PARIS, May 14.-American
sources today said Soviet For
eign Minister Molotov proposed
withdrawal of Russian troops
from Bulgaria on condition that
Allied troops leave Italy, but
Secretary of State Byrnes and
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
disapproved the suggestion.
Both Mr.. Byrnes and Mr.. Bevin
objected when Mr.. Molotov proposed
the bargain of withdrawing from
Bulgarian lines of communication to
Austria, the informants said. Mr..
Bevin declared a comparable ar
Irangement would be for the Russians
to leave Romania if the Allies left
Italy. He said Britain was ready
to withdraw from Italy if the Soviets
left Romania.
The British Foreign Secretary fur
ther was reported to have declared
that the Russians agreed at the For
eign Ministers Council in London last
September to a decision that they
would withdraw from Bulgaria while
leaving troops in Romania to pro-
tect their lines of communication
to Austria.
Urge Expert Commission.
An informant said Mr.. Byrnes
and Mr.. Bevin then proposed the
establishment of commission of
military experts to decide whether
the Allied lines of communication
through Italy to Austria were phys
ically necessary.
Mr.. Molotov was said to have
agreed to formation of the COM
mission, but nothing was finally
decided.
During the interchange Mr.. Byrnes
again tried unsuccessfully to per-
suade his three colleagues to study
the Austrian situation by proposing
that the Deputy Foreign Ministers
begin preparation of a treaty with
that country. But again Mr.. Mol
otov blocked the move, declaring
the ministers and their deputies
already had enough to do, with five
European peace treaties on their
hands.
