THE DEBT CEILING

The Senate Finance Committee has the right idea in favoring reduction of the national debt limit from s3Ooooo 100000 to s275 100000 It may to be moot question changing the statutory limit on the Federal debt experience has shown that the debt has way rising to it's ceilings and the lower the ceiling the less temptation there will be to let it rise.
 Before the war, an obedient Congress raised the ceiling to accommodate evergreater New Deal spend ing although the debt limitation offered an ideal opportunity to curb the increase of deficit spending With the beginning of the national defense program and then the advent of spending the Federal debt ceiling was raised several times and kept well above the actual level of debt-as beftted the fact that there should be rein on government credit in wartime.
 Now, however, the public debt stands at $274 ,S00 100000 and the debt limit is $3OO0O0 O0O0a figure fixed while appropriations still were in full stride. President Truman has made good beginning on a balanced budget and reduction of the Federal debt. To lower the ceiling to within $700,000000 of the present level of the debt would strengthen his hand, and act a safeguard against any tendencies to resume where we left off with the mad of spending beyond Federal means

A Use for Mondays
(Cincinati Enuuirer)


 The National Association of Monday Holidays was recently incorporated in New York State, with the avowed purpose of promoting the observance of all holidays on Monday-apparently with the exception of such holidays Christmas Easter and the Fourth of July which couldn't very well be moved the calendar.
 public opinion survey just announced mean while finds that bare majority of the people prefer the proposed arrangement. A little more than third of the people interviewed opposed and the rest the traditional mo opinion class Some significance was seen the fact that sentiment about evenly divided during the first test the proposal in 1889
 The idea of course, is to provide elongated weekend whenever permitted by an occasion such as Washingtons Birthday, Decoration Day or Lincons Birthday And we're not greatly surprised that longer weekends should be gaining in popularity in keeping with the general trend toward less work and more leisure. We dare say that public opinion sampler who cared to take the time and trouble would find considerable number of people in favor of week-ong holidays
 We already have precedent for moving traditional holidays about the calendar-renember the deluge of Thanksgivings? it pity that the great men honored by holidays their birthdays should have to move to Monday. Perhaps with this idea in mind, Congress should pass law specifying that all great men hereafter shall be born Mon day Or if that is deemed impractical, it might be made one requirement. of the Presidency that an incumbent shall have been born Monday, to take no chances in case he should become great enough to justify national remembrance of his birth day.
 We're not entirely serious, of course, but come to think of it. there should be some of bright ening day which has come to be traditionally dull and gloomy, unrelieved except by work and family washing

hit the ceiling. They claimed it was fantastic to let the whole country be tied up when both sides were so close to agreement. A set clement, they insisted, was both possible and probable, and, it was unwise in the light of this infor- nation for the President to take the strong action he contemplated.
 John Snyder, however, insisted that it was too late. Word had all ready gone out to the public that the President would address the nation and talk to Congress. He could not turn back. Truman agreed with Snyder .and asked those present to return at o'clock with drafts of the speech he was to deliver at 10 p.m.-a pitifully short time for any chief executive to prepare such a momentous pro- nouncement.
 Shortly after 7.30, the group re- convened at the White House. Sec- retary Byrnes stayed only a few minutes, lett to meet with union leaders Whitney and Johnston.
 Principal speech writer turned out to be slow-moving, good-natur- ed, Presidential Secretary Bill Has sett, known as a fair editor but terrible speech writer. He was only a second string man on the Roose- welt team.
 Snyder showed up for the meet ing, feeling no pain.
 He interrupted the speech writ ing from time to time with inane cracks which served no useful pur- pose.
 Several times Vinson and Schwel- lenbach tried to balance the speech by pointing out that the railroad operators had refused to make con- sessions. Each time Snyder and Steelman vetoed the proposal. Each time Truman sided with Snyder.

Either the Budget Bureau has been guilty of gross extravaganza (which is certainly not its wont or the House Appropriations Committee has committed an of sabotage For slash of 50 per cent is no mere curtailment of operating expenses It means the out right abandonment of vital functions The Grazing Service for example is left with just enough money pay the terminal of its employees Of the 23 million dollars requested for the Southwestern Power Administration, only million dollars was allowed. Nine million dollars cut out of the 20 million dollars sought for the Bureau of Mines. The most serious slash of all in the estimate for the Bureau of Reclamation = 95 million taken away from 167 million.
 The general justification offered for these reduc-
 ons is "the urgent need for retrenchment in Govern ment expenditures" MT. Johnson managed to pay his respects MT Ickes by referring to neffciency and gross extravaganza certain agencies of the De- partment of the Interior and by expressing the hope that under the dynamic leadership of Secretary Krug the department will be placed on a more efficient basis" But in point of fact he to have left the new Secretary with basis at all for carrying out the departments broad and varied responsibilities MT. Krug would have to be very dynamic indeed to produce power to rrigae arid land without funds for construction of dams.
 In our view there is no genuine economy in haltlng or frustrating the development of the Nations natural The effect of the Appropriations Commit tees reduction of the Interior Department budget would be to nullify the public power policy laid down by Congress and to slow down reclamation projects which have been duly authorized. We hope that the House will not accept report which would use the appropriation power to legsateor rather to subver legislation already enacted. Resource development no less important in the postwar period than it during the war itself It promotes employment and at the same time contributes to the national wealth. The Senate if not the House, should to it that the Interior Department is given the means to full speed ahead.

It must have been keen disappointment to Rep- resentative Jed Johnson of Oklahoma that his prun-
 ing of the Interior Department appropriation bill for I947 came at time when Harold L. Ickes no longer in office to feel the effects of the knife He reported the other day for the House Committee Appropriations recommendation that the Budget Bureau estimate for the Interior Department be cut almost exactly in half Out of request for $346 765, 830 operate the various activities of the department during the fiscal year ahead the committee approved no more than STA 579 This is of course, not much pruning cleavage. And it's effect must be virtually to decapitate the agency which Secretary Krug lately inherited from Secretary Ickes.

HEART AND HOME
 Under this configuration all wo- men should be fortunate in their domestic and social ventures. They are warned, however, against un- wise concentration of time and ef- fort in one direction to the exclu- sion Of other activities which are needed to give balance and per- spective to their lives.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Many honest business men now condoning black market operations as unavoidable under price restric- tions may come to regret they did not have the courage to take firm stand against such practices.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Fundamental weaknesses in the legislative branch of the Govern ment will be assailed by nonpartis- an groups in the near future in the hope oi strengthening the Gcv- ernment against the aggressive ac- tivities of disloyal and unfriendly clements.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Changes in U. N. for the pur- pose of reinforcing it's governing principles is indicated. There is no more reason to argue that it is be- yond improvement than to con- tend that the Constitution of the United States should not have been amended.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of vigorous and enjoyable activity and some financial gain.
 Children born today will be ener- getic, determined, fearless and self willed.

Schwellenbach and Vinson both oppose Truman's personal denun- csation of Whitney and Johnston, but Snyder shouted wildly that the two union leaders were trying to destroy "The Chief" and that they had to be named Truman agreed.
 Finally, the speech was complet- ed only 20 minutes before the President went on the air. At the time he made it. Truman didn't even know what kind of legisla- ton he was going to request of Congress the next day.

FIRING JOHN SNYDER

At the cabinet meeting also, Sec retary of the Treasury Fred Vim son asked how much money separ- ated the railroad workers and the operators = in other words, how much would it take to satisfy la bor's unmet demands. Steelman, who had been conducting negotia- tions for more than week, said he didn't know. So did Schwellen- bach. So did Byrnes. But John Snyder volunteered that they were between 300 and 500 million dollars apart. This very large estimate led Vinson and Byrnes to the conclu- sicn that there was no possibility of negotiated settlement, and they then cast their weight with the Secretary of War in favor of let ting the Army run the railroads.
 After the Cabinet meeting Tru- man lunched with Snyder and Steeiman. They urged him to use force to break the strike. also to go before Congress and ask for new legislation. After lunch, therefore, Truman called special meeting of certain cabinet members and advis- CTS, including Secretary of State Byrnes, Attorney General Clark, Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach, and the President. Truman inform ed them he had decided: CD To go on the air that night, and @ ad- dress Congress the next day. He then outlined the general nature of what he wanted to say-Some of it drastic.
 At this point, Secretary Vinson, realizing an important break with Roosevelt precedent was imminent, once again asked whether Snyder was sure of his figures regarding the distance between the railroad operators and the brotherhoods. Snyder then sheepishly admitted that only between 25 and 30 million dollars separated the two
 Steelman also confessed that the three important rules changes the union was really insisting on would only cost the railroads 18 million dollars.
