 Yet there has not been any hysterical or high pressure campaign to induce Congress to act in this matter On the contrary sentiment in the press and other channels of eXpresson of popular opinion has been on the other side Members of Congress seeking tax reduction have been warned not to risk budget deficit and not to imperil the national defense
 This is not because anybody simply revels in paving high income taxes The answer IS to be found in the apprehensve looks cast at the overall world picture This very week, the verge Of the day for filing tax returns, the President went before Congress and soemny asked for $4000000O to bolster anti i-Soviet regimes in Greece and Turkey That in itself goes long way explain the tax burden which we are shoulder ing today.
 A large part of the budget represents the con- tinuing cost of World War IT. including service of the national debt expenditure and the cost of liqudating war agencies and stocks large part represents the cIrrent burden of national defense. which in sense is simply maintenance oi the forces necessary to insure effective voice at the peace conferences These items are the bulk of the budget today.
 Tn other words the heavy taxes We are palmg Tn this postwar period are the price of freedom and security in a chaotic world. It seems unlikely that Americans would pay cheerfuly al current rates for anything other than the nations safety And II seems clear that any economies Congress is able to make will have to come on mint items unrelated to the national security.
