Four years from now North
Cardinals State Government will
be completely debt-free in that ii
will have in its sinking fund
enough money to meet all future
obligations, according to the mag
azine, We the People.
In it's "Review of the Month
column the magazine reports that
the State Government collected
the huge total of SLIT, O25, 755 in
taxes during the year ending June
Sc. 1947. This tax revenue did not
include the agricultural fund nor
unemployment compensation, as
they are special purpose funds,
nor are they collected by the De
partment of Revenue. The regular

fiscal year, the highest in history.
were divided as follows: General
fund, $120. 3l6, 100: highway d,
$54, 539. 202; gas and oil inspections
So, ITO, 423.
Collections for the previous year
reached a grand total of SOL ,217,-
594. During the lS47 session OF the
General Assembly it was not
anticipated that the general fund
tor the year ending June 80 would
reach the figure of $3.50, 600, 900,
hut it was felt that it would rise
above the 1856 total.
The largest inc. ease was regis.

On The Wrong Track

One of the fallacies of the new deal
that we could go in debt indefinite
ly because what the government Dor
rowed from the people was not really
a debt. The people merely owed the
money to themselves.
Now, as a result, we have found
that more wages for less production
per man raises prices enormously. We
have found that when we loaned money
to ourselves in the form of government
bonds, interest on that money has to
be collected in taxes and paid to our
selves-this in turn adds greatly to the
cost Of living.
General Eisenhower has told us in
plain language that with the present
condition of the world, it is possible we
will be in another wal within IL
months.
There is only one way the people of
the United States can save themselves.
AS workers we must learn that an in
creased income can only be made per-
manent through increased production
per man; we learn that only by work
and saving and economy can we main
tain a solvent government, i. e., save
the money we have loaned" to our
selves. 1t makes no difference whether
we allow extravaganza in government
or extravaganza in our families-either
Will destroy our savings and capital. We
nus all learn that in a World economy
largely devoted to a race for military
supremacy and to the quickest and most
eftlcelnt means for destroying the hu-
man race, we must be prepared to pro
tect ourselves.

to commend it to all concerned.
For President Truman, it exor-
cises the nightmare which mas
been v1sibly haunting him. He will
not have to cope with a special
session of a hostile Congress with
only one piece of business before
it-a situation bound to prove the
truth of the old rule that isaiah
finds work for idle hands % do"
For the members of Congress, it
removes the need to curtail their
vacations and to interrupt the
vital labor of mending fences back
home. And for the country and for
Europe. it assures action to avert
the dangers now m%enacing us a.
a date very nearly as early as
could be achieved by a special
session.
What the verdict of Congress
will oe, no n of course can now
predict with C e r t a i n t y. Three
points, however, deserve to be
noted. First Secretary Marshall's
triumphant success in bringing
order out of the State Depart
ment's antique disarray has
already begun to make the inevi-
table favorable impression on
C o ngress. Second. Secretary
Marshall has personally restored,
to the satisfaction of all concern
ed, the machinery of bipartisan
foreign policy to its former good
working order. Not satisfied with
this. he is reported to be
devising a new and quite revo-
lutionary program of State De-
partment Congressional liaison.
which will keep Congress con-
tinuously in touch with the world
picture. And in addition, plans are
being made for high officials to
educate the country during the
summer.
Third, and most important, it
may be difficult now to imagine
the present Congress approving a
bill embodying anything like The
Marshall plan. But a good rule
in judging trends in the United
States is that the country always
saves itself in the end. And in this
case the national safety, and per-
haps the national survival, are as
clearly at stake as in any Of the
great crises Of u history.

Battle In Our Lap

The Indonesian fighting is on the
other side Of the world, to be sure, but
the United States finds the battle all
but in it's lap. Not that American troops
are involved on either side. But the
State Department has been actively
engaged for a long time in trying to
effect a working agreement between
the Netherlands government and the
Indonesians. Now that these activities
have failed, Washington feels that Hol-
land could have done better by the
natives.
What this attitude may lead to is
not to be forecast. Probably the worst
will be an exchange of diplomatic notes
between the State Department and the
equivalent Dutch office which will con-
tain yelled opinions that will not inter-
fere either with the relations of the
two governments Or interrupt the
fighting.
However, this is not the only concern
of the United States. There is some
thing more, something sven alarming,
in the situation. American wal mate
rial, planes and other equipment are
being used. 1t is all ex-Lend-Lease and
for the most part abandoned by the
British when they moved out. About a
hundred and fifty Lend-Lease planes
were left in the islands after VI Day.
There have been nc war material
shipments from this country since the
wars end, except a few surplus cargo
planes which the Dutch authorities
have agreed will not be used for mill
tary purposes. But the fact remains
that, through no direct fault Of Wash

ductivity and prosperity.
Thus by Oct. / all the data need
ed for action will at long last be
available, At that time or shortly
thereafter. there is good reason to
except that Sen. H. Vandenberg,
of Michigan, and Rep. Charles A.
Eaton. of New Jersey, will call
into session the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate and tie

House. In view of the enormous
Importance of the Marshall plan
to this country and ,the world, il
is neither feasible nor desirable for
the Congress to pass upon
it without the most careful study.
If the presently mapped tentative
strategy is followed, this study
will be completed by the two COM
mittees a hearings held during
October and November.
If this is done, in turn, the COM
mittees VII then be ready to re.
port out an amended, completed
bill as soon as Congress meets,
and the debate a begin instant
ly. Since the debate is likely to be
extremely prolonged, there is
some thought of taking the edge
off the congressional itch for self
expression at a short special ses-
sion in december. In any case,
the hope is that this device of
holding committee hearings in the
absence Of Congress will make it
impossible to bring the Marshall
plan 10 final vote before Feb. l..
Thus the tourniquet should be
available to staunch the terrible
wounds Of Europe before the grim
winter has brought disaster.
The final decision as to whether
to adopt this novel %expedient has
not yet been taken. Its obvious

action on the Marshall plan for
Europe. At horne, rumors abound.
Aboard, the British and French
leaders of Europe's effort to or
ganize for reconstruction have
been bitterly dishearteded by
President Truman's intimation
that the Marshall plan would not
necessitate. a special session of
Congress. AS Ernest Bevin sadly
remarked, Europe is bleeding to
death" and if the tournique is
not applied in a reasonable time,
he patient will expire.
There is no earthly reason for
the administrations air of aim
lessness and uncertainty about the
special e S i o r. President
Truman. Secretary of State
Marshall and the congressional
leaders have in fact already map
ped out a perfectly sound tentative
strategy Of action.
In brief, there will be no pro-
longed special session unless Eu-
rope begins to come apart at the
seams, and the quickest American
aid is therefore imperative. B u
during the recess, all preparations
will be made for the promptest
possible congressional action on

WASHINGTON. - (NEA) -
President Humans mid-year eco
nomic report is aimed more at
American b u s n 8 and union
labor leaders and the general
public than it IS at Congress. II
points up four major uncertainties
on the horizon:
/. The possibilities Of crop fail
ures and their effect Or food
prices.
Z. The coal wage settlement and
it's possible effects Or wage rates
and industrial prices.
3. The upward trend of housing
costs and the downward trend o.
construction.
4. The whole matter Of foreign
economic policy.
Senator Taft's Joint Congress
sional Committee on the Economic
Report ignored completely the
Presidents first message On the
Full Employment Act, sent to the
capitol last January. And in the
committees month of hearings or

concentrations of six months ago.
Instead the witnesses were al.
lowed to ramble at will all over
the business peaks and valleys
and they turned up unbelievably
conflicting reports.
The Presidents report, On the
other hand, is a completely factua]
appraisal of the present situation
1t is a handy little argument settler
of 80 pages, half text, haE tables.
