When we remember that during
the wal the government inflated
spending power by IS to so billions
each year, and that now it is de-
flating spending power at the rate
of Is billions, there can be little
doubt that the main influence is
evolutionary, that sooner or
later we shall see its effects.
These things are all very COM
plicated but, as we look ahead to
next winter it will be useful to
bear these two great facts in
mind. We have an export surplus
of a billion dollars a month. Which
will come very near to being cut
off entirely within a year unless
new funds are provided. And we
have in our government finance
a net drain on spending power OF
of another billion dollars a month.
If you add the tive together, as
Stunning that Congress refused to
support Secretary Marshall's pro-
posals, we shall be operating our
economy with a deflation of about
Is billions a year acting upon
prices, profits, and employment.
That is a lot of deflation, quite
enough to produce conditions alto
gether different from those which
MI. Truman and Mr.. Taft have
been talking about.

at Harvard-the problem Of the
balance Of payment, and the i'm
pending shortage of dollars as the
American credit is exhausted.
1.-The balancing OF the British
accounts, It said, Twill some day
be powerfully assisted by a turn
IN the world conjuncture. 1t has
become a truism to say that the
whole world is now a sellers mar
ket; but it is perhaps not fully
realize how much this affects the
British economy. There is every
reason to expect before long a fall
in the world prices of primary
products-especlally of foodstuffs,
but also of many raw Materials
that will be second in sharpness
only to those of 1921 and 1881. Not
only will Britain gain in relative
prices but there will also be a
great gain in the availability of
supplies. This will not make low
costs and high quality of British
export goods, or aggressive sales
manship in dlsposIng of them, any
less neceary. But it will bring
the solution of the problem of the
balance of payments well within
the range of possibility"
In saying that "there is every
reason to expect before long a fall
In the world prices of primary
products" THE Economist" does
not say that it expects this fall of
prices next year. In fact it implies
that the big readjustment may not
come for two Or three years. The
British crisis, it says. ''wiu be sur
mounted before the 195Os are far

at hand. The same will be ture
Of almost all our customers. For
the outer world as a whole is now
mourning a deficit of one billion
dollars a month. 1t is covering
that deficit with loans, credits, and
gifts from this country and it is
using up its remaining gold and
dollar balances at the rate of near
ly five billions a year. Quite clear
ly, this cannot go on much beyond
next year unless we supply new
funds to keep it going. If we do
not, our exports will be cut at least
in half. This will oe a powerful
deflationary event. 1t would GER
tainly cause not only untold
misery in Europe but would go a
long way toward causing that fall
in the world prices of primary
products which "Ine Economist"
is predicting.
There are also powerful defla-
tionary forces in operation here
at home which, despite offsetting
forces such as the expansion of
real estate mortgages and person
al loans and consumer credit, are
likely in the end to prevail. Much
OF the discussion OF the Federal
budget obscures the magnitude of
the deflationary impact of the gov
eminent because for technical ac-
counting reasons the budget
figures Of expenditures, receipts,
and surplus do not tell the signi-
ficant story.
AS the monthly letter of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York
says: 1.-THE governments net
drain on spending power" - its
deflationary influence on the ma
tional economy-''has been a good
deal heavier than Is Indicated by
the amount of the budget surplus.
This comes about, first, because
cash income is regularly much
greater than met receipts under
the budget. and, secondly, because
actual cash outgo is frequently
less than total budget ex-
penditures." Thus in the first four
months of this year N940 the gov
eminent cash income exceeded its
cash outgo by IA billions, which
is at the rate of 10 billions a year.

Gamble on India

Prime Minister Attlee's announce
ment that Britain proposes to
terminate her two-century-ol rule
in India by June, 1948, has only one
parallel in the relationships of i'm
perial powers with their depend
encies. This is our pledge to grant
independence to the Philippines
within a definite period
However, the analogy ends there,
because the case of India is inf
nitely more difficult and complex.
Unlike the Philippines, India is
welter of races, religions, languages,
and cultures, sundered from one
another by such historic antag-
onisms that internal unity has never
been attained Indeed, it was upon
the chaos prevailing in India that
the British East India Company
began that process of empire build
ing which eliminated in the
supremacy of the British raj"
throughout it's entire extent.
Despite the best efforts of success
sive British cabinets, Lahorite, Con-
servative, Liberal, and Coalition
alike, the Indians have been unable
to compose their differences and
form a united front capable of as
Stunning the sovereign powers which
Britain offers to hand over. The
present British offer is thus at once
a gamble and an ultimatum. It is
formal notice to the Indian factions
to get together or risk the forma-
ton of some regime or regimes not
founded on mutual agreement. The
Attlee cabinet appears to be bank
ing on the SOLDERING effect this will
have upon the factional leaders.
Yet, if it does not do this, the like
ihood of disruption and eventual
civil war may be greatly enhanced.
1t is this aspect which the Con-
servative opposition sharply criti-

irresponsible Economy

It would be hard to find better
example of irresponsible fund-slash-
ing in the name of economy than
the action of the House in voting
not only to deny the OPA de-
ficiency appropriation but to de-
mand the return of 100000 from
its current fund. To add insult to
injury, the House ordered the agency
to discharge "its full responsibilities
under the law"
But OPA cannot discharge it's full
responsibilities under the law with
out money to pay it's dwindling staff
of employees and meet it's other ex-
penses. Extended by the last Congress
with bipartisan support in recogni-
ton of the need for some further
controls, especially of rents, the OPA
has SIT 7,651 900 left of it's appropria-
ton for the fiscal year. Of that
amount more than $7,000,000 has
been earmarked for final salaries
and accumulated leave, as of June
80, when the agency is due to expire.
The House has ordered $4,000 re-
turned to the Treasury, leaving
slightly more than a million dollars
to pay all other expenses through
the remainder of the fiscal year.
OPA officials declare it will take
about $6,OOO,OOO additional to carry
the agency that far, even If the full
$17651 900 is available.
There can be no doubt that OPA is
nearing the end of it's usefulness,
but to kill it abruptly with an ILL
considered stab in the back would
be reckless in the extreme. If the
House believes that rents and sugar
need no further control, it should
put itself on record to that effect,
frankly and openly. For the effect
Of the House action would be to
kill the OPA and hence all controls
by indirection.
Chairman Bridges of the Senate
Appropriation Committee has ex-
pressed belief that the Senate, while
favoring liquidation of OPA as soon
as feasible, will insist that the death
sentence be imposed in a painless
and orderly manner. 1t is to be
hoped that he reflects the views
of majority of his colleagues. The
Star believes he reflects the views of
a majority of the Senate's constitu-
ents. If these reasonable views are
needed, the Senate will reject the
House slash and vote whatever funds
are necessary to enable the OPA to
carry out the full responsibilities"
placed upon it by Congress.

balancing the budget are futile. Con-
gress might well amend the Budget and
Accounting Act, for example, to provide
that until the national debt falls below
a particular figure, the Presidents budg-
ct for expenditures should be three
billion less than the estimated receipts
from current or proposed taxation. 1t
could bring about greater coordination
between the taxing and spending side
of the executive branch by reassigning
the Bureau of the Budget to the Treas
ary Department, so that the cabinet
officer responsible for raising the neces-
sary funds could also have some voice
in the amount to be expended. And
most important of all-at the end Of a
fiscal year, when all the regular appro-
priation bills have been sent to the
White House, Congress should require
the Ways and Means and Senate. Finance
Committees to reconvene. Only at such
a time is it possible to know the extent
to which actual appropriations have
thrown the budget out of line and to
make the necessary adjustments in the
revenue bills

Miqrution to South America

Inc immigration agreement just
signed between the Argentine and
Italian governments, following hard
on similar agreement between Ar
gentina and Spain, is important, not
only in itself but also as the most
outstanding aspect of a trend evi
dent throughout South America.
Current conditions would certainly
seem to favor large-Scale migration
from Europe to the southern part
of the New World. War-ravaged
Europe cannot at present adequately
support it's population, and many
millions of its people ardently desire
to seek their fortune in newer and
more favored lands. South America
is still in its formative period, with
vast latent resources needing man
power for their development. The
relation between human supply and
demand is thus obvious.
South Americas present condition
resembles in many ways that of the
United States during the Nineteenth
Century, when our national growth
was greatly Quickened by vast flow
of immigration. However, the South
American countries seem determined
to avoid the haphaZard influx which
came to us with minimum of selec-
ton or inspection. The Argentine
government of President Peron plans
a great addition to its human stock,
but intends to choose those whom
it admits with reference to Argen-
tine needs. The agreement with
Italy provides that workers, artisans
and technicians be given preference,
and that, while no overall limit is
set, the migratory influx will be reg
ulated in accordance with Argen-
tinaS ability to- utilize and absorb
the newcomers. Argentina will de-
fray the transit costs, but these must
be repaid by the immigrants in in
stallments deducted from their
wages, and during that period they
will not be permitted to change their
jobs. However, safeguards are pro-
vided against unfair exploitation by
employers, with Italian government
inspectors permitted to see that
standards are maintained.
Argentina's preference for Italians
and Spaniards is due in part to a
desire to receive elements most easily
assimilated. 1t should, of course, be
understood that the present migra-
ton is resumption of a trend that
has been going on for many years.
1t was interrupted by Mussolini's
policy of discouraging emigration to
any lands outside the Italian col
onies. Italians have played a great

RevoIutionizinq Gardening

Amateur gardeners who even this
early in the year are poring over
seed and implement catalogues will
welcome the news from Ohio about
Harry O'Brien's garden slide rule"
Mr.. O'Brien, 1t seems, got tired
during the Victory garden era of
thumbing through encyclopedias
and instruction books to find out
when to plant what, and how deep.
He decided to compile as much in
formation as possible on the COM
mon garden varieties of vegetables
and flowers and cram it onto card
board sheet inserted in perforated
paper jacket. BY sliding the printed
card until the proper opening is
reached, he is able to see at glance
how far apart to plant corn, when
to set out tomato plants and how
long it takes to grow a mess of
beans.
That is all to the good as far as
1t goes. But Mr.. O'Brien would
earn the everlasting gratitude of a
multitude of gardeners if he would
devise a slide rule that would tell
how to keep the crows and the
neighbors' chickens and dogs from
the garden plot, how to coax more
japanese beetles into one of those
traps and how to keep worms out of
the sweet corn. An additional bit
of valuable information would be
how to effect the prompt return of
a borrowed rake or hoe. But that
Is too much to expect even of a
man as ingenious as Mr.. O'Brien.
