from appropriations enacted in
some prior year.
Thus it is seen that appropria.
tons enacted by Congress are no,
necessarily spent in the ensuing
year. 1t is entirely possible that
appropriations, enacted in a year
when revenue estimates are high.
may be actually spent in some
subsequent year when revenue is
low.
Deficits are the direct result Of
expenditures not current appro.
priations-in excess of revenue. In
enacting appropriation bills Con.
gress seldom fixes any limitation
on the time in which appropria-
tons shall be spent, making i'm.
possible to compare revenue with
appropriations, because revenue
invariably is figured in terms OF
cash deposits in the Treasury dur.
ing a single year, whereas ap-
preparations are not confined tc
cash Withdrawals from the Treas.
ury during the same period.
Despite the incongruity which
pervades the whole procedure, the
President persists in submitting a
budget based principally upon ap.
preparations and revenue, and Con.
gress acts upon it in the same
terms. There was a time, back
before World War I. when appro-
priations and expenditures were
virtually identical, and the gov
eminent was operated practically
on an annual fiscal basis. Buk.
that was before the days Of big
projects and big expenditures,
and those days have gone.

Why was this unproductive, un-

vegetable crops during the short sum-

mineral wealth?

looking for suckers.

the Presidents budget to meet re.

Aside from the elements Of con.
fusion involved in the present bud
get contentious, the entire fiscal
system of the federal government
is complicated by d confusion OF
terms, inadequacy of expenditure

techniques and language, and
complete lack Of facilities for
keeping expenditures in balance
with revenue at the legislative

Perhaps the confusion between
appropriations and expenditures
causes the most difficulty. The
difference between them may be
illustrated by an analysis of the
Presidents budget requests made
last January. AT that time he rec.
commended appropriations totaling
$32 IL billion. Four billion dollars
o. this were for items which were
not to be paid for until some fiscal
year after 1948, and $28 IL billion
were for expenditures during 1913.
At the same time he revealed that
the total of actual expenditures
during 1913 would reach $37 IL

Roxas Wants Christian Peace

President Roxas of the Philippines
voiced the sentiment Of the American
people and government, and certainly
the earnest wish of General Mac
Arthur, when, in the course Of a VI
Day anniversary speech, he hoped that
the peace treaty with Japan might be
speedily concluded. "Our ambition" he
said, "is to show our neighbors that
democracy can thrive in the tropics"
The address vas broadcast by the
Philippine Broadcasting Company and
was flown, as recorded, to the United
States for release in this country. Mr..
Roxas declared that the conclusion of
the treaty "is essential to the restora-
ton of mutually beneficial economic re-
~lations, and will prove a stabilizing
influence in this part of the world"
What kind of a treaty should it be
"We do not desire a vindictive peace"
he declared. 1--WE want a Christian
peace; a peace that will provide for
military disarmament of Japan and in
sure for the people Of that nation equal
opportunity and freedom to work out
their own salvation under a regime of
democracy"
Of course MI. Roxas proposes an adj
venture in idealism. Of course there is
the possibility that the Japanese can
not. now or later, conform to the cardi-
nal principles of democracy. Older Jap
anese, who have lived under a system
foreign to these principles, admit they
have difficulty in understanding what
democracy actually is. Their position is
easily understood when it is remember
ed that the Russian and the American
definitions of democracy are poles
apart.
But for all these things, it is still
important to place Japan on a peace
time basis as quickly as possible, not
only for the economic advantages that
might accrue, but as a test to determine
If East and West can meet and live
without recurring threats Of conflict.
This question must be answered by &C
tual experiment. The sooner the exper-
iment is started the sooner will it be-
come known if one world is within the
realm of human accomplishment.
1t is not Japan, we believe, that Of
fers the greatest threat to one world,
but the Soviet Union, which is as I'M
cooperative with the western democra-
cies in the Orient as in Europe.

WASHINGTON - Real reason
behind President Truman's veto
of the bill to set a U. S.
scientific research foundation is
that the people pushing this pro-
posal got too darn smart and slick
and scientific for their own good.
But the veto is apt to be mis-
understood unless the whole his
tory of the bill is known.
Sen. Alexander Smith of New
Jersey, who authored the bill this
year, says the veto will set
science back ten years. Well, it
should be no great trick for Con-
gress to pass a revised bill next
year. Besides which, the last Con-
gress appropriated no money to
set up the Science Foundation
next year. So nothing could have
been done if the President had
signed the bill. and no time has
been lost at all.
Smith also accused the Presi-
dent OF playing political football
with the bill. But it would be diff
ficult to make the science bill
more of a political football than
it has been in Congress for the
past five years. .
In 1912 West Virginia Democra-
tic Sen. Harley M. Kilgore first
got interested in trying to mo
Billie science by law. Nobody else
was interested in this subject,
however. Kilgore revised his bill
in 1913 and "A, but it still made
no progress.
Then in July, 1945, DR.. Vanne-
var Bush Of the Office of Scientif-
ic Research and Development
made his famous Science, the
endless Frontier report to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
BY strange coincidence, Sen.
Warren Magnuson of Washington
Immediately introduced a bill
which would exactly carry out the
Bush recommendations. It beat
Kilgore's introduction Of the 1945
version of his bill by just a few
days.
The Magnuson and Kilgore bills
differ on three points.
Kilgore wanted the government
to own and to grant free license
to use all patents developed on
government financed research.
Business groups opposed that.
They wanted private industry to
do the researchs own the patents,
and reap the profits On them.
Kilgore thought the government
should run the whole research
through tull-tima direc-

Too Darn Scientific

tors named by the President.
Bush wanted the directors to work
only as part-time advisers.
Third point of difference was
that Kilgore wanted research in
the social sciences, while Bush
wanted it confined to exact
sciences.
After joint hearings on these and
several other bills, the Senate in
1916 passed a bill in line with
Kilgore's ideas.
But by a fast end run, Senator
Magnuson was influential in get
ting the House to take up his bill,
incorporating the Bush ideas. A
House Commerce subcommittee
began hearings under the impress
sion that it vas considering the
Senate approved bill. When the
chairman of this subcommittee. J.
Percy Priest of Tennessee, found
out different, he let the hearings
die, and the bill with it.
This year the Republicans came
back strong, took the ball away
from Democrats Kilgore and Mag
nuson, and proceeded to run with
it. The name was changed to the
Smith bill. To no ones surprise.
it incorporated the Bush ideas.
A compromise was reached on
the patent provisions.
Social science research was
killed off.
On administration, Bush took
every trick. AS the bill to create
a National Science Foundation
was passed, the President was to
name "a members, giving due
consideration to recommendations
by the National Academy of
Sciencetof which Bush is head
the land grant colleges and the
state universities.
These "a were to meet and elect
an executive committee of nine.
These nine would name the di.
rector. The nine and the "a would
then 60 home. The nine would
meet every two months and the
"a once a year, to advise and
recommend. In the meantime. the
director would be the scientific
little tin god. Congress would
have no control over him and
neither would the President.
This is apparently why the
President thought he'd better veto
the bill. Its hackers had been just
a little too cute in trying to set
up a show that they could run, free
from what they call government

Sound Budget Procedure
BY SENATOR HARRY f. BYRD of Virginia

Much is being said and written
in and out of Washington about
how much the presidents budget
for the federal fiscal year 194s
was or was not cut by Congress
before its recent adjournment,
and the controversy will be en-
livened by the Presidents own cal
culations in his forthcoming mid
year budget revisions.
From any point OF view the
amount of reduction is important.
but the point to be criticized at
this date is the fact that such
a controversy over what should be
a simple arithmetical certainty is
possible at all. However, the con-
troversy is not a mere possibility,
it is actually in progress, with
political and economic implica-
tons.
As a matter o: fact, in the con-
fusion which permeates the entire
appropriation procedure, all Of the
estimates probably are disputable.
Basically, most of the confusion
originates in the frequent failure
to distinguish between federal ap-
preparations and expenditures, be-
tween appropriations and contract
authorizations, and between ap-
preparations and authorizations to
incur deficits.
In addition to these sources Of
confusion other factors involved in
the current controversy include
the status of old appropriations
against which rescissions were en-
acted, the fact that certain ap-
preparations requested by the
President for immediate use in
fiscal year 1947 did not become
available until 1913 due TO delay

Wine Out Rent Controls

A recent item in the daily papers lett
readers staring with disbelief. Surely, they
must have msread that item or the headline
was in error. "Rent controls must be wiped
out as the next imperative step to lick the
housing shortage" was the startling state
ment.
There was no error That companion to
the National Association of Manufacturers,
the National Association of Real Estate
Boards had the unprecedented effrontery TO
publicly demand the end of rent controls.
This is the final evidence that the profit bloat-
ed realtors have tossed the last vestige OF
caution to the winds and now reveal themsel-
YES openly as the calous money hungry pir-
ates we long suspected them to be.
Not satisfied with the millions pouring in
to their avaricious claws through the sale of
shacks and shanties at fabulous prices, they
want to throw the average tenant to the vol
yes and greedily gain at the misfortune OF
those who will be forced to buy because they
can no longer afford to rent.
These vampires and ghouls have no con-
science-al they have is an Unsuitable thirst
for more and more money-taken, If need be,
by the life's blood of their victim in true vam-
pire fashion.
His only recourse would be to buy from
the real estate buccaneers with their shoddy
shacks at mansion prices. After squeezing
out the biggest possible down payment the
realtors then would mortgage for life the pur-
chaser through payments which would bleed
him dry.
Without controls, rents would skyrocket
just as prices have. The shortage of housing
is so acute that it would take ten uninterrupt-
ed years of record breaking construction just
to meet the most urgent needs Of the people,
A rent initiation will have disastrous con-
sequences for the great bulk Of the American
people, who are already hard put to make
ends meet because of the pressure of skyrock-
eting food prices. Higher rents will bring
lower living standards; they will not end the
housing shortage. Increased rents make it

High Prices and Savings

The grind of high prices and initiation
against the population is revealed by some
figures gathered by the Federal reserve
Board. The savings of American people are
falling off rapidly. During the war, the
American people are falling off rapidly. Dur
inc the war. the American population saved
20 per cent of its income In 1915, the popu'
]ation saved II per cent of it's income, but il
1916. with rising prices the population saved
only eight per cent of it's income. Though
the lower groups were able to save as a whole,
the large segment of thenl-31 per cent of
the people in the same group-report losses
or dis-saving.
1t must be pointed out that this is a dang
er signal It does not mean a fatal conclusion,
but it is an indication of the vast discrepancy
between income and outgo.

AWAY"

Workers shouldn't overlook the action just
taken by General Electric, one of Americas
largest monopoly corporations. Years ago,
General Electric set up 'profit-sharing'
plan The main object was to keep unions
out of its plants. OF course GE didn't reveal
that secret Instead it said it wanted its
workers to feel they were partners in the
big electric trust.
Now, GE announces that profit-sharing
has been wiped out. It didn't stop to consult
its workers; just said forget it"
That's what always happens when work.
ers depend on some welfare scheme "The
boss giveth and the boss taketh away" Cur
iously enough the officials of CE continue to
share the profits.
To satisfy the criticism which followed its
first announcement, GE says it is now going
to give its employees pensions. Before GE
workers become enthusiastic over that sug-
gestion, they should look under the chip. Our
guess is they will find another large-sized
bug and will discover that the bosses can jerk
the rug from under their feet whenever they
see fit
