Jap Unionists
Defer Again To
MArthur.'s Wish

TOKYO, Feb. Japanese
unionists, threatening to strike,
complied today with another di-
receive issued by General Mac
Arthur.
Express workers, numbering
100000, were all set to go on
strike tonight, but they decided
to call off the threatened strike
when they heard of MacArthur's
directive against it.
Yesterday, 100000 Japs, MEM
bers of unions throughout Japan,
that they were 60
ing to strike if their wages
were not increased and their
weekly hours of work deceased.
Geneal Macarthur, in ordering
that the strike be called off,
pointed out that the japanese
economy was at so low an ebb it
would become for worse were it
tied up with a strike. He explain
ed that he was not interfering
with the unions, as such, but that
he was protecting the interests
of the japanese people as a
whole.

Effect On Key West
OF Federal Budget
Cut OF Four Billion
CONGRESS CONSIDER
ING MEASURE TO OFF,
SETLOSS OF REVENUE
LOCALLY
tFrOm Washington Correspondent
Key West Citizen

(FrOm Washington Correspondent.
Key West Citizen
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. l.
(WNS)-The Congress wants to
put over 100000 additional pur-
chasing power in Key West for
the fiscal year 1948.
This added purchasing power
will not be a pump-priming ap-
preparation, nor will it be a gen.
eral wage increase authorization
which will add this sum of money
to the gross payroll.
The purchasing power increase
will be the share in Key West of
a five and one half billion dol
lar cut in the Presidential bud
get estimate of 81 IL billion.
That is what the budget cut
will amount to locally according
to Representative Thomas A.
Jenkins, Ohio Republican, and a
member of the Joint Budget
committee.
| According to the Congress-
mans estimate the Key West
share of the administration $37
! 1-2 billion budget would amount
to $2,250,000. Under the propos-
ed Congressional budget figure OF
80 billion dollars, the share
of the cost in Key West woulc
be $l,920,000, or a savings o
| $33O,OOO.
The Congressman, points on
! that his estimates are basee
upon measurements of the ability
of Key West taxpayers to pay
taxes, and not on a per capits
basis. On a per capita basis, the
80 billion dollar budget figures
at 1923, he said. and this woulc
mean the local share would be
slightly more than $3,000,00C
more than the amount he figures
local residents will actually pay.
The savings locally, the Con
gresham said, will mean a great
deal more than the actual $780,
900, for the budget cuts will be
accompanied by a corresponding
decrease in taxation. This will
mean a general decline in the
cost of living. thus making each
Of the saved dollars worth more.
according to Representative
Jenkins.
That is why, he said, it will be
more beneficial to the local and
national economy than pump
printing" grant, or a general
wage increase. for both such pol
icies would indicate a rise in
taxes or prices, or both.
The 10 billion dollars saved
under the proposed budget cuts
nationally. he said, would pur-
chase over a pound of butter a
