BUDGET CUT:
Indifferent

With little discussion and a good
deal of outright Indifference, the
senate adopted a resolution to cut
President Truman's fiscal 1949
budget by 25 billion dollars.
How much significance the SEN
ate resolution would have in the
final analysis was questionable, in
view of prevailing uncertainties
which might affect both sides of the
ledger.
The 25-billion-dollar reduction
would leave an estimated 10 billion
dollars for tax cuts and debt reduc-
ton. Republicans, therefore, were
feeling increasingly confident that
an income tax slash of up to S bill
lion dollars could be enacted.
Brevity Of the senate discussion
and it's lack Of apoplectic oratory
was in direct contrast to last years
strident contest over the budget
committees recommendation of a
6-billion-dollar cut in the 1948
budget.
Democrats made no effort to
block the proposed spending slash
which had been recommended by
the house-senate budget committee.
It still requires house adoption.
Biggest bug in the senate's budget
recommendation was the fact that
it probably embodied number Of
inaccurate estimates. Republican
sponsors Of the measure admitted
that accurate estimates of budget
needs were impossible at the time.
Sen. Styles Bridges (Rep., N. H.,
chairman of the budget committee,
compared the estimates with "a
pre-game guess at the final score."
But Sen. Alben Barkley Oem., Ky.)

IRELAND:
Ne1U Premier

Even to members of the Fire as
sembly who had helped. defeat him
it was strange to see Eamon De
Valera, premier of Ireland for 16
years, sitting quietly on the opposite
side of the house as leader of the
opposition.
In his place as premier was John
A. Costello, former attorney gen.
eral, whom the assembly had voted
into office after new SiX-party CO.
alition had taken control of the leg
islative group as a result Of the
previous elections.
Costello, in a dignif1ed speech to
the assembly, explained his sudden
emergence as premier of Ireland:
81 consented to this nomination at
the request of a number Of parties
who felt that the interest of the
country required that there should
be an inter-party government and
that the premier of that govern
ment should occupy position in
political life detached from the con-
troversial bitterness of the past"
The "inter-party government"
whose choice Costello was is COM
pounded of six political parties of
apparently divergent ideals: Re-
publican, United Ireland, Labor, Ma
tional Labor, Independent and
Farmers.
Just how long government
made up of so many diverse COM
ponents would last was the subject
of much speculation in Ireland. In
their present cooperative mood the
parties of the coalition may carry
on for year or two, but few were
prepared to give the government
much longer span of life.

NEWS REVIEW
Aid for China Asked;
Senate OKs Budget Cut

Although it was obvious that his
heart wasn't in it, President Tru-
man presented congress with a re-
quest for $40 million dollars to be
sent to China as a prop for the
laundering economy of Chang Kai-
shek's Nationalist government.
White House and state depart
ment sources admitted that the re-
quest was something less than a
half-measure and claimed that the
President had acted under pressure
from the Republican congress
which has insisted that the U. S.
must support Chang against the
Communist revolution in connection
with the European recovery plan.
At best the $40 million dollars is
token gesture-just a chip in rela-
tion to the vast amount Of timber
that would be needed to restore the
rotting derelct of Chiang's govern
ment.
Theory behind this latest extern
sion of aid, which will be used to
finance Chinese imports of cereals,
petroleum, coal, fertilizer and so
forth, is that the money will enable
Chiang's government to free other
resources for purchase of arms and
ammunition to continue the fight
against the Communist guerrillas.
But that is more of an idle hope
than a valid theory, because the
government forces, despite their
American arms and equipment, are
being bested consistently by the
Communists.

Taft-Hartley Issue
Losing Its Potency

There has been a lot of noise over
the Taft-Hartley act lately, and on
the surface it looks as if the law
might become an issue in the presi-
dental campaign. If that should
happen, it certainly would help the
prestige of Senator Taft. But the
old-timers say it can't happen.
AS you know, last autumn, right
after the act went into effect, lot
of people felt it's provisions would
decide the votes in the bye-elections.
But those elections came and went,
and it was hard to adduce any sta
tistics to prove that TIL had figured
very much, if at all.
Later on, animosity against the
law died down. But now both the
CIO and AFL have announced their
preliminary plans for campaigning
against the men who voted for it;
Taft has used it in his campaign
speeches in Midwest centers where
labor is strong; Philip Murray was
indicted under its provisions, and
both Murray, representing the CIO,
and the International Typographers'
union have charged it is unconstitu-
tional. But the issue still fails to
command any real dramatic in
tereSt.
This is another proof of how a
controversial issue that calls
forth bitter debate and stirs up
nationwide interest at the mo-
ment, can fade into the back
ground as time passes, and by
election day have little or no
effect on votes.

duced to give a touch of verisi-
Multitude to an otherwise nOt-tOO-
convincing narrative. The sOoth-
sayers say that several methods
were pursued, some of them
successfully. For example, the
President slam-banged at what
he called the gamblers" in
commodities who were driving
up food prices by speculating in
grain and other futures.
That did open Pandora's box,
and some of the plaques released
alighted on the very rooftree of the
White House. But it also threw a
scare into the marketeers and the
markets.
Then came the day of a White
House press and radio conference
when the President made a remark
credited at the time by some of
his friends as an unhappy slip -
when he said that if the cost Of liv-
ing was not controlled, there would
be a crash. That got headlines,
frightened a lot of little fellows who
pulled out their chips, and, combin-
ing with other evil Jinns released
from the economists Jim bottles,
did the trick.
