SUPPORT:
China

Although it was obvious that his
heart wasn't in it, President Tru-
man presented congress with re-
quest for $40 million dollars to be
sent to China as prop for the
laundering economy of Chang Kali
Shek's Nationalist government.
White House and state depart
ment sources admitted that the re-
quest was something less than a
haH-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-
ton to the vast amount of timber
that would be needed to restore the
rotting derelict of Chiang's govern
merlt.
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 valid theory, because the
government forces, despite their
American arms and equipment. are
being bested consistently by the
Communists.
Chiang's government (Kuomin-
eang) army has no morale, no will
to fight. And that condition is the
inevitable result Of the continuing
:, corruption and venality of Chinese
political officials who also have
operated to keep China economi-
.cally PROSTATE.
Thus, the U. S. policy in China,
committed to support Chang, is on
the rocks. 1t is manifestly futile to
keep pouring dollar aid into what
has come to be the biggest opera
ton rathole'' Of them all. The state
: department is wondering whether it
has any. alternative except the ex-
ereme one Of sending. American
troops to China to do the actual
work of stopping the Communist
guerri1las.

BUDGET CUT:
Indifferent

With little discussion and a good
deal of outright indifference, the
senate adopted resolution to cut
President Truman's fiscal 1949
budget by rs billion dollars.
How much significance the sem
ate resolution would have in the
final analysis was questionable, in
view Of prevailing uncertainties
which might affect both sides of the
ledger.
The 2.5-billion-dollar reduction
would leave an estimated 10 billion
dollars for tax cuts and debt reduc-
ton. Republicans, therefore, were
feeling increasingly confident that
m income tax slash of up to bill
lion dollars could be enacted.
Brevity of the senate discussion
and its 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
1t probably embodied number Of
inaccurate estimates. Republican
sponsors Of the measure admitted
that accurate estimates Of budget
needs were impossible at the time.

SURPLUS:
Biggest EUer

Tax payments on record high in
come and reduced government
spending have brought the govern
ment's budget surplus UP to whop-
ping $4,O73, 951, 189 for the current
fiscal year, treasury records show.
That amount is well over half of
the 7.4-bilion-dollar surplus Presi-
dent Truman had predicted would
be on hand by June 30. 1948, and it is
by far the largest surplus the gov
eminent ever had on hand.
Biggest full year surplus which
the treasury has recorded up to this
time was about LIS billion dollars,
amassed in the Coolidge admins
tration more than 20 years ago.
The current surplus is more than
double the III billion dollars on
hand at this time year ago. The
last fiscal year (1946-4D ended with
a 754-million-dc- ar surplus, accord
ing to treasury records. Govern
ment spending generally exceeds
income in April, May and June.
Surplus funds are being used to
cut down the national debt, now
standing at 254.7 billion dollars.

It was just as simple as anything,

Meat Supply

AS far as meat supply is con-
cerned the situation is reasonably
alarming, reported the department
Of agriculture, developing further
its now familiar theme that the ma
ton faces a meat shortage of con.
siderable proportions this spring.
Livestock numbers on farms and
ranches declined last year to their
lowest level since. 1889, the depart
ment's crop reporting board an

steadily since reaching an all-time

GRAIN CAP:.
Not Closed

Never man inclined to extremes
Of optimism, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Clinton Anderson has warned
that although the world grain situa-
ton has improved considerably this
year it has not yet caught up with
world needs.
He predicted, moreover, that next
years demand against the United
States supplies will be about 300
million bushels Of wheat and 100
million bushels of coarse grain.
Not only that, said Anderson, the
high demand for U. S. grain prob
ably will continue, for from three to
five years, and he expressed the
hope that an international wheat
agreement would be in effect by
that time to assure continued ex-
port market thereafter.
In presenting detailed analysis
OF grain developments in the past
year, Anderson:
I Defended department Of agri-
l.. culture export grain buying
practices and said that the average
price paid by the government has
been less than that paid by major
milling companies.
= Stated unreservedly that the
Gs government will continue it's
policy Of remaining out of the grain
market until a more stable condi-
ton is established and that future
export buying will be designed SO
as to have as little effect on prices
as possible.
2 Predicted the government will
~ purchase between 30 million
and so million bushels of new crop
wheat next June from the early
crop movement.

|ECA Offers Guarantee
OF Dollar Return as
u. ). investment Spur
By the kssociofsd Press


ECA Administrator Paul G. Hof-
man today offered American capital
what he called "a substantial in
ducement" to make investments in
Western Europe.
| The inducement is a guarantee
that foreign currency received by
investors will be paid in dollars.
Such guarantees were authorized
in the $4,000, 100000 Marshall Plan
Act.
ut is believed that the power to
issue guarantees can be OF great
value in aiding recovery within the
participating countries" Mr.. Hof1-
man said in a statement.
Mr.. Hoffman invited filing of ap-
plications for guarantees as rapidly
as possible. The goal is 5000, 900 900
in private investments in Marshall
Plan countries.
Guarantees will stand for IA
years. Foreign currencies received
as the proceeds Of investments will
be transferred into United States
dollars UP to 100 per cent Of the
amount invested. The transfers will
be at the current rates of exchange
recognized by the Government.
Mr.. Hoffman emphasized there Is
no guarantee of profits. Nor is there
any insurance against ordinary
business risks" or political risks"
Mr.. Hoffman said applications for
guarantees will be judged by the
degree to which such investment
will serve the primary purpose" OF
the European Recovery Program.
Generally fee Of per cent OF
the amount Of each guarantee will
be charged. Under unusual cir
cumstances," Mr.. Hoffman said, the
fee may be smaller.

We Jews of America have al

secure and permanent. Nearly

confinement, counting the slowly
dragging days, one by one, pray

endure to the day of deIiverance,
