DR.. Stuart, whose speech was read

Materialistic Struggle.
THE struggle now is between god
less materialism-the dialectic OF
purely economic determination-and
belief in spiritual realities" he said.
Asserting that Communism repre-

the situation in Asia constitutes "a
challenge of fascinating interest to
Christian faith. For instead Of
clashing with venerated religious
traditions or with ignorant super

and spiritual values moving in the
direction Of social progress"

Out Of Prices
Nourse Warns Against
Excessive Spending on
Arms, Marshall Plan
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman today re-
ceived an optimistic picture Of
the current consumer price { t.
uation, coupled with a warning
that excessive military and Eu-
ropean recovery expenditures
would carry a new inf1ationary
threat.
The information came from DR..
Edwin G. Nourse. who told reporters
he had advised the President that
there has been some flattening out
of prices-at any rate they're not
jumping through the ceiling"
DR.. Nourse, chairman of the Presi-
dents Council of Economic Advisers,
recently was named by Mr.. Truman
to head a cabinet Co-ordinating
Committee to plan the anti-inf1ation
program which the administration
will submit to the new Congress next
month. He is to meet with the
cabinet group at the White. House
at o'clock this afternoon.
DR.. Nourse said food prices are
moving down at slower rate after
the down turn that accompanied
the midsummer slump in agricul-
tural commodities.
Clothing, he continued, "is soften
ing in quite a number of items"
Rents, he said, show creeping
advance
Situation Might Be Reversed.
In neither clothing or food did Dr..
Nourse specify any particular items
he had in mind.
If budgetary expenditures go up,
the price situation might be re-
versed. = it would put pressure on
the other side" DR.. Nourse said.
He explained that the optimistic
picture he gave the President is
based on military expenditures Of
the next year that will not exceed
IS billion dollars and four and one
half billion for the Marshall Plan.
These two figures he described as
within the balancing area" and
said anything in excess might tip
the scales, into the inflationary area.
Because Mr.. Truman is busy, he
is not expected to sit in on the
meeting of the anti-inf1ation CO.
ordinating group today, but DR..
Nourse said he hopes he will at.
tend later sessions. Those officials
with whom DR.. Nourse is working
are Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder, Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan, Secretary OF Interior
Krug, Secretary of Labor Tobin.
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer, and
Chairman McCahe Of the Federal
Reserve Board.
Representative Of the Budget
Bureau also attended the first
meeting last week. In the mean
time. under officials of the depart
ments have been consulting with
Dr. Nourse.
DR.. Nourse said Mr.. Truman was
much gratified with today's report
because he is greatly concerned over
the inflationary situation"

Budget Director Sees
u, :, Deficit Unless
Taxes Are Raised
Expects Spending in 1850
To Exceed AZ Billions
In Current Expenditure
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Dec. 2.-Budget Di-
rector James E. Webb said today
Federal spending in the next
fiscal year threatens the Gov
ernment with a deficit unless
taxes are raised.
Mr. Webb interrupted his work on
the budget. which President Truman
will present to Congress next month";
to address meeting of State gov
ernment officials at the ninth BIZ
ennial general assembly of the
States.
He said in his prepared speech
that 1850 spending will top this
years $4,000 O0o,O 900, adding:
This means that under present
tax laws we face the possibility of a
deficit at a time when a surplus is
needed to help curb inflationary
pressures, reduce the public debt
and provide some reserve against
the unpredicta5le hazards Of a worlo
not yet at peace
States Also Face Deficits.
Mr.. webb added that not only
the Federal Government but also
many of the States and their sub
divisions face deficits"
1T is true high prices and high
employment have increased tax
yields" he said, but the rate OF
this increase appears to be slacken-
ing of, whereas the demands for
governmental services are still in
creasing."
Mr.. Webb attributed the Federal
Governments rising cost outlook
chiefly to almost certain in
creased spending for national de-
fense, the European Recovery Pro-
gram, and interest on the public
debt.
Increased outlays there. he said,
promise to outweigh reduced costs
of veterans programs and tax re.
funds.
The hard and inescapable fact is
that our Federal budget is large
and Is most difficult to reduce be-
cause our commitments are large"
Mr.. Webb said.
Grants are Cited.
He cited Federal grants to State
and local governments as "one of
the segments of the Federal budget
in which there is little possibility of
adjustment in any one fiscal year
"Of the $4,000, 900, 900 for fiscal
year 1949 (Which started last July II
81 900 900, 900, or nearly per cent
is for these grants in aid. From
the point of view of Federal budget
ing, nearly all of this Is a fixed COM
mitment."
