SENATOR FREAR
Continued from Page One

form or other apprehension about
another subject directly bearing on
fhe lives of every American wage
Garner and his family. That SUBJ
ject is Federal Spending. So broad
a question cannot be properly dis
cussed in brief talk such as this.
but I think it incumbent upon me
to say publicly now, what I have
privately written and said to hun
dreds of business people and pri-
vate individuals since last January.
I definitely and Fundamentally
favor reduction in Federal spend
ing, and I cannot stress too strong
ly the need for a balanced budget.
We are all aware that since 1888
the Government has made enorm-
Gus outlays of Federal funds, both
for our domestic needs and our for
eign commitments as well. THE
prosecution of the war placed al
most unheard of demands On the
Federal Treasury. True, our ma
tional income was greatly increas-
ed during this time, but sc We're
taxes with the result that the Gov
ernment was taking back from
every wage Garner a very large
share of his income. There is no
question but that much of the Gov
ernment outlay of funds was neces-
sary. Certainly the vigorous war
effort in our own behafr and that
of our allies would not have been
possible without Uncle SANS pock-
etbook.
Now, however, in this important
year of 1949, We are hopeful at
least, of settling down to a period
of peaceful living. I say hopeful
because the uncertainty of world
events leaves us no course but to
be ever vigilant. With this back
ground, the American people are
rightfully looking to the Govern
ment for an accurate accounting of
its stewardship. While 1 do not be-
heve that the prevalent fear of a
serious recession is justified, none
theless there has been very defin-
lite Tightening up. Jobs are not
quite so plentiful as they were.
Money does not flow as freely as it
perhaps did few years ago. Such
a condition, believe, should not
promote undue alarm, but it should
make us all realize that to permit
our great economy to expand to its
full capabilities, we must continu-
ally keep on the job. The prosper
ity and national well-being of our
people demands the interest and at
tention of us all.
I know that it is distressing to
continually face high taxes which
some people feel are more than our
economy can safely stand. For
that reason Congress is looking to
1the job of cutting down. Specific
ally, believe, that a substantial
cut of perhaps one billion dollars
can be made in the budget of our
armed services. A reduction may
also be effected in our appropria-
tions for the Marshall Plan. Furth-
'er saving is possible through a |
substantial cut in the number of
Federal employees. Perhaps one of
the most outstanding methods by
which Federal funds can be reduc-
ed is through the adoption of the
proposals for Reorganization of the
Government. This, of course, is

trust any of those get-thin-quick
diets. Simply cut down on desserts,
bread, butter, sweets and fats-but
when you do, even do your cutting
down moderately"
From where sit, moderation
is the watchword. Moderation
with food, with smoking or with
the enjoyment of a friendly glass
of temperate beer or ale. Actually,
moderation adds to the enjoyment
of just about anything.
