FEDERAL DEFICIT AHEAD

=
An official review of the Federal bud
get indicates a deficit of SIS. 500, 900, 900 in
this fiscal year instead of the $900, OO0, 600
deficit forecast By the President in his
January message to Congress.
The deficit is explained by an increase
of $1,000. o0O, 900 in expenditures and a
prospective decline of $4,000. 600. 900 in re-
ceipts due to declining national income.
The other $500, 100000 represents the
deficit predicted by the President last
winter.
The prospective deficit compares with
one Of $1,000. 100000 in the l949 fiscal
year which ended last June S0th, and
SURPRISES of $s.400. GOO. 900 in the Is4s
fiscal year and $754, 000, 900 in the 1917 ac-
counting period.
While there may be many explana-
tons for the deficit that looms ahead, ii
should be apparent to the people of this
country. and to those in official position,
that the United States cannot operate
permanently on deficit basis. While it
is impossible to say exactly how far the
national debt can safely 60. no gift Of
prophecy is necessary to state that it
cannot go on forever.

TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES VITAL

Transportation IS tremendous indus
Try III the United States and one that
means much to the economic life Of the
nation and, in times or war, to It's national
existence. ]. NJ
OF course, the main source OF trahspol-
tation is the railway system, which, ~ lts
day, was heavily subsidized by govern
mental units. Ii now faces the eompetl-
ton Of other forms Of transportation put
still remains 1.-THE largest mover OF COM
merce.
In recent years, the railways have run
into stiff competition from domestic air
lines and from motor trucks and buses.
The railroads assert that the motor trans
ports are subsidized through the con-
struetion of highways and everybody
knows that the airlines of the nation re-
ceive liberal subsidies from the govern
ment in the form Of payments for carry
ing mail.
Sometimes, in inland areas. the I'M
portance of our waterways Is overlooked.
Gradually, an Increasing amount Of COM
merce is hauled IN heats, both along the
coast and up some az the larger rivers, In
international trade, Of coarse. the freight
ers must operate ii the United States IS
to be trading nation.
More recently. there have come into
being pipelines for the transportation of
oil. gasoline and natural gas. These forms
of transportation. particularly suitable to
the products mentioned. are gradually be-
ing constructed throughout the country
and seem to be ! logical development in
the art of transportation.
One can appreciate the importance Of
modern. efficient and economical trans
portation in the life Of the country by
visaalizing conditions in China. where
lacks of transportation is largely response
Bile for the slow progress of that area. In
addition, the inability to quickly move sur
plus foods from one area to starving peO-
pie in other provinces multiplies the deaths
from starvation.
In connection with this discussion of
transportation. we call attention to a
recently made by Charles
L. bearing and Wilfred Owen. both
connected with the Bookings Institute
and recently directors Of the Hoover Com
missions Study on Transportation.
The authors point out that the finan--
eial position of the majority Of the nations
carriers is weak despite record levels of
peacetime traffic. Less favorable economic
conditions would make the outlook for
modernization and financial health in the
air transport industry even less promising
Moreover. the present situation endangers
the survival of private ownership of trans
port enterprises.
The transportation experts would set
up a Secretary of Transportation, with
Cabinet status, and combine the present
duties Of independent regulatory agencies.
The new body would provide regulation
of all transportation facilities and, in line
with sound economic conditions and techn-
illogical progress, seek to establish a uni
fled national transportation policy and
the necessary organization to eliminate
the contradictions and inequities of deal
ING with each form of transportation by
separate regulatory bodies
