Washington (LPA) - The Joint
Congressional Economic Commit
! tee, which is studying President
Truman's Fair Deal program, has
found little concern among the ma
tion's leading economists over the
proposal for an unbalanced budget
for the next fiscal year. The econ
omists expressed much more con-
Germ over the present Relationship
between prices and wages.
Pursuing it's duties under the
full employment law, the Joint
COMMITTEES called the economists in
for a public round-table discussion
of the Presidents economic mess
age and his budget. Under the law,
the Committee must report to Con-
gress by March whether the Pres
ident's program is sound or not.
The economists invited to the
discussion included college pro-
fessors, business economists, and
middle of the road economists en-
ployed by groups without axes to
grind that are seeking an answer
to full employment.
Among them were such Fair
Dealers as Prof. Seymour Harris
of Harvard, and such business
spokesmen as Donald B. Woodward,
of Mutual Life Insurance Co., and
Martin Gainsbrugh, of the Nation
al Industrial Conference Board.
There were some remarkable areas
of agreement over economic policy.
One of these agreements-rather
generally held-was that econ
omists can not yet forecast with
certainty what economic conditions
will be more than few months in
the future. Another, to which sew
eral of the round-table agreed, was
that government policy should be
more flexible, so that it could be
quickly adapted to changing econ
omic conditions, rather than wait
ing until Congress has written new
laws to meet the situation.
There was wide disagreement
over the economic future. Some
held the first half of 1850 wouldn't
be good, the latter part bad. Others
were strongly optimistic about the
future, while still others were quite
disturbed, forecasting poorer
year than in 1949.
V. Lewis Bassie, University of
Illinois, held conditions are now
rather stable, and no great econ
omic programs are necessary. He
was one of those little disturbed by
the deficit, contending that worry
ing about the deficit would not
lead to sound action.
Rep. Rich Or, Pa expressed
great concern at this statement.
He asked whether the deficit could
be continued indefinitely. Bassie
replied the deficit was not large
enough to create inflationary pres
sures, and that it was the result of
postwar needs rather than deliber-
ate policy.
Harris warned that the country,
including Rep. Rich, was suffer-
ing from a public debt neurosis".
AS the committee roared with
laughter, Rich looked very un-

Economists Unworried About The
Deficit, Warn of Public Neurosis

happy, but made no reply. Harris
said this neurosis had bad effect,
because it made people worry and
that it was the job of the econom-
lists to dissipate this worry. But
because of the public neurosis,
Harris said, it was important to
keep the deficit down.
Turning to Senator'S Douglas Cd,
Ill.) and Flanders Or, Vt.), two
of the more intelligent budget-bal-
ancers, Harris pleaded with them
not to worry about the present de-
ficit. He said federal, state and
local governments were now spend
ing only one-seventh of national
output as compared with one-sixth
in the 1930's. "You must not talk,
about the rise in debt and spending
and leave out all the other vari-
ables, such as increased income"
Harris told the Senators.
The Harvard professor sharply
challenged the recent reports of
the Presidents Economic Council,
contending they had repudiated the
economic policy of the New and
Fair Deals. He said recovery from
last years recession was not due to
business cooperation, but to gov
ernment spending.
With national income of $685.
000,O00,000, Harris said, budget
deficit of $5,00O,OO0,000 is "not
matter of great concern" He said
there was a strong probability that
we could not maintain full employ
ment without deficit because pro-
duction is growing, but consump-
tion is tagging.
Arthur Smithies, of Harvard,
expressed concern over the wage
price relationship, asserting that
unless it was better balanced, the
government would have to resort
to deficits to maintain full employ
ment. But he added he would rath-
er do that than "resort to compul-
sorry control of our economy"
Arthur Burns, of the National
Bureau of Economic Research, re-
ported unemployment had increas-
ed in December. He would make no
economic forecasts beyond the next
few months, contending anything
could happen.
Gainbrugh reported that busi-
ness economists were concerned
over the "wave of false optimism"
about 1850 and felt there would be
definite problems by mid-year be-
cause of sagging business invest
ments, sagging agricultural in
come and increasing unemploy-
ment. He forecast unemployment
of AZ million or more, which is
close to AFL estimates.
Professor Paul j. Strayer, of
Princeton, warned that forecasts
beyond few months were of little
value, and said the government
should have more flexible policies
to meet sudden changes in econ
omic conditions. The economy could
turn soon either toward initiation
or unemployment, he said, and the
executive branch should be given
power to meet whatever develops.
Strayer also urged the Commit
tee to worry more about the way
monopoly affects the wage-price
relationship. This issue must be
faced, he added.

Organized labor, it seems to me,
has every reason to concern itself
with investment problems that
vitally affect the competitive posi-
tion of their employers as well as
the conditions under which men
work. A study of union finances,
soon to be made public, shows that
little effort has been made so far
to place union money in industrial
enterprise. Wage increases, as
union leaders and economists are

beginning to. note, are not the
whole answer to the workers econ
omic problems; nor does constant
stress on pay boosts add to labor's
influence in the community.
The hour is drawing near when
union resources will need reward
ing employment in Americas in
dustrial expansion. Unions must
actively participate in financial and
business affairs if they do not wish
to be outdistanced in the race for
a greater share in the nations fu-
ture prospects.

Happenings That Affect the Future

National and International Pro-
blems Inseparable From Local
Welfare

Who invented the electric light!
If you say Edison, you're wrong
it was a Russian named Yabloch-
kov. Who devised the telegraph :?
If you say Morse, you're wrong
again-it was another Russian
named Yakobi. The radio? No, it
wasn't Marconi-it was still anoth-
er Russian named Popov. How
about the first successful flying
machine? If you answer "the
Wright brothers" you'll have to go
to the bottom of the class-a Russ
ian called Mozhaisky flew like a
bird near st. Petersburg 20 years
before the Wrights took off at
Kitty Hawk.
These, and similar revelations,
are disclosed by Edmund Stevens
in the Christian Science Monitor.
He found them in a Soviet mag
azine called the Literary Gazette.
They show, he says, one of the
ways the Soviet party 'woos Russ
ian national pride. The move cor
responds to a vital need of Russ
ians to vindicate their self-respect
and destroy the residue of an old
sense of inferiority. 1t also in
.creases the Russians confidence
in their capacity to catch up with
and outstrip the rest of the world
technically at the present time" 1t
lis in other words, an example of
the kind of morale-building pro-
paganda the government is now
feeding the Russian masses.
Moreover, it is an example of
how the Soviet bosses will use any
untruth or half-truth to serve their
ends. A story has been going the
rounds concerning British Com
munist who went to a meeting of
Russian Communist strategists in
Moscow. He was perplexed as to
how to argue some theological
point or other in England. The
Russians gave him an answer, to
which he objected that it wasn't
true. The Russians looked at him
with amazement-and then burst
into gales of laughter over such
naivete. 1t is said that the incident
was described to the top Russians,
including Stain, and that they
burst into laughter also.
This story may be apocryphal
but it has point. Communist
thinking holds that the end justi-
fies the use of any means. If lie
will work, it is told. Words are
twisted out of all semblance to
what they mean to other nations.
That is touched on in General Wal
ter Bedell Smiths revelations of
his experiences as Ambassador to
Moscow, which appeared serially in
the Saturday Evening Post and are
now out in book form. He, Secre-
tary Marshall, and other Ameri-
cans, he says, "Naively assumed
that the word democracy meant
the same thing to the Politburo
that it did to u.s." Events proved
that nothing could have been
more wrong. The Russians gave
democracy new meaning which
suited them, and thus managed to
give interpretations to information
al agreements which were the ex-
act opposite of what the West had
intended. This policy is one of the
principal reasons for our failure to
meet the Russians on common
ground.

Silence Is Golden

NEW YORK, P)-When a hos pital "quiet" signs on the street, it means what it says.
 The architectural firm of Kahn & Jacobs, New York and Detroit skyscraper designers, found this out in planning a S1O,OO0,OOO ex- pansion for New York's Mt. Sinai hospital on upper Fifth Avenue.
 The hospital decided that all steel work for new 10-story ma ternity pavilion and two large re- search laborities should be noise lessly welded, instead of riveted, despite the added cost. The pro- ject is believed to be the largest welding job ever undertaken.

|8.OOO Communists Riot In Vienna

VIENNA (R-Communist dem- onstrators rioted in the heart of Vienna yesterday and thousands of workers in Russian-controlled industrial plants were reported to have struck in protest againstgov- ernment plans to raise prices along with wages.
 The hard core of some 500 com munists gathered with a mob of nearly 5000 in an attempt to break through police cordon thrown around the Austrian chan cellory.
 While workers from Russian operated plants outside Vienna poured into the city, Soviet au- thorities barred the try of police endorsements summoned by the ministry of interior
 A government spokesman said Red army soldiers threw up road blocks and refused to permit any policeman to leave the district to which he was assigned.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Delegate "Bob' Bartlett was welcomed to the noon meeting of the NWA Chamber of Commerce yesterday by vice-president Larry Calvin who presided, expressing appreciation to MT. Bartlett for his timely message on Monday evening at the public meeting on Civil Defense.
 The chairman called on H. F. Harper who has been Investigating rumors that the company which owned the property on which M.A.F.B. is situated is collecting high rental. Investigation show ed, he stated that the rumors were false and that the reflection cast upon the U. S. Smelling Co.,, has been unfair, and praise should be expressed as the true facts reveal that the C.AA. has a 99 year lease on the property at the rental of one dollar a year.
 As no confirmation has been made of promises agreed upon by Major James Bryan, who came to Nome to assure the citizens of CO., operation, it was agreed, upon motion, that the committee com municate with General Kepner and ascertain the possibility of ob- taining a confirmation of the facts discussed.
 Excerpts from the weekly bull letin of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce reveal that the An chorage Chamber of Commerce has been working for the continu- ation of the Nome Base.
 Delegate Bartlett reviewed from his address at the school Monday night, and pointed out strongly the necessity of the Chambers action in regard to M.AF.B. He also read from a statement of Senator O. Mahoney in relation to statehood, which statement is printed in this issue of the Nugget.
 Delegate Bartlett praised the three Congressmen who are com ing to Nome to investigate, stat ing they were capable, consider ate and very favorable to Alaska.
 In relation to roads MT. Bartlett stated that the Nome-Council road is the first link in the road to the Outside and that Congress would be liberal with road building in Alaska.
 He concluded that the all-over picture for the Norhtwestrn Alaska is very optimistic and that he fa- vored a state organization on eco- homie lines that would be within our means simplifying the usual county form. It will be a tremen- douS job, but AlaskanS can do it.
