This same problem is likely to
be the main topic of conversation
with French Finance Minister
Maurice Petsche when he arrives
for financial talks later this week.
Congress has appropriated a
total of s5,225. ZOO, 900 to aid re-
armament in nearly dozen
friendly nations. About 81 bill
lion of this is earmarked for nine
North Atlantic Pact countries
Britain, France, Belgium, The
Netherlands. Luxembourg, Nor
way, Denmark. Italy and Por-
tugal.
Preliminary estimates of the
additional rearmament necessary
in Western Europe already indi-
cate this sum may not be enough.
Some officials believe President
Truman may have to request ad-
ditional funds early next year to
make faster rearmament possible
as a warning to Russia against
any attack on the North Atlantic
area.
Spending to Rise to 400 Per Cent.
The Army said yesterday it has

year for arms equipment to be

1t originally planned to spend
about $500 million, but since Con-

its estimate by 81 billion.
In the same statement, the
Army said it has increased by
500 per cent the amount it plans
to spend for its own hardware
guns, tanks, ammunition and
other weapons.
It said that before the out
break OF the Korean war ii
planned to spend about 1912 mil

Idaho's two congressional dis
tricts are represented by a Demo
crat and a Republican. Neithe,

both unsuccessfully sought sena-
torial nominations. Representa-
tive White, Democrat, has repre-
sented the First District, regarded
as Democratic stronghold, and
Representative Sanborn, Republi-
can, the Second District. The
probabilities are that when the
votes are counted in November
these districts will still be repre-
sented by a Democrat and a Re-
publican.
Woman Seeking Seat.
In the First District, the Demo-
Gratis have nominated Mrs. Oracle
Pfost. She has been active in
politics for years, is attractive and
a good campaigner. She is the
one top Democratic candidate this
year who belongs to the left wing
group Of the party. Organized
labor Is working its shirt off for
her. and she is given a good
chance Of victory over her Re-
publican opponent, DR.. John T.
Wood. DR.. Wood, a hale 72. is
taking his first fling at politics
He is violently anti-New Deal and
. anti-Fair Deal.
IN the Second District, the
COP has nominated 3e-year-
old Hamer Bulge. He is a veteran
of the last war and has served
three terms in the legislature,
and as Republican majority
leader.
The Democrats have nominated
James H. Hawley, jr., also a war
veteran. He served as administra-
tive assistant to the late Senator
Bert H. Miller, and is a grandson
of Gov. James H. Hawley. Re-
publican strength is more con-
centrated in the Second District
and Mr.. Bulge is given a distinct
advantage.

so BILLIONS For DEFENSE


II pending appropriations bills are
passed, the United States Congress viii
have provided $4,000, 0o0, 900 directly
for the defense Of the United States and
$5.125. 600. 900 for our European allies
In addition, the President Is expected TO
ask for an additional $4,000, 600. 900 foT
military purposes within the next few
months.
The cost of defense comes high to
democratic peoples, but there Is no way
in which expenditures can be avoided
Naturally. there will probably be some
foolish items included in the preparation
20 protect the liberties of the people but
this Is one of the prices that we have to
pay for a democratic government.
President Truman, it is noted, still
believes that war between the United
States and Russia is not unavoidable
Consequently, he dislikes very much any
thing like official conclusions that a pre-
ventive war is advisable Mr. Truman
seems to be convinced that the free ma
tons can protect the peace If they viii
arm themselves adequately to meet any
menace There is the chance that the
President may be correct.
There is no way of knowing whether
war can be avoided, Or not. Nevertheless.
it IS well for the free peoples of the earth
to make every effort to prevent the out4
break of World War III. To this end it is
vitality important that the United States
constantly affirm It's viii for peace and
explain to the world that its present pre-:
parations are designed for self-prosect-
ion and not for aggression.
In the face of the stupendous rearma-
ment program one can readily under
stand the effect of Soviet propaganda if
il IS not eountered by effective American
publicity. II the Russians are permitted
to dominate the publicity that reaches
the subject peoples of the world, they may
be able to convince ignorant people that
the democraeies are preparing for of.
fensive action.
