United States Thomas L. Stokes.
Chamber Of Commerce advances
a proposal with a familiar ring to
cut deeply into "non-military" ex-
penditures, in this instance to the
amount of "at least six billion
dollars" The administration pro-
poses to raise four billion dollars
by an excess profits tax.
Program Of Its Own.
As q tax program Of its own 1t
suggests:
/. An overall corporation tax
rate Of 30 per cent, not much
beyond the present maximum rate
of Is per cent-the tax ranges
from rs per cent on smaller cor
porations to As on the biggest. In
this way 1t would raise two billion
dollars.
2. To raise another five billions
it would impose additional excise
or sales taxes, consumer taxes,
which fall heaviest on persons of
low income.
3. No increase in personal in
come taxes, except possibly lower
ing Of the present $500 exemption.
That. too, would penalize low in
come groups.

After years Of dieting, I finally

that the only place for me to

attitude the chances are we might
be engaged, even now, in a difficult
war in that peninsula. But Sen.
ators and Representatives who fol.
low the motto 'Once bitten, twice
shy" want to know whether ir
the future Tito will not play bott
ends against the middle and, ir
the event of war in Europe, Offer
his assistance to the highest
bidder.
Tito's record in our books is not
particularly good. He became
Yugoslavia's top man with helr
from us and the British when we
forsook the Serbian leader, Gen
Draja Mikhailovich, and the gov.
ernment in exile for his sake.
After having established him
self as the principal figure in that
Balkan country he became one OF
the most servile and useful tools
of Moscow. Until he was forced
to break with his fellow Commu-
nists, who were following the
Kremlin line strictly, he was bit
terly anti-American. Yugoslavia
was a satellite country and
the same religious prosecutions
were applied there as in the rest
of Moscow's satellites.
It was only when his own posi-
ton seemed threatened within the
country. because he followed the
Politburo's orders too strictly
that he broke with his masters
and became Communism's lone
wolf. His change was warmly well
coined by the free world and il
Is sincerely hoped that he will
remain an independent national
list Communist.
Nevertheless, after the many
sad experiences which this coun-
try has had since 1949. when we
distributed literally our help tc

ice to the cause for which we were

the legislators should ask more

backing for the Republican va
cancy on the Foreign Relations
Committee. Senator Vandenberg' &
firm support Of Senator Morse
Of Oregon who had bids on the
next Foreign Relations vacancy,
seems to have closed that incident
but Senator Knowland's standing
with the Taft leadership Is none
theless clearly revealed.
The current spate of specula-
ton is not necessarily justified by
the fact that the President In
insisting Mr.. Acheson would stay
used language identical with his
assurance about Mr.. johnson just
before the johnson finale. Prob
ably it has been helped along by
the Secretary's generally con-
demned re-examinationist joke.
Friends Worried.
It was not up to his standard
which Is one thing that quite
apart from its dubious political
wisdom worries his friends. The
Acheson humor is obviously not
everybody's cup Of tea but at least
his own circle up to now has
thought it superior. They admit
that Homer nodded last week.
Faced with the kind Of slugging
that lies in prospect on Capitol
Hill, an Acheson not in form is
alarming to them. Nor will cur
rent events help him much-the
recent German votes against re-
armament. the intransigence OF
France, Red China's feints and
thrusts in Korea.
Pressure is being put on the
White House to set up exploratory
conversations with Republican
leaders before the Senate debate
gathers q momentum it will be
hard to stop. II Senator Vanden-
berg could return next week, 1t

what assurances we have that Tito
will not change his policies once
more, after he is freed from the
tight situation in which he finds
himself today.
1t Is probable that Congress will
appropriate the required sum. But
officials of the State Department
will have to clarity the situation
for members of Congress who fear
that we may be backing the wrong
horse once more.
Yugoslavia is an agricultural
country. In the past she bartered
or sold her vast crops of grain
and livestock for industrial prod
ucts. Many Congressman want to
know what happened to change
this situation so radically. The
country has suffered from droughts
in the past, yet famine was un-
known among the Yugoslav peo-
pie.
The answer seems to be that
the farmerS-there are no large
estates in that countrywide nev-
er liked the Communist regime
have cultivated only enough acre
age in the last three years to feed
themselves and their families and
have had no surpluses.
Landowners DISCOURAGED.
This was due, according to
available reports, to state control
over the sale of farm products and
livestock. Price controls, and par
ticularly the red tape which is
characteristic of every state
managed economy" discouraged
the small landowners from pro-
ducing more than the strict es-
sentialS they needed.
When the drought hit Yugo-
slavia the reserves which existed
in the past were no longer avail
able. Starvation faced the Yugo-
slav people and their rulers were
threatened with revolution. In
spite of strict police supervision
there are still many Cominform
agents in that country and they
are ready to take advantage of
the slightest upheaval to promote
the interests of Moscow.

spirators 1t was necessary to sup

Campaign Is Familiar
Defense Financing Program Offered
By Chamber Would Hit Little Fellow

States Chambers proposal would
whack them almost exactly in
half. It must be remembered that
only 29.1 per cent Of the total
budget is for non-military expend-
itures with II per cent going for
the cost Of past wars and prepara-
ton for possible future wars,
namely, to national defense: vet
Grams programs; foreign economic
and military aid, and interest on
the public debt largely represented
by war costs.
Campaigns Familiar Here.
Campaigns to cut "non-mili-
tary" expenditures or. by a name
frequently used, "non-essential
expenditures, are familiar here.
They often are a cover to slash
at things Government has come
to do for its people-social welfare,
health, education. security. public
power and reclamation. For any
reporter who covers Congress
knows that when representatives
Of various interests fighting those
things get behind the closed doors
Of the appropriations committees
that Is exactly what they try to
do-and sometimes succeed.
If you completely stopped all
those things, you'd save only four
billion dollars, for they take only
that much Of the 43 billion dollar
budget. If you added housing,
1.3 billion. you still would be short
Of the six billions. These things
are what President Truman has
called investments in the future
Of the country"
But. beyond that. Government
does a good deal for business in
numerous ways, for aviation by
providing facilities, for shipping
through subsidies to maintain a
merchant marine, for railroads,
and for business and industry gen.
orally in loans through various
agencies, including the RFC, in
the many services Of the Com
merce Department. In protection
to finance through the Federal
Reserve system and the Securities
and Exchange Commission, ano
so on. as well as what it does fol-
labor and agriculture and our citi-
zens generally. All Of them make
