Defense Comes Hioh

The $50 billion military budget reported by
the House Appropriations Committee is a strik-
ing commentary on the cost of just staying alive
In this threatened world
Only two years ago. during the Like old Joe
era, Congress approved the largest peacetime
military appropriation in our lstory-some SIS
billion. That was thought to be just about all
that the country could stand. And the President,
to the applause of economy minded Congress-
men, announced that he was impounding some
$6l5 million which had been authorized to buy
more planes for the Air Force.
That 1949 record breaker now has been
quadrupled, and the end is not in sight. For this
newest budget does not include anything for
the war in Korea and also omitS $4.5 billion
which the President had requested for public
works. Before fiscal 1852 is DONE our overall
defense almost certainly will cost more, not less,
than $56 billion.
There are some scattered crumbs of comfort.
Last March, Chairman Mahon of the subcom-
nittee which handled the defense budget pre-
dicted the total would run close to $40 billion
He may yet be proved good prophet, but as of
this time he was wrong. The House committee
trimmed about SIS billion from the requested
total-not much when measured against the
whole appropriation but still a saving equivalent
to the full outlay for military purposes just a
few years ago. There was, furthermore, a sharp
demand for economies in the military establish
ment. These can and should be made, but under
the best of conditions the defense burden is
going to be heavy one for years to come.
There is no use kidding ourselves on this
score. Defense comes high, but not as high as
defeat. And if we do not do the things that must
be done to build up our strength, we may expect
to learn one of these days what defeat really
means. We have taken too many chances already
in the name of false economy We cannot afford
to take any more and the American people, pain
full though the prospect is will pay what is really
necessary to achieve an adequate measure of
military strength.

Virginia Politics

S should like to set the record straight
on an issue discussed in your excellent
Sunday feature about nearby Virginia
political candidates.
In regard to positions taken on the
new county executive form in Fairfax
! County, you pointed out that County
Supervisor Wallace Carper had opposed
both the county manager and the county
executive forms during the reform cam
paign last year. You might have added
that he has said nothing publicly in this

Corruption

What is happening to our country
when crooks and mobsters. like Joe
Adonis, Frank Costello, ct al, and
known Communists can defy Congress
and get away with it? The courts lean
over backwards for them. Why be
lenient with them? These crooks and
gamblers are hiding behind the Fifth
Amendment, which was not intended
for that purpose. The courts should
realize that and deal with them ac-
cordingly.
History shows that whenever you have
one party in power too long. you have
corruption. Even in cities and States,
where one party is in power over long
period. there is corruption. The terms
of the President are limited. This also
should apply to members Of Congress.
Governors and Mayors. I hope the good
people Of this country will wake up in
time to elect a decent Government.

Chuin Reaction

AS a small bookstore owner may I
say my heart bleeds for the chain stores
which protested to the once of Price
Sterilization that their losses have been
great.
How sad. We so-called small-store
owners wish the chains would close at
6 pm. instead of 9 pm, to give us a
chance to make a living.
The chain stores are taking the food
out Of our mouths. There should be
a law allowing just so many in a city.
It seems to me the bigger they are,
they are the first to cry.

BY THE HASKIN SERVICE.
@. What is the cost per day to keep
the Congress In action?-H. r. r.
A. Expenditures for the legislative
establishment in fiscal 1850 were SIS
million, which was equivalent to almost
$153,424 day. For the fiscal year 1851
the expenditure is higher, namely, $61
million.
@. Why are crop failures so frequent
in India?-G. T. T.
A. Failures of crops are more likely
to occur in India than in any other
country chiefly because it has to depend
on the monsoon rains for water. With
few exceptions the country receives it's
annual rainfall in three summer months
and when the monsoon fails, starvation
Is likely to follow.
Q. What causes green tomatoes to
crack open before they are ripe?-
D. r. B.
A. According to the Department of
Agriculture, cracking appears to be
common during periods of abundant
rain and high temperatures, which
favor an extremely rapid growth. Moth
ing can be done about it. Some varieties
are Enthusiastically subject to injury
Of this sort.
Q. When a business letter includes
the phrase your letter of the 18th
instant" what does instant" mean?-
j. K. T.
A. 1t means the present or current
month. This particular phrase Is not
much used today.
@. For how many years has the closed
car been popular?-B. D.
A. The closed car began to be used in
1920 and has been popular ever since.

hours a week is enough work in any
month";. However, good business prac-
tice would not make Saturday the day
to close shop in the field Of retail trade.
According to The Star survey. Tuesday
is the lightest shopping day of the week.
Closing on Tuesdays, however, would not
give the employees the advantages, they
receive by having two consecutive days
free. The survey showed that about one
third as many people shop on Mondays
as on Saturday. Closing on Mondays in
stead Of Saturdays would accomplish
this: Washingtonians would have the
shopping day Of their choice-Saturday.
Employees Of department stores would
retain a two-day consecutive holiday.

Natural Laws Are Forced Aside
Economy Of Nations Over World Stroned by Struggle
Between Totuitoriunism and Forces of Freedom

Bureau Of Labor Statistics show
the cost of living index at q
new high and Federal spokes-
men warn that the trend will
continue in coming months.
Wages, either through contrac-
tual escalator clauses keyed to
the cost of living index, or
through new rounds of bar
gaining, already are pushing
toward new high levels.
To some theorists the pres
sure for higher wages is con-
sidered a contribution to in
flation. To others, it is a result
of imitation, an orderly readjust-
ment which contributes to
stability and to uninterrupted
and perhaps increased produc-
ton.
Whichever may be right, it is
a development which focuses
attention anew on the inflation-
ary strain which the global
struggle is placing upon the ma
tional economy. There is no
simple answer on how to counter
this strain; the problem calls
for the best kind of economic
craftsmanship and as little poll
ticking as possible. To disregard
it. or to make it a political
football, would be very comfort
ing to the champions of COM
muniSm.

John c. Henry:

The struggle now going on in
the world between the forces of
freedom on one hand and those
of a particularly sinister form Of
totalitarianism on the other has
many manifestations.
Some of them are dramatic
and clearly defined-open war;
fare in Korea, in Southeast Asia
and tomorrow perhaps in some
other quarter of the globe. Only
slightly less sharply defined are
the political conflicts reflected
in the continuing turmoil within
the United Nations and its
subordinate agencies, in the
steady propaganda barrages
across national frontiers, in
subversion and agitation within
the framework of domestic polit-
ical structures.
OF a less tangible nature per-
haps, but pervasive in both
breadth and depth in capi-
talist society. is the effect which
a great international struggle
for power has on a national
economy. In totalitarian Russia
the natural economic laws are
set aside. Forced labor is a COM
modify that does not carry a
price in dollars or in rubles; its
price instead is in lack of liberty
and in non-recognition of hu-
man dignity. Progress in the
civilized arts and fabrication of
the things which make life
healthier and more comfortable
can be ignored. All effort can
be and is subordinated to the
will of a state that is not an
swerable to its people.
In the free society Of capital
ism these "conveniences" do not
exist. We build our strength it
self on the foundations of the
very freedom and progress
which are missing in totali-
tarianism. We have no doubt
that it is a strength which will
prove greater and more lasting
because of these foundations,
even though the employment of
this formula. in times of crisis
or of danger. imposes abnormal
strains and stresses upon con-
ventional capitalist economy.

So far the Eisenhower CAM

Right now it has produced more

mentum and bite.
Meanwhile Senator Taft is
