In the meantime, a committee

the national debt at a minimum
When we entered World War
| in 1917, the Federal debt was
slightly over l billion dollars
No, that's not a Typographical
error slightly over / billion
Even at the end of the war,
the debt had risen to 251a billion
dollars and by 1880, the Congress
had succeeded in reducing this
to Is billion dollars.
Now in 1854, when we are fac
ed with the necessity of spending
billions for preparedness and for
attempting to contain Com
munism throughout the world,
we are handicapped by a stag
gering Federal debt of $275 bill
lion. No American worthy of the
name will begrudge one single
dollar economically spent to
keep our defenses in order.
Such defenses constitute our
insurance for victory over Rus
sia should that country be fool
ish enough to abandon a cold"
war for a 'hot" one. In fact,
such defenses may deter Russia
from plunging the world into a
third world war.
But, the point is that Federal
Government must tighten its
belt as far as domestic expendi-
lures are concerned. These must
be cut to the bone. Here again
the Eisenhower administration
has made an auspicious begin
ming and has been backed after
fashion by the 83rd Congress.
However, it is only a beginning,
The Hoover Commission APP
pointed by the President, among
other things, is busy studying
when bureaus can be dispensed
with and what bureaus can be
consolidated to effect economy
in government. Once again, our
elder statesman, ex-President
Herbert Hoover, is rendering a
great service to his fellow
Americans - God bless him.
All in all America seems to
be getting back onto the right
track. Most of our citizens are
beginning to realize that waste
ful expenditure of their tax
money is Public Enemy Number
One, At the polls in November,
they can be expected to register
their approval of those legisla-
tors who have not only preach
ed economy in government but
have actually practiced it.
At the start of this column !
quoted Grover Cleveland. Please
let me end it with another state
ment of this great Democratic
President, this time taken from
his Inaugural Address of Nov
ember 4, 1898: THE lessons of

that while the people should
