the figure 143. Nor am l saying that
the Air Force should get everything
it wants. Any appropriation cuts in
attempts to balance our budget must
certainly be made where the big
money is.
But the Air Force is our first line
of defense in an air-atomic age. The
SIS billion cut was made without the
concurrence of one single military
leader in our nation-and after De-
tense Department survey indicated
that a Russian A-bomb attack could
destroy at least one-third of our in
dustrial capacity and kill 13 million
people. ,,t
Less than a year after this Air
Force cut, we are abruptly told that
our Air Force is vital-that the bud

By LEE METCALF

Our Air Force is providing one OF
the first tests of the interesting
theory of finance that you can buy
more for less.
This theory transferred into our
Department of Defense from the
bigger on the inside, smaller on the
outside" school of motor vehicle adj
vertising-resulted this past year in
q SIS billion cut in the Air Force
budget.
The one-third cut was the re-
suit of an Administration plan to
fix an interim goal' of 120 wings
for the Air Force instead of the
143-wing program planned under
President Truman's budget.
Now there is nothing sacred about

were let out as result OF this APP
preparation cut.
So even if-and that's big if
this cut didn't harm Air Force morale,
we have a big and expensive recruit
ing Job ahead of us now to build up
the air arm we cut back less than
wear ago. Our aircraft industry
faces the same kind of recruiting
job.
I hope the recent decision of this
Administration to again build up our
Air Force means abandonment of the
calculated risk policy based on the
theory that we will have time to
prepare for another war. You fight
war with the weapons you have. You
don't build an Air Force after the
bombs start dropping.
As the president of one of our ma
jor aircraft companies put it:
"Air power is not a sometime
thing 1t must be worked at and
sweated at and paid for as we go
along. You canton the spur of the
moment-put a few nickles into a
vending machine and have real air
power come out. Building-and main
taining-air power requires sane
and sober program-a steady pro-
a program of panic"
Since last year, air power has
been Sometime thing in this
country. AS a result, We'll have to put
a lot more nickles into the vending
machine. And now it looks as if it
will be at least two years before we
have the minimum Air Force which
our military leaders consider neces-
sary for our security.

Should We Increase Our
National Debt?
BY A. z. ANDERSON, Butte


On our Congressional agenda are two
| items of considera BILE interest to the
| American people: Should we lower
| the voting age of our youth from Fl to
| Is years of age? Should we raise our
national debt limit from 1855 billions
to $500 millions?
The first item is more academic than
of any material Importance, but not
so with the second stupendous finan-
cial burden. To the American taxpayer
the yearly interest of our present debt
at two per cent amounts to the big
sum of S5,300,00O 900 This sum of
money must be paid yearly to the bond
holders whether we are hardpressed
for cash or not, with no time set for
the final payment of the bonds. To
the bondholders it's like money in the
bank with interest to go on in per-
petuity. Most of this debt has been put
on our shoulders in paying for wars
or the preparation of future wars.
Much has been spent in foreign lands,
but none of it for internal improve
ments.
We are in a better position, geo
graphically, financially and from an in
dustrial standpoint, than either Can
ada, Australia or Russia. If these diff
ferent countries can balance their bud
gets. why can't we? We don't have to
saddle their burdens. They got along
before our time and can do so again.
ARE WE OVER-REACHTNG
OUR CAPACITY!
Mankind's most colossal structure,
the Great Wall of China, required
total number of soldiers of 100000
to guard it while building and after
it was finished. Today it's but mu-
scum piece and a tourist attraction
Can we expect to do much better with
our "Chinese Wall" from Thule, Green
land to Okinawa in the Far East? All
these China Walls, from the Magin-
OF Line the Siegfried Line, to the
strongest of them all, the Mannerheim
Line in Finland, had their Achilles
heels, which possibly, ours has too.
Look at the money we have wasted on
the Voice of America, Freedoms March
and saving China from the Chinese,
money that could be better spent at
home. John Bull is now willing to re-
linquish top roost to Uncle Sam, if he |
(Uncle Sam) pays the fiddler. The |
debt should be lowered, not
raised.
