The White House and the
State Department are worried
over the prospective fight they
will have to face in Congress
when the new foreign aid
projects are submitted to that
body in this coming election
year.
The spending policy" was
started under the Democratic
administration. The Republic
cans have gone on record as
the party which will try to
curtail the lavish giveaways.
The roles are likely to change
now, although the expenditure
of some $50 billion on foreign
aid since the end of the war
has more than accomplished
its purpose.
Europe, in particular, Is
sharing with us an unprece-
dented period of material pros
perity. A greater output Of
goods and products is likely to
cause an economic crisis be-
cause Of the lack Of markets.
The Asiatic countries still have
millions OF poverty stricken
peoples.
But an intensified. economic
assistance program as con-
ceived by our planners, to help
the industrialization Of large
areas, could easily boomerang.
According to some economic
thinkers the best solution for
the improvement of conditions
in backward countries would
be an exchange of the raw
material they possess in vast
quantities for manufactured
products from industrial coun-
tries.
Under the impact Of the
phony promises for economic,
political and financial assist
ance by the USSR and Com
munist China, some Of our
policy planners have become
panicky. Despite the earlier
promises to Congress that for
eign aid expenditures would
be drastically curtailed in the
next years budget, they re-
versed themselves and want
larger appropriations than are
provided for in the current ex-
penditures.
The Democrats in Congress
who in the past advocated vast
outlays Of the taxpayers mon
eys as a cure-all for our inter-
national troubles will certain
ly oppose the administrations
new requests. Many Of them
believe indeed that the time
has come to call a halt to the
giveaways. They say that
judging by the results in Eu-
rope and in some sections Of
Asia, the Democratic program
which started in 1916 with the
Truman plan for Turkey and

Borrow Money to Pay for Tax Cut?

doubtful whether, with the
widespread understanding of
the dangers of an unbalanced
budget and the consequences
Of imitation, the voters will be
inclined to penalize the party
in power for exhibiting cour-
age and common sense in re-
jecting irresponsible legisla-
ton.
The Eisenhower adminiStra-
ton is not expected to reveal
its hand on taxes in the state
of-the-Union message next
month, preferring to wait till
April Is, when tax receipts
from the exceedingly pros
porous year 1855 will in large
part have been collected.
The most important reason
for not cutting taxes which
the administration can give,
if the tax receipts are not ade-
quate, is that arms spending
and foreign aid must be
stepped up to insure a con-
tinuance of peace. 1t now is
rather generally understood by
the American people that the
threat by Communist imperial
ism has not been leSsened de-
spite the heroic effort at con-
citation made last summer at
Geneva by President Essen
hover.
There is less danger polit-
ically in opposing tax reduce
ton than there would be nor
mally. Since, therefore, there
are sound financial, economic,
international and military rea-
sons for Withholding a tax re-
duction in the face of an un-
balanced budget. the chances
of enacting any tax legislation
affecting taxpayers generally
are rather remote.
What is more important to
the voter is the prospect Of
increased income in 1856 due
to increased compensation ell
Their through the usual i'm
provements of the wage scale
or through overtime work. The
total take-home pay in 1856
is expected to increase materi-
ally despite any omission Of
tax reduction.

Health Insurance Prospects

beyond a certain age. We find
that a lot OF old people can
get along all right with pen
sions, and so forth, but when
they get sick, the money runs
out and they are not covered
by insurance. 1t means they
have to go on relief or assist
ance.
Then the other field is the
question of the rural commu-
mites where they don't have
the opportunity that people do
in the cities for these group
plans.
I'VE are working in all these

for reinsurance or pooling of

to expand their coverage."

CONSTANTINE BROWN
White House Worried Over Fight
Facing New Spending Projects

Greece and developed later in
to a gigantic expenditure for
all Europe under the name Of
the Marshall Plan. has now
fulfilled its task.
Other Democratic legislators
who would not mind spending
more money abroad are likely
to oppose the administrations
policies because it will be good
politics in an election year.
There is no doubt that the
rank and file of the voters
will be pleased and ready to
support any candidate who
wants to save them some tax
money. American assistance
has enabled the British gov
eminent, before a national
election. to tighten somewhat
the burden Of the British tax
payer.
1t is high time that the
American taxpayer. the most
heavily taxed individual in the
world. should get some relief.
The Republican solons, who
during 20 years of opposition
have always protested against
the layishness Of the Demo-
Gratis, are in a difficult situa-
ton. The majority would like
to cut foreign expenditures to
the bone. But since many
prospective candidates for re-
election hope to be returned
on what is called "Eisenhow-
er's coattails," they will be
placed in a predicament if
the administration actually
goes to bat for an increased
foreign appropriation.
On the one hand. they are

"The many persons and or

thing, Senator Fulbright wrote.
"If the administration wishes
to exercise any leadership in this
matter, or even if it wishes its
proposals to be considered. the
opportunity for doing so may
soon be gone"
