Tax Cuts and the National Debt

to pay OF the national debt,
The country doesn't need tax
reduction now. though it is al
ways In need of tax revision to
correct inequities. But even
this corrective process has to
be delayed If the budget is
thereby unbalanced.
Every American is taught
that it Is thrifty to save money
to pay of debts. But. somehow
or other. few people seem con-
cerned when the National Gov
ernment doesn't do q thing to
pay of the money it has bor-
rowed. After the close Of World
War II the Democrats were in
power seven years continu-
ously, and yet they never at
tempted even to plan for debt
retirement. After the close Of
World War I the Republican
Party was in power and dur
ing its first nine years cut the
national debt almost 40 per
cent.
Someday, If the American
people ever think through the
dangers Of keeping a $3.50 bill
lion debt without any proyi-
sion for retirement, they will
begin to wonder about the
value OF their paper money
whether 1t is worth what 1t
claims to be on Its face. For.
If the national debt remains
where 1t is or goes higher and
there is no intention to retire
1t. the public will not have the
same confidence in the value
Of the dollar that it has had
before.
It may not seem to the poll
ticians to be sound politics to
apply the lessons Of sound
economics, but the risks to
persons of fixed incomes and
to millions Of others when an
inflationary spiral ensues are
so great that in the long run
more votes may be modified
by doing the sound rather
than the unsound thing. Only
political demagoguery keeps
the people from knowing the
truth about the way their
national finances should be
handled.

Truman, Urging No Tax SIoshing, Shares
Views of Conservatives Byrd and Reed

Democratic leaders are no
longer going to insist that the
country is suffering a terrible
unemployment crisis or is in a
recession" then the obvious
tack for them to take is that
taxes should not be reduced.
This has been the position OF
the Democrats right along
when they were in power.
In the next session of Con-
gress, therefore. the Demo-
Gratis logically should be
against any tax reduction
whatsoever and should be OPP
posing any Republican efforts
supposedly to unbalance the
budget by tax revision. 1t will
be interesting to see how many
Democrats favor tax reduction
at the next session. A split In
the party is certain.
Senator Byrd will have no
dificulty being consistent on
this matter, because he was
the first to speak out when
Secretary Humphrey mem
toned the possibility OF tax
reduction. The Virginia Sem
ator said:
II agree with Secretary
Humphrey that the budget can
be balanced in this fiscal year.
I am not so certain. however.
that both a tax reduction and
a balanced budget can be ac-
complished. 1t would be fool
hardy to balance the budget
and then unbalance it by q
premature reduction in taxes.

The spectacle today in the
Republican Party is under
standable. just as was the
Democratic Party's clinging to
its indispensable man." For
the thing in politics. the not
too common commodity. is a
winner. At the same time the
spectacle is not q very pleas
ing commentary on the Re-
publican Party, any more than
the subservient attitude that
developed among Democrats
toward Franklin D. Roosevelt.
1t is not conducive to the good
health of the two-party system,
for 1t tends to submerge issues
in personalities.
Beyond that. one Of the
tests of a healthy political
party is its ability TO bring up
in its own ranks men who can
be effective candidates. even
if not always successful candi-
dates. Here the Republican
Party has had its troubles in
recent years so far as candi-
dates for the presidency are
concerned. Neither of its last
two Presidents was a product
Of the party. but came from
outside. Herbert Hoover's
career had been in engineering
and business; Gen. Eisenhower
was a professional soldier.
Neither ever held elective Of
fee. though Herbert Hoover
served with distinction as a
cabinet officer in Republican
administrations after serving
as World War I food ad-
ministrator in q Democratic
administration. Neither was
identified with a political party
until well along in life after
entirely different careers.

have staged the current up
risings without substantial aid
from outside. That aid came
from the Kremlin conspirators.
Similarly, Russian military
equipment and supplies are
being sent to Egypt and the
other Arab countries embroiled
with Israel. The Israeli, at
the moment, seem to be suf-
/, ficiently strong militarily to
ward off any really serious Arab
attacks. But the Red aid to
the Arabs will in time offset
the Israeli superiority. and
with the needed supplies and
equipment the vastly superior
Arab populations will be able
to overwhelm Israel.
The Soviet aid to the Arabs

The situation between
Greece and Turkey over the
Cyprus problem is even more
serious than that existing In
North Africa or Palestine. For
Greece and Turkey are allied
in NATO. and together they
form the eastern bastion Of

free world. And although the
Athens government completely
denies any Communist influ-
ence in the Cyprus question,

motives behind the false front
of nationalism.
Cyprus Is an all-important
bastion in the defense of the
Mediterranean. The British
have an invaluable military
and naval base on the island,
the loss of which would seri-
ously embarrass the West in
any effort it may have to make
to defend Eastern Europe from
Soviet attack.
Since the big island is close
to the vulnerable Turkish
coast, the Turks are naturally
concerned lest the defensive
possibilities of the island be
lost. They do not look with
confidence on the prospect OF
Greek rule, and take the posi-
ton, reluctantly. that if the
British are to relinquish con-
troll of the island. then it
should revert to Turkey. The
Turkish Empire ruled Cyprus
for centuries; it has never in
modern times been under
Greek political control.
The Greeks and the Turks,
since World War II, have
seemed to go far in forgetting
their blood enmity of centuries
standing. The common menace
of Soviet imperialism and COM
munist subversion drove them
together in alliance with the
West against "a mutual foe.
But the Cyprus uproar has

perhaps irreparably. Efforts
at the special London con-
ference to work out some

failed completely. and the
cleavage is now deeper than

hopeless.

Most sideline observers,

they are right in this.
The almost unholy reliance
upon the President is most
complimentary and cannot
help but give him a lift, es-
pecially since he is a newcomer
In politics. But the flattery
does not seem to oyerwhelm
him. When the pleas that he
run again began to rise all over

It isn't often that former
President Harry Truman. once
leader of the Democratic
Party and perhaps its real
leader today, Is on the same
side Of the argument as con-
servatives like Representative
Daniel Reed of New York,
ranking Republican member of
the House Ways and Means
Committee, and Senator Byrd
of Virginia, Democrat. chair
man of the Senate Finance
Committee.
For Mr.. Truman's latest
declaration that there should
be no tax reduction. even if
the budget is balanced next
year, is exactly what Mr..
Reed said several days before
on his return from Europe.
Actually, the Secretary Of the
Treasury, George Humphrey,
hasn't said positively that
the Republican administration
would recommend tax reduc-
tion but. when he told of the
prospective balance in the
budget. he mentioned that tax
reduction would be possible"
That's a far different thing
from saying the administra-
tion is yet ready to recon-
mend 1t.
Mr.. Truman also said the
time to retire the national
debt is when the country is
prosperous. This is an i'm
plicit admission, of course. that
under the Republican regime
prosperity has actually been
achieved, which is somehow
in contradiction of the many
prophesies of gloom made by
the Democrats in Congress all
through 1854. In fact, they
ignored the. Truman philoso-
ply in March, 1855. when they
tried to put through Congress
plan to cut everyhody's taxes
by $40 because they said it

in truth, when party look
outs cast their gaze about

have come up in the party
they seem to see little that
excites them greatly as men
who would excite the voters.
This also may help to ex-
plain another a psychological
phenomenon that has become
a predominant factor in today's
politics.
This is the way in which the
Republican Party management
and its propagandists have at
tempted-and succeeded to a
large degree--in throwing a
mantle of inviolability about
the President, creating a sacro-
sanct sort Of figure. whom it
is virtually a crime to criticize.

Many Democrats have been
frightened away from even
sober and sane criticism by the
clever Republican "untouch-
able" tactic. Fortunately, how
ever. for the constant review
and check needed on every

who are speaking up and
stressing the Presidents re-
sponsibility for his admins
tration, and refusing to accept
subordinates as scapegoats.
These include the three pro-
