spending on national security
on everything from military
services to civil defense - is a
much, much smaller force in our
economy today than most Amer
leans believe.
The total is running at $408
billion year. way under the
levels of 1925, and is only 10
per cent of the $40o billion an
nually being spent in our land by
all sources = consumers, BUSH
nessmen, States. etc.
In the second place. any cut
in this type of spending i'm
mediately would provide room
for at least an equal cut in
taxes.
And the stimulating impact
Of a tax reduction should be
much greater than the depress-
ing impact of a defense SPEND
ing reduction.
In the third place. any job
leSsneSs created by cutbacks in
defense production should be
exceedingly temporary.
Industry's demand for the
skills of those now working in
defense plants is immense and
these workers should quickly
find jobs elsewhere.
And in the fourth place. sure
ly some of the funds not chan
neled into defense could be
channeled into industrial de-
velopment of have not" lands
all over the world.
This not only would help abb
serb our production today: It
also would help create great
markets for our goods for dec
AIDES to come.
Look At the Facts
Admittedly. it's as ridiculous
to underestimate as il is to over
estimate the Importance of S40.3
billion Of defense spending a
year. But TO get a perspective.
let's look at SOME facts on the
first point.
You and l, as consumers.
spend more than four times as
much every year Just on buying
such day-to-dav goods as food,
clothing, autos. etc. Our annual
spending on durable and non
durable goods is running at
$l638 billion.
We spend more than twice as
much year-$95 billion-iust
on purchasing serviceS-medical
care. personal care, recreation,
utilities, etc.
Businessmen plan to sEend
almost as much In 1855 alone
on expanding their plants. II
businessmen can get the mate
rails and money to do it. their
spending OIL expansion this year
will approach 500 billion.
And States and cities are
spending $31.7 billion on local
projects. What's more. this type
of spending is in a strong up
trend.
To add to the perspective, let's
look at some facts on the second
point.
Actually, defense spending was
sharply slashed between 1853
and l954-and this. coinciding
with the Federal Reserve Boards
clampdown on credit, and appre-
hension over letdown. did help
lead to the 1884 recession. But
that recession was so mild it was
over almost before most people
realized 1t was on. And one rea-
son 1t was SO mild and short was
That taxes were cut simultane-
ously. Business and consumer
spending took up the slack
To fear defense spending cut
on the basis that it might under
mine our military and political
strength is one thing. That's a
sane fear.
But TO fear it on the basis
that it would undermine our
economic strength. push us into
slump, is another thing.
That's an insane fear.

In Washington, President
