Part of the trouble over the
Federal budget is caused by the
fact that the budget has been
snagged on the merry-go-round
of imitation. The merry-go-
round keeps swinging the budget
higher of the ground and the
higher the budget swings. the
faster the merry-go-round goes
round.
That may not be very good

It may not be very good gov

Budget Cut Demand Seen
As Reaction to Initiation

lion. During the other war years
it was lower than the proposed
budget for the coming fiscal
year.
Imitation Continuous Il
During this time. imitation has
been continuous. While the
budget total has made deep dips
during its general upward
course. the deviations in the
course Of imitation have been
slight.
AS measured by the purchas-
ing power Of the dollar. imitation
faltered bit in 1888 to 1910,
in l949 and 1852. In all other
years the dollar sagged.
No one administration is solely
to blame. Perhaps the Roose-
welt Administration was mostly
at fault, because it took the doll
lar of the gold standard, max
ing 1t easier to manipulate the
value Of the currency. But the
budget rose during the Roose-
welt. Truman and Eisenhower
Administrations and the buying
power Of the dollar fell during
each Of them.
The budget alone, Of course,
does not control the buying pow
er of the dollar, nor does infia-
ton control the size Of the
budget. However. each has deep
effects on the other.
The Eisenhower Administra
Ition was expected to take ac-
ton ending imitation. It has
taken some long steps in that
direction in encouraging the Fed
eral Reserve to allow interest
rates to rise and in discontinue
ing deficit spending, which was
directly infiationary.
Dollar Still Shrinks
However. despite these steps
the purchasing power Of the dol
lar has continued to slide. 1t Is
now worth about AZ per cent
less than it was when Mr.. Eisen-
hover took Office. The consumer
dollar has shrunk in buying
power every month since the
Federal Reserve tinkered with
the interest rate.
This inf1ation-or reduced pur.
chasing power of the dollar-is
one Of the big. though not the
only. reason why the pending
budget is so large. The 2,000,-
l000-plus government employees
have had or will get raises and
practically everything the gov.
ernment buys costs more. Wea-
Ipons cost more because they are
more complicated, as Mr.. Eisen-
hover explained; they also cost
more because q pound Of steel
and almost everything else GO
ing into them has gone up in
price.
I Every Federal budget has
/. brought protests because of its
size. but rarely has one pro-
voked such a widespread, grass
roots protest as the current
, one-a fact that is amazing be-
cause the menace of the Krem-
. lin is understood by the pro.
testers.
1t may be that some Of the
+; protests are basically directed
: against imitation. It's difficult to
: focus public protest on imitation
: because 1t is so intangible.
! There's never a bill to increase
imitation: nobody ever ships COR
ners OF the currency with scis-
) sors. The average person never
encounters imitation until he goes
!. to market and then he can't
blame the merchant because he
/, knows he is also a victim. But
: the budget is considerably less
/. tangible: There are bound copies
of 1t. reports of votes in news
!. papers and other evidences that
: can be seen. That's why it may
: be drawing the wrath Of pro-
tests against imitation.

Mitchell Warns
|Ldbor-Industry
On Initiation
BY L. EDGAR PRINA

Secretary of Labor Mitchell
said today that the threat of
a wage-price spiral is a Tabor
management problem, not a
Government problem. He said
he would only urge what Presi-
dent Eisenhower already has
urged-that both businessmen
and unionists exercise restraint.
At a bi-weekly news confer
ence, Mr.. Mitchell was asked
whether he would take any steps
to implement Mr.. Eisenhower's
state-of-the- Union plea to en-
ployers and labor unions.
II am not going to tell labor
unions or management how to
bargain except to say that self
restraint is wise adice," he re-
piled. ITO the extent that we can
assist by the production of
necessary statistics we will do
So"
Mr.. Mitchell reminded the
newsmen that the president
told employers to look to their
price policies and cautioned that
any wage increases other than
those to correct injustices or tied
to increase productivity tended
to be inflationary.
Must Remember Danger
II think the workers of this
country would be better served
If they bore in mind the threat
of initiation" he added.
The Secretary stated emphat-
ically that he was opposed to
any increase in the 81 minimum
