Deficit Financing Draws NewBIost

Foreign nations and their
central banks take our gold
when they lose confidence in
the dollar. Precisely this Is
happening"
Senator Byrd says that, If
the balance-of-payments def
icit grows more serious and
Americas gold flows TO other
countries in larger and larger
quantities, there viii be talk
Of "diluting the dollars gold
base or reneging on our policy
Of offering the gold-or-dollar
option in foreign payments"
He emphasizes that eve dare
not consider action In either
direction while the dollar is
under fire Of domestic defi-
cits and declining value"
This is plain talk from one
Of the most powerful men
in the United States Senate,
whose words are respected far
and wide. He insists that
drastic action" must be
taken to reverse the down.
ward trend. He sums 1t up
this way:
I'VE must go to the root
causes Of the situation be-
fore it is too late. The root
causes are huge deficits at
home and huge deficits in
our financial transactions
abroad. Those in authority
must act to restore conf
dence in the dollar"
1t is obvious that the cause
of the trouble Is not deficits
by themselves but failure to
embark on a program that
looks toward q rapid growth
of tax receipts. This can be
done not merely by revising
Treasury regulations on de-
probation so as to encourage
plant expansion and modern
ization Of equipment but by
q general change In the atti-
tude Of the administration
and its advisers toward busi-
ness as q whole. Thefe must
be o dynamic means Of gen.

that investors win find it at
tractive to participate in

Productivity of Tax Rates Urged;
Byrd Warns of YoIue Of Dollar

that this win be taken care
Of automatically If the Fed
eral Government win only
spend enough to raise the
gross national product high
enough to produce the neces-
sary revenue.
This is evil fiction. It
never has worked. Il Is not
working now. and I can prove
it. It win not work in the
future, and it is dangerous
to rely on it. A prudent gov
eminent would balance its
budget by stopping non-es-
sential expenditures. This Is
not being done. The hard
fact is that continuing def
cits ultimately end In bank
ruptcy. When a nation goes
bankrupt, its assets are not
taken over and sold to satisfy
its debts. Its money becomes
worthless; its economy dis
integrates; its form of gov
ernment falls and changes"
The Virginia Senator points
out, too, that previous Fed
eral deficits have been "a
prime factor in initiation
which continues to reduce
the value of the dollar"
What this means is that
since 1899 the dollar has gone
down from 100 cents to 46.l
cents as Of March of this
year. Senator Byrd says he
suspects that, when the fig
ures come in, 1t win be found
that the dollar has gone
down further in April and
May. He adds:
I'm short, our situation Is
characterized by increasing
debt, continuing deficits, and
threatening initiation. Such a
situation does not inspire
confidence at home or
abroad; but we need conf
dence in the dollar now as
we never needed it before.
II say this because loss, Of
our gold, through Withdraw
ais by foreigners in its
own way imperils our
security like an atomic bomb.

Mr.. Bell, addressing the 65th

The budget director added
that it would be q mistake to

In years of low employment

Spain StrikesMust End
Franco Tells OfficioIs

MADRID, May IA R)-
Sources close to Gen. Francisco

plaguing Spain must end, even
if considerable concessions to

The two main areas Of dis
cord are the Asturias coal
fields and the Bilbao indus

negotiate a settlement was not

Latest Move To
Desegregote Dixie
Medical Society Fails

Atlanta CAMP - The Fulton
County Medical Society last week
voted against admitted Negroes to
membership for the second time
in two months.
The latest action failed by go
votes. It came on a resolution to
set up two factions of the society:
a presumably segregated Academy
of Medicine for social functions
and a new, strictly professional
medical society. Obviously the lat
ter would have been open to Negro
physicians.
The vote to dissolve and set up
the new factions were 800 to PSI,
considerably short Of the two
thirds majority needed. Last
month a resolution to change the
society's constitution and bylaws
to admit Negro members failed by
just two votes.
Following the latest refusal, DR..
Thomas Anderson, an official,
warned that the society's refusal
to integrate voluntarily may bring
about court action. Integrate be-
fore you are ordered to do so by
the court, he told the group.
