The move to cut down expenses on non-defense items in the budget was stated by the senate finance commit tee immediately following that com mittee’s approval of the largest tax bill in the history of our country. Impressed with the propbrtkm at tax money which must go into non defense items, the committee ai>- proved an amendment to the tax bill asking for an immediate estimate fnxn the bureau of the budget on how to effect savings up to $2,000,- 000,000. It also approved a resolution asking for a committee of both hous es of congress, the director of the budget and the secretary of the treas ury to inquire'into methods of sav ing. 6h the same day that these moves to reduce governmental expenditures were made, the special committee in vestigating old-age insurance made a report urging that the government pay $30 a month to all unemployed people over 60 years o|d and estimat ed that this would cost from three to four billion dollars annually. Sec tors immediately pointed out that if this recommendation was carried out it would require more funds than the total tax bill, which is expected to come to about $3,500,0004)00. Nevei> ville.

The members of the committee Florida, and Senator Thomas of Idaho. Although this bill is apt to be wav ed aside, it is indicative of the think ing of part of the congress which favors continuing to pour billions into new social reforms even thouidi the government debt is up to the 50 billion mark. And many congressmen ^ find Jt embarrassing to oppose such i measures when they realize there are j 12,000,000 voters who would benefit jby it. i , Byrd Stajtes View I Taking a more realistic attitude, {however, the finance committee is! ‘ insisting on government economy. I Explaining the stand of the commit^ ‘ tee, Senator Byrd said: ! “The pending 1941 tax bill of ne- I c^i^ imposes an additional and eg- Igregious burden on perhaps more taxpayers than ever before reached' by direct federal taxes. [ “This step now is absolutely neces sary in the teeth of the current de-[ fense emergency, but it is shameful that there has bron no earnest, sin-' cere effort to reduce non-essential,' non-defense expenditures of the fed-j eral government. Reductions made in these items this year have been in consequential, and probably will be wiped out entirely when all the sup plemental deficiency appropriation bills are passed. i “It is little short of outrageous to impose the burden of this tax bill upon the citizens of this country without at least a sincere attempt to reduce federal expenditures outside of essentially emergency items.’’ Although the debate on the tax bill is being conducted pretty much along party lines, the Republicans urging economy and the Democrats defending New Deal expenditures, it is expected that some economies in non-defense spending will be forth coming. The debate on the tax bill is creating more heated arguments even than surrounded the famous lend-lease bill. On the outcome of the! tax measure and its amendments, our financial policy for the future will be set. ^ Labor, Material. Prioritlea As a result of the appeals for unity in the address of President Roosevelt and many mtional figures in the un ions on Labor ^y, it is expected that labor problems may be somewhat re duced, although the shipbuilding, avi ation and automobile industries feel no assurance that there will not be new outbreaks to interfere with their production schedules. Many industrialists With big gov ernment contracts are coming to Washington with bags full of jrtatis- tics to show the government they now are actually losing money on defense production due to increased cost of materials, shortages of ma terials, increased labor costs and ex pensive adjustments in government specifications for the defense items they are making. The newly appointed super priori ties board, headed by Vice-President Wallace, is expected to look into all problems odiich art delaying produc tion and to figure out how best to Al locate luppliaa to take care of thp in terests of both defense industries and the civilian populatton. President Roosevelt txpe^ the new board to speed production of arras for all imd- Nad nations and at the same time to five due considerattoa to keeping the home fires burning in America. On the new board, beaidas the viee- preddent, are: William S. Knudsen, director general of the Office of Pro duction Management; Sidney Hlll« man, OPM associate (fixector general; Hariy Hopkins, q)ecial assistant to the predddiU Leon Henderson, fed eral price administrator; Secretary of Navy Knox, and Secretary of War Stimaon.
