ably will determine our policies in
this regard for the duration of the

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. Assets and liabilities of the dis
trict are listed at< $232,358.09, with
an operating expense for the year of
$70,699.42.

nia (home-state of the Townsend

amendment to the tax bill.
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.
