Red Faces Over Red Ink Emphasize
Need For Intelligible Budget
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
If you've ever spent a lot more money than you expected to
and at the same time made considerably less than you thought you
would, you can Imagine the government's embarrassment these days.
It has lust found that in the
vear ended June 60 it spent
S11,000,000 more than it took in
from all revenue sources. This
budget deficit is three times what
President Truman guessed it
would be.
The unhappy bookkeeping situa
tion seems to have resulted from
both declining revenues and ris
ing expenditures. During the fis
cal vear lust closed, the govern
ment's intake dropped $3,900,-
000,000 below the previous year,
while outgo jumped $6,000,000,000.
When it comes to affixing
blame for the deficit, you'd have
a hard time nailing It tignt witn
out a battery of accountants to
help, and several months , for
analysis.
Administration leaders point
scornfully at the Republican
sponsored tax cut law of 1948 and
mutter something that sounds

like: "We told you so."
Other Democrats and nearly all
Republicans blame the red ink
budget entries on excessive gov
ernment spending coupled with
the continuing drop in business
activity.
What ever the reason, the hard
fact of the deficit is there. It is a
new element in the congressional
debates on federal economy.
It is especially shocking to the
many people who feel there is no
excuse for a deficit in peacetime,
with business still at relatively
high levels.
They must realize, however,
that these are not ordinary days
of peace. Actually the nation is
living in a shadow zone between
war and peace. It Is fighting a
"cold war ' with Russia a bitter
combat reaching into every arena
but the battlefield.
The money we spent in this
strength - sapping struggle
amounts to around half our $41,
000,000,000 budget for the 1948
49 year. Much of it goes to for
eign countries whose muscles we
are trying to toughen against the
builying aggressions of commun
ism. It would of course be a wel
come relief not to have to make
these outlays. But any steep cuts
In military or foreign aid funds
would constitute a sharp reversal
of national policy, most likely
with shattering effect on the soli
darity of western nations.
If we are to make any real sav
ings in the immediate future, it is
apparent they must come in the
government s domestic opera
tions. Higher taxes appear the
only alternative. .
Congress nas tne linai responsi
bility for achieving economy be
cause it votes the money. Cur
rently it is shirking its duty and
talking of a resolution mat would
Dass the buck to Mr. Truman by
directing him to shave 5 to 10 per
cent off 1949-50 expenditures.
Many congressmen ruetully
concede they have the spending
habit and find it hard to break.
Others argue they are improperly
cutting.
The Hoover commission agrees
on this score. It urges that budget
making be completely revamped
so that Congress can deal with a
clear, sensible document instead
of today's monstrosity on the
telephone book scale.

Growing Surplus Fails To Reduce

held at $1.03 a pound in spite of
growing surplus. It's part of our
aid to dollar-short Britain, which
controls a third of the world tin
output, and our good-neighbor
policy towards Bolivia, another
chief tin source.
From the American-British fis
cal parley in London comes word
that we have promised to speed
up buying of strategic minerals
for our government stockpile
that means dollars for Britain
and secjrity for us in time of
war. -
With the new food packing
season at hand, the price of tin
is up for much debate among
American businessmen, particu
larly since most other metal
prices have skidded this year,
and the world now mines more
tin than it uses.
The U. S. government buys all
the tin we use from the British,
the Bolivians and the Dutch.
Britain sets the price by what
it pays the Malayan mines, and
our agreement with Bolivia is
tied in with this price.
The tin that the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corp. buys is sold
through the Commerce Depart
ment to American manufactur
ers of cans, solder and bearings.
So far, the world surplus is no
burden because we, and others,
are putting it into strategic stock
piles. Synthetlo Rubber It Boon
The British want to keen the
price of their Malayan tin high
tor the obvious reason that
thereby they get more dollars
to help them balance their dol
lar area trade books. They would
do the same with rubber, prob
ably, except that our large pro
duction of synthetic rubber forces
down the price of natural rub
ber in Malaya.

only 21 cents. In those days,
American consumers did their
own buying, rather than through
their government, but they dealt
In large part with foreign car
tels that kept a firm hand on
production and prices oi tin
and rubber.
Congress has lust passed, and
the President signed, a renewal
of U. S. government control over
tin imports and the allocation of
tin among domestic users for
another 12 months. The govern
ment also controls the operation
of the big tin smelter at Texas
City, Texas.
The British and Bolivians in
sist the price of tin Is not too
high. They say mining costs
have gone up both labor and
machinery is higher than pre
war. A price cut, they argue,
would mean a drop in produc
tion.

NEW YORK. July 12.-W)
Prices will be lower and skirts
higher next fall.
That was the main imnresslon
gathered by more than 100 fash
ion editors assembled for the
opening of the New York Dress
Institute's 13th semi-annual press
week, at which leadine desieners
preview the next season's styles.
Strictly comopolltan was the
opening show of the week, a
"round-the-world" collection de
signed by Tina Leser, whose
prankish and often revealing
sportswear makes fashion head
lines each season. Recently re
turned from a global honeymoon
trip, the far-sighted Tina picked
up a few style ideas in each coun
try she visited.
Her wraparound "kimono coat"
In vivid red fleece, was of
course, inspired by Japan. Her
copper embroidered evening
skirts by India, her braid-trimmed
tunic suits by France. And
of course she added a liberal
sprinkling of Japanese paiamas
and exotic cocktail dresses which
Tina tagged "Near East."
Christian Dior, the Frenchman
accused as-"Father of the New
Look," intrigued the visiting edi
tors with a handsome, swish and
strictly French-looking group of
styles, most predominant sil
houette of which was the Moused
back suit. Most of his skirts are
slim, sometimes slit and some
times equipped with floating
panels 10 aaa motion and iuilness
