4 Thm Statesman. SaUm, Orgon, Thursday. January 16, 1947 a&e wftonitatc8maa -No Favor Svoays Vt, No Fear Shall Aipc" From First Statesman. March 28, 1851 THE STATESMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY CHARLES A. SPRAGUE, Editor and Publisher Measber of the Associate! rresa The Asaaclaled rrtH a exclusively entitled te the ase f er blieattea of aU cws sUspateltea credited to It or not etherwlse credited la this newspaper. Behind the Facade in France France is in the throes of organizing a government under its new constitution, adopted by small plurality for govern ment f the Fourth Republic. The separate houses are organiz ing and the two will elect the president-premier. Some weeks ago an article appeared in which the author predicted that France would rise again to become a great power in Europe and the world. He was indeed an optimist. There is a place for auch a France, but no present prospect of such attainment. In fact the picture of postwar France as painted by Arthur Koestler, one of the great writers of our time, in a recent issue of the N.Y. Times magazine, evokes fears whether France itself may be able to survive as political entity. The communist infil tration is so thorough, its grip on the switches of power in labor and politics so strategic that the nation exists almost by suf france. Koestler writes: The surface is the old charming Punch and Judy show of Freni parliamentarianism, with its chan of cabinet crises, elections, referendums; of party coalitions forming and breaking up like couples in a polonaise, and above all that sparkling, in exhaustible stream of oratory sustained by 280 weekly and twenty-five daily papers in Paris alone. But around this neon-lit carnival stalks the black death of mass misery and economic collapse; and underneath the earth is mined by preparations for the real showdown. About this undei ground reality nobody writes or speaks in public; and the average Frenchman, having just emerged from one hell, tries not even to think of the next one that may be waiting for him. It is like a repressed complex, a self-imposed taboo; and it Is this npiracy of silence about the basic facts which makes the political scene on the surface appear so spook-like and unreal. The be sic facts as he has found them are that France, has lost, her national sovereignty in the sense that it is militarily impotent: second, that the strongest political party in the coun try owes its allegiance to a foreign power; third, that France has lost its internal sovereignty, in the sense that the executive lacks the real power to govern the country. The communist penetration has been developed by transi tion from the resistance movement, by use of familiar tactics of liqudatien and intimidation, and by the method boring from within which gives the party cells in government offices and workers' unions. To quote: The party's five million voters, its public pronouncements, its aciofei.tic parliamentary maneuvers, are merely the facade fur the underground activities of a revolutionary movement with an oid conspiratorial tradition, a neo-Machiavellian philos ophy an- a clear grasp of the power factors that really matter. What props up France at the moment is the unwillingness of the communist party, probably on counsel from the Kremlin; to take -over power because that might result in civil war on the Spanish model and lead perhaps to another world war as the nations true to western culture opposed the progression of Byzantium to the English channel. There is no hope in a De Gaulle type of leadership which in turn mijht provoke civil war. The English socialists have "lost both their courage and their following." The one obvious solution which Koestler sees is in a federation of the west, including France, the Low Countries, a Franco-free Spain, Italy, the Saar and the Rhine province. But would Russia whose claws are already deep in France tolerate such a barrier in the west? The very crisis of the new France should serve to divert attention in that direction. The world has been wondering about what kind of Germany might emerge from the wreckage of wr. It needs also to be concerned over whether an inde pendent France may emerge from a humiliating defeat and Internal discord. For France s collapse would bring a new dark age for the culture at the west in the seat of its development. "Worst Commentator" Those who bust a suspender button or start a runner in their nylons getting to the radio on time for the Fulton Lewis broad cast will not be interested in this comment on Lewis by the Chicago Daily News: "Worst commentator of the year 1946 Fulton Lewis, jr. who is perhaps the most reprehensible crea ture -on the national scene today, and the only man who can make -us oeasick on dry land." We can't verify the verdict because we never listen to Lewis -or- any other radio -commentator." Among newscasters Jim Wyatt of KOIN is tops. He's good enough to be a news paperman. Politics is major business in the south: and serious busi ness too. Elections are frequent, rotation in office is the rule if not the law, and candidates are numeroifs. In Georgia now two men claim the office of governor. The governor-elect died and the legislature elected his son. Herman Talmadge as gov ernor. Ellis Arnall. governor for the last term, still holds the executive office which he says he will yield to the lieutenant governor as soon as he is sworn in. Each governor has an "army" at his back: and if the dispute is ended without actual use of force it will be a marvel. Talmadge is a chip off his father's block, who would continue the race hatred his father fostered in his campaigns for office. The sergeant-at-arms "bank" in the national house of representatives is short $121,000. This institution operates as a bank for house members. Whether the shortage is due to overdrafts of members or to embezzlement of employes is not mad clear. The absence of details invites suspicion that the former may be the case. House and senate restaurants are re ported to kee" money either because of taking too many IOU's of members or charging too little for food. Maybe the bank was run the same way. Presumably the loss will be made up by a legislative appropriation. The California Igeislature has a bill which would make mandatory a jail sentence of 30 days or not more than six month, a fine of $50 to $500, or both for persons convicted of driving while drunk. This is a move to reduce highway fatalities due to drunken driving. The purpose is laudable but there is always the danger that too heavy a punishment will lead to connivance in reducing the charge. An unsigned letter to the editor complains of the dog nuisance dogs digging up plants and bulbs. This frosty weather is no time to revive the dog-garden controversy, but come warmer days and it will be easy to start a hot argument over which comes first: the dog or the garden. They say times have changed in the New York apparel markets. No longer do the out-of-town buyers have to take the apparel dealers out to ritzy night clubs to gain the favor of a little merchandise. Soon the dealers will be. reaching for the check. The Albany Democrat-Herald, commenting on the increase in juvenile crime, expresses the opinion that the remedy lies in education. Not the kind though that is poured into the head but applied at the other end of the juvenile anatomy. Orepon has hired a new athletic director and. head football coach, James W. Aiken of the University of Nevada. The choice was a -surprise. The new coach has the advantage, he does not start with the handicap of a big reputation. Paul lYJallon'o BEHIND THE NEWS (DtstrtooOoo fey Klats roarwres 8r-SW-att. tec aesrooocuoo te wools at to part strtctly ocohts-Hea . WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 Mr. Truman revised many categories in his new budget and gave them higher sounding names for in stance he had a new one he cau sed "social wel jfare, health and security" (which is really about tall I want out of life or govern fment or God, as fa matter of fact.) &But the signifi ,cint and obli terated truth of .jthe budget mat "vter was he in- creased every Pa ml MailM single category new or old, except two. No mat ter what you call them, they all went up, except two, over the three year period of his budgetary figures. You housewives who figure budgets for living at these prices know a budget these days is a hope expressed in figures, within which you hardly can hope to live. The federal budget is a little more complicated because of a time element. Mr. Truman is figuring income and outgo for a period beginning six months hence and not ending until 18 months from date. He was there fore about as vague as you might be under those circumstances in these times, particularly as he can largely fix his income by tax adjustments of which he will have none, he says. Only Two Cases Less But to make the figures real as of today he submits them for three different years, each timt, and this time for the current fis cal year of the government, the last one, and the far-off next one. Now in only two of his cate gories are his expenditure pro posals less for next year than for last year. Those two are "national defense" and something he calls (not significantly I hope) as finance, commerce and indus try. (I have not included a third account which has been reduced called "refund of receipts," which is purely technical repayment of taxes already collected.) National defense had to be cut because you cannot spend as much for it in peacetime as in war, even last year's partial war year. This h cut from last year's 45 billion down to next year's 11 billion. The thing he called "finance, commerce and industry" was cut 215 million down to 112 million, nearly in half. 'General Government' U But look at his figure chart and you will see "labor" went up from 104 to 117 million. That category I mentioned as ideal, "social welfare, health and securi ty" went up from $1.1 billion to $1.8 billion. But you may sum marize the general truth by saying his new category called "general government" (this is much bet ter than-. saying the White House, or congress, or any individual part of general government, the mention of which might be odi ous) as I say general govern ment went up about a third from $988 million to $1.4 billions. So you must conclude from a budget analysis that the president proposed financial scheme is gen erally this: To cut down on nothing really except finance, commerce and in dustry, but to take this opportuni ty to increase everything else, and have no tax reduction what ever from the high wartime rates, making these high taxes balance a budget of unprecedent ed peacetime proximity to rea sonableness $37.5 billion. For this excuses may be plentiful. They always are in budgets. He may cite higher costs, needs, many other things. I am not dealing with motives. I am saying this is the residue result. Upon this newly excavated fi nancial ground, the president, you may have noticed stood firm but firmly in the position of (strange as it seems) an econo mizer. He dared the republicans to find one cent in his $37.5 bil lion budget for tax reduction. At this, the republicans have publicly laughed, and scorned. Even reluctant Republican Lead er Taft has come around since he got advance word on the bud get to advocate a 20 per cent tax cut. thereby Joining house ways and meaner Knutson who de manded 20 per cent from the first. Both differ slightly on fig ures but say 20 per cent can be cut from the expenditure and this 20 per cent will be the relief proponed from wartime rates. Badgets Always Wasteful My personal experience from 28 years of government budget reporting is that there never was a budget from which 20 per cent could not be cut. That much could be made up in government waste alone, without going into other savings categories includ ing "wise expenses." "necessary expenses," "politically advisable expenses, etc., which terms could well now be devised for advuci- I tion of new savings categories. i If the republicans cannot cut 20 per cent out of that budget without interfering with any wise and necessary government ex penses, they could not cut a piece of soft cake.
