U.S.TaxpayerHas
Company in Woes
By SAM DAWSON
or Ihe Aiiorlatrd Frest
NEW YORK Other people's
troubles often can be a com
fort even if they shouldn't be.
And awareness of the squabbles
in tho Communist bloc can ease
tho pain for Americans bewild
ered by government spending
rising to $122 billion and the
prospect of Treasury deficits
that soem to grow with each
fresh look at tho books.
And also the dissension in
what has been billed as an Eden,
tho European Common Market,
could do something for any
shaken morale of Americans
fared with stubborn unemploy
ment, labor strife reaching the
acute stage in some areas, a con
tinuing deficit in international
dollar settlements.
Even when things look bad,
it's a comfort to know that we
aren't alone. And the chances
arc we'll work out our problems
as quickly and as well as will
the others and probably faster
and better.
The Communists' troubles arc
economic as well as political.
The policy split between the So
viet Union and China is the po
litical part of it. But their strug
gle with agricultural failures.
their loss of markets in Western
Europe, their inability to get be
yond hit and run gains in scat
tered areas of the world in their
competition with American in
dustry all are becoming more
evident. That's what is behind
Soviet Premier Khrushchev's in
creasing imitation of Western
capitalism and his attacks on
the Common Market.
But the spectacularly success
ful venture of the six European
nations also is running into
problems. In a number of areas
tho big growth in industry
slowing down. The costs of pro
duction now are rising faster in
Western Europe than in the
United States. .
At home the United States
will have to deal with rising
discontent in labor's ranks over
the inroads of automation on
jobs, and insistent efforts of
management to hold down in
creasing production costs.
Congress will have to decide
it tax cutting will heln solve
this problem by Increasing con
sumer purchasing power and
business spending power so that
production will rise and more
jobs be created.
And Congress will have to de
cide how high Treasury deficits
can go without hurting the pur
chasing power of the dollar at
home and its standing in world
financial centers.
But the rest of the world will
be having its troubles, too. Prob
lems aren't an American monopoly.
