SOFTENING THE CHINA COAST
For days our attention has been focused on the advance
of the American army in Luzon and on the crushing attack
made by our navy vessels and planes on enemy shipping off
the coast of French lndo-China. We have watched our forces
gaining ground until they have reached within less than 75
miles of Manila after their initial establishment of beach
heads on Lingayen gulf. We have watched the third fleet
intercepting a threatened reenforcement of the Jap troops
on Luzon this was the essential purpose of the action off
French lndo-China wrecking at least 69 enemy units, war
ships as well as transports and supply ships.
Almost as an afterthought in the story comes the news
that the third fleet, completing its mission, has been coming
up the China coast, keeping a 850 mile stretch.of it under lire
for days.
The report has very much the sound of a high, wide and
handsome celebration, the victorious task force "rubbing it
in," as it were, on the Jap guardians of the occupied main
land. It is no such thing, of course, but instead an extremely
important part of the campaign of combined operations. It
is a continuation of the action off the French lndo-China
coast, designed to mop up more enemy shipping and to neu
tralize enemy ports and bases from which, conceivably, the
Japs might still seek to send relief to Luzon by sea and air.
This is the first purpose, but there is another objective at
least as important. Once the Philippines are under control,
' the home islands of Nippon will be cut off from the Dutch
cast Indies important part of the Japs' stolen empire. Then
the invasion of China will be indicated. The pounding of the
China coast may well be interpreted as a necessary pre
liminary to such invasion.
How long it will be before invasion of the mainland be
comes an actuality is a question which the army and navy can
best be left to answer. Of one thing we may be assured,
however, the preparation of the answer is already under way.

Washington
Column
By Peter Edson
(NEA Staff Correspondent)
Every year the president sends
to congress three or lour pounds
of nice fresh budget message and
a lot of people wonder "So what?"
The thing Is filled with figures
of the kind that mean money,
though some are round, fat, long,
short or trim just like the human
variety.
But unless you have a secret
yen for financial statistics on gov
ernment spending, this annual re
port of the bureau of budget prob
ably represents more man-hours
of hard work and more of the
duller facts of official life than
any known tome that Is supposed
to teU all.
After the message goes to con
gress It may seem to be pretty
well forgotten if not positively ig
nored. Actually It isn't. Appropria
tions committees take it and kick
it around. They give the impres
sion of tearing it to pieces, rais
ing this item, lowering that, kill
ing some requests for money al
together and then thinking up new
ways of their own to spend money
which the agencies getting It
would never dare to ask for themselves.
A comparison of bureau of the
budget estimates sent to congress
in January, 1944, with the appro
priations enacted by congress to
cover the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1945, shows that of the
18 major divisions of government
expenditures, eight were appro
priated for practically as recom
mended In the last presidential
budget message. One was in
creased by congress and nine were
reduced.
The total net change shows that
congress whittled off the budget
over 3 per cent. The budget mes
sage recommended total appropri
ations of 66 billion dollars and
congress approved for 64 billions,
In round numbers.
The eight major departments of
government spending in which
congress saw fit to make no major
changes on budget bureau esti
mates were, in round numbers:
lend-lease, three and . a half bil
lion; interest on public debt,
three and three-quarter billion;
executive office of the president,
three million; veterans' funds, one
and a quarter billion; District of
Columbia, six million; public debt
retirement, 589 million; other re
tirement funds, 506 million; tax
and other refunds, one and a half
billion.
The one Item which congress in
creased over budget estimate was
a 55 million dollar raise on soil
conservation payments, .bringing
the total to 505 million.
All war activities appropria
tions were cut by two billion dol
lars, but about half ol this saving
was made by transferring appro
priations to authorizations to let
contracts, as mentioned above.
Total war appropriations for the
year were $54,588,000,000, nearly
85 per cent of alt government
spending.

For carrying on the housework
there were six servants besides
two more outdoors. All the house
work could have been done easily
by three people if energy and
briskness could have been put into
slaves. But that was impossible,
for the servants got no wages at
all, and they had developed de
liberation of movement, slowness
of nction, and stupidity of com
prehension into an art. It should
be said, however, in Justice to
human nature, that the tempta
tion to practice that art must be
very strong in those who are
never paid for their work.
