THE DEFICIT GROWS
Unless the brakes are sharply applied to check the rate of
national spending, America is heading- into bankruptcy as
certainly and determinedly as its most interested critic, Rus
sia, could wish. There have been warnings without number
that this might be so. To these there has been one notable re
sponse, the announcement of heavy reduction in needless
civilian employes of the army. But in all other respects spend
ing goes on regardless of ability to meet the bill- Deficit
financing is the polite name for such procedure. It means
debt, more debt, piled on top of the already staggering obli
gations which the nation has assumed.
How this works out may be understood from a little-noticed
Washington dispatch of recent days which made known that
the treasury was in the red two billions of dollars at the end
of the first two months of the fiscal year. Average rate of
spending these days is something more than three billion dol
lars a month; in this first two months period this spending
was one billion dollars a month more than was being taken in.
In all fairness it must be pointed out that no regular income
tax quarterly payment date fell within 'this period. There is
one this month and the receipts pouring in will unquestion
ably change the picture somewhat. It is a safe guess, however
that the deficit will be nowhere nearly overcome. Indication of
this is to be found in the fact that the two months deficit this
year was nearly two times as great as in the corresponding
period of 1948. It is, moreover, already greater than for the
entire preceding fiscal year.
The situation is not promising. Instead of reducing the na
tional debt, which was President Truman's announced ob
jective before his election to the White House, the nation is
being submerged in greater debt. The economies and ef f icien
cis in government which can change this situation are still
to be adopted.
GREATER PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN
School kids assembled to board one of their buses or prepar
' ing to disperse after leaving it are in a little less danger from
general traffic than they were a year ago. And drivers who
have been prone to disregard the safety of pedestrians are in
just a bit more danger of being punished for their careless
ness than they were in the opening days of the school term
in 1948.
The reason is found in legislation enacted under an emer
gency clause at Salem this spring. Actually it was in effect be
fore the close of school but it
drivers seemed to be aware of
interval of summer vacation, it is well to call attention to the
fact that new aird special protection has been properly given
to the youngsters who travel from home to classroom (and
return) by district-operated conveyances.
Specifically, the law forbids passing a school bus which has
stopped to load or unload children. On two lane highways
drivers must halt their cars before reaching the front end of
the bus, whether meeting or overtaking the school convey
ance, and may pot go on until no more children are crossing
the highway or even leaving the bus. On highways of more
than two lanes the law affects only drivers overtaking th
vehicle which has stopped to unload or load pupils.
It is a good law and one which merits the utmost regard
from highway travelers. : ,
Out on the Farm
By Ha S. Grant
Sept. 12 Yesterday we har
vested the squash and beans, to
freeze them before Nature did. It
was a good thing, because this
morning the vines were limp.
There was just a tinge of self
reproach about the whole thing,
because a friend had offered to
Joan us a huge blanket of sewed
together burlap bags. We went to
town last night to do a dozen er
rands borrowing the cover in
cluded and came home without
it. "Let's go back after it," I
pleaded. "It's too late," said the
Chief. "Everybody will be in bed."
And that was that
Yesterday, the two or three
families of us who tended the
garden since its infancy, picked
two bushels or so of squash-and
about 15 gallons of beans. The
vines weren't picked clean then.
The ironic part about it was that
I picked the biggest squash, to get
them off the vines, and left the
small, choice ones for immediate
use. There were lots of yellow
crooknecks, and I didn't pick one.
There were two vines of hardshell
acorn squash, too, that we were
hopihgr would mature. I wish I
didn't feel so sad about it. Re
grets are so useless, too.
We did cover the tomatoes, with
the few sacks we had, and they
were all right this morning; In a
way, it will be a relief when every
thing U dead. Then the waiting
and wondering will be over.
I know how Mildred Walker
felt when, as "Ellen," she wrote
her first-person novel, "Winter
Wheat," and started out like this:
"September is like a quiet day
after a whole week of wind. I

WASHINGTON COLUMN
By Peter Kilson
(NEA WaahiPMtin Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) Complete
revision of American and Euro
pean foreign trade practices will
be necessary in the next few
years if U.S. recovery payments
to Marshall plan countries are
ever to be ended.
This In brief Is the substance
of a report which Assistant econ
omic cooperation administrator
Wayne C. Taylor will soon make
after a four-month study of Euro
pean business conditions.
Since early this year, Mr. Tay
lor has been devoting his full time
to the problem of how Europe can
sell more goods to the U.S. Eu
rope's trade deficit with the
United States is estimated at
about $4,000,000,000 a year for the
next five years. What this means
Is that Europe will have to sell in
America goods worth that much
more if it is to break even.
Wayne Taylor Is a former un
dersecretary of commerce and ex
chairman of the U.S. Export-Import
bank. He took a seven-man
mission of Marshall plan arid
commerce department experts to
Europe with him last May. They
visited every Marshall plan coun
try except Greece, Germanv and
Iceland. They talked to U.S. ECA
and consular officials, foreign
trade associations, businessmen
and bankers. The Taylor, mission
is now completing a huge report,
with many statistical annexes and
exhibits. It will make specific rec
ommendations on what might be
done to increase U.S. imports
from Europe.
A vast educational campaign
to "sell" these ideas to the U.S.
congress, European governments.
American and foreign business
men may be involved. Merely tell
ing the American people that they
should buy more foreign mer
chandise won't be enough. Eu
ropean exporters must learn what
the American market Is, produce
goods for it, get them over here
and merchandise them.
This will probably bring a loud
yell from many American bus
iness firms. But in the main it is
believed that European manufac
turers can produce lines of goods
which American firms don't or
won't make, and so will be non
competitive with U.S. products.
New bilateral trade agreements
between the United States and all
European governments may be
involved. In return for tariff con
cessions, European import quota
restrictions, which are far worse
than any tariffs, will have to be
scrapped to make a fair trade
deal. Negotiation of such agree
ments is now blocked because ex
tension of the reciprocal trade
agreements act, which expired
June 30, is now blocked in the
senate though It has passed the
nouse.
The average U.S. tariff rate is
now said to be about 9 per cent.
A lot of things come in free. But
some of these items hae duties
up to 70, 80 and even 110 per
cent. Many aren t coming in at all.
Other factors in this situation
involve European trade practices
entirely. European exporters have
been out of the U.S. market for
10 years. In the meantime the
market has changed. Ignorance

niiuuls is pretty complete.
So far, European exporters
have tested only the New York
market. Their salesmen have to
get out Into the midwest, south
and west to drum up more bus-
tness m the big series of U.S. mar-
kets.
Foreign credit lines have to be
built up. They must extend right
to local banks in cities where re
tail sales are made. In marketing
British curs In America after the
war. U.S. finance companies
weren't called In. Most sales Were
for cash. When the sellers' mar
ket ended, the British were simp
ly not prepared to sell on credit.
So they lost the market entirely.
This revolution In trade prac
tices may sound formidable, says
Mr. Taylor. But It is by no means
Impossible. What the Europeans
have to do more than anything
else Is go to work on It.
Nuclear Lab
On Mountain
Now Favored
Boston, Sept. 12 HJi A nuclear
research laboratory more than
18,000 feet up North America's
highest mountain "was recom
mended to the navy by a leading
scientist, today.
Director Bradford Washburn of
the Boston mustAim of science an
nounced he would Inform the of
fice of naval research that It Is
feasible to establish such a lab
oratory 2,000 feet below the sum
mit of Mount McKinley In Alaska.
Washburn recently returned
from a month's survey of the
peak. The navy had asked him to
see II a llxed-polnt cosmic ray
observation point could be erected
on the mountain side.
Dr. Marcel Scheln, a University
of Chicago research physicist, re
cently suggested the laboratory
be built after studying cosmic ray
data obtained on the 20,270-foot
mountain by a 1947 Washburn ex
pedition.
Cosmic Rays Involved
Little Is known about the mys
terious cosmic days which bom
bard the earth's atmosphere.
Their study plays an important
part In nuclear physics, which led
to development of the atomic
bomb.
Washburn, who made his sur
vey in a helicopter, recommended
Denali pass as the best site for
the laboratory, lie said helicop
ters could land on Muldrow gla
cier, about 7,000 feet up the
mountain. The rest of the journey
could be made on foot. , -
Washburn was convinced
through personal experience that
prefabricated buildings and scien
tific equipment could be dropped
into the pass by plane. This was
done successfully by the 1947
Washburn expedition. j
Though winds are more then
100 miles an hour and dally sum
mer temperatures drop to 20 ile
grees below zero in the pass,
Washburn said scientists could
stay at the laboratory In shifts of
four to six weeks to study the
cosmic rays. i
Since the days are best record
ed at high altitude near the mag
netic pole, Washburn said Mount
McKinley was the "world's most
ideal spot" for such research.
Planes and balloons make record
ings at higher altitudes but can
not make continued, fixed-point
observations, he said.
