The Second 'Fair Deal' Announced
President Truman in his midyear economic report to
congress has by scrapping his demand for higher taxes
and a balanced budget and demanding an extensive infla
tionary program inaugurated a second "Fair Deal" of
deficit spending.
Mr. Truman thus followed the example of his predeces
sor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected on a platform
calling for rigid economy and a balanced budget (the First
New Deal) after a few months in office similarly junked his
platform for deficit expenditures that continued through
out his three terms (the Second New Deal) and on the
same pretext, for fighting unemployment and recession.
Repeatedly in the last six months and up to a week ago
the president has stood pat for a $4 billion increase in in
come taxes and a $2 billion increase in withholding taxes.
But now he tells congress flatly that "no major increase in
taxes should be undertaken at this time" and advocated
deficit expenditures, which only a week ago he viewed with
alarm. He continued:
"We cannot expect to achieve a budget surplus in a declining
national economy. There are economic and social deficits
that would be far more serious than a temporary deficit in the
federal budget."
At the same time, the president emphasized the strength
of U.S. economy and recommended an 11-point program
aimed at the highest prosperity ever.
He set a goal of "well above $300,000,000,000" far
above past peacetime records for the national output of
goods and services. He said it could be reached in the
next few years. But his message will convince not only
the people of this country, but the world in general, that
a serious economic crisis threatens the nation, though he
calls it a "transition period" from post-war inflation.
It is hard to see how increasing production, of which
there is a surplus already, will help unless the markets for
this production is found and the only market in sight is
that provided by loans or gifts abroad and subsidies at
home. The cost of production is due largely to high wages.
Among the president's recommendations is an increase
In estate and gift levies, and repeal of transportation taxes,
more liberal rules for carryover of corporation losses;
an improved program of farm income supports as advo
cated by Brennan, the boosting of minimum wages to at
least 75 cents an hour with broader coverage but increas
ing the amount of unemployment compensation to ?30 for
26 weeks, which will destroy the incentive for work.
The second Fair Deal will immensely extend federal
control and promote socialism perhaps as a forerunner of
bankruptcy and eventual totalitarianism.
Here is President Truman's position today on some key
policies, placed alongside the views in his economic report
of six months ago as listed by the Associated Press :

bregon Gets 'Daylight' Train Service
J The Southern Pacific's "Shasta Daylight" is more than
Just another fancy train. It is belated recognition to
the Pacific Northwest of this region's growing importance.
The train's firBt run was Sunday.
California saw the original "Daylight" streamliner in the
epring of 1937. This idea of having a first-class train
cover the run between San Francisco and Los Angeles
during daytime hours proved popular. So a "Noon Day
light" was added in 1940. A year later another "Daylight"
train was routed down the San Joaquin valley between the
two metropolitan areas of California. By the spring of
this year, this series of "Daylight" trains had carried their
10 millionth passenger.
One of the advantages the Pacific Northwest has in
this new "Daylight" service is in improvements that have
been made through experience with the special trains in
California during these years.
Salem, on the "Shasta Daylight" route, welcomes the
new train as one offering the people of the area and state
a better type of train transportation.

"If anything has happened to the owner," Small said today,
