Mother FEDERAL BUDGET AS UNTRIWiMABLl AS PRIVATE LIST Congress Never Able to Re duce . Expenses When Viewed Item By Item. By Preston Grover Washington Out of a con templated national budget of nine billion dollars (count 'em), it seems as if congress ought to be able to chisel off a couple of billion at least. But when you begin looking at the budget item by item you can't escape the conclusion that there will not be much trimming. The congressional heart Is probably as hard as any other heart in the mass. But the com gressional heart is never con fronted by the budget in the mass. It is confronted by it peacemeal. And the congres sional heart will melt again. piecemeal, and there will be no cutting down of appropriations. Congress can always make a show and demonstrate that it cut the budget but that claim is always a publicity cheat. The budget is what the various de partments ask for. As a matter of well-established practice they always ask more than they ex pect to get, although they will defend every dollar as essential to the continued national ex istence. Congress Raises F.D.R. The president gets first chance at cutting the budget. He too is a past, master at dolm; it the skillful way. More than one con gressman will tell ycu that the president does his heavy trim ming in items whioh he expects congress will put back. The Idea is that it leaves him a margin so he may be lenient with those portions of the budget for whlcn he has shown special favor in recent yeavs notably the navy and army. As an example, he trimmed a slug off farm benefits a cou ple of, years ago and suggested that congress could put it back only if it was willing to raise the .extra money by taxation, The congressmen didn't raise the money but did put back the appropriation and the pres ident has been punishing them verbally ever since. Take individual appropria tions, then the point is clearer, For the old-time, services of the department of agriculture, such as extension work, inspection experiment stations, and the like, about $391,000,000 is needed. But the department of agriculture appropriation last year was $1,289,000,000. Where did it all go to, and why can't some be cut off? Well, $654,560,000 t w o- thlrds of a billion went out as soil conservation and benefit or parity payments to cotton grow. ers, tobacco growers, corn and wheat growers, and farmers tn general. In an election year do you expect mid-western senators and house members, or those from the cotton and tobacco belt, or the trans-Mississippi wheat states,- to vote for cutting that figure? If you think so, you have never seen a congressman in the flesh. Congress cut the emergency relief appropriation last session, but even then It reached the somewhat staggering sum of $1,775,000,000. That is barely half what it has been at times. Congress is more likely to In crease the sum even for this year than to cut it. Take the next Item, the vet erans' administration appropria tion of $561,093,000. That sum, too, will increase, not decrease, Have you heard anyone arguing for a reduction of the CCC? That cost $295,000,000 this year. Firing Won't Help How about the army? It got $531,904,000 in 1039, and the sum was jacked up to $742,008.' 000 for the current 1940 fiscal year. The president has already asked another $118,000,000 to pay for increasing the army Im mediately. Moreover, only small amount of the total cost of the new air program has been covered by appropriations. Un less the program Is stopped In mid-air (nice pun, suh), moro cash must come. The navy got $625,066,000 In 1939 and $778,188,000 in 1940. To pay for ships already started more must come next year. The president hna lumped additional army and navy needs into a flat half billion. That will mean an even two billion for defense. Want to cut it? You caq't make a dent in such figures by firing a few dozen secretaries. If you can put your finger on a single one of those appropriations likely to be cut by the coming congress we will be glad to send you a picture of the president laughing up his ilecve.

To the Editor: In your editorial "Is the Red Daneer Over?" (December 6), you show that the "Oregonian" thinks it is, and state tnai, in your opinion, it never existed, and moreover, It has no chance here. You both are surely right, both as surely wrong, and both wrong and right, as is the case on every question. The latest Russian move Is difficult to defend, especially at this time and distance, to .one not in Stalin's confidence, but it may eventually be realized as little en act of aggression as the snatching of the Polish Ukraine from Hitler is now quite everywhere considered, including the Chamberlain and Churchill set. And it cannot be classified as imperialistic as is now almost everywhere wrongfully held, be cause Russia is without a preda tory economic base. The recent acts of Hitler, Mussolini and Japan are imperialistic because they have such a base. But it does seem that Russia could have gained her objectives, so necessary for her protection against Invasion through Fin land by more Indirect, scien tific means and thus avoid the slaughter of workers on both sides. Russia, It seems, has the jit ters is afraid that the pseudo war will evolve into the whole world ganging up on her be hind Hitler's and Finland's gov ernments, which latter is a "made in Germany" product, a fact everywhere soft pedaled. She is bringing about prema turely the very conditions re garded Inevitable and has been struggling to stave off before world collapse. The Allies now realize that continued "war" against Ger many will push her right Into Stalin's lap. Accordingly, Rus sia's Invasion of Finland is a godsend to them which' they will not be slow to take ad vantage of in the name of anti aggression, but In fact for the preservation of their predatory economics, without which civil ization, they think, is impos sible. R. Hegner. Gold Hill, December 12. Sees World Against Russia. To the Editor: There has been considerable "ballyhoo" In all papers con cerning the Soviet-Finnish situ ation and I can't resist making a few comments. Some points seem to stick out in my mind. First of all with whom are Great Britain and France really at war? This seems to become more clear as the weeks go by. As Almus Prultt pointed out In his com munication yesterday, there really has been no war. It has all been "fishy" from the start. Britain and France didn't want a war with Germany. They had been planning "holy war" against Communist Russia for years, but their plans for send ing Germany In as the storm trooper of western Europe against the U.S.S.R. fell to pieces with the signing of the Soviet -German non aggression pact. They more or less woke 44 33 .00 Cloudy 48 3t T Rain 39 16 .00 Clear 61 33 .00 V Cloudy 57 46 .00 P Cloudy 44. 26 .00 Clear 85 43 .00 Clear 44 87 .03 Rain 43 84 33 Cloudy 60 30 .00 P Cloudy 77 43 .00 Clear 53 47 .33 Cloudy 66 33 .00 Clear 61 40 .04 Cloudy ..... 44 37 .00 P Clouly 41 .00 Clear 43 .47 Rain 85 ,07 Cloudy 38 86 PClouily 88 .08 Snow up afterwards and found them selves at war with Germany instead of with Russia, as they undoubtedly had planned. Some thing else which more or less confirms the above is the fact that England is sending large numbers of planes to Finland when her own air fleet is still definitely Inferior to the Ger man, with which she is suppos ed to be at war. Another in teresting angle is presented by the extensive German - Finnish military consultations which were held some months before the present conflict this can also be augmented with the rumors of planes and equip ment being furnished Finland by Germany. Now we come to something closed to home, which has arous ed a few questions and doubts In my mind. How does it hap pen that such out and out re actionaries as Herbert Hoover, Martin Dies, Hamilton Fish and others, have so "spontaneously" and with such vigor jumped to the defense of "the homeless people" of Finland? Where were they when Fascist Imperialists wore murdering women and children in Spain? Where were they when Hitler was crushing the democratic Czechs? What have they been doing to help the millions of "homeless" in China? I doubt if the men have suddenly changed, but rtther that the time and situ ation has changed Instead! Perhaps they aren't so Inter ested .in the Finnish people as they are interested In General Mannerheim and his clique, which gave the world its first real state of Fascist suppression when they came to power In 1918 with their ruthless starva tion and slaughter of some 30,- 000 Finnish workers. And since when has Rockefeller's Chase National bank become the "hu manitarian," the "protector of the oppressed?" Perhaps the following and other similar con nections have awakened the true "humanitarian spirit" of our business and political ty coons: 'The International Nickel corporation, a Morgan monopoly of 67 Wall ' street, owns the VFlnnlsh" nickel mines at Pet samo, Finland. The American corporation, headed by a Mor gan pal, Robert C. Stanley of the U. S. Steel corporation, has $7,275,000 Invested in the Pet samo nickel mines, and his In ternational Nickel corporation, with total assets of $254,000,000, and, The Imperial Chemical in dustries ot London, In which Neville Chamberlain, British premier, is a big stockholder, Is partner with Morgan In control of the International Nickel cor poration!" Perhaps these clever "gentle men" are using their "Finnish aid," and "prayers for the Fin nish people," augmented by their anti-Communist p r o p a ganda, as a convenient step ping stone for protecting their "unearned millions" and for another series of Palmer-Mitchell raids such as we experi enced after the war and which so conveniently Included all shades and degrees of liberals and progressives. Such rapid transformations as these gentlemen seem to have made can bear much watching! F. Cyril Sander. Route 2, Medford, Dec. 14. Convicts Older Salem. Ore.
