U79 Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY MANY citizens, interested In both a strong national defense and a sound national ecpnomy, have been seriously concerned lest in the cause 01 tne latter tne con gress niRV dn damase 4o the former. The world situation certain ly has not reached the point where the United States can impose severe and crippling restrictions on its armed ser vices. Those of us who feel that there must be definite ., reductions in me nauuniu U 1 budget do not want it to go II go far that it weakens our position as a military power.' EPLEY Thus, the concern, in this connection, we have found much that hlerests and assures us in a speech which was nfcde by Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia in the senate on February 26, 1947. Senator Byrd s refutation as a sound critic of reckless federal spending makes his comments especially sig nificant. " r 'Untouchabilitv" lioR the benefit of those who are interested P with us in this problem, we give excerpts frJom Senator Byrd's speech: !"In recent days the statement has repeatedly been made that it is proposed, and already de cided, to reduce the appropriations for national defense to a point that would dangerously crip pie, if not destroy, our whole defense structure. Statements such as a 10 per cent cut would "Immobilize" the entire "navy and lay up all of olir fleet in the harbors; that any reduction Whatever in the army appropriations will de stroy the effectiveness of this arm of our de fense, have been broadcast over the radio and 1 1) rough the Dress. The effort is transparent: to invest all military expenditures with a "halo" of untouchability; that congress must not dare to eliminate the waste and extravagance exist ing in nearly every operation, but must accept without question the estimates of national de-. fense cost as submitted by the military forces and approved by the president. J "As a member of the joint legislative budget committee, I emphatically deny that any de cision has been made which includes a reduc tion in the operations for the armed services vfhich would cripple national defense. "It is idle for anyone to say that there can npt be substantial economies effected in the army and navy expenditures. We have emerged ff-om the most wasteful and destructive war in all history. It is true, I think, beyond a question 4f doubt, that many of the extravagances of war still continue in the peacetime operation of dur army and navy. In the third year of peace it is time to eliminate the waste of war and ijUv.e our national defense expenditures on the most efficient possible basis. - ' J "As one who has been a long and steadfast advocate of preparedness, I think - the' best service that can be rendered the cause of na tional defense is to accomplish it with economy and efficiency so as to give confidence to the people of America that their money is not being wasted . . . . Need Assurance ll INLESS the people of America have the J assurance that this great cost throughout he years to come is being efficiently and wise ly expended, I predict that the day will come when the American people may demand re ductions in the national defense that will, in fcal fact, seriously cripple its operations. We Biust .look at national defense as a long range program. It is important now, but it may be more important in years to come. It must be so Conducted within the ability of the people to fay, and with the utmost economy . . . , "Again I call attention to the fact that the overall cost per man in uniform around the feorld during the war was $6960 while in the budget the average cost per man in 1948 will be S6790 which means that the army and pavy propose to expend as an overall average only $170 (less per fighting man in peace than S combat! These figures include all expendi res made by the armed forces, during the tar as compared with those estimated for 1948 expenditures for ships, planes, ammunition 4nd everything else that was consumed in com bat: This item certainly needs a clear ex planation. i "I merely cite these to show that the army and navy should not be "untouchable" but fhould be required .to give adequate national defense on a basis of the most economical and Efficient management possible, i "Economic security and national defense must o hand in hand: Without the capacity to fi nance national defense we cannot have it. I favor the 6 billion dollar cut in spending in yiruur io protect our luiure solvency. By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 5 The top grapevine from Russia whispers Stalin has decided to let his various diplomatic campaigns around the world coast for a time. Specifically it re ports any Russian move to capture the Dardan elles from Turkey has been dropped. This was the feared venture which American government authorities thought might bring on another armed conflict, although our military people, recognize they could not do much about pro tecting the distant straits unless we wanted to declare war on Russia. Now I am not guaranteeing the prophesy of the grapevine, merely .reporting that the news has been received in our official quarters. Per sonally I believe only what I sec, after it has happened, in connection with the current situa tion. My own reports long ago suggested the Russian spring campaign would take the line of arming the Greek guerillas secretly in the north for a rebellion which would cause an uproar in Greece a report which has grown in significance now that the British wish to back out. So 'the Moscow conference of foreign min isters, at any rate. Is approaching under slightly, favorable inner auspices. Our diplomatic au thorities do not consider the auspices to be more than 'slightly favorable, because the deputies of the foreign ministers, who have been preparing the drafts of proposed German and Austrian treaties, have not been able to agree on much. Indeed, in the judgment of the foremost diplomats, the Moscow meeting will not be able to agree on much either. In general, I believe, our government expects continuance of the unsatisfactory stalemate of world peace affairs, accentuated by the British crisis. ' a " a a No Troop Withdrawal BUT I cannot detect on the inside, any wide spread support for calling off the proposed conference, or to withdraw our troops from Ger many, leaving only the policing nucleus of, say 500 men there (as suggested by an army au thority in this spot recently.) Most officials cling to the belief that conversations with Russia must continue, however small may be the chance of settlements. Yet they are afraid to withdraw from Germany because they suspect Russia would immediately begin campaigning to spread her influence in the British, French and American zones. They recognize we are in Germany solely because of the existence of the constant Russian threat, and we must re main there until some genuine evidence accumu lates that the threat is over. The Russian diplomatic game is well under stood here. Stalin can afford to wait instead of moving now, for instance, into the Turkish territory. Communism wishes to continue to capitalize on all world discontents, insecurity and fear. Ills must always exist in a human world, and Russia is trying to collect all op positions everywhere, in expectation that when breaks develop, she will inherit governments everywhere by simply having them fall into her lap. That strategy is easily discernible. Now General Marshall has started his tenure with a speech (Princeton February 22,) striking out against the apathy of the public concerning world affairs, and presumably also against pub lic disinterestedness in the severe situation I have outlined above. He says America- must assume world leader-ship. . But his speech was couched . in generalities and really was itself evidence of the 'situation against which it com plained. We (the people) look to Marshall, Truman, Taft, Vandenberg and others for lead ership, but there is no. ardent public sentiment for any particular world developments, and the speeches of the leaders are so general in nature they have failed to arouse any sparks of public sentiment. Personally I think the leaders are responsible more than the people. The situation is just as grave as General Marshall contended more so since the British break. If we all keep on coasting the way we have been in the past few months, Stalin will realize his aims. Leaders like Marshall should get into action, talk frankly and plainly, but above all specifically. Russian Responsibility FIRST of all, Russia should be required to take the responsibility of her leadership in her satellite states, and no longer be per mitted to sit back waiting for enough world ills to accumulate to throw nations into her purely negative revolutionary program. What are the economic conditions which communism has brought to European nations she conquered? The truth should be known and advertised. The whole world then would know communism has brought nothing superior or desidable to any one. Communism is impovershed ethically and economically. Russia cannot give the people a better living. She cannot even produce a good automobile. Russia should not be allowed to sit back and wait for chaos (while secretly promoting same) using the riehts and privileges of democracy to accomnlish the ruin nf Hdmnprin-r r)sn. snouia give ner no more rights than she gives them. If Marshall, Truman. Taft and Vandenberg would take un a nrnuram of nffi like this, which held some promise of genuine encouragement, mere would be less public apathy for them to complain about.

The World Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affaiii Analyst England and France finally have signed their much-discussed 50-year alliance in the dramatic setting ol immortal Dunkcrque but, while the ostensible pur poses of the treaty, have been cited, there still is ground for much speculation as to just what might grow out of it. . We are told that it is designed to provide mutual protection against any future aggression by Germany. Similar accords are proposed with Holland, Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Poland to encircle Germany. With a new entente. Well, the desire for such a safeguard cer tainly is understandable, al though its . inauguration isn't particularly pressing in view of the fact that the fatherland is so crippled as -to be unable to make war within the 50 - year period of the alliance. Economic Pact Of far more immediate prac ticability is the jroiccted econo mic pact on which statesmen of cngiana ana r ranee are ai woric as a supplement to the alliance. Under this pact the economies of the two nations would be inte grated a remarkable and per haps far-reaching development. I believe it is to this economic pact that we must look for guid ance as to the major significance of the Anglo-French love-feast. The point that strikes one im mediately is that both countries are in the midst of life and death economic crises. And when we use that emphatic language we merely repeat what statesmen of both nations have been saying. None disputes that France and Britain are in a terribly bad way. So we see these comrades in arms, but rivals in trade, zealous ly seeking to coordinate their economies for mutual advantage. Don't let the woather get you down.

March 5 P) With an eye to economy, the state and war department have scrapped a plan to explain the military occupation of Germany with a traveling exhibit In the Uni'ed States. The two departments had worked on the project, pat terned after exhibits used by the British and French governments in their respective countries, for several weeks. Officials said today the de partments finally decided I', was "inadvisnble," chiefly because of the clamor in congress for re duction of expenses. Why not have additional cash, the benefits of a social unit and a technical training institution? These are all yours in the U. S. naval reserve.

"What Is the origin of the term '30' used to end wire cony?" Wo asl.etl several of tlio follows In the buck shop who have boon hero for years. They hud all used the term so long that thev hud either forgotten or had never known why It was used. Ono of our re porters said that she thought it wits from a railroad telegraphers code manual, and .hut "30 wits used to signify tho end of any message, or as a signal for "that's all." a a a Another fellow from the radio stutlnii, suld that he thought It was an original news- fiupcr term, used buck in tho land setting days, and hud some thing to do with the typesetter reaching the end of a galley. Several other ai.swcrs were In the offing, but it was never definitely decided Just where the term bega.i, why not use some other number? We're rather curious, If ai.y of you know, drop us a caM, will you?
