Angell Fears US Financial Situation WASHINGTON, April 11 OP) Rep. Angell (R-Ore.) said today the United Statci iaccs a critical financial era and "Uncle Sam is reaching the bottom of his fi nancial barrel and he cannot finance the world." Angell issued his statement in a review of the proposed $400, 000,000 aid to Greece and Tur key. He said It was realized in con gress that it is only "the initial payment" and not only Greece and Turkey need help "if the surge of communism is to be kept back but most of the other amaller nations will be knocking at Uncle Sam's doors for similar help." Congressional leaders, he said, Insisted that congress go slow in approving the president's pro gram until they can determine just what will be required. "The unfortunate situation confronting us is that this ad vance to Greece and Turkey is not alone for food but in a major part for military activity, which may lead down the path of war," Angell said. "The United States, . with a federal debt of 260 bil- Mion dollars facing it and a peace time budget of 30 to 35 billion .dollars, with the highest tax exactions ever faced by the American public, is facing a critical era financially. "Uncle Sam is reaching the bottom of his financial barrel and he cannot finance the world. "Congress feels that under these circumstances, it should not embark upon such a pro gram without full and careful consideration of every factor en tering into the problem . . ."

X Mb U& piliii I pi!! flit iHuiiii; The public thinks wi make 15 What do you think they should make? The public thinks 10 would bi fair What are the facts? Actually thi railroads earned enly2 1x 1948. Te provide the service you want, railroads need te earn at least 6. But estimates Indicate that even with the recent freight rate Increase, the return for 1947 wilt be only about half that requirement Why it takes to make the grade . . . Impartial research polls show that, on the average, people think we make IS . They also think a fair return ' would be 10. What We Make But for the year 1946, with tho biggest peace-time traffic in history,' the rail-' roads earned only . . .2'. This is less than one-half the comparable earn ings for other industries. The reasons for this low return are not hard to find. Since 1939 railroad wages have increased 52Bio and the . prices of fuel, materials and supplies have gone up 616io. But freight rates have just recently been increased an average of only 176io a year after the effective date of the last big wage increase. What About This Year? It is estimated that the return for 1947, even with the recent freight rate in crease, will be only about half the 6 minimum return required to provide . the improvements and service needpd. This will be because of increased costs of materials and supplies; because cer tain wage increases granted in 1946 were in effect for only part of 1946 but will be in effect for all of 1947; because of increased special payroll taxes on railroads; and because of a decline in passenger business. What Does Thin Mean To You? The answer is "Plenty!" Vour standard of living is the highest in the world be cause of mass phoduction. But mails' production would not be possible with out MASS TRANSPORTATION, which the railroads provide at low cost. Why 6 h Needed The kind of service your standard of living requires takes a lot of monoy for new equipment and improvements. To carry out the post-war improvement program for better equipment, tracks, terminals and modern safoty dovices, a minimum return of 6 is needed. So when tho railroads make only 2i cents on each $1.00 of tlioir not prop erty investment, it concerns you. The funds for future new equipment and improvements must come from railroad earnings and hIho from inves tors. They will furnitih monoy 'on rea sonable terms only if thoy have confi dence in the future earnings of the railroads. You Have Another Stake In This Even if you do not own any railroad stocks or bonds, insurance companies and savings banks do. So you still have a special interest in seeing that the rail roads are allowed enough to do a good job ... for you. i We are publishing this and other advertisements to talk with you at first hand about matters which are impor tant to everybody.
