STAY IN THE BLACK
The deficit can be off
set two or three times by
economy. Most of the ex
pense items can be deflated
some. |Such obligations
as social security, veterans’
benefits, refunds and the
interest on public debt are
^ fixed. They can’t be cut.
But there are seven other
general classifications of
expenses that ought to be
deflated about 50 per cent,
all told. If this over-draft
can be avoided it’s a duty.
Proposed expenses that
ought to be lowered are
these:
FIGURES IN BILLIONS
National defense from $16.0
to $8.9; International fin
ance from $1.7 to $0.2; Aids
to agriculture from $0.5 to
$0.3; General public works
from $1.1 to $0.7; General
government from $1.6 to
$1.1; Supplemental appro
priations from $0.9 to $0.7;
1 and Proposed legislation
from $1.5 to $0.0 total
$23.3 pared down to $11.9.
