GEN. HURLEY'S CHARGES

Their Own Way

officially proclaimed foreign policies of the United States. His charges call for immediate, searching investigation '.y the senate foreign relations committee. Gen. Hurley, resigning as ambassador to China, told

These career diplomats, he said, worked in China

‘here they became supervisors. Same of them, he added, have been assigned as advisers ‘0 the supreme command in Asia, and most of them have | continued efforts to undermine policies announced by the highest authorities of our government. Gen. George C. Marshall, the great American who has been named to succeed Gen. Hurley in China, must be ‘given loyal, intelligent support. He must not be stabbed inthe back by persons whose motives, whatever : yy. » » » o : FOr concerning the truth of the Hurley charges we be- = lieve there can be little doubt. The secrecy with which the state department shrouds its operations—and of which “Gen. Hurley rightly complains—makes it impossible for the public to know all that goes on there. But evidence is abundant and plain that something is very wrong, .Gen. Hurley has pried off the lid. Now the senate should go all the way, get names and facts, and demand corrective action. ie ‘2 : Those responsible for division and confusion in the international policies of the United States should be required to leave the state department. As Gen. Hurley rightly says, “America’s “should not be allied with any predatory ideology.”

NO TIME FOR PUMP PRIMING HisH officials in Washington are quoted as predicting =" that the government will need a budget of around i $50 billion for the 1947 fiscal year—the 12 months begin"ning next July-—despite the large cut in war e 8, : Government revenue for that fiscal year is estimated at $30 billion. : ; Senator Taft of Ohio believes that the 1947 ‘budget need be no more than $40 billion. He and Senator George - of Georgia, chairman of the senate finance committee, agree that a balanced budget by 1948 is highly unlikely, which we should say is putting it mildly, y If Senator Taft is correct as to the size of the budget, that means a federal deficit of some $10 billion in - the 1947 fiscal year. If the high officials who predict a 50-billion-dollar budget are correct, that means a deficit ~ of 20 billions. And the deficit for the current fiscal year.

; seems to be more than 30 billions. : 3 In any case, the governmeht apparently js going” to} . continue spending a great deal more money than it takes in, incurring debt at a rate many times during the 1980s, when the, avowed purpose of deficit financing was to “prime the pump,” increase purchasing

. power and overcome the depression. 7 »r . » » ¥ QUR Washington report says the prospect means that additional federal tax cuts are “out of the picture for the immediate future, at least.” More than additional tax cuts ought to go out of the. picture. ~ All sorts of proposals for additional federal spending are being advanced on the plea that they are needed to prevent another depression. Most of them ought to be

ruthlessly rejected, and all the rest ought to be searchingly examined,

about wanting to defeat inflation, that is the way to proceed. The effort to hold down prices will be futile, and. its chief effect will be to discourage production, if pump priming on ever undertook before the war is long continued. That pump |, is over-primed now. Another depression can be prevented for years to come, provided the country goes to work and produces goods to supply the hungry markets. But deficit financing by th government, beyond the point where it is absolutely neces. | sary, will invite inflationary disaster. A ——————————
