It is “outrageous,” says the Communist paper, that with income taxes “taking approximately one-fifth of the worker's weekly wage,” Mr. Truman should propose to spend more than $12 billion on “armaments” and many millions on atomic bombs and the stockpiling of scarce war

materials.

We understand why the Daily Worker thinks it would be a grand idea to hold American national defense budgets to a billion a year or leas—the prewar figure which it says gught to be plenty now. In fact, with their devotion to mperialism of “Holy Russia,” the Commies would prefer to See this country have no army, no navy, no air force, no Atomic bombs and no war materials, Ly But when they try to convert American workers to their viewpoint by talking about the income-tax burden, there is no reason for letting them get away with lies. That burden, to be sure, weighs heavily on workers and-on qveryone else. But it takes nothing like one-fifth of the Wage of any worker who earns $100 a week or less.
