then look for controls.
Defense and foreign aid spending are the leaven h the economic
loaf now If they stay close to where’they are, inflation may not
show much continued vigor. If they increase, inflation will swell
decidedly.
In this connection, it should be recalled that President Truman
has placed, at least temporarily, a 15 billion dollar ceiling on defense
spending in the next fiscal year beginning July 1.
Out of the battle of words over the chief executive's “economy"
defense budget, it is becoming increasingly clear that the 81st Con-
gress will disregard the recommendation and carry on expansion of
at least the Air Force—to 70 groups.
Under the 15 billion dollar figure, the Army. Navy and Air Force
would receive about five billions each. Under this set-up. the Air
Force which has grown to 60 groups on its way to the 70-group
goal, would have to be cut back to 50 groups.
However, the nation and the legislators have become too air
power conscious. through the tremendous victories won by aviation
in the last war, to accer 1 the Truman program.
It is likely, therefore, that influential congressional leaders will
desert President Truman on this issue and approve the seven billion
dollars necessary to Air Force expansion.

• COAL—An odd feature of the economic picture seems to be that,
whmMiamtts‘‘nd heavy1 industry ingerreralgoigfut bls,
bituminous coal is piling up in the bins.
Late reports from the bureau of mines shows 67 million tons of
soft coal above ground. A number of small mines have shut down,
and larger concerns are concentrating on selling their output.
A few price cuts have been reported, but with stocks on hand,
buyers just do not seem to be interested in getting more.
One main reason for the excess is the recovery of coal production
in Europe. American exports in September, for instance, were only
1.101.257 tons, against 4,383.587 tons in September of 1947. The
month is typical of the trend throughout this year.

All this depends, of course, on the international

it has been doing for months, then look for no

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (P)—
The eleven-nation Far Eastern
Commission gave formal approval
today of formation, of unions, co-
operatives and other organiza-
tions by Japanese farmers.
The commission, which sets
basic policies for the occupation
of Japan, said it had drawn up a
formal statement of principles
for such organizations. It was
adopted Dec. 9 and has been sent
to Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
The 800-word policy statement
says at the outset that farmers
should be “encouraged” to form
organizations for their mutual
economic and social benefit, and
should have full protection of the
occupational authorities and the
Japanese government.
The commission advised, how-
ever, that its policy should be put
into effect gradually, “due re-
gard being paid to the immediate
economic needs of the country
and the need to prevent avoid-
able dislocation of food control
measures ”
In outlining rights and privi-
leges for the cooperatives, the
commission said they should be
organized along democratic lines
and have the power to admit per-
sons who are not genuine farm-
ers.

WYTASHINGTON— A difference of opinion exists among govern-
W ment economists as to whether the postwar. inflation, which
has surged steadily forward for two and one-half years, is going
upward or slowing down.
However, on one point all are agreed: The inflation does not have
as much wind in its sails as it had.
Members of the Council of Economic Advisers lean mostly to the
idea that inflation will move ahead. Since Presi-
