Gums Slathered With Butter
.
The old saying about having our cake and eating it
too has taken on a new and deep significance.
There is no doubt whatsoever that military spending
is due for a big jump—perhaps much bigger than the Presi-
dent indicated in his budget message. And, along with this,
there is considerable doubt whether non-defense spending
will be materially reduced in any direction.
Those who want the government toM everlastingly take
on more/ind more responsibilities, at evirlastingly increas-
ing costs, are mobilizing now. A last ditdrfight will be made
to get maximum appropriations for welfare, grants to states,
socialised power projects, greater farm subsidies, pork-
barrels as usual, and all manner of handouts.
U this fight is successful, the nation will face two
choices. One is higher taxes on top of already staggering
taxes. The other is deficit financing and a further cheapen-
ing of the dollar—that is, more inflation.

This isn’t a question of whether we shall have guns or
butter. It is a question of whether vast gobs of political
— butter will be slathered onto the guns. Economic undermin-
ing of this country would serve the Soviets as surly as ig^i-
tary undermining. Never did a Congress, an Administration ,
or the people face plainer facts. Will they recognize them
