PREVENTING WAR IN FUTURE
TRUMAN’S BUDGET DEFENDED
Republican Criticism In Congress
Every Departmental Item
Increased
London, Jan. 13
A Washington correspondent says that the Republican majority in Congress has been quick to criticise President Truman’s Budget, which calls for the spending of nearly £10,000,000,000 in the current fiscal year.
The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee described it as a spendthrift Budget. Senator Taft said: “It’s too high.”
The chairman of the House Appropriation Committee declared that every single departmental item has been increased.
It must be remeiftbered, says the correspondent, that Congress always starts shooting as soon as any President puts forward his Budget. Nearly the whole of it directly reflects what the President called the costs of the war, the effects of the war ‘and their efforts to prevent a future war.
