DANGEROUS
PHILOSOPHY
A widespread feeling in
a substantial segment of
officialdom today is evi
denced in statements along
the line that the more we
spend the more we can
spend and since we are
spending so many billions
we need not greatly worry
about the letting go of a
few more billions. You can
find some such statements
in almost every issue of the
Congressional Record.
They apply, to so many
of the programs now being
advocated. They are
found in the current “new
economics” books.
They are heard over the
radio. A senator recently
remarked, in his enthusias
tic endorsement of the In
ternational Monetary
Fund and Bank, that the
possibility of the United
States losing its invest
ment of six billion dollars
was not really serious be
cause it would amount to
less than we are putting
into war expenditures each
month for death and de
struction. Is that states
menship?
It seems a hollow argu
ment intended for moronic
consumption. Because of
the fact that we are spend
ing so much for war, and
spent so much during the
depression years preceding
It »ti >Ii tit A i!i >ti (t. A i|i (l, iff rTi iTf Jt rTi rti tfi rti nV >|i if« tli Ji tl
the war, there is just that
much less that we can now!
spend for other things. To
disregard such fundament-;
al truth will surely put the
nation well along the road
to financial disaster.—(Se-i
