TAFT T HE President’s message on the State of the Union is mild in tone and contains many statements of which every Ameri­ can must approve. But under general language which' avoids , any mention by name of Taft-Hartley or Brannan or cpmpul- sory health insurance, there seem to be included nearly all ' the programs the President advocated, in a much more violent tone just after the 1948 election.*^ ' ' The olive branch is also held out to business, but I cannot see that business is justified in expecting any d i f f e r e n t treatment from what it has- ac­ tually received, or any different program for the future. No mention is made of price c o n tr o ls , b e ­ cause apparent­ ly there is not at the moment any immediate threat of infla­ tion. No mention is made of uni­ versal military training, because the Army has other uses for any increased appropriations which may be. allotted to it. But the message still advo­ cates repeal of the Taft-Hartley law and the restoration to labor union officials of the onesided arbitrary power conferred by previous legislation. It still advocates the Brannan .Plan, mandatory price supports for additional commodities, and “pro­ duction payments.” It still im­ pliedly advocates the nationaliza­ tion of medical care. It still advo­ cates deficit spending. > * * * rpHERE is a strange inconsistency * in the claim that Federal ex­ penditures will be held to the lowest levels looking to a balanced budget and the long list of public works and handout expenditures. The Brannan Plamihight cost $6 billion. Direct government loans for housing represent a direct draft on the Treasury in place of FHA insurance which utilized pri­ vate capital. Large-scale public *power development is advocated throughout„the country; and spe­ cial support for the Columbia Valley Authority and the St. Law- *rence Seaway, Old-age benefits are to be in­ creased and extended, requiring increased payroll taxes, as does also the proposal to increase the •benefits of unemployment insur­ ance. A system of medical insur­ ance would cost $6 to $7 billion more in payroll taxes, ; In the foreign field, the Presi­ dent seems to suggest an in­ creased expense in the military assistance program “ to put into effect the commot. defense plans that are being worked out;” He emphasizes a new program for assistance to undeveloped countries which, he says, will re­ quire the movement of large amounts of capital, particularly from the United States. The ex ­ pense of extending “ the full bene­ fits of the democratic way of life to millions who do not now enjoy them, and preserve mankind from dictatorship and tyranny” seemsy almost beyond calculation. YN FACT, the message itself- say3 •*• that the President’s program “necessarily requires large expen­ ditures of funds.” The message al­ most becomes farcical when the President says “ the fiscal policy I am recommending is the quickest and safest way of achieving a bal­ anced budget.” As I v/rite this, Congress has not yet received the economic mes­ sage or the budget message which should interpret the President's program into more definite figures. It seems clear, however,, that his program is utterly inconsis­ tent. While expatiating at great length on the wonderful results of a free system in America,, he advocates a program similar to. "labor-socialist g o v e r nme n t of Britain which has destroyed freedom. While talking of econ­ omy and> a balanced budget, it. proposes to open the floodgates of government handout.
