The Farmer’s Corner By RALPH H. TAYLOR Our federal government has disclosed it had more than $135 billion in unspent appropriations on Jan. 31 this year. The congressional committee which gave out the information also estimated we would still have on hand more than $102 billion in unspent money when the present fiscal year ends on June 30. Most of it has been appropriated for either the military ($82.4 billion) or foreign aid ($13.3 billion). The rest is set aside for atomic energy ($4.5 billion), the department of agriculture ($6.7 billion), and government housing agencies ($5.2 billion). In total, these unspent amounts are nearly twice the size of the entire budget for the coming year. Lead Time Representative John Tabor (R. Ill.) earlier this session pointed out we have appropriated enough money to keep the foreign aid program running for the next three years. The military, he says, has enough money for the next two years and the federal relief program is a full year ahead of itself. Since the new administration is scratching its head in an effort to balance the budget and reduce taxes, a cracker-barrel solution to the question seems obvious. For instance, instead of following the recommendation of President Eisenhower (he has asked congress for $5.8 billion more in foreign aid), why not use instead the foreign-ald money already appropriated and scheduled to be given away in 1955? That alone would wipe out the major portion of the estimated $7.5 billion budget deficit now facing us. The rest could come from any of a number of sources. There seems no point in giving these agencies at this time fabulous amounts to spend in the years ahead. Keep them supplied, certainly, with the money needed for current (this year's) operation. But why in the name of the American producer, should we give them years of “lead time” on appropriations? It doesn’t make sense to a layman, and certainly it is conducive to waste. The reasonableness of the argument seems apparent. Elections We are not prepared to say the thought hasn’t occurred to the politicians in Washington. But, being politicians, perhaps they have their eyes on next year’s elections. It could be they intend to use this year to clean up the “mess” left by the outgoing administration and then, come election time in 1954, give us not only a balanced budget but a whopping tax reduction. That would certainly help to retain the present majority in the congress, and enable the administration to complete its program and test its policies. But how about some of it now? Mrs. Ida M.
