Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 6, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news partly Cloudy Section one t 2 sections vol 92, no. 262mt. Pleasant Iowa Friday evening november 6, 1970 Price to cents Days i consider addition to threshers building by John Chamberlain the coming fight Oyer National defense we did no to hear much during the autumn political campaigning about the military Industrial Complex nobody seemed to want to make it an Issue. The left which had been talking about a a reordering our priorities in Hopes of giving less to the Pentagon and More to the Central cities apparently did not wish to be pushed into a pacifist Corner at a time when the soviets were proving intractable in the Middle East and threatening to go through with that nuclear submarine base in Cuba. And the Nixon administration satisfied with the Issue of Domestic Law and order saw no reason to disturb the one dimensional Impact of its rhetoric by bringing up vision of huge expenditures for armaments. Now that the elections Are Over however the Issue of National defense will surely become the number one preoccupation of the White House. For the fact is that despite the speeches of new York mayor John Lindsay and others of the extreme Urban we Farist lobby we began to starve the military Industrial Complex a Long time ago in favor of giving first order priority to the social budget. Too with National defense expenditures jumping from $47 billion in 1952 to $73 billion for fiscal 1971, does this seem an idiotic statement economist John Kenneth Galbraith and americans for democratic action National chairman Joe Duffey might say so. But Stanford University a Roger Freeman whose Brilliant brain has been missed in the White House Ever since his decision to return to academic life Points out that while defense costs doubled in 20 years they barely kept a head of the Rise in prices. Meanwhile our Federal budget for education health and welfare has jumped from $5 billion in 1952 to $73 billion for 1972. Where the military budget has risen by 57 percent the we Farist budget has soared by 1,142 pier cent our other Domestic services have gone up by 219 percent. The military which took 13 percent of the Gross National product in 1952, now soaks up seven percent. Federal spending for health education and welfare has achieved parity with it. When the separate spending of the states and local communities for Domestic services is included it is obvious As Roger Freeman says that a the shift in National priorities which some political and academic groups have been demanding for year a from the warfare state to the welfare state has taken in Short mayor Lindsay Ken Galbraith and Joe Duffey have already won. Just what this will get us is dependent on the Good nature of the communists. But we had better not count on miracles. As mrs. Freeman says every time we go in for unilateral disarmament the soviets reply by triggering aggressive action at some Point on the Globe. We Cut our defense outlays from $80 billion in 1945 to $12 billion in Rotten dollars in 1948. The result was Korea which forced our military budget to $50 billion. Too we now spend a lot on operations in Vietnam which depletes the rest of the defense establishment. This says or. Freeman a leaves us with a Wiss cheese and As the holes in the Swiss cheese have been growing bigger the propaganda of the left has zeroed in on the solid remainder of the cheese. Of we listen to the critics of the military Industrial Complex i our next Congress we will Only be inviting the next Korea the next Vietnam or the next cuban missile confrontation. Unless something comes of the Salt disarmament negotiations with the soviets we will indeed have to a reorder our they will have to be reordered away from the present ascending arc for welf arism to such things As the Mbt-70 Battle tank the Amsa advanced manned strategic aircraft and More nuclear submarines to say nothing of the anti ballistic missile and the c-5a cargo plane. There was no argument during the fall election Campaign about priorities but the White House is preparing for the argument now. Incidentally it had better ask Roger Freeman to return from Stanford to Washington for another stint. Pat Moynihan wont be enough. Distributed by King features Syndicate.
