Truman Calls Tafts Smaller Army Plan an Invitation to War
President Truman blasted Senator Tafts proposal to cut the armed forces by 500000 as an invitation to war. He warned cuts would invite disaster amid real dangers of war with Russia and urged citizens to press for higher taxes and stronger price rent and wage controls to extend existing measures. He avoided naming Taft but tied the critique to the burden of defense costs and lobbies.
