Show ii i. i. i. . WHAT IS SECURITY? According to Senator Byrd, government expenditures for purely domestic purposes have increased 77 per cent since 19-18. "With n war on our hands," he said, "some of these outlays out-lays must be cut unless we are going to spend ourselves into the kind of bankruptcy the Russians are counting on." It has long been Soviet doctrine that capitalism-- especially es-pecially in the United States-- would collapse from in net-weaknesses) net-weaknesses) and that then communism would take over the world with a minimum of difficulty. And the surest way to bring that situation about is to throw our billions away at home on phony welfare schemes and socialistic programs while we are trying to bolster the whole anti-Soviet world in stemming communist military aggression. "Security" has become one of the great catch words, and it is time we analyzed it. Ileal security for this nation must be based on hard work and rigorous economy at home, in order to provide the money and the energies we must use abroad. There can be no security in any bankrupt government, govern-ment, as has been clearly demonstrated. |
