...budget deficit. Through issues of securities and loans, the market generates about $70 billion in credit yearly. The Federal Government expects to borrow a phenomenal amount of that-about $22 billion in the fiscal year ending this June. Unless taxes are increased fairly soon and sharply, the Government will pull $17 billion more out of the capital market in the first six months of 1968 than in the first half of 1967.

But we are not doing enough to win it the way we are doing it now." Calling for "a total national effort to win the war, to win the peace, and to complete the job that...
...frustrated by what he thinks has been a letdown in support from the Administration. The timing of last week's announcement is not likely to mollify him. Not only did it occur at a juncture when the allies are on the defensive, but, coming so early, it may pull the commander's punch. "Why the hell did they announce it now?" asked one high-ranking officer in Saigon. "Do they want to lame-duck his next couple of months...
