NYE WAR BILL
is COMMUNISM,
SAYS JOHNSON
Threatens to Wreck Ma
tons institutions, Gen.
eraI Declares.
BY HUGH $. JOHNSON

WASHINGTON. April lO-There
IS going TO be ruction in this Con
gress over taking the profits out
Of war" Three respectable points o.
view are up.
Senator Gerald P. Nye thinks that
means when var comes, abolish the
profit system IN the United States.
CONGRESSMAN John J. McSwain
saws IL means forbid any price in
crease not permitted by the Pres
ident, take all profits and income
traceable 20 war, and tax everything
else to the point OF diminishing re-
turns"
Walter Lippmann sees no great
difference between the two plans.
But he saws the effect OF either Will
be to convert our whole economic
system into a war machine. He fears
that this could easily be control!ed
bv the war party and that the net
result nav be more and easier ana
bigger and better wars.
War of Economic Systems
The country would do well TO take
this issue as something more than
tempest in a teapot.
Mr.. Lppmann is right in this
thought that an effective plan for
industrial and man-power mooih-
zation would convert this country
into the most powerful engine OF
destruction the world has ever seen.
Modern war is a death grapple OF
economic systems rather than OF
armies only. The most powerful OF
such systems. when made ready Tor
var use, will be the most deadly.
But he is dead wrong # he thinks
Senator Nye's plan does that. IL
does the reverse Of that. The gaso-
line that runs our industrial motor
is profit. The motor was built that
wav. It may start on ballyhoo but 1t
won't run on ballyhoo.
Principles of Communism
Everybody IS agreed that we must
find a way to prevent war inf1a-
ton and to cut out profits due 10
war. But when you 90 further ana
say that. when ever war comes. you
are going to abandon the profit
system and adopt the principles OF
Communism with the enemy at our
gates. you simply propose to XIII
our ONLY engine of defense.
Mr.. Lippmann was also wrong IN
heading his article yesterday The
Militarism of Senator Nye." 1t
should have read, The Communism
of Senator Nye."
The McSWain bill does what Mr..
Lippmann fears. The Nye plan
does not. It does something much
worse. It threatens the wreck OF
most Of our institutions.
Another War Is Near
Europe is sleping restlessly on the
edge of another war If 1t rolls IN,
we may see destruction there of all
existing social. economic, political
and even religious systems. But why
suffer that destruction here?
The man who proposed the Nye
"plan" wrote in the April issue OF
Common Sense urging that all dis
contented groups be rallied:
The crisis may come this year.
1t may be postponed-but 1t is as
certain as that the sun will rise
tomorrow. The way to bring to an
end. swiftly and Overwhelmingly, the
now badly shaken confidence OF the
people in Roosevelt is to prepare at
once a plan which can be offered
to them"
What Senator Nye proposes seems
to be part Of that plan to rally
radicals, bring collapse and ruin
Roosevelt.
