Second. The prime legislative ne
cessity is to proceed as rapidly as pos
sible toward balancing the Federal
budget. Serial promises, on high au-
thority. during recent years, in be-
half of budget balancing have so con-
sistently failed that nothing will suf-
flee to build national assurance until
precept becomes performance. The
private citizen faces bankruptcy when
he lives beyond his means. The only
difference with the Government Is
that the Government can Stave of

its own bonds and virtually forcing
them into its necessarily responsive
banks. But this merely prolongs the

Commission. 1t is a needless drain
upon the resources Of commerce and

dollar which 1t wrings from its VIC
Tins. In the long run it is $47,O00,-
100000 worth of sheer Jeopardy. The
immediate effect Of a realistic change
in the law would be to encourage the
essential belief that the administra-
ton will not persist in error when
error is unmistakably demonstrated.
This would be refreshing phe-
nomenon which the times sadly need.
Mutual Responsibility on Labor.
Fifth. The Wagner Act can be
amended consonant with labors own
best welfare. Labor wants to reduce
work Interruptions to the last mini
mum-because lost pay day is gone
forever. Strikes, in violations of coll
lective bargaining contracts, not only
damage labor's pocketbook; what is
worse, they damage the dignity and
permanence of collective bargaining
as an institution. Intelligent labor
leaders themselves readily accept this
axiom, and constantly strive to con-
strain this hazard.
II the Wagner Act can be amended
to encourage mutual responsibility
and to punish mutual irresponsibility
it will put collective bargaining on
yet more solid ground. This can be
done without any impairment Of Ia
bor's right to organize and bargain
collectively. I would not consciously
impair that right in any degree. La
Dor is entitled to constantly broad
ening share of the fruits .of its own
production-and my personal convic-
ton is that capitalism ultimately sur
wives only on the basis Of direct profit
sharing, encouraged by Federal tax
rewards for such portions of CONNER
cial income as are diverted to this
purpose. But 1t does labor no good to
achieve new benefits II stable

We cannot do it by pulling the other
two-thirds down.
The President stated last Monday
that there has been marked recess
sion in industry; and that this de-
cline lis a matter of national con-
Germ" l agree.
The President also said that the
new recovery depends more upon the
policies of business than upon the
policies of government. I disagree.
The policies of government are re-
sponsible for what has happened, and
only change in the policies of gov
ernment can correct the dangerous
drift. On October %, 1885. at Charles
ton, S. c., the President said
I'VE are on the way back-not by
mere chance We are coming back
more soundly than ever before be-
cause We planned it that way. and

am still saying, as the President said
at Charleston. that policies Of govern
ment are responsible. Therefore, our
immediate obligation Is to examine
into the governmental causes of this
presidentially acknowledged depres-
sion.
First. The chief trouble with busi-
ness today is a jittery state of mind.
1t is fear induced by long series OF
governmental attacks by statutes and
| by epithets-which have aroused class
hatreds heretofore unknown in our
heretofore united country You can
not call harsh names for five years
and expect all to be forgotten because
you suddenly sober and plead for "a
contented society of good will" That's
| what we need-and We need it like
baby needs its mother. But the same
week that this temperate appeal was
made, others, speaking for the ad-
minlstration, were still yelling about
"crusted reactionaries" and business
buccaneers" and pirate privileges"

to stop wondering which is Jacobs
voice" and which are the hands OF
Esau" 1t is time to stop this bitter
ness-not to resume old abuses which
have been properly corrected-but to
acknowledge that 90 per cent OF busi-
ness is honest and patriotic; to con-
fess mistakes in fortnight manner
and to do actually what Secretary Of
the Treasury Morgenthau proposed in
his recent speech when he said:
The basic need today is to foster
the full application of the driving
force of private capital"
Frustrated for Five Years.
This sound objective has been frus-
trated for five years. We have been
trying to do what Walter Lippmann

plus profits tax. Why? Because 1t
kills thrift and prudence in indus
trial management. Because it makes
plant improvement and plant expan-
sion, out Of earnings, impossible. Be-
cause it thus penalties more business
and more jobs. Because it deliberately
defeats the accumulation of reserves
which cushioned the last depression
to the tune of $50, 900 ,000, 900.
AS for tax revenue, you kill OF the
larger revenue which would flow from
these developments. 1t would be far
more stimulating II the Government
were to swing away from punitive
taxation" and proceed with incentive
taxation" - rewarding private capital
with new exemptions when it is social
minded and courageously progressive.
Meantime, II this Congress will amend
or repeal the surplus profits tax and
the capital gains tax, it will make a
far more tangible contribution to new
business confidence than can possibly
be made by all the pious platitudes
which the most eloquent Of lips may
utter.
Full Security Reserve Unnecessary.
Fourth. The Social Security Act
can be amended-to save the needless
burden OF an ultimate $1,000, ,00O, 900
reserve, every penny of which is wrung
from industrial sweat and toll, half of
1t in a direct income tax on labor.
Seventy of the leading life insurance
presidents Of the country join me in
saying that the full reserve" is un-
necessary in a Government pension
system. This change will leave social
security just as solvent. But the
change will permit larger and quicker
benefit payments and still it will post
pone the contemplated increase in pay
roll taxes.
1t will do still more. 1t will DEM
onstrate that the Federal Govern
ment will not consciously go on with
potential fraud upon 10000 900
workers whose payroll taxes are now
actually being used TO help pay the
general operating deficits OF the Gov

this deadlock and to start going con-
