Americas political pendulum
swings periodically from conserva-
tism to liberalism and back again.
Coolidge-Hoover conservatism was
followed by Roosevelt liberalism,
but the return swing to conserva-
tism that started last November 8
is more apt to stop in the middle OF
the road, than to veer violently back
to rock-ribbed Republicanism.
Washington observers, who claim
President Roosevelt has discarded
middle-road New Dealers in favor
of "left-wingers" like Solicitor Gen.

the President must either abandon

If profit-sharing could be extend
ed, most U. S. industrialists believe
employees would be better salts
fed, employment would become less
fluctuant, and our national financial
picture would be improved. In
Washington, senate finance SUBJ
committee investigating the plan
was recently told it would be "an
unbeatable defense of the capital
istic system"
Members of this committee are
Michigan's Sen. Arthur Vandenberg
and Iowa's Sen. Clyde Herring.
Their purpose is to unearth facts
about profit-sharing merits and find
methods of expanding it. The long
range ambition is to make the work
ing man more prosperous and more
able to bear a share of the U. S. tax
load. Thus, by splitting its profits,
industry would help itself by win
ming more equitable division of
tax burden.
But an expansion Of profit-sharing
must come either voluntarily or
through government insistence, and
voluntary adoption of the plan by
industry would be a long, discour-
aging battle of coaxing and educa-
ton. Though neither committee
member yet advocates it, both Sem
ators Vandenberg and Herring have
been feeling out sentiment on an
incentive taxation" plan. Under it
the government would give tax cred
its to profit-sharing concerns, mean
while penalizing non-conforming
firms. Tax credits might be given
on employers social security pay
ments, though the mere mention of
such tampering with social security
has already aroused protest from
administration sources.
Most of the committees wit
nesses have gone on record oppos-
ing the incentive tax" because it
would impose either reward or pen
atty for an employers decision on
a matter which should be entirely
voluntary. Loudest supporter has
been Walter D. Fuller, president of
the Curtis Publishing company, who
wants a more liberal tax treatment
to stimulate unemployment. He
also thinks industrial plant expan-
sion will follow if employers are al
lowed to charge off more on depre-
citation than at present thereby en-
couraging early replacement of pres
ent obsolete equipment.
Labor's opinion has been ex-
pressed by William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, who naturally favors profit
sharing provided it does not tend
to replace collective bargaining.
This issue may be the battle-ground
on which profit-sharing plans rise
or fall, since collective bargaining
is based on compulsion rather than
cooperation. Before adopting the
profit-sharing principle, many indus
trialists would demand that the
threatening club of organized labor
be removed.

Refusal to Alter Constitution
State Will Get No More Money From Federal Government;
Possibilities Of Staggering Burdens Of Taxation
Pointed Out by Hoover and Byrd.
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg, Washington d. G.

WASHINGTON. - The state of
Georgia has provision in its state
constitution that effectively prevents
an accumulation of state debt. It is
one Of the few states having such
a constitutional inhibition of that
kind. But the fact that such pro-
vision exists in Georgia suddenly
has become momentous in the eyes
and minds of the New Dealers,
headed by the President, himself.
Because it is in the news, however,
Mr.. Roosevelt's criticism of the pro-
vision forces a review of the facts
and implications flowing from that
charter provision.
Mr.. Roosevelt said recently while
sojourning at Warm Springs, Ca,
as he does frequently, that Georgia
will get no more federal money.
His particular peeve at Georgia re-
suited from the fact that the state
has not amended its constitution to
permit it to borrow directly from
agencies of the federal government
as most other ststes have done
with federal money flowing like
streams at flood. The President was
Disguised with Georgia's attitude;
hence, the federal government is all
through with giving the state more
money.
Of course, it is only my opinion
the opinion of only one observer
but it nevertheless strikes me that
in years to come, the citizens Of
many states will have cause to re-
greet the absence of such provisions
from their respective state constitu-
tons. It is only a question of time.
Politicians and over-zealous advo-
Gates ~of improvements" and the
like have been rushing to the fed
eral feed trough in droves, carrying
away checks. They have borrowed
billions from the national govern
ment; they have received grants or
gifts of other billions for the coun-
try as a whole on condition that
they put up additional funds to
match or equal the federal gift, and
they, in consequence, now are load
ed down with debt. So, I say there
will be cause for regret that so few
states have the same provision as
Georgia has when the time comes
for payment. There must be taxa
ton if the debts are paid, or there
must be that awful thing, repudia-
ton.

International

One day us years ago, President
James Monroe stuck out his chin
against the "holy alliance" then
threatening the world in general and
South America in particular. His
statement: "We could not view an
interposition for depressing them
(the Spanish-American republics) or
controlling in any other manner
their destiny, by any European pow
err, in any other light than as man.
Hesitation of an unfriendly DISPOSE
ton toward the United States"
In the century that followed, the
U. S. has chung tenaciously to its
Monroe doctrine, sometimes blush
ing guiltily at charges of dollar
diplomacy" in South America. But
in 1888 there has arisen threat far
greater than the holy alliance,
namely, the Fascist-Nazi triun-
virate of Germany, Italy and Japan.
How far these nations have pene-
trated into South America is debata-
BILE, but few observers deny the
threat. Though the triumvirate may
have no territorial ambitions in Pan
America, it is significant that Nazi-
Fascist foreign trade success runs
hand in hand with political success.
Diplomat and commercial salesman
are often one and the same person.
U. S. weapons to fight this ag-
gression are trade agreements, a
Pan-American ''league of nations"
and co-ordinated Western hemi-
sphere defense. To offer these weap-
ons, a u. S. delegation is attending
the eighth Pan-American conference
in Lima, Peru, which opens stra-
logically at a time when American
nations are anxious to air their trou-
bles. Notably included in the U. S.

national government than the way
that has been chosen-through the
use of money. In fact, it seems
rather a sour note in our national
policies to witness almost complete
subjugation of states or lesser areas
by the use of federal money when,
with another hand, the government
through the various propaganda
agencies or by legal action constant
ly threatens to send private persons
or corporations to Jail for seeking
selfish control for private gain. The
only difference that I can see is
that one is purely for monetary
gain in the case Of private action,
while in the governmental situation,
the benefits are political from which
rascals or crooks eventually get
their graft.

sidering the Presidents Warm

course, how Mr.. Roosevelt went into

he said that Senator George was old
fashioned-out dated-almost a one

Must Be Additional
Taxation, or Repatriation

Former President Hoover has had
much to say about the waste that
has been going on, and has coupled
those observations with the POSSIBLE
tiles of staggering burdens of taxa
ton. So has Sen. Harry Byrd, DEM
ocrat, of Virginia. Mr.. Hoover's
criticisms have been laughed off by
the administration here because Mr..
Hoover is a Republican. Senator
Byrd's jibes have been pooh-poohed
because he has insisted on sound
government and has been frequently
anti-New Deal. But Mr.. Hoover and
Senator Byrd each have stressed
little noted phase of potentialities
inherent in the situation. They have
talked about moral codes.
Now, it appears, as I said above,
there must be additional taxation to
meet these loans whether from the
federal government or from private
borrowers) or there must be repudi-
alton. Reputation is simply and
plainly a refusal to pay debt. Re-
fusal to pay an honest debt makes
deadbeats.
In the light of these facts, ! want
to make little prediction. I am
going to predict that there will be
movements in many states within
10 years to have the federal govern
ment relinquish its claims against
those states; to have congress pass
legislation that will say to the states,
in effect, "Just tear up the papers
and we will tear up your notes and
bonds and forget about the whole
thing" Politicians of the unsavory,
demagogic type will leap onto such
a thought and shout from the house.
tops of every community in the state
that the federal government-that
great and rich government-ought
to forego collection. They will have
all kinds of arguments why it ought
to be done, but their real reason
for doing so will be to obtain votes
for their own election to office. They
will be saying to the people that it
will not be reputation if the fed
eral government says it does not
desire to collect; yet, it is my con-
tention that such proceedings will
be thoroughly dishonest. It will be
exactly the same as if the state had
said: I won't pay.

Presid ent's Statement May
Be Cleuer Political Moue

am in no position to know wheth-
er the failure of Georgia to obey the
Roosevelt command entered into the
discourse that has since become an
issue. Nor am I well enough ac-
quainted with New Deal plans to say
whether the President has taken his
first step for 1910 convention dele
gates in this way. It is possible,
obviously, that the Warm Springs
statement may be clever politi-
cal move. Think of it this way: by
starting row, the President posi-
bly, could be laying the groundwork
for uniting the anti-George forces.
If they are united and fighting, it is
Within the realm of possibilities that
they could take the Georgia delega-
ton out of Senator Georges con-
troll in 1910. That would be great
victory for the radical element Of
the Democratic party.
Then, too, the Warm Springs dec
laration may be designed to have an
effect on the forthcoming congress.
I think it goes without saying that
the new congress is going to be
very much different than that which
it supplants. For one thing, there
will be less--very much less-mon-
ey voted for the administration to
use as it sees fit. There will be a
bloody battle before congress again
writes out blank checks for Hopkins
or Harold Ickes to use. It is likely,
indeed, that there will be some rath-
er rigorous investigations Of things
already done under the blank check
appropriations of money. If the in
vestigations are thorough, there will
be stencil rise from the committee
room where the job is done. Thus,
if Mr.. Roosevelt hopes, by the Warm
Springs statement, to awaken
fresh thirst for money among local
politicians throughout the country,
it may be piece of clever politics.
Whatever the purpose of the criti-
cism of the Georgia prohibition
against borrowing, it can not alter
the fundamentals of the situation.
Georgia, as state, is better off. It
will be far better off 10 years from
now when the country has sorted out
the good things of the New Deal and
put them to proper use. Its citizens
will be happier and less burdened
with taxation at time when the
people of Pennsylvania, for exam
pie, are using profane language
about paying for needless and USE
less improvements" - state of
mind they surely will reach as soon
as they have forgotten the mouth
ings of politicians and have begun
to nav through the nose.
