Utility and railroad share losses
were held to fractions. Coppers
receded small amounts. and the

showed small losses. Foreign

Right to Make q Profit

Philip A. Benson, president Of the
American Bankers Association, recently
observed that one essential Of recovery Is
to encourage private capital to engage
in new ventures and the extension OF
existing industries. Risk capital
flourisheS in an atmosphere Of confidence,
not where hostility exists. It will venture
if there is an expectation of profit and
when its right to seek profit is recog-
nized."
There is not enough general recogni-
ton of the fact that risk" capital, at the
beginning, is usually the only capital
which is willing to take chance on some
venture that may produce great new
employing industry of the future. Ger
tainly that truth is well illustrated in the
immediate past. The automobile, the
radio the telephone, the airplane - they
are all commonplace today, but not many
years ago they were widely regarded as
fantastic dreams. They could not at
tract conservative capital looking for gilt
edge investments. Without risk" capt.
tai which was willing to take a long
chance in the hope of substantial profit
they could never have been developed far
beyond the curiosity stage - and the
millions of jobs, the gigantic wealth, and
the untold opportunities they created
would never have existed.
The legislative trend of recent years
has gone against all the rich experience
of the past We have said, in effect, to
the prospective investor of "risk" capital:
Go ahead and take big chance - if you
lose you can absorb the losses yourself,
and if you win, We'll take most of the
profits in taxes" Is it any wonder that
capital is dormant, that industry at large
is marking time instead of going ahead,
and that few innovations can be seen in
the industrial horizon? When yor drive
risk" capital into hiding, you virtually
make industrial progress impossible.

Little IVA" Not Wanted

Commenting on political proposal to
eStablishsa "little IVA" in New Hamp-
shire, the Carroll County Independent of
Center Ossipee, makes these sound OBJ
servations:
"No one would have any objection to
the government doing this yardStick work
If it would subject itself to the same
handicaps which private companies have
to face when they develop power site
and then sell the current which is gener-
ated there. If the government would pay
the same engineering fees, the same
financing charges, make the same write
offs for depreciation and bad bills and pay
the same taxes that are paid by private
coined But there is every indication that
the government does none OF these
things. -
cit is extremely easy to do business
when using Uncle Sans pocketbook. 1t
is an entirely different matter when
funds have to be raised by selling bonds
and stocks from bank to bank and from
door to door and then trying to keep
bondholders, tax collectors, Public Serv-
ice Commissions, customers and the gen.
eral public satisfied. If the Federal gov
eminent is really interested in helping
out the pocketbook of the debt-loaded
father Of the average family, it might
well consider balancing the budget and
reducing taxes, instead of spending more
money to create more debt, to pay for
another electrical system which is de-
manded by no one except few profess
sional trouble makers and reformers."
Probably nothing gives the taxpayer
less for his money, or the working man
less employment in relation to the gigan-
tic costs involved, than government cleo
trio power projects. The few dollars a

Press Comment
YOU CAN'T DO THAT?
(New Haven Register)

Director Fectner of the Civilian
Conservation Corps and at least one
aid In the CCC administration have
gone to considerable pains In the
past "A hours to dispel notions that
the agency would enlist CCC boy
to be q soldier. It is q civilian in
stitution. A member Of it Is a civil
ian and would remain SO In time OF
war as in time of peace, just as
much as the next man. The corps
would not be indicted into the mill
tary service as a body, under pres
ent law, and only the congress
could designate 1t as a service body.
Such action wound hardly be like
ly, 1t Is true. Discrimination will
not figure in plans Of that type. But
to say positively that under no cir
cumstances would It happen, that
"you can't do that" does not take
much account of the mobilization
and RECOMMENDATION that would likely
develop quicker than you can say
Jack Robinson" II we lost peace.
From what Is known OF such general
plans, nobody would get much fun
out Of another fight.
Mothers Of prospective CCC re-
cruits may take comfort In assur-
ances that such enlistment does not
| put their sons behind a gun, or In
front Of one. But for them and for
all others the truth remains that
the only sure way Of keeping out
Of gun fire Is not so much to steer
clear of B certain service but to see
to 1t that government, made to con-
form by q strong and steady voice
Of the people. steers clear Of mix
ing In somebody else's war over
somebody else's propositions.
