WHAT #IIi WE sAvEs

In a recent address before the
American Taxpayers Association,
Fred /. Kent, former vice-president
Of the Bankers Trust Company.
made one of the finest discussions
OF the tax problem In relation TO
national defense that has yet ap-
peafed.
At the beginning Of his talk, Mr..
Kent made this significant obser-
vatiDn: "If we choose to fight to
prevent an aggressor from over
running our country, what is it
that we wish to save? It is our
freedom, our method Of Lying, our
institutions that make such man
ner of living possible, our right to
carry, on. under private enterprise.
freedom of speech, freedom OF wor-
ship and protection of our rights
as opposed to those who would null
lify them. Why should any coun-
try, then, the United States in par
ticular, deliberately tear down its
own institutions and its own free
dom in life when its only purpose
in fighting would be to protect
itself from having to undergo Just
such disintegration?"
The obvious danger in our great
defense program is that we shall so
burden our industries and our in
diVidHals with taxation that we
will not be able to carry on under
the free enterprise system. It is
that danger which must be faced
now. Mr.. Kent has therefore
drawn up a number of specific
suggestions concerning tax policy
Milford chronicle., 1941-06-20

which he believes must be followed
If our way Of life is to be pre-
served.
First, government must reduce
all non-defense spending to mimi
mum.
Second, government should OBJ
tain needed funds through loans
and taxes, and not through con-
scription.
Third, taxes should not exceed
the maximum that can be paid
without disorganizing our ecohom-
ic structure. Individuals must have
enough left after taxation to live,
to save and to invest. Industry
must have enough left to protect
its capital structures, to- expand,
and to pay justifiable dividends.
Fourth, government should bor-
row from the people. not from the
banks, as a guard against imitation.
This will also enable the banks to
do a better job in financing the
building and expansion Of neces-
sary war industries.
