Ins+alment Buying
Restriction Aimed
To Aid Defense Goal
BY b. G. FORBES

Curtailment of our accustomed
freedom naturally inks.
Especially is our first impulse
10 resent being officially told
what we can and cannot do with
our own money.
But President Roosevelt hav-
ing declared that this nation has
been drawn into IAN unlimited
emergency" we must reconcile
ourselves 10 many restrictive
rules and regulations, m any
thou shalt nots."
The one plan thus far which
has affected m ost individuals
and families is that applying to
instalment buying
Since some S10,000.000,000 OF
il is on the books of manufac-
turers, merchants, etc, obviously
the number of instalment buyers
is enormous. Anything calcu-
lated 10 blitzkrieg this business
would inevitably precipitate
widespread manufacturing and
distributing disfocation, depres-
sion. disaster. cause appalling
unemployment.
The steps formulated TO regu-
late this important field OF busi-
ness, while doubtless obnoxious
10 any buyers and sellers,
should be accepted, under exist
ing abnormal conditions, as rea-
Sonable. Indeed, the ultimate
effects promise to be wholesome.
Briefly, the period for COM
plotting instalment payments on
future orders has been reduced
10 Is months and down pay
ments have been substantially
increased.
For example: On all purchases
of new or used) automobiles
which account. for almost half
Of all inStalment buying gone
third OF the full purchase price
must be Immediately paid.
Hereafter. 20 per cent must
be handed over on purchases Of
such household appliances as re-
frigerators, washing machines.
vacuum cleaners, radios. and Is
per cent on oil burners, fur
nsces, air-conditioning and the
like.

Objective Sound

The aVoWed chief objective is
10 reduce demand for products
calling for raw materials enter
ing into our gigantic defense
program.
Thoroughly sound.
Another Washington objective
Il TO induce millions of persons
and families of modest means TO
cut down their expenditures in
order 10 invest in defense saw
ings certificates and other gov
eminent securities, so as 10 help
10 pay for our stupendous war
spending.
Also thoroughly sound.
But utterly unSound Is the
governments refusal 10 heed the
plea of the head of the federal
treasury. Secretary Morgenthau,
that Washington's extravagant
non defense expenditures be
slashed 81 600. 100000
In urging all the rest OF us TO
exercise frugality. the attitude
Of the government itself is:
Don't do as L do, but do as I
tell you 10 do
Also unsound Is the political
cowardice which is inducing
Congress TO refuse TO call upon
millions and millions of workers
and others benefiting from our
multi-billion-dollar defense dis
bursements to pay one penny of
income tax.
Ponder these facts: Less than
one-tenth of all income taxes
have been collected from income
below $1,000. Nine of every 10
income recipients have not been
required TO pay any federal in
come tax.
The rich have been soaked and
soaked. Corporations are being
compelled TO pay through the
nose. often leaving injuriously
little for wages on the capital
supplied by thrifty, self-denying
small investors.
