existence taxes, together with the
rapidly rising cost Of living are max
ing in increasingly difficult to main
tain even present standards.
"On the other side of the picture
we see that American industry is ex-
panding on vast scale and is reap
ing huge profits from the defense pro-
gram. We believe that industry is
entitled to a fair profit, but there is
absolutely no justification for the Gre
alton of single new defense million
naire. Congress should revise the
structure Of corporate taxes accord
ingly.
Furthermore, there is need for
even wider expansion Of industry, not
only for defense production but for
civilian needs. Unless this is done,
serious shortages will be created in
vital products needed in our every day
life.
"We believe that the expansion OF
our modern production system, with
the construction of thousands Of new
| factories and the creation of many
new industries, will provide a fertile
source of additional revenue.
"These fields and others should be
thoroughly explored before Congress
attempts to resort to heavier con
sumer taxes. The main burden o
taxation is on the wage Garner al
ready. 1t would be economic fully t.

The present shop at Twelfth Street

low it must be one of three as fol-
lows:
First: 1t can abolish all tariffs and
institute so-called system of Free
Trade, such as our friend, the soda
pop king, recommends, irrespective of
what may happen to our wage scales,
our employment situation, and our
standards of living.
Second: 1t can assume semi-in-
dependent attitude and carry on for
eign trade policy which would be very
close to the now defunct Reciprocal
Trade Treaty program, which was her
aided as great harbinger of world
peace via world trade.
Third: 1t could institute wellde-
| fined program of self f-containment, re-
fusng to allow any great quantities
of unnecessary imports that compete
with and displace the very things we
make ourselves.
Now | am going to show you a
chart which contains picture of the
wage rates and Standards Of living of
4 the leading nations of the world.
call it my economic ladder. You see,
Uncle Sam is placed at the top of this
ladder with a percentage or ratio OF
100. That means we have the high
est wage rates iff the world, the high
est standard of living, the greatest
number of automobiles, telephones, Ii.
braries and many other items that &c
to make for happy contented living
You note that Japan is at the bot
tom of the ladder If we take the re
port of the League of Nations Of three
: years ago, we 1k14f find that Japan i
at the top Of the list of the leadin,
nations of the world in world recov

figures were compiled, so when Japa1

The chart that / am now going t

n Then, another important factor

n buying power of our country. Tn
buying power is created and sustain
: ed by the wages paid to workers
r every commercial, industrial, profe
d sional, agricultural and scientific el
e deaVor throughout the nation.
e In short, the buying power of nj
S ton depends upon the amount I

The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1941-06-05

capital invested, or services rendered.
Our buying power is also reflected in
our ability to pay decent wages. For
instance, ONE DOLLAR is paid per
hour to certain workers in the U. S.
Pottery Industry. That same dollar
will BUY fourteen hours labor in the
Japanese Pottery Industry in the same
class of work.
1t is this DISPLACEMENT Of
AMERICAN MAN HOURS OF LA
BOR by the cheaply manufactured
foreign products-not alone of Japan,
but from all parts of the world-that
plays havoc with our national eco
nomic life.
Now what is selling power? This
is the ability to sell at prices that are
lower than all other competitors; yes,
even without sacrifice of quality Of
the products involved. The United
States with it's high standards of liv-
ing, higher costs of production and
higher wage rates has many instances
wherein it successfully competes with
nations with lower wage rates and
lower living standards because Of
highly mechanized equipment, mass
production and the use of scientific
methods of manufacture. The Amer
lean automobile industry is an out
standing example. 1t does not need
any tariff protection, but industries il
this class are limited.
Low wages, low standards of living
and low production costs create anC
sustain high selling power and ma
tions unable to compete must protec
themselves in their home tariffs. Th'
United States is in his class, for any
thing that displaces and competes will
: that which we produce OURSELVES
curtails employment, and the inciden

Jobs Hit 1929 Peak:
37.50O.O00 Now At Work

Washington, d. C.-Preliminary es-
Inmates by Government experts indi-
Gated that, due to the national de-
fense program, there now are more
than 37,5O0,OO0 wage earners at work
in non-agricutural pursuits. This
number exceeds the 1929 peak and
reaches the highest levels in United
States history.
This total compares with the boom
figure of 37,470,000 in September,
1929, and the depression low of 26,-
3Sl 900 during March, 1893, but does
not include Army and Navy person
mel, workers on WPA and National
Youth projects or men in the Civilian
Conservation Corps.
I'm addition to the millions in non
agricultural employment, it is esti-
mated that almost 10000, 900 men and
women are engaged in agriculture.
