Great oaks from little acorns grow.

acorns on the market.
Evening star., 1942-05-03
By OLIVER MCKEE.


Under the stimulus of war spend
ing. national income this year. ac-
cording to estimates OF Government
experts, will exceed $4,000, 900 900,
the highest in our history, and
nearly $4,000 900, 900 greater than
In 1941.
As a means Of building up a reser-
voir of postwar buying power, and
adding to the country's savings, ad-
ministration officials are urging the
American people to devote part Of
their increased earnings to the re-
tirement of private debt.
Supporters Of the proposal to
grant income tax credits or exemp-
tions for payment of life insurance
premiums point out that insurance
is not only a safeguard to benefi-
ciaries against Indebtedness, but
gives its holders, through their &C
cumulated savings, financial reserves
that can be used. in emergencies,
to prevent the necessity for borrow
ing.
HhhSSS VI SuA
A curtailment of existing protec-
ton. and a large scale surrender of
policies, because of higher Federal
taxes, would thus tend to increase
private Indebtedness at time when
the Government, as part of its pro-
gram to combat imitation, is seek
ing a substantial reduction.
In many instances, beneficiaries
use part Of the proceeds of life in
surance policies to pay of mort
cages on the family home or farm.
In addition to providing a family
with funds to carry on after the
death of its breadwinner, insurance
helps defray funeral and other
expenses
Including long-term corporate
Indebtedness, the net private debt
of the United States, in 1941. is esti-
mated at approximately sl20,000,-
100000. Urban real estate mort
cages accounted for S28, 100 900 900
of this total, and farm mortgages
for s6,900,000,0 900.
Consumer Indebtedness, repre-
sented mainly by installment and
cash loans, amounted to little less
than $4,000, 100000 at the end of
194l. Under the curbs recently
placed by the Federal Government
on installment buying, the volume
Of consumer credit outstanding is
rapidly declining and by the end
of 1912 a large part of existing
loans will be retired. Restrictions
on the sale of scarce durable goods
and installment buying curbs are
expected to keep new consumer
commitments to comparatively
low level.
Retirement OF private indebted
ness. now a major administration
policy, has two principal objectives.
First to provide reserve of pur-
chasing power that can be quickly
released, after the war, to assure

When the war ends, the American
people will be enjoying a hugh ma
tional income. Supply of available
goods, however, will be small. The
postwar problem. therefore. may be
summarized as follows: How can
civilian output be rapidly increased
so as to maintain the high level of
national income. and war expendi-
lures, now equivalent to half the
national income, be reduced?
In the opinion of Government
economists who are studying post
war economic problems, three fac
tors should assure wide outlets for
industrial products after the war.
These are. first, the high money
incomes of the American people;
second. retirement of consumer
debt, which will clear the decks for
the renewal of installment buying
on large scale, and third, the
accumulation by millions of citi-
zens of War and other Government
bonds.

1t is possible that construction

In addition to the Arlington and

Negotiations on Site Go On.
From the District Building yes

project at the parking lot site might
be abandoned for the time being at
least. Commissioner Reynolds, how
ever, said negotiations with the
Commissioners for use of the site
were continuing. The residence hall
for women on that site would be
smaller than the ones in Maryland
and Virginia. 1t would house about
$50 girls.

Big Inhationary Gap Seen.
Government economists seem to
be in substantial agreement that the
so-called 'inf1ationary gap" in 1912
will be large. Many of them believe
that voluntary saving. In itself, will
not be sufficient to curb consumer
spending. Other measures. such as
compulsory saving, may thus be ne
cessary TO secure complete closing
OF the inflationary gap.
Advocates Of tax incentive for in

including life insurance, in the fight
against imitation. There Is clearly
need, in their opinion, not only
to encourage policyholders to main
tain existing protection, but to offer
incentives to war workers with
greatly increased incomes to invest
part Of their earnings in insurance,
as well as War bonds.
Even with the proposed higher
levies, Federal income taxes will
reach only part of the national in

creased purchasing power of the
country is in the hands of persons
not yet subject to Federal income
taxes. BY allowing credits, in
reasonable amounts for premium

is contended, would be encouraged
TO place part of their savings in
insurance, thus increasing their

Beer License Application

Opposition to an application for
Glass D beer and light wine license
for the Georgetown Road Grill, Inc,
7546 Old Georgetown road, Bethesda,
Md, was voiced by representatives
of the Bethesda Volunteer Fire De-

Board.
Henry Brown, treasurer Of the

of the applicants. He was supported
in his petition by Attorneys Vivian
Simpson and Joseph Simpson.
Those opposing the issuance OF the
license contended that because OF
its nearness to the fire department,
the place would cause a traffic
hazard on the heavily travelled road
and that it would lessen the value
of residential property in the area
The application was taken under
advisement.
