shouldn't all savings he
forced into established business
a. needed. or be cOnfiscated II
not needed 80
Answer: This question from
California throws light on the
current hostile attitude toward
savings. referred 10 above The
JapS want 10 seize American
savings. A good many Com
muniStS and non-SavcrS in our
own country feel somewhat the
same. es
But such a procedure would
cause savings to disappear IN
the future.
Savings are hardly worth
while When they are penallzed
and seized as fast as made.
After all, saving has 10 be done
by individuals The govern
ment" has no income Of lis own
10 save. Therefore. unless in
dividualS are encouraged 10
save. there can be no voluntary
saving. Then capital will be re-
duced, production decline, and
low standards OF living prevail.
OF course, the answer, IS sug-
geSted by your reference 10
"conflScation.' What could hap
pen is that "the government
dictatorship could force its
citizens 10 save. II could COM
pei them 70 sacrifice and forego
the qualification Of their wants.
1t could coerce them TO work at
building plant and equipment
for the future, while having
little 10 consume now. Is this
what you want?

OF the proposals 10 TAX corpora
tion profits above a certain per-
ccntagc on invested Capital?'
AnSweT-The fundamental in
justice and futllity OF such pro-
poSals Is clear, because profits
do not come from capital.
Profits come from enterprise,
which is the ability that good
businessmen have 10 direct the
buying and selling operations Of
a business so that II Will show
net earnings.
Enterprises have 10 earn
profits by organizing and direct

Businesses differ widely IN The

Transport Priorities
May Be Necessary,
Rogers Declares
|. 6. G. Member Sees
Possibility Of EorIy
Federal Action
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 12.-John L.
Rogers, an interstate commerce
commissioner and director Of the
Motor Transport Division Of the
ONCE of Defense Transportation,
predicted today that priorities would
have to be established shortly for
the motor transport industry unless
the trafflc could be moved with ex-
isting vehicles.
Mr.. Rogers came here as q men,
Der of a group Of o. D. T. and ONCE
of Price Administration oticials
conducting travelling presentation
Of the motor transport problem as
it affected bus and truck operators,
tire dealers and others interested in
commercial transportation
Another in the travelling group,
which will visit the chief cities of
the United States from coast to
coast, was DR.. c. F. Phillips, acting
chief of the Tire Rationing Division
Of the 0. P. A.
Rogers said he also expected the
elimination within a short time Of
sightseeing buses and vehicles used
for trips to amusement centers.
He added that because of the
shortage Of materials no new trucks
or buses could be produced for the
duration for civilian transport use.
Approximately 100000 trucks
and $4,000 buses were in use in this
country last year, Rogers declared,
and added 1t was now necessary to
conserve these.
Rogers was asked how the elm
mation Of certain motor services
would affect State governments
which derived considerable revenue
from truck and bus lines through
taxation. He replied that "it un-
doubtedly will decrease revenue for
State governments. but this can't be
helped in time Of war"
DR.. Phillips explained that there
were between 100000 and 5000, 900
tires in the hands of dealers and
manufacturers now and that in all
likelihood these would have to suf-
fee for civilian operations until the
end of the war.
Il can see no relief for the pri-
vate car operator from other rub
Der programs such as synthetic
production for at least three years"
he said. We'll probably get few
thousand tons Of rubber from Bra
zil this year The growing of qua
yule rubber is being held up by the
lack of seed and full production
from this source is at least three
or four years away"

Ingenuity Show
Uncovers New

NEW YORK, May 12.-American
research laboratories are busy over
coming raw material shortages
brought on by the war.
More than 100 companies engaged
in making things that people wear
and use put on an ingenuity show"
at which some of the things already
developed were displayed. They in
cluded:
A new cloth which looks like wool
but is made Of soybeAns, victory"
electric fan with blades of hard fiber
instead of aluminium, cord wire of
silver instead of copper and q new
sun lamp bulb which requires no
metal stand or reflector because 1t
has its own reflector inside and can
be screwed into any lamp socket.
Glass, wood and plastics loomed
large in all displays as substitutes
for three essential war materials
