effective subsidy program so necessary to

Their special targets Of attacks have
been such agencies as the owl. the

But useful as such activities may be,
they are far from sufficient for graphing
with a matter of basic Importance to the
entire nation and affecting every aspect OF
It's existence. Only the federal govern
ment can act for the nation as whole and

In rebuilding its economy on a peace

achievement of positive goals which our
productive resources now make possible.
These should include:
!. Peace-time jobs rs soon as possible

mer war workers.
2. Production Of adequate supplies need

cent levels Of living.
3. Improved facilities for education,

transportation and so forth.
I. An income for everyone, including
the unemployed, adequate for health
and happiness
S. Full, stable and efficient production
and employment. with prevention Of
both imitation and business depres-
sions.
6. Participation by all Americans In p0-
litical and economic decisions that af-
feet their welfare.

give all peoples everywhere n chance

ocratic institutions and to live ut

which hamper our domestic war
effort would be ironed out in their

THE recent Wallace Jones feud

Treasury Officials
Reaffirm Opposition
To Retail Sales Tax
By the Associated Press.


Treasury officials say national
retail sales tax is not being 'consid-
cred as a part of any proposals the
administration may make to Con-
gress for raising additional billions
of wartime revenue,
The officials insisted the DEPART
ment's stand in opposition to such
a levy had NOT changed.
The Treasury's reassertien of its
position came Yesterday after Re-
preventative Gearhart, Republican,
Of California said he expected the
Treasury to propose In September
10 per cent Federal retail sales
tax and compulsory joint income tax
returns for married couples. Mr..
Gearhart said ne would oppose any
movement toward a sales tax or
compulsory joint returns.
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee, just
before Congress recessed, said he
would support sales tax "only as
last resort"
Treasury officials did not disclose
Yesterday what position they might
take on proposition of compulsory
joint returns for married couples,
which would bring in more revenue
Mr.. Gearhart said he never be-
lieved the Treasury was opposed
finally and unalterablyp to the
sales tax. He predicted that in ad-
dition to this means of raising rev.
enue the Treasury would ask for
increased income taxes for lower
bracket taxpayers. special exciSes on
liquor and tobacco, super 100 per
cent "confiscatory" levy on all in
comes over $25,000 after taxes and
new taxes on travel.
Treasury and congressional tax
experts already have been instructed
by the Ways and Means Committee
TO explore the feasibility of applying
the excise -profits tax principle to
individual incomes.
Under such a tax, as now used
against corporations, individuals
with war-swollen incomes would pay
larger share OF the wars costs.

will meet on September to start
the machinery rolling toward new
and higher taxes.
