One Sensible Report

BURIED in myriad of misty words advocating greater
- governmental interference with the economic life of
citizens there is sensible tax proposal in the postwar
planning report of the national planning board
which President Roosevelt has submitted to Congress-
The board has proposed that the tax laws be revised
that corporations will be encouraged to accumulate
out of current earnings The board intends that
such be used to reconvert plants back to
their former civilian uses.
The board recommended
Immediate provision i'm federal tax Jaws for estab-
Hshment of postwar conversion reserve limited to
within short period after termination of contracts"
THE building up of should be encouraged but
the boards precise stipulation to the timing and
the of employment of the funds should be ignored
Such matters should lie within the discretion of the
responsible managing directors of individual companies,
and should not be placed in the hands of Washington
bureaucrats
Unless the tax laws promptly revised to encourage
the building of corporate savings and for post
contingencies government will be in the position
of unwtingly planning for postwar depression and
employment.
1t is essential to keep employers strong that they
will be in position to reabsorb soldiers mustered out of the
army and workers released from plants after the
armstice
No insensate, demagogic and emotional campaign
against profits should be permitted to strip American
companies of their reserves thus incapacatng them at
time when they will be needed the basic faci
ties which all depend in peace time for rising
standard Of living.

4 MOTHER dangerous war bot
-tlcnock- iS-the talk about
fourth term for PresId en-
Roosevelt.
A cabal is even said 10 he al
work in Washington 10 push the
President for the job.
If the President indicates that
he wants 10 run again II will
introduce a poisonous political
struggle into our war effort.
But If Mr.. Roosevelt is norni-
mated again, l haven't the
slightest doubt that he Will
accept.
He naturally wants 10 finish
the business he began. But
would the country re-eleCt him?
That's a $3.50 question.
We Americans are so deeply
grounded in what We call our
constitutional form of govern
ment that we really do not care
who becomes President. although
we shout at each other during
the campaign that the country
is going to the bowwOwS if So
and-So is elected.
A more vital question. how
ever, is posed for the American
people now and for several years

Is the II. $. a. TO remain an
individualiStic. free democracy

any other person in Washington
because in him | find incarnated
all the "Globaloney" befuddle-

Then again, I get a great
kick out of watching how he
