Why Carter Went

Recently we wondered in print why
Edward C. Carriers "three-month tour of
Far Eastern war areas" was expedited
when most Americans find it very diff
cult to get into war zones. From Rus
sian War Relief, Inc, of which Mr.. Carter
is president, we are told why he went.
MIR. Carter went to China on invitation
of President Chang Kai-shek and of DR..
Chang Mon-lin, who Mr. Carter says is
president OF Chinas leading university as
well as Of the China Institute of Pacific
Relations and Chinese Red Cross. Mr..
Carter is general secretary of the Insti-
tute OF Pacific Relations in this country.
He went to India by invitation OF Sir A.
Ramaswami Mudaliar, member of the
viceroy's executive council. He went to
Russia as president of Russian War Re
lief, Inc, whose officers wanted to asccr-
tain what happens to supplies they send
to the Soviet.
We feel that the objects of Russian War
Relief are commendable, and approve
heartily of its desire to make sure that
its supplies are used to the best possible
advantage. We would not have our cur
iosity about Mr.. Carriers travels reflect
upon the organization he heads.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-12-30
From Rut To Grave

One Of the virtues Of the average Amer
lean editor is rare alertneSS in detecting
legislative measures that tend to project
government into the affairs of the citizen
at the expense of individual liberty. The
people should heed the widespread edi-
torial criticism of the Wagner-Murray bill,
now before Congress- to drastically in
crease social security taxes and bring the
medical profession under total DONNA
ton of government.
One editor, in commenting on the bill,
declares it ''would destroy the private prac-
tice of medicine in the United States. 1t
would do even more than this-far more.
1t would open road which would lead
straight to monstrollsly expanded FEEDER
al bureaucracy of such power that Amer
lea would inevitably be transformed into
a totalitarian state .
Cranky" concluded this editor, II am
less concerned with the welfare of the
physicians than I am with the tremend-
Gus stride toward the further regimenta-
ton of American life which will be taken
if this bill is passed. Legitimate business
has already been put in rut 1t is pro-
posed to put the medical profession in a
rut. Next, one profession after another
will be put in rut. And the only differ
ence between rut and grave is that the
sides of the grave are slightly higher But
in time the rut will be deep enough"
The press, no less than medicine, is
highly respected profession. If the profess
sions do not remain free, the press cannot
remain free. Once it falls before the
march of officialism, all the people will
end in common grave of serfdom.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-12-30
Voluntary Retirement

This is twice-told tale. 1t happened
once before, so long ago that we cannot
remember the agency concerned. An
other government agency actually is 60
ing out of business of its own volition, re-
leasing it's personnel, closing its offices,
ceasing to exist with the finality of pri-
vate corporation whose work is completed.
The agency concerned is the Steel Re-
covery Corporation. There was time
when it had $40 employees. 1t was ex-
pected that it might expend as much as
$3OO,OO0,O00. Now it's doors are closed, as
of Dec. 81, and it has spent only about
$3,OOO,OOO. What do you think of that?
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-12-30

Of wealth will find such q plan much to
their liking. There Is still plenty Of
wealth In the nation. but its redistribu-
ton is being speedily accomplished in
thousand and one invisible, indefensible
and insidious ways.
eff we want to stop that, then let us at
least try to insist that those who favor
redistribution shall extend it to include
an equitable distribution of the tax load
of the American people Here is some
thing that needs just and equitable re-
distribution, but the new tax bill accom-
pIishes nothing of the sort" The Cham
Der of Commerce and Mr.. Hermann are,
OF course, special pleaders They plead
for retention of the capitalist system, for
preservation of the profit motive, for the
right of man or woman to be rewarded
for energy, initiative, imagination, dar-
ing, the character to save and the cour-
age to invest. They strike responsive
chord
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-12-30
Redistribution Law

Henry H. Hermann, executive manager
of the National Association of Credit
Men, charges fatty that the new tax
bill now before Cangress is redistribu-
ton of-wealth measure He does not say
that it is intended to be such. He volun-
teerS no opinion as to motive He merely
points out its effect. And his interpreted
ton is supported by studies made by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, which appear to show that already
the tax structure has achieved indirectly
and cOvertly what Congress Indignantly
refused to do openly at President ROoSe-
velt's request: 1t has placed less than
$4,000 ceiling upon Individual incomes.
The tax structure, says the chamber, per-
mits slowly rising net income after taxes
until, at 100000 of gross income, the in
dividual is permitted to retain $23,400.
At that point the net income remaining
after taxes begins to decrease again until
the fortunate" recipient of an annual in
come of $5,000,00O actually has to pay
$5,045, $50 in taxes!
The proposed bill continues all the
vicious practices of the existing system,
and adds to their burden. Says Mr.. Hell
mann:
"Qt) continues to place most of the
burden on the middle class, largely liqui-
iateS incentive for business through an
added corporate tax and avoids all refer
srence to general sales tax.
Those who argue for q redistribution
