Federal Sales Tax

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20. CUP) Henry
]. Kaiser. West Coast ship builder,
last night advocated a national 10
per cent sales tax earmarked solely
for reduction of the federal debt as
a personal sacrifice b" the American
people to eliminate the threat of
increased taxctiCn and expanded
bank credit.
In an address before the 18th
annual sales executives confer
ence of the ST. Louis chamber of
commerce.. Kaiser said the sales
tax was challenging proposal
but would be the fortnight and
courageous way to service the debt
which will be the money price of
victory
He discounted the theory that
such a tax might encourage gov
ernment spending and said that by
earmarking it entirely for liquida-
ton of the federal debt it would
do more than any other one thing to
restore business confidence and
assure postwar employment"

WASHINGTON. Nov 20. (UP)-
Sen. Ralph o. Brewster, r., Me,
reported today he is more convinced
after two months of intensive in
vestigation that the United States
is taking a diplomatic trimming
on preserving oil resources.
Brewster and four other senators
recommended after their world tour
this summer that American re-
serves be safeguarded but he said
recent developments point to an
even greater drain on rapidly
dwindling supplies.
He referred especially to a recent
decision to increase by 100000 BAR
rels the output of Venezuelan oil
fields. 80 per cent American-owned,
and the collapse of negotiations for
government participation in expan-
sion of Persian Gulf refinery ca

Sforza in Favor
Of Italian Regency

NAPLES, Nov. 20. (UP) - Count
Carlo Sforza, head of strong Ital-
ian liberal element, said today that
he still favors an Italian regency
under the SIX year old prince of
Naples as the best reconstruction
government for the Mediterranean
nation.
Sforza, former Italian foreign
minister who recently returned
from self imposed exile in the
United States, unqualifiedly dis
missed srch other proposals as a
regency under the Princess of Pied

reconstruction was the lack of
constructive program for financing
peace.
Perhaps the greatest illusion VIC
have suffered the modern world
is the theory that governments can
finance anything and everything
needful," he explained. I'VE have
forgotten that governments have no
money that every time the
government finances any individual
or enterprise it does so out of taxa
ton and borrowing"
AS a result, Kaiser suggested Gre
alton of a vast credit pool to fin
ance business reconversion and ex-
pansion after the war. The problem
is SO great, he explained, that 1t
may have to be a joint venture by
banking, life insurance, govern
ment, industry and also possibly
labor.
HAVE ADVAi 'rAG
"A private credit pool would have
the immense advantage of assem-
bling the existing financial re-
sources OF the nation and utilizing
them to the full" he said. "A 100
per cent government financing pro-
gram would create the illusion of
new financial resources, the result
of which would be to dilute exist
ing wealth and ultimately to weak
Ell the value of our money and
credit instruments"
Kaiser also suggested that every
American fighting man be given an
opportunity to say what he thinks
of postwar plans, such as educa-
ton, bonuses, rehabilitation pay.
pensions and similar proposals.
He said the government reaches
the soldier at least once a month
with his pay so why not send each
man in the fighting services a
simple questionnaire" and "let him
say what he wants to do, and where
he wants to live, what his plans
are" "

WITHOUT AUTHORITY

The resolution said further that
the board of directors was advised
by legal counsel that it is without
authority to enter into any contract
such as was asked of them by the
electrical union, representatives of
which asked that the board name
the union as the sole bargaining
agent.
To do so, the resolution said
would be a delegation of the pow
ers of state agency to a labor
union and that it would be an
illegal act" Still further in their
resolution the supervisors said Ito
permit any union or any other
agency to substitute its will for the
will of the duly elected board of
directors would soon result in
anarchy and the laying down of all
law and order, and the eventual de-
struction of our democratic form of
government. that if it can be done
in this case it can also be done with
other public forces such as our fire
and water departments our postal
service, and other vital govern
mental departments"
