Taft Offers Program
To Put S. Million
To Work After War
By the Associated press.

/ By the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Oct. Ex-senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio yesterday
outlined six-point program which
he said would return 5000, 900 men
and women to work in a country
reorganized for peace.
Senator Taft, seeking reelection
in November. told the Ohio Council
of Retail Merchants his program
would result in resumption of
progress without Socialism"
I'VE have the Job of putting 55,-
000,000 men and women to work, !"
Senator Taft said. Certainly It
cannot be done by any public works
program. Our program must
be to stimulate and encourage
countless individuals to 60 into new
business, enlarge their old business,
develop new products and put men
to work"
Senator's Proposals.
/ He proposed that
Il. The moment the Government
cancels contract, 1t should remove
Government machinery from the
plant or sell 1t to the manufacturer,
remove all unnecessary inventory,
and pay the contractor all that the
Government owes him. This should
supply the capital necessary for re-
conversion and enable every business
to start on peace manufacture at
the earliest possible moment.
20, We should remove at once all
wartime controls regarding prices,
wages and priorities, except that in
few cases where the shortage Is
great these controls might be ex-
tended for not more than II months.
"3. Postwar regulation should be
reduced and confined practically to
the laws covering labor regulations
and requiring fair competition.
Reduction in Taxes.
q. Taxes should be reduced, par
| ticularly on the lower income groups
and on business activity.
IS. The Government must con-
vince the people that it intends
hereafter to pay its way as it goes,
even though the tax burden will re-
main heavier than it was before the
war
"6. Eliminate from the Govern
men any bureaucrats who regard
every businessman as crook, and
put those in who propose to encour-
age small business and big business,
new business and old business to
move ahead with confidence"
