FIVE MAJOR PROBLEMS

His address was equally inn
presSive. =
Pleading for new leadership
from American business men,
Johnston warned that there were
five major problems which had TO
be solved if the nation were TO
continue as a great democracy.
He listed them as follows:
Taxes. These. he said,
must be revised and SiTnptified-
so as 10 stimulate the use Of
risk capital in the postwar Pc
Rod We cannot long exist I'M
less the entire tax structure is
revised, he said.
2-Labor relations. Every
other phase of business has
changed in the last 20 years. he
reminded his listeners. Men
who would laugh AZ the idea of
competing in present-day mar
kets with tools, machines and
production methods of 20 years
ago would like TO deal with
labor on the basis of 40 years
ago. he warned.
