.,st rihuted nv the United Press

The American people believe IN
a life OF enterprise and expansion
by individual initiative. But all the
talk today of a return to free
enterprise and private initiative IS
merely an expression Of feeling; not
a solution of problems. We are not
going TO return to anything. We
must never go backward We must
press on-on to the Gays OF de-
mobilization and the complex eco
nomic problems they Will bring.
The profound nature OF the
changes we must face is evident in
the trend Of affairs in Europe. Rus
STA. with whom we are destined to
have progressively closer economic
relations. is a rompletely state
controlled economy. The aftermath
OF war will see a tremendous rise
in western Europe Of state owner
ship of resources and industries,
what we call state socialism. The
problem is well illustrated in the
question of what IS to become OF
the big industries OF France, which
the Germans have taken from their
former private owners. 1t is likely
that large portion Of this French
production Will become state owned.
TREND IN BRITAIN
The trend in Great Britain Is
becoming increasingly clear. Lord
Woolton has just rendered an Off
cial report for the British conserva-
tive party which would take Great
Britain far along the path of gov
ernment control of industry.
We are facing the same situa-
ton here in the United States. And
the full employment which has beer
created by war will make the de-
mand for protection against post
war unemployment increasingly in
sistent. Already, looking to tht
future, men are asking: Must WI
have war to have jobs?
There is no doubt that the pres
sure of state-controlled economies il
all of the countries with which W,
must trade and live will in multi
pie. intricate and subtle ways lnev
itably affect our own society. Blu
because of our youth as a nation
our great geographical area, ou
natural resources, together with tn
enormous potency Of our belief i
the possibilities OF the individual
our answer to the problems of de
mobilization will not be the com
piete controls of Russia or evel
the elaborate controls s-cgestet

REDUCES COST

After deducting the revenue from
the by-products, it materially re-
duceS the cost of your power al
cohol, which can be readily sold in
the industrial alcohol field and can
be used for synthetic rubber of fuel
in high octane gasoline.
The consumption of gasoline for
the year preceding the war was
25,000,000,000 gallons, so if 10 per
cent of power alcohol were added
to the total amount of gasoline, it
would approximate $4,000 900 gall
Ions Of alcohol which would repre-
sent 760,000000 bushels of grain
diverted to the gasoline industry
alone. This amount added to the
power alcohol used for synthetic
rubber and sold as industrial alco-
mol would be a tremendous amount
OF grain and vegetable crops di-
verted to fields which are not now
ordinarily touched. This effort in
the production of power alcohol
would not only aid the war effort
but would be tremendous aid in
the consumption of our surplus veg
etable and grain crops following
the war, thereby stabilizing agri-
culture.
New alcohol plants are being
constructed in Idaho, South Dakota
and Iowa. There is a definite place
for this program in our agriculture
in Imperial county, and if an al
cohol plant is to be had it is i'm
portant that we use every effort
to get the government to construct
a plant here at the earliest possible
cate.
George E. johnson, president of
the Farm Crops Processing corpora
tion has offered to draw the flow
sheet for the construction of the
plant and assist us in every pos
sible way with the government in
securing the finances for the erec-
ton Of an alcohol plant.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-06-16
MUST BE SAFEGUARDS

If our industry, however, Is 10
develop its possibilities OF postwar
production TO the best advantage
of all, it must have certain releas-
es and certain safeguards. Capital
is neceSsary-risk capital that Is
reaCy to take a chance on the fu-
ture. Because We have failed while
We fight to pay for the war to the
full extent of our ability. Through
an inac equate tax program, it IS 60
ing TO be impossible TO have any
early general reduction of taxes
when the war is over But there
should be a drastic revision OF the
tax laws TO encourage risk capital
for new investment and new VEN
lures.
Also, in order that industry may
function Yenturesomely, new and
effective methoCs must be found
for counteracting and controlling
the tendency toward monopoly ano
monopohstic prices. They are the
/ Trojan horse of the free enterprise
system and in essence a protective
device by men and industries wht
want to escape the hazards anc
/ penalties which are the counterpart
of the opportunities the system Of
fers.
Under such releases, under sucf
safeguards, our genius for produc'
ton will go long way toward solv'
ing the problems OF a demobiliza'
ton economy. There will be EN-
ployment; there will be good wages
there will be goods to buy. There
will be better living for all.

PRICE BEING PAID

AT the present time the govern
ment is paying go cents per gallon
for 100 proof grain alcohol and
where the plant has been financed
by the government. The coop is
allowed seven cents per gallon above
the cost of production. Out of this
seven cents per gallon the cost of
supervision only must be deducted
and the balance left in the fund;
which balance must be used at
the expiration of the war to apply
on the purchase price of the alcohol
production plant if the association
wishes TO buy it.
There are certain by-productS
to be haG from the grain after the
alcohol has been distracted. From
every 100 pounds of grain used for
power alcohol, 80 pounds of high
protein feed consisting of solubles
and inSolubles remain, which sell
at the present time for Sc per ton,
fob. plant. These high protein con-
centrates are very valuable as stock
and poultry feed. The other by
product mace from the gases being
eliminated in the process of manu-
featuring power alcohol is carbon
dioxide, from which dry ice is
made. For every 100 pounds of
grain used in the production of
power alcohol, 20 pounts of dry ice
IS made at cost of approximately
S420 per ton

CITES WAY AHEAD

Industry, labor and government
local. state. federal-Should set up
a cooperative mechanism which will
act as a clearing house for lnfor-
nation and constructive programs.
Through such a mechanism capital
goods expenc itures-Such as the
building of roads. public works, in
dUstrial plantS-So important fac
tor in the wide fluctuations OF our
economic cycle, can be spread and
levelled over the years. Plant loca-
ton and appropriate housing can
be rationalize6 TO the end that
congestion and distortion in our
economic system may be prevented.
But We must be realistic enough
to acknowledge that the best efforts
of private industry. even supple
mented by such intelligent cooper
alton. will not always be enough.
In addition the federal government
must exercise a cOunter-cychcal
influence against depression in or
der to preserve a reasonably high
level of employment.
Some OF the obviously necessary
measures TO this end are: Direction
of the capital market to encourage
a flow of new capital when depres-
sion threatens and to discourage II
in the face of a boom; the under
taking of legitimate government
projects at government expense, but
by private contract, the moment
depression sets in-projects, for
instance, that will improve the
health and welfare of the people,
create new markets, new purchas-
ing power; broad social assurances
which will both prctec. the individ-
ual and help to stabilize consumer
industries and agriculture.
