It. j.g.) George B. Dolan, 20 52O Highland avenue, and other men who manned the destroyer tender USS Yosemite during the war helped write the pages of the history of that ship now being brought up to date by the Navy.
 The. Okinawa campaign brought the biggest task for the crew of the Yosemite. Whenever gun was fired there, or a torpedo turned loose, or a watch checked for an important coordination of time there was a good chance that the crew of the Yosemite had helped make it possible.

The recent action Of the Govern
ment In suspending all reconversion
to civilian production in critical in
dustrial areas has emphasized once
more the fact that the war is far
from won and that the winning Of
it Is still the first task facing the
nation, states the Guaranty Trust
Company Of New York in the cur
rent issue of The Guaranty Survey,
its monthly review of business and
financial conditions in the United
States abroad.
1t Is to be assumed that the ban
will be lifted as soon as military con-
siderations permit, for it is univer-
sally recognized that victory will
bring a new set of problems whose
solution will be greatly facilitated
by the earliest possible start toward
reconversion. The Survey contin-
ues. We are now seeing the most
convincing proof ever offered that
governmental borrowing and spend
ing on a large enough scale can
raise employment and national in
come to almost any level within
the physical capacity Of a country.
The essentially temporary character
Of this process, however, would seem
too obvious to require emphasis. If
long continued, the practice must
lead either to political and economic
disorder or to increasing regimen
tation.
That Is certainly not what the
American people want. They want
jobs, under a system of free enter
prise. But free enterprise can give
jobs only if it is truly free-free to
prosper, free to expand. and free
to manage its own affairs.
SPECIFIC NEEDS
Wartime taxes and restrictions
should, of course. be abolished. The
double taxation Of corporate divi-
dends should be eliminated. Sur
taxes OH individual incomes in the
higher brackets should be draStically
reduced. The capital gains Ia;
should be repealed. The Federal ta::
structure as whole should be sim
plified and stabilized. Taxation
should be used solely as a means
Of raising revenue. not as an instru-
ment Of social REFORM The theory
Of compensatory Government spend
ing-spending not to provide relief
but to create prosperity-should be
abandoned.
The National Labor Relations Act
should be amended to prescribe
equal treatment for management
and labor. Regulatory policies tend
ing to force the CLOSED shop" on
business should be abolished. Labor
unions should be subject to public
regulation, as corporations are. Reg
lations in the field of wages and
hours that tend to discourage in
dividual initiative should be modi-
fled.
All rulings o. administrative
boards should be made subject to
court review. Tie practice of dele
eating legislative power to admins
trative agencies should be discon-
tinued.

Jobs m The Most important
Postwar Business Problem

The granting of credit and other
forms of governmental competition
with private business should be re-
duced to a minimum.
The gold standard should be
promptly reestablished, particularly
for international transactions.
The regulation Of new security
issues should be liberalized.
Public policy in general should re-
fleet an attitude of impartiality as
between groups of citizens, and of
respect and sympathy for honest
business, whether small or large.
These are the principal steps that
business men generally consider
necessary to enable them to fulfill
their public obligations. They are
the answer to the statement, so
fashionable in recent years, that, if
private enterprise cannot provide
jobs. government must. Private en-
terpriSe believes that it can provide
jobs in abundance if it is given a
chance. And if the American peo-
pie want both jobs and freedom,
they must give private enterprise
that chance.
CONTINUING OBSTACLES
1t seems to be generally agreed
that the readjustment to peace
time conditions and needs will be
difficult and may involve a con-
siderable amount of temporary un-
employment. There is widespread
support also for the view that, once
the major phases of the recover
sion are completed the deferred de-
mand and the accumulated purchas-
ing power of wartime will be power
full Stimulants to production and
employment. These war-created in
fluenceS, however. will pass off,
leaving government and business
face-to-face with the crucial ques-
ton: Have the conditions that pre-
vented recovery in the nineteen
thirtieS been removed. and if not, is
there clear and early prospect
that they will be?
1t would be pleasant to answer
this question in the affirmative, but
difficult to support such an answer
in the light of the available evil
dence. This is not because as some
commentators assert, ours is a ma
ture" economy in which scarcity has
given way to abundance and free
private enterprise is no longer cap
able of providing adequate employ
ment. AS far as We know or have
any reason to believe, private enter
prise is as inherently capable of
providing employment as it ever was.
It is because there has as yet ap-
peared no prospect of substantial
change in the public policies that
created such an uncongenial econ
"mic environment during the pre-
war decade and that may we'll have
been. as so many business men and
economists believe, the decisive fac
tor preventing our economy from
reestablishing itself on a prosper
Gus basis, as it has after so many
major depre5SionS in the past.
