TOWARD SOCIALISM?

How q quiet persistent revision of tax policies has brought about fundamental change-for the worse-in this nations me-honored pattern of eco- homie opportunity Is told very cogently in the ooth of series of editorial advertisements by the McGraw- Hill Publishing Company.
 Have we unwittingly come much nearer than we realize to the State socialism dislike abroad? That question burns in the mind after reading James H McC;raw Jr's provocative argument that the re- c,n, tendency to tax all above $50O0 out of existence is eating into the very heart of our scheme of private enterprise
 The effects just now, obscured because the great accumulation of wartime needs is keeping in dustry and business running at high rate In other words we are living yesteryears business. What will happen when production overtakes demand In all ines of trade? What will provide the stimulus that will enable business and industry to go out and make jobs instead merely of sitting back in office taking orders?
 Sooner or later and perhaps sonoer thar we think, this nation will need again adequate supply of risk capital money that people are willing to invest ln enterprises not assured of success.
 Our banks and insurance companies are loaded with money but it is money which the trustees cannot invest save the surest enterprises. That may be well enough to nourish the od-establshed and ortho dox lines of business but the impetus that provides new jobs where none existed before must come from venturing capital The law keeps banks and nsur- ance companies from gambling" in new enterprises, no matter how excellent may their prospect of providing more work and enriching way of life.
 Yet there was a certain amount of alchemy in the manner in which this nation prospered so nightly in bygone generations We built great railroads great industrial establishments and great cities because capi talism had money to risk-and because the rewards

it may do so much damage that even if we win the war eventu- ally, it will be a fruitless victory. Until we have an air-tight defense system it is possible for mutual knockout blows to be landed al- most simultaneous by both sides, so the net result of the whole war might be simply to provide more 'lebensraum' for the small countries who demain neutral.
 For the above reasons or broad strategy the major mission of the Air Forces should be the defense of the United States, and inter ceptor fighters should be empha- sized by the Air Forces, rather than the strategic bonbers. In the first part of this paper it was shown that for technical reasons carrier air task forces can deliver

 'iSo much Tor the future role of the Navy. What becomes of the Air Forces if the Navy takes over the role of strategic bombing? There is plenty left for the Air Forces to do In view of the na- ture of a future war, it is possible that in a future war the mission of the Air Forces may be more important than that of the Navy.
 Tt has always been a military axiom that the best defense is a well-directed offense. In our na- tional defense planning we have therefore given much higher prior ity to planning for the offense than to the defense. With the ad- vent of the A-bomb, and the in- creased range Of heavy bomber aircraft, we are forced to mooify this axiom.
 Tn the past we have always re- gsrded taking the offensive against the enemy and carrying the war to his own country as the most im- pcrtant objective of all This is still important, for unless we do this, we cannot break hs will to fight. But in the past carrying the war to the enemy was in it. self the best war O. insuring the security of cur homeland This is no longer true.

NO OFFENSIVE AIR FORCE

Since this country has all it wants, our long-range strategy is essentially defensive, hanging to what we've got and defending our way of life. If we get into a war, destroying the enemy's country is not our end. It is simply the means toward an end, which is protecting our own country. In the past taking the offensive has been the most effective means of ac- complaining cur end, but it is not any more.
 Tt appears therefore that it is entirely unsound for us to put great emphasis on strategic air striking force at the expense of leaving ourselves open to retalia- ton, or to Pearl Harbor on an atomic scale. The most impor- tant job of the Air Forces has now become the defense of the United States, intercepting and knocking down an enemy attack.
 There is no use in saying that the best place to stop an enemy air attack is on the ground. That way is no longer possible for any country, particularly for this country. We can't hit first, so we must have defense that will in- tercept and destroy the first sur prise attack. We certainly can't destroy the first attack on the ground because no one will know that the war has started until this attack is in the air
 If this first attack gets through

impossibility of appeasing the U. S.
S. r.
To-day, he CMr. Stassen) sug-
gested that the best method of COM
batting communism was to adopt
social welfare measures in this
country, which Mr.. Roosevelt was
always suggesting. I am all for
the social welfare measures, but
we have to adopt good deal more
active methods to combat commun-
ism in the world today.
Now Mr.. Stassen has swung
over to demand the outlawing OF
the Communist Party. Frankly,
don't know what that means, nor
does anyone else. Under our Con-
stitution a man can be a Com
munist If he desires."~

from Mr.. Stassen for % of Ohio's

Mr.. Stassen was subjected earlier
to a thorough political quiz by

Ohio campaign.
Before departing for Northwest
ern University at Evanston, Ill, for
mock political convention, Mr..
Stassen made these points in sepa-

This was the last day OF Mr.

he said, save for a radio broadcast
he intends to make in Cleveland on

at Evanston, Mr.. Stassen said there

charter is revised.

America could try to get the U. N

Machinists Boo Taft
AT Appearance in
Home State Vote Drive
BY the Associofsd Press

CLEVELAND, April Ex-senator
Taft tonight accused Harold E.
Stassen of a political about-face on
the issue of communism, as the two
headed into the home stretch OF
their hectic Ohio primary race.
In a radio address, the Ohio Sem
ator challenged Mr.. Stassen's state
ment earlier today that the Mime
sotan's Republicanism closely re-
sembled the G. o. P. outlook in
Congress, and assailed the stand
taken by Mr. Stassen on communists.
Senator Taft's grass roots" Ohio
campaign was met later tonight
with a loud chorus of boos when
he appeared before about 1000 in
dependent machinist unionists at
the Thompson Products Corp. S
Tapco division.
Doesn't Deliver Speech.
He did not deliver a nine-page
speech prepared for the occasion.
One of the Tapco officials told the
"partying" unionists after Senator
Taft's arrival:
Senator Taft is not going to
make any political speech. We at
Tapco are friends of every one, re-
gardless of politics, so let's give him
a hand"
The Senator then smilingly
acknowledged a polite round of ap-
plause and entered briefly into the
FIRMS party program.
One of Senator Taft's aides said
the reason for the Senator's failure
to give his prepared address was
that he had arrived nearly an hour
late at the session.
In his earlier radio address, Sen
ator Taft declared: t; ..
"Mr. Stassen originally adopted
very much the same view toward
communism that President Roose-
welt held" said Senator Taft. He
