All Of the presidential candidates

All of the presidential candidates
are pulling strings and expressing
themselves cautiously upon National
issues.
The majority opinion in Washing
ton indicates that the Democrats will
not nominate President Truman.
Senator Byrd of Virginia is favor

battle is between Dewey and Taft.
Both men have tremendous popul-
arity and support of the entire poll

can party, including the powerful
forces of the Senate and House of
Representatives. Senator Vanden-

all "possibles."

Generally speaking the bying pub

there is a blockade midway and all

Doing Things Must
De IIuOG WI n VAiAAC
High taxes are strangling the in
centive of investors and of manage
ment in America today. Tax reforms
ssa needed to correct this situation
anS the effort must be made prompt
ly to be of avail, if high employ
ment and expanded production are
to be saved.
Need for drastic action is pointed
out by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., chairman
of the board of General Motors, in
the preface of the corporations an
nual report of its 100000 stockhold-
ers. He says, in part:
Excessive or confiscatory business
taxes serve to increase prices, hence
diminish consumption and reduce
employment. They lower the ceiling
on potential profits, hence discour-
age the investment of venture CAPT
tai in new enterprises vital to an
expanding economy. They reduce
the development of existing business.
They limit the ability of business
to grow from within by reinvesting
earningc in expansion and more eff
fective instruments of production.
Excessive or c~onfiscatory taxes
as levied on the individual reduce
savings for investment and discour-
age the sacrifice necessary to induce
savings. They reduce spendable in
come and hence consumption of
goods and services"
Mr.. Sloan said the aggregate tax
on business profits and on those dis
tributed to ownership should not ex-
coed so per cent and that no man
should be required to contribute
more than half of his income to the
maintenance of the government. He
points out that revenue so lost would
be relatively small compared to the
total tax figure, and that the gain
through increasing economic incen-
tive would be great.
Large amounts of accumulated saw
lngs by businesses and by individuals
have supplied the capital for the
postwar reconstruction, but it is plain
to see that this source is temporary,
under the strangling tax condition.
w must return to concept of

production has remained compare
lively stationary.
Agricultural experts agree that
the acute shortage which now exists
will continue for at least ten years.
Quoting a report of Food and Agri-
cultural Organization, United Ma
tons, Geneva, August Is, 1947, Mr.
Sullivan said, present demand is ex-
pected to increase around A per
cent during the decade 1950-1960.
Additional plant capacity now under
construction throughout the world
exclusive of Russia will provide not
more than $50 thousand tons of nj
trogen per year, or less than 10 per
cent of the expected increase in re-
quirements."
Mr.. Sullivan then approached the
problem from a local county level
commenting on the goal of $150,000
which had been set for Holmes CO.
unity. He outlined the financial bene-
fits which such an investment would
bring to the area. He said $500
worth of stock would entitle farmers
in the county to n ton of ammon-
ium nitrate produced at the Missis-
sippi plant.
Experiments, both in the labor
atory and in the field, have estab-
lished the fact that / pound of pure
nitrogen will produce A of a bushel
of corn, 8 of a bushel of oats or 10
pounds of seen cotton. Using these
figures as a basis, if the entire 1000
tons of nitrogen allowed by the coun-
ty goal could be made available for

Weekly Letter

Telling The Bad News

WASHINGTON, d. c. March-The
unpredictable President Truman is
sued orders to Federal officials a few
days ago, to reject "any subpoena or
demand" from Congress or the courts
for material in the loyalty program
files. This order, he seeks to explain
as being 'in the inttrest of our own
national secruity and welfare"
In other words he tells Congress
and the courts to go way back and
sit down-which he has no right to
do, as the Congress and the courts
are not subordinates subject to such
a drastic demand.
A wave of strikes is be-
ginning to sweep across the
country and most of these strikes are
in plain defiance of the labor law
passed a few months ago by Con
gress-a law that is very clear in
seeking to protect the rights of union

ing to all groups full rights of pro.

There is a ear crime wave in the
National Capital City as rough as the
tough-spots pulled off in wild and
woody parts of the Nation.
1t is also news to report a large
surplus of babies are being born in
the Capital City of the United States.
One commentator reports: every
body's doing it,"
Congress and the President fight
ove tax reduction, foreign affairs
and bushels of other plans and sub
jects.
In short, the whole situation in the
National Capital is discouraging-
eve to the point of rapidly forming
conclusions that another World War
may be the outcome of our daily and
nightly troubles with Stain and his
Communists.
The President, leading members
of Congress and General Marshall
agree that "the situation is very, very
serious"
And when we look toward the Uni
ted Nations and the Nations of the
World that believe in orderly and de-
cent government-we face the fact,
the situation is very, very serious"

traces it back to the New Deal, which
deprecated the dollar, boosted the

Senator Taft traces confusion in

and the continuation of its policy by
President Truman. He seems to
match Dewey's optimism about get

Harold E. Stassen keeps pegging
