 MT. Lund admits thot the gigantic fleet could not be supported ut present but points out thu some of the plones should be kept in q Government re- serve pool. upon which the uirlines could druw us their needs increased.
 The Government, in return for fostering and de- veloping commercial eviction. would have the as- suronce that wartime transport needs could be sat isfdctorilY met
 We see reason to doubt the qdvisdbility of the Government looking dhedd in connection with the possession of adequate military air transport ucil ities Nevertheless. the Government is to keep the plunes in pool. do not why it should turn them to the dirlines. Why not let the Government keep it's militdrY pldnes under con- trol for its use whenever necessary?

NEW LIGHT ON PROFIT

NEW LIGHT ON PROFIT
 Some industrial leaders nova days refer to that old joker item. profit" in new way. Annual reports of corporations are be- ginning to list profit more prop erly as that part of the sales dol lar spent for use of the tools" This is an understandable way to designate whatever money is paid to stockholders for reinvest- ment or expansion.
 If American workers have good tools they turn out good products at reasonable prices. Without good tools the picture would be diff ferent. We do have good tools and good plants, better than any nation. But these things did not come by accident. These tools have accumulated because all of us have been free to save and in vest. We have put savings into tools of production. These things are our capital.
 CAPITAL AT WORK
 A hundred years ago each work man had only $55O invested for his use in the form of tools. To- day more than II times this am ount, or about S6,OOO worth of tools, is back of the average Am erican workman in his product i've efforts. In terms of purchas- ing power, our average workman's wages have increased about five fold, even though he works only half as many hours as he did then.
 Tools, then, are important to all of us. Where do they come from? The price of these better tools Sometimes they're expensive tools) has come from the people able to save from their incomes lit tie surplus to invest Most of these folks today are in the income bracket of $5,OO0 or over. But, through life insurance and bank savings, nearly everybody in Am erica participates in these pur- chaSeS of tools.
 DANGER SIGN
 Obviously, we have a high standard of living partly because of the labor aiding tools we have accumulated. That is fine. But, we must not forget that it is pos sible for America to have such national policies that tool invest ments are not forthcoming. Tn fact, during 1880 to 194O when our account in tools (capitaD slipped downward 1924 per cent, we found that our economy went backward rather than forward.
 Looking at the record, we see that most of our tools were ac- cumulated in the generation prior to 1929. From 1920 to 1880 new capital flowed to industry at the average rate of billion dollars a year. But the years from 1883 to l945 were dangerous years. During that period a yearly av- craze of less than half a billion
The Nome nugget., 1948-04-30


 What was the trouble? One trouble was that government had entered the picture and had be- gun to siphon funds away from the capital market. Tool money was turned into taxes. New tools became scarce. People were afraid to invest. Even after government had spent its part of the savings taken in taxation, depression re- mained and millions were still unemployed. We needed money turned to tools and incentive, not to taxes.
 Unsound taxation policies must not be allowed to get in the way

Michael J. McDermott, State De-

tioners he could not say whether
there was any relation to the check
up on Gen. Marshall's health and
a decision on how long he may re-

Asked whether the occasion for
Gen. Marshall's disqualification was
serious or routine, Mr.. McDermott
said so far as I know he is in for
a physical checkup."
Gen. Marshall was away from his
Office today for the first workday
since his return from Paris. Mr..
McDermott said he probably also
would remain away from work and
in the hospital tomorrow. Pre-
sumably he had been undergoing
some examination during the eve
nings for the past week.
