Anderson Links Party
With Human Rights
BY the Assoeioted Press


LOUISVILLE, KY. Feb. 21.-Sec-
retary of Agriculture Anderson said
tonight the Democratic Party will
continue to ride. the crest Of the
tide" only so long as it remains "the
champion of human rights"
Mr.. Anderson apparently had in
mind the civil rights program to
end Negro. segregation which has
aroused strong Southern opposition.
He spoke at Jefferson-Jackson
centennial dinner by Kentucky
Democrats. He declared:
To-day the Democratic Party un-
der President Truman still continues
in the progressive spirit of Jefferson,
jackson, Wilson and Roosevelt. And
strangely that seems to trouble some
people. They sometimes ask: why
doesn't the President coast along?
Why does he raise troublesome
issues?'
do you see why?' Don't you see
it is because our party can never
coast-can never straddle?
we are a great party because we
forever push ahead toward the ideals
Of democracy. We are swept along
on a great progressive tide and our
strokes are with it--not against it.
"Only 50 long as the Democratic
Party remains the champion of
human rights-the defender OF
human liberties-whether in the po-
litical or the economic sphere-only
so long will it continue to ride the
crest of the tide.
"Otherwise, the two-party system
goes dead and there is little to choose
between the Democratic donkey
and the Republican elephant.
THE distinction between Demo-
crat and Republican must remain
clear. Democratic leadership must
be as completely in step with the
times as the Republican leadership
is out of step"

None of the Presidents civil

Eric Johnston Urqes
Private Loans Board
Under Marshall Plan

Establishment of Peace Pro-
duction Board" within the frame
work of the Marshall Plan to facili-
tate private production loans abroad
by American banks was urged by
Eric A. Johnston in an address at
the Mayfiower Hotel last night.
The president of the Motion Pic
ture Association Of America, speak
ing at the 40th annual banquet of
Washington Chapter, American In
stitute of Banking, said "a dozen
Marshall Plans without the aid of
private business will never solve the
real problem of European recovery"
Under Mr.. Johnston's proposal. a
peace production board would pass
on worthy private investments
abroad. The lending bank in
America would assume per cent of
any loss and the borrowing bank
another 5 per cent. The 80 per cent
remainder of the loan would be
guaranteed by the Government as
in the days Of war production.
Called Partnership Capitalism.
Stating that the Government is
not equipped to seek out and assist
private business in other countries,
Mr.. Johnston said, I'VE all want the
Marshall Plan to be springboard
for Europe instead of wheelchair.
We don't want it to begin as a
hand-out and run from year to year
as dole.
Europe" he asserted, will stride
forward again without crutch
only as private business in Europe
revives. What Is needed is to un-
leash the creative talents of count
less entrepreneurs of today and to-
morrow.
Il call this idea of hooking up
American and European capital and
European manpower, partnership
capitalism. In this partnership
capitalism I placed my greatest hope
for world reconstruction" he said.
Can't Walt for Stable Currency.
After making 1t clear that he Is
for the Marshall Plan, he went into
detail as to how American banks
can lend money abroad as a new
recovery STEP, IF bankers wait until
eurrencies are stable, then We must
admit that we are all through.
I'VE won't help the European sit
uation by just talking about it. Lip
service doesn't move pig iron. We
don't help by sitting on our hands
and sitting on our dough" Declar-
ing his proposal it workable, he
urged every bank in the United
States to consider 1t.
The annual banquet drew a rec
ord attendance of 1850 institute
members and their guests. Theodore
p. Cowgirl, head of Washington
Chapter, presided.

How to Treat Loans
on Income Tax
By THOMAS M. ROBINSON
Collector of Internal Revenue

SOtCCtOI u iuteI1Ql neN6Hue
TAXPAYERS ARE given the op-
ton of ~electing to treat loans by
the Commodity Credit Corp. to pro-
ducers of agricultural commodities
on the security of such commodi-
ties, as though the commodities had
been sold in the year of the loan for
the amount of the loan. Thus, in
stead of a loan, the money advanced
to borrowers from the Commodity
Credit Corp. may be treated as the
sales price of the commodities
pledged for the loan.
The law, prior to the enactment
date of the 1889 Revenue act, re-
quired advances made by the Com
modify Credit Corp. to be treated as
loans, with the result that when the
pledged commodities were eventu-
ally sold, taxpayers were required
to take up a large amount of income,
and, in addition, in many cases did
not have available to them their
deductions, on account of produc-
ton expenses.
Election Allowed
This resulted in a distortion of
taxable income, and, in order to re-
lieve this situation, the election to
treat these loans as income is given.
If the option to treat these loans
as income for any taxable year be-
ginning after Dec. 81, 1888, is exer-
ciSed, then this method of treating
the loans must be adhered to with
respect to all subsequent years, un-
less with the approval of the COM
missioner, a change to a different
method is obtained. The election ap-
plies only to treating the proceeds
of the loan as income and cannot
be made retroactive.
Year Actually Received
On a cash basis the loans can only
be included in the year in which
they are received, and not in the
year in which the loans were grant
ed. 1t is immaterial that the check
was mailed in the year prior to its
actual receipts, or that interest ran
from the date the check was mailed.
In Sloper versus the commissioner,
the tax court stated:
"Where a partnership complied
with regulations in making its cleo
ton under Code Section 1913 (a), so
that the amount received as a Com
modify Credit Corp. loan could be
included in income when received,
and the loan was approved and the
check mailed to the partnership on
Dec. 80, 1888, but not received by
the partnership until Jan. 3, 1899
the proceeds of the loan were not
actually Oh constructively received
by the partnership, on a cash basis
until 1899, and taxpayer, a member
of the partnership, should have re.
ported his share of such loan fol-

Monurchs to Meet

MarysVille High basketballers

ship Friday evening when they
go to Redwood for a game with

The north-enders feature a
quick breaking offensive which
has carried them to lop-sided
victories over both Raymond and
Green Camp cagers, and are ex-
pected to cause plenty of trouble
for Marysville during the course
of the evening.
Like Marysville, Richwood's s
season is just starting because
they play football. Consequently,
the two teams will have about the
same amount of experience under
their belts this season and so
should stack up evenly in this de-
partment.
The Monarchs should have con-
siderable of a height advantage,
but reports from Redwood indi-
cate speedy outfit there and this
factor will tend to offset Marys-
ville's height Another factor en-
tering into the picture is the
spirit of friendly rivalry which ex-
lists between the two schools, and
which always adds fire to any
meeting between them.
