Tax Cut Bars DOwn--Trun,an Did It
lThe Denver POStl

CThe Denver Post)
 THE THIRD TIME will very likely be the charm" for Republican tax-cutters led by Chairman Knutson of the House ways and committee, in spite of what to be clear notice that the President will veto the measure.
 Secretary of the treasury Snyder warns that there must be reduction of federal revenues below levels becaue of nation budgetary needs and the uonal debt The knutson formula, he contends, would cost the government 6200 million dollars instead of the $500 million dollars which the Mnnesoan has estim- ated It would wipe out part of this years surplus and create deficit in l948-1949.
 We take no issue with Mir Snyder's arguments against the Knutson propoathev are the reaons which led this paper to support the President his two vetoes of tax-cutting bills last year Then the President ring ingy said it 'The wrong kind of tax reduction at the wrong time. With that statement, still agree But we feel that Mir Truman has let us down with his own eecton-year tax-reducon program.
 Mir Trun,ans proposal for 'cost of living tax cred it of $40 for each taxpayer and dependent costing 3200 million dollars which would be offset by boost in poraton taxes is bait for the ballot box Its outward merit of providing greater tax relief for the ow-ncome groups which need it most is cancelled out by the infa tionarv effect it would have The increased tax buS despite the bulge in profits would have douby inflaionary eect-reSut directly in increased prices and discourage new productive enterprise.
 Fooshy-because there is not the renotest chance of the Republican majority accepting his programthe President has cut the ground out from under his own feet He has played straight into the hands of the tax cutters And this time the public, indicated in cent Gallup survey will not back him up.
 Opinion has done flip-flop tax reduction since MT Truman two vetoeS of last year Now public opn ion favors tax reduction and the President by conced ing the principle of individual tax relief has served strengthen that sentiment Last year he barely able to make his veoes stick this time he will very likely fail His opposition will get the political credit regard less of the damage; and he will largely have himself blame.

ton of our resources
 On the first score, the American people should view efforts to chip and chse away European aid in the light of these facts:
 First, the amount President Truman asked Congress to authorize and appropriate had already been trimmed by government more than billion dollars below Europe's carefully considered estimates of need. The Truman figure is therefore the minimum needed to do the job, or less
 Second, increasing prices in this country will still further reduce the total of effective aid The dollar aid we give Europe may be in dollars more shrunken in purchasing power than they
 Everyone ought to know by this time the expensive and the relative futy, recovery measure, of continuing emergency relief It has already cost us 15 billions. Unless stop paying for relief, and begin pay ing for recovery there's telling how many more b- lions shall have to spend.
 Political parsimony, therefore could deal European recovery and American security fatal blow.
 On the second score-the danger of economic imper- ialiSn-we an even greater risk We risk losing all that contribute and of losing Europe to Communism into the bargain.
 The sweeping charge that the ERP is in its very es sence blatant piece of American economic imperialism projected by our government orders from Wall Street is the keynote of Russian propaganda against the plan.
 We can deny this in good conscience as matters now stand. Wall street did not invent the Marshall plan Even Henry Wallace will support that statement he has stated in speech and in writing that he invent ed" it.
 But tS IS no program to be turned over to those who see no further than their next million dollars It must not force Europe to knuckle down. to conditions more favorable to the reapng of American profits than to the restoration of world peace and security Our con- ros must be adequate but they should stop short of undue interference in the economic systems of the countries sharing our aid. Some economic controls quickly and inevitably affect political independence
 We need to tread warily in this area of ERP manage ment and control We dare not assume that all econo mic methods and practices that work well for us will ho tah1 to Wed better be douby wary of setting up the kind of management and control that might either involve or offer temptation to interference in political and gov ernment concerns We dare not give the lie to our pledge of helping western Europes people back to full economic and political sovereignty over their own af fairs
 To do that to people who, though needy are also proud and manly would be to aienate them from us in fear and repugnance to drive them first to despair and eventually into the spread net of the Communists
