BUSINESSMEN:
To Fight Profit Levy

A group of more than 100 bust
nessmen announced they had
formed committee to fight against
an excess profits tax.
They based their campaign on the
idea that such tax is negotiable,
inflationary, destructive and dan
gerous.
The businessmen, however, did
not have the gall to stand on that
announcement alone. They tempered
their campaign with, Business
profits must bear their fair share
of increased taxation"
One of the committee members
said: "The excess profits tax is
very harmful and dangerous tax, in
spite of its superficial plausibility.
1t is inequitable and inflationary."
The businessmen were worried
because congress convened Novem-
Der q with consideration of an ex-
cess-profits tax the chief item on its
agenda. Before it quit in September
it instructed the house ways and
means and the senate finance COM
mittees to have proposals for such
levy ready for consideration.

KOREA:
The Bottle Continues

While the world speculated about
China's ultimate aims in Korea, the
battle continued
Reports from the scene were con-
fused. Military observers estimated
as many as 10000 Chinese Commu-
nists fighting in North Korea, but
said United Nations forces continued
slow advances behind smashing air
attacks.
Meanwhile, a Chinese delegation
was invited to the United Nations to
hear the charge of aggression in
North Korea lodged against them by
the United States.
Many observers believed they had
found the one main reason for
China's action in North Korea. It
centered around the great North
Korean power plants along the Man.
churian-Korean Yalu river boun-
dairy.
The Chinese Reds apparently were
willing to fight to protect them. The
reason being that the mighty hydro
electric plants strung across the
neck of North Korea produced g.
681, 1s0 of Korea's 1882, 727 kilowatt
hours. An undetermined amount of
that power going into Manchuria,
the great center of China's heavy in
dustry.
With this in mind, Chinese forces
plunged into North Korea and forced
United Nations troops to withdraw
from the area. Since the Chinese
have constructed a "Maginot Line"
below the vital plants and will put
up a determined defense when
U.N. forces reach the area again.
Mao Tze-tung does not want that
power shut off. Although the Rus
slams looted much Manchurian pro-
ductive equipment during their post
war occupation, what is left is
China's chief hope for industrializa-
ton. And the Communist party line
says industrialization is the answer
to China's historic poverty.

FOREIGN AID:
Extension Proposed

A vast extension of Americas for
eign aid program was proposed by
President Truman and the question
will undoubtedly be subject to hot
debate in congress.
Urgent recommendations for
frightening the period of Marshall
type aid to western Europe stood
high on the list. The area was
termed as this country's "most
critical area" in security sense.
The declared immediate objec-
tives of the new program are to
promote adequate western rearma-
ment, bulwark southern Asia and
the Middle East especially against
Communist aggression, and expand
production of strategic raw materi-
ais throughout the non-Communist
world. The program would entail an
indicated several billion dollars a
year.
Just what attitude the new con-
gress will take concerning the prob
lem is still a question in the minds
of most observers.
One thing can be sure, the new
congress will be one of the most
unpredictable in mum er of
years. The balance of control is so
narrow anything might happen. The
issue of m ore m ney for Eu-
rope and Asia will face bitter de-
bate.

|CRIME:
Dworfs the EOS

To those who remember the
roaring twenties" and such gangs
as the Capone boys, Senator Ke-
fauver, chairman of the senate COM
mittee investigating crime, made a
shocking announcement.
The senator said that "organized
crime in the country today would
make kindergarten play out of the
operations of the Capone boys" and
that the influence of crime on pub
lie official is Every sinister and very
great"
He went so far as to say that his
committee had the facts to prove
that well-organized and tough"
groups of criminals are operating
throughout the country with enter
locking ownership between all
groups"
He said the racketeers are cor
rupting public officials and law en-
forcement officers, and are putting
their money into "so-called legiti-
mate businesses" in which they use
racketeering methods.
heIduVeTS reasons LOT the con-
tinued prosperity of crime agreed
with those of most observers: Local
public indifference to stopping the
rackets.
Kefauver's nationwide study is
aimed at strengthening federal laws
to block the way for organized
crime. Such laws would include in
terstate ban on the shipment of gam
bling devices, more control over
the wire services, Strengthening of
the postal laws, and amendments to
the internal revenue laws which
would require real bookkeeping"
Gamblers and racketeers now
cheat the United States out of hum
dreds of millions of dollars a year
in taxes.

TAFT:
The Next President?

If the Republican national con-
vention were scheduled for today,
there is little doubt but that Robert
Taft of Ohio would get the COPS
nomination for president. The ques-
ton remains, can he get it in 1852?
A recent nationwide survey of
Republican state chairmen showed
Taft an overwhelming choice, with
Earl Warren of California and
James Duff of Pennsylvania, Sec
ond and third in that order.
Democrats and labor's political
chiefs have tagged him the man to
beat. The senator beat them both
by 100000 Notes.-The biggest plural
ity of his career.
Taft is reported to have said he
was not a candidate for the presi-
dency right now, but he indicated he
could be influenced.
II don't say that I wouldn't take
the nomination if it were offered to
me-" he said, "but I shall make no
campaign to get it."
Ray Bliss, Ohio Republican chair
man, summed up the opinion of
most Republican leaders throughout
the country: eff Senator Taft is in
terested, he would in my opinion be
the logical person for the Republican
nomination in 1882 He took the is
sues to the voters in Ohio this year
and won. That is the type of agrees
sive campaigning we need in 1882"
At the present time only one man
could beat Taft out of the nominal
ton - Eisenhower, and he is not
available.

COP. VICTORY:
The Bottle Is Underway

The echo of the COP. victory in
the November national election had
mot subsidized before another voice
was heard on the national scene. It
was a Republican chorus of "fire
Acheson" and a hint Of congress
sional reorganization. The battle be-
gan for greater COP. power in the
coming session Of congress.
On the domestic scene, Repub-
ican leaders opened fire on what
they called the grave inflationary
situation" This was not believed to
mean price controls for the benefit
of the American housewife, how
ever.
Senator Wiley Of Wisconsin, fresh
from a reelection victory, said: ut
Is national tragedy the way prices
of military items have been allowed
to leap since the Korean conflict
started" Controls were expected to
be along this line.
There were indications also that a
new investigation Of Communist in
6uences in government would be
launched by Republicans when the
next congress convened.
Notice was also served on the
Democrats that Republicans will in
sist upon advance consultation on
foreign policy steps.
And Sen. Robert A. Taft, now the
acknowledged "big-wig" of the Re-
publican party, made it clear he
would like to hang Acheson's scalp
to his belt when he stated: 81
haven't the slightest confidence in
Acheson's judgment"
To most observers it was clear the
Republican party had launched an
about campaign for control of the
us. government. The final battle
will be fought with the ballot box
in 1852.

CORN BELT:
Rural Vote Counts

Leaders Of both major parties
have spent considerable time since
the election trying to read the fu-
ture from the election results. One
obvious conclusion was drawn. The
major battle ground for the 1852
election will be in the midwest corn
belt.
AS most voters remember, Tru-
man won the 1913 election because
three Midwest states jumped from
their traditional COP. column to
the Democrat side. They were Ohio,
Illinois and Iowa. Had any two of
these states voted for Dewey in 1913,
he would have been elected.
In the recent election, however,
the rural vote returned to the Re-
publican ledger. Two factors may
have influenced the switch in the
farm voting: tendency for farmers
to return to their traditional Repub-
icanism when times are good and
to vote Democratic only when their
prices and incomes are declining.
and, apparent dissatisfaction with
foreign policies of the administra-
ton.
For these reasons the farmers of
the Midwest will find themselves
the target of both Republican and
Democratic candidates in 1852. The
Republicans will attempt to increase
their gains and the Democrats can
be expected to launch full-scale
attack to retake command. It might
even be said that the farmers of
the midwest will elect the next
president of the United States.
