criticized for isuing 1t by the
authors Of the manifesto men
toned above, which is still being
wrangled over. But to many
minds, Christianity stands or
falls by its ability to remain
Christianity keeping wholly clear
Of politics.
AS for the day-to-day posi-
ton Of foreign missionaries in
China the general report is
gloomy. At the end of last June
1t was reckoned that there were
still 1879 foreign missionaries
in China (before the war there
were thousands but the num-
Der was shrinking fast. They
were not interfered with, but
were strictly confined to their
stations. Foreign hospitals were
also carrying on, though
weighed down with heavy tax
alton. One medical missionary
lady has been admitted to
Hankow; but otherwise no new
missionary. so far as can be
ascertained, has been let into
China. Some in the past year
have come out to Shanghai but
can get no farther. For foreign
missionaries the door opens only
one way.
What is most feared is the in
fiuence of "indoctrination."
During the holidays teachers
and many pupils are taken to
camps and crammed with Com
munist doctrine, which is also
part of the daily curriculum in
term-time. In such circum-
stances active Christian work
in the schools is impossible.
OF the position of the Roman
Catholic church it is difficult to
write. It is, of course, specially
handicapped by it's vigorous
hostility to communism. On
the other hand, it is far bigger
and older than all other mis-
sions put together; many Chi
nese families have been Roman
Catholics since the 10th CEN
fury. And foreign Catholic
priests going to China generally
expect to stay there for the rest
of their lives.
But there appears little doubt
that the Chinese governments
policy is to leave all foreign
missionaries to die out and not
allow them to be replaced from
abroad. How under such condi-
tions Christianity will develop
In China only time can show.

Secondly, If you encourage
competition in the construction
and operation of reactors (atomic
piles, then you pay a price, for
at this time there is only so much
technical know-how in the field
Of reactors. The commission and
industry would have to draw from
the same pool. There also is a
shortage Of materials that 60
into reactors."
The closest approach to a con-
crete proposal for industrial use of
atomic power has come from
Charles Allen Thomas, vice presi-
dent of the Monsanto Chemical
Co. In a speech he suggested
plan whereby industry would build
an atomic power plant with its
own funds. The power source,
uranium, would be leased to the
plant by the commission.
Started as Reporter
He proposed tentatively that q
7S.000-kilowatt plant be erected
near phosphate deposits in Idaho
where power sources are limited.
The power produced would be used
to make phosphorus.
Mr.. Thomas subsequently wrote
briefly of his plan to the commits
sion. Mr.. Dean disclosed for the
first time that the commission will
sit down with Mr.. Thomas shortly
and explore his proposal.

was the average Tor the 1our-year
period 1936-1939. Corporate prof
its before taxes in that period were
a little more than S. billions.
They were practically five times
greater during the war. and six
times greater in 1946-1949. Be
lieve it or not, corporate dividends
alone were greater during the
period 1946-1949 than all corpo--
rate profits before taxes were in
1899.
Auto Industry's Case
Mr.. McKennas assumption that
the automobile industry would
escape taxes under the Connally-
OMahoney amendment is dis
proved by a brief analysis Of the
profit status of General Motors
Corporation and of United States
Steel. General Motors earnings
before taxes for the base period
totaled $2.9 billions. From $95
millions in 1916. General Motors
earnings jumped to $640 millions
in 1947, to 1891 millions in 1948,
and finally to $1.3 billions in 1949.
Under the Connally 'Mahoney
amendment an excess profits tax
on 1850 earnings computed upon
80 per cent of the average of these
four years. would have yielded for
the last six months of the year not
less than $l66 millions. In the
case of United States Steel, the
excess profits yield for the last
six months of 1850 would have
been at least $35 millions. To-
gether these two corporations
under that amendment would
have contributed more than 5000
millions for half Of the current
year to help pay for the Korean
war. The Finance Committees
tax bill was estimated in the
committee report to be capable
of producing an additional reve-
nue. of only $500 millions from
corporations.
Pledge for 1851
All of the arguments which
were made against the excess
profits tax when first presented
it to the Finance Committee be-
fore it had reported its bill were
abandoned by the committee
when it offered the George Mill
kin amendment to pledge a retro
active excess-profits tax to be
enacted sometime in 1851. All the
talk about it's inflationary tend
encies, all the talk about the in
justice of retroactive tax. all the
talk about waste and extravaganza
has been abandoned. We are now
going to have an excess-profits
tax, and the accommodations OF
corporations resulting inevitably
from the huge government ex-
penditures which can not be
avoided will bear their proportion
ate burden.
/ would be the last to deny that
an excess-profits tax is complex
and difficult, but the record is
clear that the United States never
had a more prosperous era than
that which it has enjoyed since
1945. Bank deposits throughout
the United States which in 1889
amounted to $3.50 billion had in
creased to $143.1 billion in 1949.

Senator O.Mohoneys Views on Excess-Profits Tax

Senator O'Mahoaey, Democrat,
of Wyoming and Senator Con-
ually, Democrat, OF Teas 1Dere
joint sponsors and advocates of
inclusion of an erceSs-profts
tar section in the reDenue bill
enacted by the 81st Congress
during the past week. 1t DaS
finally decided BY the Congress
to defer such tar for later
consideration. The Sunday Star
last week carried an article By
Laurence L. McKenna discuss
ing this particular form of cor
porate taxation. Senator O'MG-
honey offers here some COM
n,entary on the McKenna article
and his DUN point OF uiew on
excess profits tar legislation.
Your Mr.. Lawrence L. Nc
Kenna in a special article in the
Sunday issue Of September II
wrote two columns criticizing the
excess-profits tax proposal and
one paragraph predicting that it
will be enacted early next year.
His catalogue Of the alleged alb
surdities of taxing excessive cor
porate profits was thus answered
by his conclusion that, to quote
his word, IAN excess-profits tax
is inescapable-if for no other
reason than on psychological
grounds" -,
Since Mr.. McKenna's article
was written. Congress has taken
the necessary steps to justify his
prediction that a corporate excess
profits levy will be enacted at an
early date. That being the case.
should like to trespass upon
your space to analyze some of Mr..
McKenna's criticisms.
They range all the way from
the unkind charge that cor
porate managers are so lacking in
patriotism that they would in
dulge in an orgy of waste and
extravaganza in order to reduce
their lawful contribution to the
support of their Government in
this greatest crisis of national
history, to the baseless suggestion
that Senator Connally and I, who
sponsored the amendment in the
Senate, advanced it as a panacea
designed to meet all projected
military expenditures.
Productive of Revenue
The fact that the excess-profits
tax Of World War II produced ap-
proximately $12 billion in reve-
nue. for the Government during
the year 1914, the last year for
which statistics have been pub
lished, Is in itself proof that the
excess-prof1ts tax is productive
of vast revenue in the time of
need.
If that $12 billion were added
to the tax increase of $4.5 billion
proposed in the Senate bill, it
would still not equal the appro-
priation of SIT billion which this
Congress has just made, primarily
for national defense expenditures
Mr.. McKenna referred to this $4.5
tax increase as quite substantial. u
It's complete inadequacy to meet
the burden which the Congress by
