a labor union official has urged that the
government Immediately increase taxes to
the extent necessary to produce $4,000 OOO-
0Cb a year in additional revenue. He said
further that should be done by increasing the
rates on business and on taxpayers in the
nlgher income bracketS-and that the lower
income groups should not be hit. Here. in
essence, is a rastatement of the old "soak
the rich" principle. The main trouble is that
we haven't got enough rich. Current tax
rates on big incomes are extremely high. and
II they were raised to a fiat 100 per cent the
increase IN revenue wouldn't make dent in
present and prospective budgets Extortion
ate taxes on business would soon defeat their
own purpose, by curbing industrial expan-
sion and deprlving enterprise of needed in

Keep It closed. Moreover when we tax busi-
ness to the confiscatiOn point, the worst eff
tiect IS found in the smaller enterprise. which
IS trying to expand and doesn't possess the
reserves, markets and other resources of the
Dig concern. We have reached the point
where more and more of the cost of govern
ment must be borne by the small and middle
bracket taxpayer whether we like It or not

TAKING OVER THE WATER

1t has been reported that a grandiOse ma
tOnal water policy agency will be proposed
IN legislative draft which is now in the
preparatory stage. This, according to pre-
hmlnary information, will take the form of
super pOllcy-making body, with full power
TO dictate plans for flood control, navigation.
hydrOelectric power development. irrigation
and everything else connected with water.
1t IS further reported that a lip-service re-
gard Tor states rights will be provided bv
way CT advisory committees. However these
committees would actually have small weight
OF authority. Those who are familiar with
the plan doubt if it will be brought into the
light OF day sOOn-it would meet with too
much opposition at this time. However. il
VIII undoubtedly appear in one form or an
other since the time seems ripe. What we

even close to it is made into LAWS absO-

that implies. The states could advise of

rights by the Federal gOvernment-and for
step-by-step specialization and domination off

next stage should be an attempt to complete

The only sizable decrease in total

dictator. But it is now rather generally be-
lteved that the historians will give Yalta a
nigh, perhaps a preeminent place, when they
come to chrOnlcllng the rise and spread of
world communism. 1t was an illusion that
the totalitarian threat to America could be
banished by helping the oldest and largest
tOtalitarian state in the world to swell far
beyond It's legitimate thnic boundaries. 1t
was an illusion to believe that a powerful,
heavily armed Soviet Union would play the
role Of cooperative dogOOder in a shattered
and impoverished Eurasia. 1t was an illu-
sion to believe that the balance of power
could be destroyed in Europe and Asia with
out involving the gravest danger to Amer
lcas own national security 1t was an illu-
sion to believe that Chang Kai-shek was
worth backing to the extent of involvement
IN costly war against apan and not worth
hitting finger for when he was threatened
by the Kremlin-spOnsOred Chinese COmmun-
lists. 1t was an illusion that these COmmun-
lists were nice agrarian refOrmers, jefferson
ian democrats, who scarcely knew there was
such place as Moscow.
What motives can account for the enOr-
nous concessions the two great Western
powers, then at their pinnacle of strength
and prestige, made to Russia at Yalta? First
OF all, Mr.. Roosevelt, especially, felt that it
was vital to bring Russia into the Pacific
war, almost regardless of the price demand
ed. Subsequent developments have shown
that Russia contributed virtually nothing to
this war and was not needed-but it must
be said, in justice to the late President and
his advisers, that he did not know that then.
and that he had been told by the highest mil
ltary authorities that an invasion of JAPAN
might result i'll a million casualties. Second.
we were then allies of Russia and. on the
surface at least, we were all friends and COM
rades looking forward to a long era of peace
and prosperity. Third, there was Mr.. Roose
Velt's belief that he could handle Stain inI
any future world development. But the Pres
ldent was mortal, and had not long to live. |
The extent to which illusion reigned at Yalta
is also found in the fact that with relatively
lew exceptions, the decisions made there
found a strong favorable reaction in public
opinion in the United States and Britain.
ana the Western. participants came home. as
cOnquering heroes. And here, to a large ex-
tent, is why Yalta has, in the view of thought |
1ul men, a strong bearing on the events of
today. We were Out-generaled-our states
manshlp failed. The shOrt-view took prece-
dence over the lOng-view We won war and
lost the peace. The big thing now, these
thoughtful men believe, is that the unhappv
example of Yalta not be forgotten, and that
the lessons we have learned from it help
guide our craftsmanship in the future.

COTTON is KING

Way back in the long ago it was
conceded that cotton was king"
1t seems that an advertisement
signed by group of Tennessee far
mers challenged the rights of any
group of Southern farmers to say
what the price of cotton will be re-
gardless of the sweat and toll that
Southern farmers assume in grow
ing cotton crops. But let us not
overlook the fact that America S
cotton has gone up 40 per cent
since the Korean war, as the Office
of Price Sterilization has issued
statement to that effect.
And statement made by au-
thOrity of the Associated Press says
that the fixing of price ceilings on
cotton is a very strange adventure

After remaining steady for three

TO February to 100000, while total
wage payments and working Zine

adelphia. For the first time in a
year, hourly earnings did not in
crease, averaging $L55, the same
as in January. Weekly earnings
were $62,09, slightly lower than the
January average, owing to a frac-
tional decline in the work week to
about 30 hours.
Both the nOndurable and durable
divisions increased the number en-
ployed by one per cent. The soft
goods lines also increased their
total payroll and hours by one

RAILROADS VITAL TO
REARMAMENT PROGRAM

A heavy tank rolls off an as
sombly line in Detroit A cargo
of guns arrives at dockside in New
York, bound for Europe Flam-
ing metal is poured into a mould
where it will harden into a cannon
in a Pittsburgh steel plant A
bOatlOad of ammunition and food
pulls out of a California port and
starts the long journey to South
Korea . A trainlOad of recruits
arrives at a training camp in Tex
as where, in a matter of weeks,
they will be turned into hardened
fighting men.
All these things are part of Am
erica's growing Tearmament pro-
gram. They are bound together by
transportation ~ large-scale, eff
cient transportation which makes
it possible for men and material
to be moved from any point in the
Nation to any other point, with
minimum expenditure of manpOwcr
and materials
Providing this sort of transpor-
tatiOn is a natural" for the Ma
tons railroads, which were espe-
cially built to carry large and
heavy loads in volume. The fact
that the railroads are moving the
great bulk of Americas rearma-
ment and civilian goods demon
strates again that the inherent eco
nOmy and efficiency of the rail-
roads are uneQualled by any other
form of transportation
For example, railroads can move
100000 tons of freight from coast
to coast with 80 tank cars of diesel
fuel To move that amount by
truck would require $50 tank cars
of diesel fuel, nearly three times
as much. To do the job by air
would take the contents of 2,79O
cars of aviation fuel, or 80 times as
much.
When it comes to manpOwer. the
is even more striking.
To do the job by railroad requires
Milford chronicle., 1951-03-23
Washington Letter --- ByIE. Jones

$500 man-days of train-crew time.
TO do it by truck would take 10000
man-days of trucksdriver time. And
to complete it by air would require
10000 man-days of plane-crew time.
This efficiency is enhanced by the
billions of dollars which the rail-
roads have spent on improved plant
and equipment-new and better
cars, more powerful locomotives.
better tracks, lighter grades and
lesser curves, improved signals and
communications, new gravity type
yards and terminals, and other i'm
prOvements all along the line.
The railroads are planning to
continue these betterments. What's
more, to meet present and antici-
pated rearmament needs, they have
on order more than $4,000 new
freight cars, the largest backlog of
orders in history They have also
sharply increased the percentage of
their cars in sCrviceable condition
and will increase it still further.
In order to carry through this
program of improvement and ex-
pansion, the railroads need and
must have two things: sufficient
steel and adequate revenues.
AS far as steel is concerned. il is
vitality necessary that the railroads
be recognized and dealt with as de-
Tense industries i'm the ALLEGATION
of this basic metal.
It is equally important that the
railroads be allowed to earn enough
money to pay for improvements and
