pressed itself on the steel-wage

hearings there has been dis
cussion Of the huge amounts

It would appear that Uncle
Sam has very material inter-
est in what happens to tax reve-
nues, and any plan to reduce
the receipts means that new
taxes have to be collected from
other citizens. To ignore this
trend is to encourage imitation
by disbursing more and more
money at a time when the anti
imitation cry Of the administra-
ton has been against any de-
liberate increases in purchasing
power for citizens generally.
There is no argument Of ac-
tual need or privation involved

CIO has based much of its
agreement merely on the ground
that the steel companies can af-
ford to pay the increased wages
out Of gross profits. There has
been a definite indication that
the unions believe the companies
should grant the increases be-
cause the added costs are de-
ductible for tax purposes. This
is plainly a matter in which the
