Inviting a Dangerous Inference

General Eisenhower is saying that in Korea
we have terrific problem" We have He says
we are waging war far from our shores at
great expense and great loss in terms of the
blood Of our young men, and that South Koreans
must be prepared to defend their own front lines
That Is correct.
But when he couples such statements with
the assertion that "there Is no sense In the
United Nations, with America bearing the brunt
of the thing, being constantly compelled to man
those front lines" for that is a job for the
Koreans he is inviting false or misleading
inference.
We are, of course, training and equipping
South Koreans for front-line combat. We have
been doing so for some time. There are more
South Koreans than American and United Ma
tions soldiers on the front lines now, and they
are giving a good account OF themselves as
soldiers. Despite our own high losses, more South
Koreans than Americans have been killed in
battle In Korea More equipment is flowing to
South Korean troops as our production increases
and as their own training in the use Of such
equipment expands.
The dangerous inference that can be drawn
from General Eisenhowers remarks is that
Americans are doing the fighting that South
Koreans should be doing, and that if we train
and equip enough Of them, the South Koreans
can take over. That depends on other things
than training and equipping South Koreans.
It depends on whether the prospect dirns, or
grows greater, Of continued aggression by Soviet
supported Chinese Communists AS long as the
Chinese Communists, backed by the Russians.
remain prepared for renewal of large-scale
aggressive warfare in Korea American soldiers
are going to remain in the front lines along with
the South Koreans. To believe otherwise is to
create false hopes, adding to the complications Of
that terrific problem" in Korea which General
Eisenhower will inherit as his responsibility
should he become the next President of the
United States.

Eisenhower is going to win now that
his presence and his speeches are receiv-
ing such acclaim and Taft has come out
for him so strongly.
Despite this. f1nd that when he was
nominated, such good job was done in

Of many it still persists that the Demo-
Gratis are bound to win.
It does not promote victory to feel

Senhower leading substantially. And
these polls do mean much despite the
fact that they missed it at the l948

especially due to the fact that millions

Thoughts About Tuxes
Woman Patriot.

Having read in your splendid paper
and elsewhere many ideas and opinions
on taxation. desire to express several
beliefs of my own.
Taxes should be levied for revenue
only. i.e.: Government operations, in
terest on the public debt, debt retire
ment; and not for punitive or restric-
tive purposes. 1t would seem to me that
the lending of the peoples earnings
through the RFC is anything but ire
construction" and would be better
handled by private concerns. This points
up serious problem in controlling both
State and Federal budgets. Temporary
agencies continue and spread like crab
grass. Appropriations for State and
local projects never seem to cover the
costs, due to imitation and to continuing
obligations. such as the farm price sup
port program. begun in distress periods.
Taxes should be geared to the earn
ings Of the people. Hence, there should
be recognition by taxing bodies Of the
necessity Of adjustments and awareneSs
of the factor of disbursement Of
thrift, which leads to greater depend-
ence on a centralized Federal Govern
ment. The factor Of available funds
for investment also should be consid-
cred, for new industries are Americas
new frontiers, providing opportunities
for our growing population. One Of
the most discouraging signs Of our
times Is the utter lack Of prospect Of
any Federal tax relief or apparent de-
sire to work toward 1t. In my State
there Is q provision for tax reduction
when the revenue reaches a stated fip.
ure. This provision is under fire. In
the United States Congress. too often the
saving Of "only million or 80" Is neg
lected as being insignificant. All Of our
taxing bodies should show a map Of the
United States printed in the New Eng
land Letter showing Federal expendi-
lures in 1947 to have been equal to
personal income of all citizens in the
tier Of States from North Dakota to
Texas and west Of them to the Pacific.
The tax levy should be equitable.
Equality in tax levying and collecting
should be the rule from the beginning
of schedules through enforcement. I
think 1t fair to state that review Of
non-tax associations and co-operativeS
is in order. Likewise in city and county
jurisdictions real estate taxes should
be as nearly equal as may be for home
owners and apartment dwellers.

George Beveridge states that Justice

Tuft Not Eye-to-Eye With Ike

I have been continuously amused by
the all-knowing attitude exhibited by
one Of The Stars pro- Eisenhower. col
umnists, Frank r. Kent, but his recent
article entitled "Sees Stevenson Paying
for CLIO. Support" smacks Of the ri
diculous.
Particularly humorous was his de-
claration, regarding the Taft Eisenhower
meeting, that There was on neither
side any compromise of principle" At
best. this is very questionable state
ment. certainly not evidenced by what
has transpired thus far.
Admittedly Taft has given his super
fetal support to Eisenhower and is at
tacking New Deal-Fair Deal faux pas,
but does it necessarily follow that they
believe in the same constructive princi-
pies? Never forget that the last 20 years
have been lean ones for the Republicans
and if Taft failed to campaign for the
Republican ticket, it would, in all prob
ability. mean four more lean years.
It should also be pointed out that the
Republican National Convention recog-
nized the need for greater liberalism In
their party in selecting Eisenhower, cast
ing aside the Old Guard conservatism Of
Bob Taft.
Furthermore, it is very dificult to
Evening star., 1952-10-04

reconcile the stand taken by Ike on
social security, farm price supports and
foreign policy with Taft's views. Indeed,
the general has pulled the Democratic
platform right out from under Mr..
Stevenson.
In addition. to say that there wasn't
any compromise is to refute Senator
Morse, one OF the Republican Party's
most ardent supporters, who by the way
is himself liberal" Republican. There
may not have been any compromise by
either party. but If there wasn't. the
ignominious "two-headed elephant" still

Greasy Thumbs Toxes

Your recent editorial, "Just and Equi-
tabie?" was critical Of the compromise
by which Greasy Thumb Guzik settled
$500, 900 Of taxes for 100000. You note
that he was then supposedly broke, but
is now back in the rackets and appar-
emily doing very well. Your criticism
seems most unrealistic. Suppose the full
liability had been left outstanding, hang
ing over Greasy Thumbs head. The
next $500, 900 he earned. net after cur
rent taxes. would be seized by the tax
collector. At present rates, he would
have to gross several million dollars be-
fore he had dime to spend on himself.
Greasy Thumb is only human. In such
q case. he would have had no incentive
to work. and he would have retired from
the rackets. BY wiping the slate clean,
we have encouraged him to return to
productive effort, earning more and more
taxable income from the rackets, and
thus helping to meet the Federal deficit.
