The President Of the Turkish
republic, Celal Bayar, the first
high ranking Turkish official
to set foot on American soil,
has as the sole purpose Of his
visit to this country the fur
ther cementing of the already
strong ties between the two
republics.
Mr.. Bayar intends to ask no
increased assistance or any
additional guarantees" that
We shall help Turkey in case
of need. He is fully confident
that this will come automat-
ically and speedily. He knows
that the United States realizes
that in the present complex
world situation it has no
stauncher or more faithful
friend than Turkey.
This country voluntarily Of
fered to assist Turkey in 1947
when 1t was hard-pressed by
the U. S. S. r. The Truman
doctrine approved overwhelm-
ingly by both parties in Con-
gress was not the result Of any
direct pleading for help from
Ankara. The Turks merely
kept us posted about the
threatening notes from Mos
cow and the concentration Of
Red forces on their borders.
But they did not ask Cor our
help. They told us that in the
event of a Red invasion they
were determined to fight 70 the
last man despite the heavy
odds against them.
In rare moment of lucidity.
the State Department realized
that the collapse of Turkey
would give Russia its greatest
victory in history and would
place the West at an ire
trievable disadvantage. Quick
consultations between the
White House. Congress and
the State Department resulted
in the birth of the Truman
doctrine which saved the hard
pressed Turks and Greeks from
being placed behind the Iron
Curtain. The Turks thus found
one more reason to be deeply
grateful to America.
Few people in this country
remember that it was this
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-01-26

1t used to be before the days
Of high taxes.
Perhaps the most striking
proposal Of all. however, is the
one that would allow deduc-
tions each year to owners of
buildings and equipment. The
new plan would permit tax de-
auctions for depreciation up to
two-thirds Of the value OF a
property IN the first half Of
the life of the building or
equipment. This provides a
needed flexibility. 1t could
mean an unparalleled stimulus
to Office building construction
and to the manufacture of
mechanical equipment Of all
kinds. Many a company could
cut costs and perhaps prices If
it had up-to-date equipment.
When a company can finance
this purchase out of it's earn
ings, the buying of new equip
ment Is Immediately encour-
aged.
Then there is the proposed
housing program through Gov
eminent insurance of mort
cages and financing of slum-
clearance projects which the
President has just outlined to
Congress. It could mean the
addition of many billions Of
dollars a year to business vol
ume in America. with emphasis
on jobs as well as on the ex-
pansion of heavy-goods indus
tries.
All these items are not just
part of a plan to avoid de-
preston. They go much fur
ther. They are designed to give
America an era of unparalleled
prosperity when military
spending in the future neces-
sarily taperS off and the cit
liens are permitted-as they
always used to be permitted
to spend their money for en-
terprises that create more jobs.
This means not just jobs
that disappear when a war
crisis fades away but jobs that
keep on increasing in number
as the country grows and as
capital for enterprises becomes
more and more abundant.
Should Congress adopt the
proposals, the years 1855 and
1856 will be the first to reveal
the full effects of the expan-
sion program of today. But its
momentum will continue for
decades to come. It's a sub
stitute for Government spend
ing-and the interesting thing
is that Britain, after applying
the same formula a few
months ago, is now rapidly in
creasing her tax receipts.

also used to attack Eisenhower.
There was no evidence that
the President had limited to
any of his followers that he
thought he had made a mis-

the G. o. P. went down the

Senators up next fall: An

a growing independence of
